Strictly Come Dancing’s Oti Mabuse was the ninth campmate to be voted off I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here on Saturday evening.
The 34-year-old professional dancer’s exit reveals the three finalists as Coleen Rooney, 39, Danny Jones, 38, and Reverend Richard Coles, 62.
Oti was greeted over the bridge by her husband of 11 years, Marius Lepure, 42, as the pair shared a passionate kiss after celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary on Friday.
She will be reunited with her daughter of 13 months who she went on the show for, because she wanted to prove, ‘Mum has goals too’.
And the Dancing on Ice judge did just that as she quickly became a favourite among her fellow campmates who praised her uplifting and caring nature.
Oti won immunity from the vote until the Cyclone challenge, which she successfully tackled today, after winning a trial on Thursday night.

Dressed in gold hotpants and cape, the mother-of-one called herself Captain Bokke as she joined Coleen, Rev Richard and Danny on the slippery tarpaulin and had jets of water and exercise balls thrown at her.
Speaking to Ant and Dec as she left the jungle she admitted: ‘You just come out as a stronger different person.’
The campmates have opened up a lot this year, and Oti explained: ‘Yes we cried a lot. Jane got us started and we never stopped! I never knew I was a crier.’
Revealing her worst day in camp she added: ‘There was one day I did a challenge, I came and cooked, did a trial and made dinner and then I did a challenge and then Maura threw away the food.
‘I just thought, I can’t do this anymore and I’m not good at change and I just let it go.’
Discussing what she has learnt about herself as a person she continued: ‘I have learnt to be happy with who I am. And that group allowed me to be all different versions of myself. I feel mentally and physically stronger.’
Asked who her winner is Oti appeared torn as she said: ‘Coleen is so strong and powerful in her silence and she gets on with it, but I’m going for Danny as my winner.’
Oti was left emotional during her surprise jungle reunion with husband Marius on Friday, after nearly three weeks apart.

The former Strictly star, who welcomed a baby daughter with the Romanian dancer, 42, in November 2023, was left stunned when her partner emerged from the trees and threw her arms around him.
Oti gushed: ‘Walking through the jungle this beautiful face was the last face I expected to see but the best surprise ever.’ before telling him how good he smelt.
Marius was full of surprises and in one pocket had an outfit that their baby had worn the day before, bursting into tears Oti hugged and smelled the tiny baby grow, declaring: ‘This is the perfect gift!’
He also produced a brand new diamond ring to celebrate the couple’s tenth wedding anniversary, with the dancer placing the sparkler on her finger.
She said: ‘This is exactly what I needed to spur me on until the end.’ As they went their separate ways, Oti then hugged and kissed him goodbye saying: ‘I love you.’
