I’m a Celebrity: South Africa fans are in for a shock as one “gutted” campmate has been told they have to leave the show. The show is set to reveal the identity of this mystery contestant in new scenes, as the remaining campmates learn about the news in disbelief.
In a new episode, the camp wakes up to a new day of challenges when one of the celebrities returns with unexpected news.
“Hi guys, I’ve just got something to tell you all,” they share.

“I didn’t feel very well this morning… and the medics have advised I can’t return to camp. I’ve got to go home,” they add.
Speaking about their imminent departure from the show, the campmate says: “I don’t want to go. I’m absolutely gutted. I wanted to finish.”
As the celebrities are in shock at losing one on their own, they offer encouragement to the departing star. With now only eight campmates left, the contestants reflect on the reality of taking on more trials as a reduced group.

This mysterious exit follows a shock departure last night as Gemma Collins became the third star eliminated this season.
The TOWIE star had to pack her bags in a double elimination twist, seeing former boxer David Haye being voted out of the camp following a vote among the campmates. After being told to choose another celebrity to go with him, David chose Gemma, leaving fans of the GC up in arms on social media.
