I’m A Celebrity’s Jane Moore gleefully arrives back at the hotel before being warmly greeted by her campmates’ loved ones after being the FIRST star to be booted from the jungle

Jane Moore made a gleeful arrival back to the hotel in Australia after being the first star to be booted from the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! jungle on Friday.

The Loose Women panelist, 63, was in great spirits as she hopped out of the car before being given a warm welcome by the loved ones of her fellow campmates in the hotel’s foyer. 

Jane, who was greeted by her own daughters on the bridge earlier, was seen being embraced by what looked to be Tulisa’s pal Michelle and Melvin Odoom’s sister Yonah as she made her way inside.

Jane Moore made a gleeful arrival back to the hotel in Australia after being the first star to be booted from the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! jungle on Friday

The Loose Women panelist, 63, was in great spirits as she hopped out of the car before being given a warm welcome by the loved ones of her fellow campmates in the hotel’s foyer

The journalist had been living in the Australian jungle for two weeks and despite having the support from her fellow Loose Women panelists, was unable to win the public’s vote.

Jane has been embroiled in a row over ‘ageism’ and ‘sexism’ in the jungle after she was tasked with the chore of doing the camp’s washing up and accused former boxing champion, Barry McGuigan, and the McFly frontman, Danny Jones, of being ageist and sexist for giving her the role because she was an older woman.

Upon her exit she told hosts Ant and Dec: ‘I had three jobs before then, I worked like a dog and then they gave me the washing up so I wasn’t pleased about that. I did a lot down there but hard work doesn’t pay off as I’m the first one out, people don’t notice hard work’.

In a warning to the remaining campmates, she said: ‘The more people get voted off, it will get apparent who isn’t doing that much. 

‘I would like to see the quiet hard workers win, there’s a lot of showmen in there. I want Coleen [Rooney] or Melvin [Odoom] to win, they’re not flamboyant.’

Speaking about her time in the jungle she said: ‘I have lived it and it’s just such a weird and magical experience. People always say it’s the best experience of your life, wouldn’t say that with the rain. Never been so soaked in my life, constantly’. 

‘At least there’s no more washing up, I’m never washing up again. I enjoyed getting to know the other and ask them questions. We’ve all got each other’s back. Them getting to know me was great too, because I’m a journalist they were initially like, “hang on what’s this going to be like?”‘.

‘A lot of them said they talked about things with me they haven’t for years and they felt better for it’.

Ms Moore was greeted off the I’m A Celebrity bridge by her daughters Ellie, 32, and Grace, 22, whom she shares with her ex-husband of 22 years, Gary Farrow. 

She later told Sam Thompson on spin-off show Unpacked: ‘I’m not going to sugar coat it I’m really disappointed to be first out because I hoped that people would see how hard I worked and how integral I was to the camp’.

‘I would have liked to have been second or third, I knew I wasn’t going to make it the whole way. But I can’t say that anyone deserved to be out before me. My camp bestie was Danny’

Jane continued: ‘we discussed at one point that maybe we were all getting on too well because viewers like it when there’s drama, but we couldn’t do it.

‘I think you need to ask Melvin if Dean was pulling his weight. There are the show people in the camp, that are providing the entertainment, maybe people that are providing good TV. There are hard workers that allow them to be flamboyant.’

Elsewhere, Ruth Lansford revealed she is ‘gutted’ for her Loose Women co-star Jane after she was eliminated from the show.

Ruth, 64, flew down to Australia to take part in spin-off show I’m A Celebrity: Unpacked and by coincidence, her colleague was the first one sent packing.

Speaking to host Joel Dommett, she said: ‘I’m gutted for Jane, I’m so gutted because she’s always wanted to do the show. She loves challenges and this would have been the greatest challenge. 

‘But people saw the caring side of her when she just draws people out.’

On Jane’s apparent dig at Dean McCullough who she seemingly called ‘flamboyant’ and got all the airtime, Ruth said: ‘I suppose everybody thinks they’re not getting enough screen time in a reality show. 

‘I’m sure she won’t have any hard feelings but she makes a great point that there are people quietly getting on with it and without them it would fall apart.’
