The first contestant in I'm A Celebrity....Get Me Out of Here! comedian Shappi Khorsandi has been voted out off the programme. 

On hearing that she had been voted off Khorsandi said she expected Rebekah Vardy to win the competition. 

Also she cheered and said: "I'll see my babies. I'm not upset, I will see you all on the other side."

She told hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly: "I'm so relieved. I miss my children like crazy."

Tearfully she added: "I feel like I had the most incredible experience and I will never forget it.
"I think I got off lightly, I only got bitten by about 100,000 ants, some people had it a lot worse. My last challenge wasn't gory, it was funny and silly."

Shaparak "Shappi" Khorsandi is a British comedian who left Iran as a child following the Islamic Revolution. She is a stand-up comedian who often appears on programmes like Have I Got News For You and 8 Out of 10 Cats.

 

The comedian said the biggest challenge in the jungle was the food deprivation which she said: "It messes with your head, it messes with your mood.

You think you're going to have games and fun but everyone is so tired."

She said the hardest task was swimming fully dressed with a heavy rucksack on her back.

Earlier in the episode Dennis Wise was given immunity from elimination after Jamie Lomas, Amir Khan and Georgia "Toff" Toffolo secured an immunity key in a chamber challenge dubbed The Thread Of Dread.

Lomas and Vardy also took part in a Bushtucker Challenge, in which they secured eight stars for the camp, landing them a goat leg for dinner.

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! continues on TV3 tonight at 9.10pm.
