Meanwhile, in I'm a Celebrity, viewers saw how gutted Babatúndé was when Scarlette Douglas was voted off during Sunday's show. The star looked visibly emotional when the Channel 4 star waved goodbye.

"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."
