Frankie Dettori inadvertently sparked a flurry of speculative tweets after becoming the first contestant voted out of this year’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
The Italian jockey left the outdoor camp as eliminations began on Monday evening, but he was the third campmate to exit following the early departures of Grace Dent and Jamie Lynn Spears.
Speaking to hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly after saying goodbye, Dettori reflected on his fifteen days in camp and admitted their unexpected loss of two contestants had put an undeniable strain on its remaining stars.
‘I met the first five of my camp, then I met the other five, it took a bit of time to get round the camp,’ he said.
‘Then obviously we had the incident with Grace, Jamie Lynn as well, so that put a dampener on the week. We had to re-group, and we had to re-focus, we did the tasks, the rain didn’t help.’

He added: ‘All the clothes were damp, it puts everybody in a bad mood, but in fairness everybody really pulled their weight and did their chores and we all got on really well.’
But the jockey’s words were misconstrued by viewers, with some claiming he was referring to an unaired issue between food critic Grace, 50, and Britney Spears’ 32-year old sister.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one viewer wrote: ‘Obviously there was the incident with Grace and Jamie Lynn.’
While a second added: ””We had the incident with Grace” – Frankie. What really happened when Grace left the jungle?’
Elsewhere a third commented: ‘Frankie: “the incident with Grace..” what incident? Thought she left on medical grounds?’
Speaking about his predictions for the winner of the show, Frankie revealed he thinks former Made In Chelsea star Sam Thompson will walk away victorious.
He said: ‘I would say my bet is Sam. He brings a lot to the table. He’s entertaining, he’s silly, he sings, he’s happy. I think people are going to like him…
‘That to me is the winner. Sometimes I wish he had the pause button right because I talk a lot but he talks non stop’.

Frankie shed light on being the first star out of the jungle and admitted he predicted his early departure because of the huge characters on the show.
As well as Sam, he referenced Nigel Farage, Tony Bellew, Marvin Humes and Josie Gibson as the stars who would captivate viewers.
He said: ‘[Being evicted] was a bittersweet moment…
‘I wanted to get to the final but with characters like Sam, Nigel, Tony, Marvin and Josie. I was never going to win it. So actually the thoughts of spending one more week there maybe was going to be a bit hard for me. So it was like bittersweet…
‘The sweet part is I’ve got to come out meet my lovely wife spend some time in the Gold Coast waiting for my other campmates to come out.’
On his relationship with controversial signing Nigel, he revealed: ‘I met Nigel before I went into the jungle. He’s a character larger than life… He’s interesting and knowledgeable. He’s a good laugh…

‘I never got to talk to him about politics because I’m not interested. One on one as a person he’s always good fun’.
In some insight into jungle life, he was asked about the dramas between First Dates star Fred Sirieix and Josie, after the former’s status of camp chef was removed in favour of the latter – who has been candid about her lack of cookery skills.
Frankie said: ‘I swear to God I wasn’t getting involved in it. But there was a bit of a change of the guard because the dynamic of the show changed…
‘When Fred got taken out of the kitchen and Josie went in it was head to head clash. Two different cooks in one kitchen. One person said A the other said B.
‘But at the end of the day we all got fed.’
