I’m A Celeb viewers ‘gutted’ as Shaun Ryder is FIRST to leave alongside ‘irritating’ Gillian McKeith

I’m a Celebrity South Africa saw Shaun Ryder and Gillian McKeith become the first stars to leave the camp on Friday.

Shaun, Phil Tufnell and Andy Whyment left the Savannah Scrub and headed into Main Camp, only to discover they would take part in the first survival Trial of the series.

Each picked another celebrity to do it with them, and the losing pair would leave camp for good – with Shaun picking former nemesis Gillian. 

The challenge saw the pairs handcuffed together and had to remove spanners and wrenches from three boxes – filled with creepy crawlies – in a bid to free themsleves. 

While Phil, teamed with Georgia Toffolo, got off to a flying start they were followed close behind by Andy and Jordan Banjo.

However Gillian refused to put her hand in her first box as she was scared of the snakes inside, resulting in the two being the first to leave camp. 

Fans took to Twitter to declare their disappointment at Shaun’s exit, after he was previously tipped to be crowned king of the jungle. 

While others slammed Gillian as ‘irritating’ and saying that she  ‘didn’t even try’ to win the task.

One wrote: ‘Poor Shaun. Glad Gillian is gone though. Irritating woman’.

While another added: ‘Shaun is taking one for the team. I’ll be gutted to see him go but glad to be rid of Gillian’.
