Ant and Dec confirmed in Thursday night’s show that votes would open during Friday’s episode for the first vote-off. Last year’s first eviction saw a shock for I’m A Celeb producers as their best-paid contestant and late entrant Noel Edmonds was sent packing after spending just one week in the jungle, proving that anyone could be at risk.
Do Ant and Dec reckon we could be in for another shock elimination this year? Speaking to Joel Dommett and Emily Atack on ITV2 companion show Extra Camp, Ant and Dec revealed the campmate they reckon could be in danger in the first vote-off. Ant admitted: ¨I think it is fair to say that Cliff is in danger as he's not doing a lot.¨
Dec then agreed with his co-host that the EastEnders and Call The Midwife star could well be facing the axe, saying, ¨I think he is struggling a bit and his energy levels have dropped and he's not been in the show a huge amount,¨ referring to the fact Cliff has been ruled out from several trials ‘on medical grounds’.
Whilst the boys’ prediction does make a lot of sense, the competition has been thrown wide open by the ‘curse’ twist. Tonight’s episode will see the celebs fighting for immunity from the vote with yet more ‘Reckonings’ - although as Cliff admitted he wasn’t that keen on the jungle in the first place, perhaps he won’t be too bothered…
