The rest of the campmates looked stunned at the results.

They quickly surrounded him with hugs before chanting "it was a fix" as he left the camp for good.

Frankie said the experience had been "surreal" and "emotional".

In his first interview with Ant and Dec, Frankie said: "It's been so surreal and what an adventure.

"Yesterday really hit me when I got the letter from our loved ones, you forget there is a world outside watching you.

"We've been out comfort zone for so long."

He continued: "Emotions were up and down, I've been dieting for 30 years but this takes you to another level.

"The heat, the fatigue of the jungle, you just need some food in the stomach to fuel the body. You're slowing down and shutting off, even a mouthful of rice perks you up.

"It's been challenging but we've had a fantastic camp."

Ant asked if he was disappointed to be the first one out, with him replying: "Yes, I'm disappointed but also very happy because I did nearly two weeks in the jungle. I beat my fears of enclosed spaces and snakes all in the same task, I met some wonderful people and it's been a fantastic experience."

Frankie then settled the argument over who is the better camp chef - saying First Dates Fred is better in the kitchen.

While he also said he wants larger than life" Sam Thompson to win the show.

Fans were stunned to see Frankie go, with one writing: "What? I thought Nella was definitely going."

Another posted: "Frankie shouldn't have been the first out - there were other people that should have gone before him."

YouTube star Nella, 26, was tipped to be the first person to be voted out of the jungle, followed by jockey Frankie with 2-1 odds, and actor Nick Pickard with 4-1 odds.

While Marvin Humes and Nigel Farage both hdd odds of 14-1 to exit, with Tony Bellew and Fred Sirieix at 33-1 odds.

It comes after a jam-packed episode where Nella took on her eight trial, Fright at the Museum.

Arriving at the Trial clearing Ant said: “Why do you think the public voted for you?”

Nella replied: “I couldn’t tell you. I genuinely don’t know. It’s either I’m doing good or I’m doing bad. But at this point it is what it is.”

Dec explained: “This is Fright at the Museum. You have to search inside the jungle museum for stars that are hidden within the exhibits.

"When you find a star, get it in your star bag. Only stars that are in your star bag at the end of the Trial will count.

"However, this museum hasn’t been open for years, so it is pretty dark in there. It’s pitch black is what I’m trying to say. You’re going to have to search around to try and feel for the stars. It’s just 10 minutes to find 10 stars.”

She smashed the trial after getting 9 out of 10 stars and said: “It was very scary. I’m shaking. Fear of the unknown.

"I just remembered, Tony, he really believes in me and he thinks I’m the strongest woman on the planet, confined space, you lot pushed it with that. In the jet black, no. But me and Tony Bellew neck and neck.”

She added: “Guys, I’m super proud of myself. Normally when I get scared I tend to run away. This time, I stuck through with it and we get to eat.” 

Meanwhile, jokey Frankie found a snake in camp and campmates competed to win letters from home.

There was plenty of tears after the campmates worked together and successfully won their letters.

I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! continues Monday at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
