Seann Walsh became the seventh star to be eliminated from the I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! jungle on Friday night.

The comedian, 36, was joined by Owen Warner in the bottom two before hosts Ant and Dec announced that he was the next person to leave the camp.

Joining Ant and Dec for his interview, Seann said: ‘That was crazy. What just happened?’ before going on to recall his initial shock at seeing Matt Hancock in the jungle as they first entered the camp.

Gone: Seann Walsh became the seventh star to be eliminated from the I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! jungle on Friday night

Detailing his time on the show, Seann said: ‘I’m watering, the eyes. So many amazing memories. I absolutely loved it. It is tough and I don’t know how much that comes across through the screen but it is tough for everyone.

‘As soon as you said my name all of the toughness just goes and now I’m just left with absolutely incredible memories. I’m going to need a long time to process.’

On seeing disgraced former Health Secretary Matt when they entered camp as late arrivals, Seann told the hosts: ‘Very good guys… well done, I was not expecting that – I don’t think anyone else.

‘When I saw Matt, I thought, “maybe I’m not going out first!”‘

Stunned: Joining Ant and Dec for his interview, Seann said: ‘That was crazy. What just happened?’ before going on to recall his initial shock at seeing Matt Hancock in the jungle as they first entered the camp

However, Seann, who formed a close friendship with the politician, was quick to add: ‘But he’s a lovely guy, he’s very funny.’

During the interview, the comedy star went on to discuss the issues he’s faced since his career took a nose-dive in the wake of his Strictly kissing scandal with Katya Jones and the subsequent gas lighting accusations by his ex-girlfriend Rebecca Humphries.

On his fears of how viewers and campmates would perceive him, he explained: ‘Well I think that’s my issue and in my head.

Time to go: The comedian, 36, was joined by Owen Warner in the bottom two before hosts Ant and Dec announced that he was the next person to leave the camp

Reunited: Seann gave a big hug to his pregnant girlfriend Grace Adderley as she greeted him on the bridge upon his exit

Good times: Detailing his time on the show, Seann said: ‘I’m watering, the eyes. So many amazing memories. I absolutely loved it’

‘We all listened to each other in there and everyone got their story out and there was so much support. We all accepted one and other for who we are today and in that jungle. To get this far it feels great.’

The stand-up comic also told of his joy at not only meeting popstar Boy George but getting to wash his back too, before joking that jungle life hadn’t cured his fear for spiders.

He added that he was ‘disappointed’ not to be in the highly-anticipated cyclone, but said he had ‘the best experience of my live. It was amazing.’

Reflection: ‘As soon as you said my name all of the toughness just goes and now I’m just left with absolutely incredible memories. I’m going to need a long time to process’

Can’t believe it: On seeing disgraced former Health Secretary Matt when they entered camp as late arrivals, Seann told the hosts: ‘Very good guys… well done, I was not expecting that’

Pals: However, Seann, who formed a close friendship with the politician, was quick to add: ‘But he’s a lovely guy, he’s very funny’

Before leaving, Seann tipped Jill Scott to be crowned Queen of the Jungle, telling the presenters: ‘I’m afraid it’s an easy answer. I love all of them but from the minute I met her, it had to be her… Jill. She’s the winner.’

Seann’s exit leaves Owen, Jill, Matt and Mike Tindall in the final four, with the campmates set to tackle the exciting Celebrity Cyclone trial.

It comes after Chris Moyles was the sixth campmate to be voted off this year’s series during Thursday night’s episode.

The Radio DJ, 48, was named in the bottom two of the public vote by show hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly with comedian Seann Walsh.

Candid: The comedy star went on to discuss the issues he’s faced since his career took a nose-dive in the wake of his Strictly kissing scandal with Katya Jones and the subsequent gas lighting accusations by his ex-girlfriend Rebecca Humphries

Honest: On his fears of how viewers and campmates would perceive him, he explained: ‘Well I think that’s my issue and in my head’

‘She’s the winner’: Before leaving, Seann tipped Jill Scott to be crowned Queen of the Jungle, telling the presenters: ‘I’m afraid it’s an easy answer. I love all of them but from the minute I met her, it had to be her… Jill’

What an experience: Seann added that he was ‘disappointed’ not to be in the highly-anticipated cyclone, but said he had ‘the best experience of my live. It was amazing’

His love: The comic was reunited with pregnant girlfriend Grace, who showed off her baby bup in a blue summer dress

Taking a seat for his exit interview – before being reunited with his former campmates at their hotel – Chris said: ‘I just said this morning in the Bush Telegraph, “I’ve got this now, I’d really like to stay,” before adding: ‘I’m gutted Matt Hancock is more popular than me!’

Former Health Secretary Matt made the controversial decision to appear on the jungle survival series this year.

Speaking about the West Suffolk MP, Chris said: ‘I really struggled with it to be fair, I slagged him a bit. I separated Matt Hancock from Matt.

‘We had to live with him and he was winning the stars and getting us food.

Farewell: It comes after Chris Moyles was the sixth campmate to be voted off this year’s series during Thursday night’s episode

Shocked: Chris was surprised he was voted off the show before former Health Secretary Matt Hancock, with the broadcaster saying ‘I’m gutted Matt Hancock is more popular than me!’

End of the road: Chris was named in the bottom two of the public vote by show hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly with comedian Seann Walsh (right)

‘Matt Hancock, I’ve got massive issues with, but Matt I’ve got less issues with.’

Chris said he felt like a ‘competition winner’ going into camp, adding: ‘I never got over the surrealness of it all. I’d often be the last one go to bed and I’d go to the dunny and I’d look back and I’d go, “Wow!'”‘

He added: ‘It’s such a privilege to be able to do it… To be a part of this is a real honour. I know I won’t appreciate it until I’m out.’

Unimpressed: Chris said of Matt during his exit interview: ‘I really struggled with it to be fair… I separated Matt Hancock from Matt’

Delighted: Chris said he felt like a ‘competition winner’ going into camp, adding: ‘I never got over the surrealness of it all’

The broadcaster struggled to successfully compete in the trials, at one point only managing to win one star for camp, meaning the group had one meal to share between them at a point when there was 11 people residing in camp.

He explained: ‘I’m an anxious scared man who is really comfortable in a radio studio. I’m not cut out for this life.’

Chris burst into tears as his girlfriend Tiffany Austin ran to greet him after he crossed the bridge out of camp as flares were set off and confetti was fired into the air.

Unforgettable: He added: ‘It’s such a privilege to be able to do it… To be a part of this is a real honour. I know I won’t appreciate it until I’m out’

Chris’s departure prompted a mixed reaction from the viewing public, with some taking to Twitter to say they were sorry to see him go, while others thought it was the right time.

Offering their congratulations to the star, one viewer tweeted: ‘Hugggge well done Chris! Gutted you’re out but love ya loads!!’

Another fan posted: ‘@ChrisMoyles you smashed it mate wish you had done [final trial] Cyclone we have loved watching you all the way #TeamMoyles baby.’

Emotional: Chris burst into tears as his girlfriend Tiffany Austin ran to greet him after he crossed the bridge out of camp as flares were set off and confetti was fired into the air

‘Sad to see Chris Moyles go, was in my top 3,’ wrote another home audience member.

While someone else shared: ‘Sooooo sad to see @ChrisMoyles leave the jungle. He was my winner all the way #teamMoyles #ImACelebrity.’

‘Great job Chris, sad you’re out, but great to see you so happy!,’ posted another viewer.

Opinion: Chris received a mixed reaction on Twitter after his departure, with some viewers offering their support while others said his exit came at the right time

Pleased that Chris has voiced his opinion on Matt, one viewer wrote: ‘Fair play to you Chris Moyles for speaking out tonight about @matthancock what a joke!’

Looking forward to him returning to his Radio X show, someone else wrote: ‘Chris Moyles is brilliant. I am glad he is still reminding everyone about the ridiculousness of Matt Hancock in the jungle. Can’t wait to hear him on air again.’

However, an unimpressed viewer tweeted: ‘He had to go as he is the most boring person I have ever seen on TV!’

Public vote: Other viewers took to social media to give their view on Chris being voted out ahead of Matt

While someone else wrote: ‘It was a wake-up call for Chris Moyles. He was absolutely rubbish in the jungle. He may not like Matt Hancock, but “Matt” was so much better than him. In fact, all the others were better than him.’

While someone else shared: ‘Brilliant, was definitely his time to go. He did nothing but moan and whine with Boy George and Sue.’

‘Chris Moyles has left the jungle. You really ain’t as funny as you like to think you are,’ wrote another viewer.

An amused viewer wrote: ‘Matt Hancock more popular than Charlene White, Boy George, Chris Moyles, Sue Cleaver.’
