Jamie Lynn Spears and Grace Dent both previously exited the jungle after separately quitting on medical grounds, with just six campmates now remaining.

Nick grinned as he arrived to speak to the co-hosts and admitted he was happy to be leaving because he felt like his time on the show had come to an end.
He revealed it was his family who persuaded him to go on the ITV show as he said he was pleased to have finally taken part after more than 20 years on Hollyoaks.
‘I’ve never been asked before, it was an honour to be asked… it was great, it was so much fun,’ he gushed.
Nick also addressed recent drama which saw former camp chef Fred criticise Josie’s cooking skills as he struggled to let go of control in the kitchen.
‘[Fred] gave Josie a little bit of a rough time, not in a bad way but he’s just very particular,’ Nick said of the famous cooking rows.
Nick had previously shared his apprehension about cooking for Fred after taking over from Josie as chef alongside Sam Thompson following the kitchen arguments.
Chatting to Ant and Dec, Nick finally told how he is rooting for Made In Chelsea’s Sam to win the 2023 series as he heaped praise on his campmate and co-chef.
‘[Sam] deserves it, well they all deserve it, but he does and I think he really wants to… he’s the lifeblood of that camp,’ Nick said.
Nick is the fourth campmate to have backed Sam as the 2023 King of the Jungle, as all three previously eliminated campmates also backed the TV personality for the crown.
