Chris Moyles said he was "gutted" that Matt Hancock is more popular than him as he became the sixth contestant to be eliminated from I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
The radio DJ, 48, was announced as the celebrity with the fewest public votes during Thursday’s show by hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly.
During his 20 days in the Australian jungle, Moyles had moments of highs and lows and struggled throughout the series when faced with Bushtucker trials.
He dived quite literally into Camp life, but now it's time for the voice of breakfast radio to sign off from his Jungle family! 🎤 @ChrisMoyles is the sixth Celeb to leave this year! #ImACeleb pic.twitter.com/3caFcM01PO

After his exit, he told McPartlin and Donnelly: "I’m gutted that Matt Hancock is more popular than me, what the bejesus is going on?"
Moyles admitted it was difficult for him living alongside the former health secretary in camp, saying: "I really struggled with it, to be fair.
"And then what I did was, because I slagged him a bit, I separated Matt Hancock with Matt because we were living with this guy, and he was doing his best to win us stars for food and everything and chipping in so I had to separate the two.
"Matt Hancock I’ve got major issues with but Matt – less issues."
The radio DJ entered the jungle alongside reality star Olivia Attwood by jumping out of a chopper which he said was a real achievement for him as he does not like heights or helicopters.
One of his next challenges tested him further as he had to crawl into an enclosed space which he said he did not previously have a fear of but the trial made him develop one.
He joked: "I’m the only person who’s done the show and leaves with more fear than when I came in."
During his time in the jungle, Moyles had a number of low-scoring performances in the trials and earlier in the episode, he only managed to secure one star out of a possible six alongside campmate Owen Warner.
Asked why he found it so difficult, Moyles said: "I’m scared of everything and I know this now.
"I’m an anxious, scared man that’s only comfortable in a radio studio. So I wasn’t cut out for the majority of this life."
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! continues on on ITV1 and Virgin Media One.
