One I\u2019m A Celebrity<\/a> star has been forced to leave the South African jungle after being booted out of camp in the first elimination of the series.<\/p>\n

It was revealed that Seann Walsh <\/strong>would be leaving the jungle immediately after Lion King H<\/a>arry Redknapp<\/a> was forced to make the difficult decision.<\/p>\n

As it’s pre-recorded, instead of the public voting to eliminate the celebrities,<\/a> the campmates themselves will choose who to bid farewell to after completing various tough challenges.<\/p>\n

The second series of the All-Star edition has been a hit with fans since its return to our screens. Now, as the 12 famous faces are close to reaching the end of the second week, the challenges are getting tougher for the campmates.<\/p>\n

At the end of Wednesday (April 15) night’s episode, Ant and Dec<\/a> threw the camp into chaos when they revealed that one of the Kings had to axe one of their loyal servants in the first eviction of the series.<\/p>\n

Lion King Harry and Rhino King Jimmy Bullard had to go head-to-head for the first time. In a shocking twist, the loser had to make the difficult decision to send one of their team members home.<\/p>\n

The two Kings took on the eating trial, and it was a close call as both stars completed every round. But sadly for Harry, Jimmy finished the last dish first.<\/p>\n

During tonight\u2019s (April 16) episode, Harry was forced to take on a brutal task following the aftermath of the Beastly Braai trial. As the Rhinos came out on top, the losing team’s King, Harry, was forced to choose a team member to leave camp forever.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the camera, Harry admitted: \u201cIt\u2019s a bit like being a football manager, really. I did that every Saturday of my life. It\u2019s just a shame someone has got to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

After being held back from the trial, he re-entered the Lions camp, and it didn\u2019t take long for his fellow campmates to quiz him as Ashley asked: \u201cWhat did you do with Ant & Dec?\u201d<\/p>\n

Harry looked devastated as he revealed: \u201cUnfortunately, because we lost, they’ve given me the difficult task of having to choose one of our fantastic campmates here to go home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Everyone was left in disbelief as Ashley jumped in and asked: \u201cNow?! Are you serious? Is this a wind-up?\u201d<\/p>\n

Harry had no choice but to deliver the bad news as he revealed that he had chosen to send Seann packing.<\/p>\n

When Seann’s name was announced, the rest of the campmates were devastated as they said their goodbyes before the booted star went to speak to Ant and Dec about their jungle experience.<\/p>\n

When he asked about how felt to be leaving the jungle, he said: “I’ve just been dropped by Harry Redknapp. The QPR manager just dropped me from the squad. I can’t believe it.”<\/p>\n

He went on to say: “Completely surreal experience. I mean, obviously, I finished fifth last time. My one goal in Australia was to not come last. I have finished last. You brought me back, and I did the thing I was most scared of. I can’t believe it. I just, anyway..”<\/p>\n

I’m a Celebrity South Africa airs on weeknights at 9pm on ITV1 and is also available to stream on ITVX.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
