"It's been a bit of a whirlwind since I've been out but thank you to everybody who voted for me, I had the best time.

"We'll see what happens next but I hope you enjoyed me on there and I hope you enjoyed me teaching Matt Hancock some dance moves because that was interesting but send me a message and send me your highlights because I would love to know."

Needless to say, fans were shocked when Ant and Dec announced Scarlette's name towards the end of Sunday's show and were "gutted" about the A Place in the Sun presenter not making it further in the competition.

The campmates became emotional as they read their letters from home 

Zara Tindall wrote in to send her husband Mike love from her and the children. The letter read: "Hi my love, we are missing you so much and really needing some papa hugs, but glad you're sharing them with your campmates.

"The girls are enjoying sports and throwing themselves into everything at the moment and the little man is loving life, smashing it up, learning some new words. Z, M, L and L. x."
