Viewers stunned after Denise Drysdale booted from I'm a Celeb
The first celebrity has been voted out of this year's I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!
Aussie TV legend Denis Drysdale became the first shock elimination of the 2024 series after arriving late in the jungle.
While fans and campmates were shocked when Robert Irwin announced the star's name, she was more than happy to return to civilisation.
“Oh, it was more than what I expected,” she told the show's hosts, Irwin and Julia Morris.
When asked if she felt "bittersweet" about being the first celebrity booted out of the show, she admitted: “Can I say not so bitter?! It’s sweet! I’m sorry, I have to be – I have to be completely honest!”
“It is s**t in there!” she continued. “It is s**t, it’s unbelievable! The dunnies, the dirt! Now I’m a clean person – there’s dirt upon dirt upon dirt upon dirt.”
“But I’m so glad that I’ve done it. I’ve done it and I’m proud of myself. So I must say thank you to the Celebrity people for giving me the opportunity to prove to myself I can go in there and do it," she added.
A few fans took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to express their shock at the decision.
“What on earth?!” wrote one.
“People saved Callum over DENISE??” added another.
