First Celebrity Eliminated from I’m A Celebrity South Africa Expresses Disappointment

Comedian Seann Walsh, 40, has left the camp during the current South Africa edition of the jungle show. His exit came early in the series.

How the decision unfolded

Former Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp, 79, made the elimination choice. He picked Walsh after losing a Bushtucker Trial eating challenge.

Walsh said he had a mix of feelings about leaving. He was glad to see his family and missed his children.

Walsh described this return as tougher than his first time in the competition. He said the tests felt harder and increased anxiety in camp.

He also praised the camp atmosphere and the people he lived with. He called many housemates notable figures in entertainment and sport.

Personal reflections

Walsh acknowledged he expected to be chosen for removal. He revealed he had already begun packing when Redknapp took the decision.

The comedian reflected that he preferred his previous fifth-place finish. He said both experiences will stay with him.

Walsh noted a personal change from the experience. He plans to spend less time on his phone.

Walsh first reached fifth place in the 2022 series. He also appeared on Strictly Come Dancing in 2018 with Katya Jones.

The current cast includes former boxer David Haye, singer Ashley Roberts, and reality star Gemma Collins. The programme airs Fridays at 9pm on ITV and on ITVX, STV, and STV Player.
