The I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! 2024 camp has bid adieu to another celebrity as Melvin Odoom becomes the fourth star to be evicted from the show. He said his goodbyes to the I'm A Celebrity 2024 jungle on Monday night, with Tulisa Contostavlos being the latest celeb to pack her bags.

The former N-Dubz singer was announced as the third contestant to exit by hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, following the start of eliminations last week. The vote came down to Melvin and Maura Higgins.

Upon hearing his name, he exclaimed: "Yes! " No, this is good!" as he stood up and gave his campmates a thumbs up. Speaking to Ant and Dec, he queried: "Was I the happiest to leave?, reports the Mirror.

Sorry, I smell. " He also stated: "I was ready to go, but it's been a really wild experience. Ups and downs. The best thing about it has been the people."

He mentioned everyone had his back before saying Oti was "his girl" and gave a shout out to Barry McGuigan. "I did struggle on certain days," he admitted. Just a day after Dean McCullough waved goodbye, and shortly after Loose Women's Jane Moore was sent packing, the most recent episode saw Tulisa make her departure.

Speaking to Ant and Dec, Tulisa confessed she found the jungle life challenging, describing it as "hard in there". Reflecting on her time in the jungle, she described it as a "whirlwind" and marvelled at how much she had achieved during her stay. "You're just going to be more grateful for everything. The food you eat, the people that you love... you don't realise how good you've got it," she admitted.

Despite the challenges of the jungle environment, she felt she stayed true to herself throughout. She found the eating trial particularly challenging and struggled to keep her cool among the creepy crawlies. Before her departure, fans expressed their dismay at the thought of any contestant leaving, with comments such as: "Don't want anyone to go.

This is a tough year, anyone that goes will be sad to see," and others shared the sentiment, "I don't want anyone to leave. " In the end, Tulisa was eager to discover whether Melvin Odoom had succeeded in charming Carol Vorderman. The latest from the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! camp reveals that viewers are devastated and wish none of the celebrities would have to leave.

One fan commented, "I love that we all collectively agree, that we all do not want ANYONE to leave now... can't they all stay, this is the best camp," while another was anxious about the impending exits: "Does someone leave tonight?! I can't imagine anyone leaving I love them all.

" Viewers were left in shock following Tulisa's unexpected departure from the show. Fans took to social media to express their astonishment, with one tweeting, "So surprised that Tulisa is the one gone," while another viewer added, "Tulisa should've been a finalist," and another incredulously posted: "WHO THE ACTUAL F**K VOTED FOR TULISA. "

The surprise heightened as Ant and Dec revealed on Sunday night that Dean was also leaving the Aussie jungle, after being pitted against Irish boxing legend Barry McGuigan. Dean didn't hide his elation at being evicted, shouting jubilantly, "I'm going home, I'm going home, I need my underwear, I'll see you later! I'm going home!" During his post-eviction discussion with the hosts, he was all smiles, remarking, "Boys, it's absolutely nuts.

I still can't believe I'm here. "His lack of regret was clear as he said, "Not at all, I have really soaked up this whole experience.

All the trials. " However, the mood shifted when the hosts reminded him about his requests for an early exit during two of the trials. Despite Ant's teasing comment, "You were so harsh!", the pair justified their approach as simply 'tough love', asserting that they believed Dean could handle the challenges presented. Just days before the series finale of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! , Loose Women's Jane became the first celeb to be booted out. Earlier in the week, Jane was the first to bid farewell to the Aussie jungle after enduring challenging trials and surviving on a basic diet of beans and rice.

Speaking with Ant and Dec post-exit, she described her time in the jungle as "such a weird and magical experience". When asked about her early departure, she joked: "No more washing up - yes!" She also noted that: "Hard work doesn't get rewarded.".
