The comedian was the fifth star to be eliminated

A second was equally perplexed by Babatúndé being beaten by his other campmates: "WHO is still voting for Chris Moyles????? Baba was waaaaaay better in there than Chris!"

A third said: "Absolutely gutted about Baba leaving," as a fourth commented: "Babatunde was easily the most entertaining. I'm so sad he's out."

Babatúndé was the fifth famous face to be voted off by the public on the ITV reality show. The first to leave was Loose Women presenter Charlene White followed by Scarlette Douglas. On Monday, Sue Cleaver left, and, on Tuesday, Boy George exited.
