Yahoo News I'm A Celebrity 2023 live: Nick Pickard is fourth star voted out
Tony Bellew hit out at Ant and Dec in the trial
I'm A Celebrity's Nick Pickard was the fourth celebrity to be voted out of the jungle. He managed 19 days in camp. Now we look forward to Sunday's final in the I'm A Celebrity jungle. Fred Sirieix was the third to be voted out, he followed after Nella Rose was evicted and Frankie Dettori who was the first to be sent home.
The week before Masterchef star Grace Dent and the little sister of Britney Spears, Jamie Lynn Spears, made early exits from the show on medical grounds. Now a star is being voted out every night by the public until we have our finalists.
Pickard opened up about his jungle experiences in his exit interview with McPartlin and Donnelly. Speaking candidly, he admitted Fred Sirieix had given Josie Gibson a bit of a "rough time" over the cooking. Then when he had to step into the role of chef, he shared his relief that he only had to cook for the trained chef just the once before Sirieix was voted out.
Asked about the chef role, he said: "I think, with Fred he's a chef it was a bit because he's done it for so long. We all chipped in. Then we got our own chores. He gave Josie a rough time, not in a bad way, because he's meticulous. I only had one service before he left."
While he had worried about the food before coming in, Pickard revealed it wasn't as bad as he had anticipated. He said: "To be fair, I've watched this show loads, there was one day when we had less stars. Every other day we come back with a couple. There was always something to work with. The meal time is when everyone comes together."
Plus, Pickard revealed the heartwarming reason he undertook the challenge of I'm A Celebrity. "I've got to be honest it was my family," he said. "I've never been asked before! It's a lifetime before." He said he knows who he is but the Hollyoaks actor wanted to do his family proud - his niece, his nephew, his girlfriend, all of his family.
Earlier in the episode, Tony Bellew shouted to McPartlin and Donnelly that they should be "ashamed" of themselves during the Critter Mixer trial. The former boxer was in charge of answering the questions while his fellow campmates Marvin Humes and Pickard were trapped into the mixer searching for stars.
As tensions rise in the Bushtucker trial, the sports star doesn't bite his tongue when he hits out at the cheeky TV presenters for laughing away at the famous faces. He told them: "This is wrong. This is very wrong. I'm trying not to swear. You should all be ashamed of yourselves." Follow the latest from the jungle in our blog below...
