The latest star to leave I’m A Celebrity 2025 has spoken, as Eddie Kadi told hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly who he wants to win, and who may have contraband

After his I’m a Celebrity elimination on Sunday night, Eddie Kadi was ready to go – but not before dropping a claim about a campmate.

The comedian was the latest name to be booted out of the jungle, as confirmed by ITV hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly. Two days on from waving off the first celebrity to leave the show, Alex Scott, Eddie said “it’s time” as he fled over the bridge and waved goodbye to his jungle pals.

Joining Ant and Dec in the studio live on air, Eddie told them: “I’m happy and sad at the same time, I’m had I’m sappy, honestly what a great time. I’ve had such an incredible time.

“I have made amazing friends, faced some fears and to be fair, it feels very surreal to be on such an iconic show, but most of the time you forgot you were on a show.”

Eddie went on: “I feel like I’ve been there for a year, I’ve changed. It has changed my life. Things will never be the same. Even when you’ve got no food and you are hungry it goes to show we are enough as people. As human beings we are enough.”

He also discussed his friendship with Jack Osbourne, praising the way he taught everyone how to “survive” in the jungle. He said: “Jack went straight through, for me it was like survival.

“It’s like the first day of school when you’re not sure who to be friends with. He knows what he’s doing. He taught me how to start a fire, from that moment… he knows everything.” He now wants Jack to win the whole show.

It’s then that Eddie let slip that he thinks after the contraband scandals, there could be more in camp. He joked: “Ruby Wax has got some stuff, she’s probably got her cats.”

It comes after Alex confirmed she would not remain in Australia after her departure, confirming her return to the UK. Her partner Jess Glynne recently confirmed that her mother had suffered a stroke, with Alex now keen to be with her to support her.

The evicted celebrities usually stay until at the hotel until the final. But Alex wanted to be there for Jess, and said: “I want to be there for the wrap party but I need to get home straight away.

“She is my Jessica – I am going to go home and be her rock.” Before she even flew to Australia, Alex agonised over whether to pull out of the show.

In the end, it was Jess who told her she had to go. Speaking to the Mirror previously, she said: “It’s been a tough time for us and obviously her family, and it was a tough decision to come into the jungle, but then Jess never wanted me to step away from not doing it.

“I knew there was always a possibility of her not being across the bridge, if her mum hadn’t got better, or if things had been getting worse, which they have been. But it was a big decision for me to not pass this opportunity, and Jess was the one that pushed me to be here.”

NANTWICH, ENGLAND – MAY 24: A general view inside the former RAF Hack Green secret nuclear bunker on May 24, 2023 in Nantwich, England. Hack Green played a central role in the defence of Britain for almost sixty years. It was chosen during WW2 to protect the land between Birmingham and Liverpool from hostile attack and as a location for the new RADAR equipment. The bunker went on to be used for shelter and protection during the Cold War. As relations between East and West thawed many of the UK’s nuclear bunkers were sold off. The Secret Bunker is now privately owned by the Siebert family and is run as a museum trust. (Photo by Christopher Furlong/Getty Images)

Balvinder is a lifelong fan of Strictly who has wanted to take part for 20 years – let’s help her to enjoy Blackpool this weekend

Spare a thought for Balvinder Sopal. When she said last night that she just didn’t want to do the Strictly dance off, you’d have to have a heart of stone not to feel sorry for her, after she failed to get enough votes for the FOURTH time.

She’s now equalled 2015 contestant Jamelia for the all-time record she never wanted to hold – of having to fight for survival more than anyone else in the show’s history. One more, and she will take the title.

But surely, in Blackpool, the voting public needs to give the EastEnders star the support she deserves and let her just sail through to the following week without needing to perform twice? After all, in the jungle Ant and Dec have brought in new rules to stop the same people doing the Bushtucker Trials over and over again, so it seems only fair that Bal is also given a break.

The first time she was in the dance-off, against Ross King in week two, you could see it had massively knocked her confidence the following week. Since then she has also competed, and won, against rugby player Chris Robshaw, model Ellie Goldstein and now reality star Vicky Pattison.

The poor woman must be wondering how on earth she is still in the competition and also why it keeps on happening. But one thing is sure. Even though the situation is inevitably making her feel a bit unloved, it’s also making her fight. And boy, is she proving good at that.

Balvinder should also take heart over how judges have picked her to stay time and time again, showing that when she’s on the ropes, she can find something a little bit extra to impress them all. Craig said on Sunday that he’d noticed a “massive improvement” after her second go at the American Smooth – and so did the audience.

Of course today there are lots of people moaning that Vicky Pattison should have stayed in the competition – but the simple truth is that she and Kai were out of synch at times and it was all a bit messy while Balvinder and Julian went up a notch. They absolutely deserved to stay.

One fan lamenting Vicky’s demise moaned: “It’s crazy Balvinder got through – four times in the dance off, what does that tell you?” Well, what it tells me is that she’s got some resilience to come back each time and see off her opponents. Both women had the same score on Saturday, with 27 points apiece, but Bal did far better in the dance off. In the end, the decision was simple.

Balvinder is the perfect Strictly contestant – she’s not a trained dancer but she’s giving it her all and showing real signs of improvement each week. So let’s give her the treat she deserves for Blackpool – as a huge fan of the show for many years she’s bound to be hugely excited to make it to the iconic Tower Ballroom.

The Walford veteran many get to dance the Argentine tango that she’s long been dreaming to do this week – here’s hoping – but whatever she does, if it goes well, let’s stick some votes on her.

I’m backing an idea I saw being suggested by a fan who sensed she was “absolutely crushed” at the weekend. They said that if a few George Clarke fans threw Bal a side vote, she could have a week away from the dreaded red zone. “George would still avoid the dance off due to the apparent huge size of his fanbase and Bal could get a much needed break,” they said. Sounds like a plan to me.

So come on all you EastEnders fans. Suki needs you!
