Fans of I’m A Celebrity are speculating about the real reason why Frankie Dettori was the first contestant to be eliminated from the jungle. Prior to the vote-off, many expected Nella Rose to be the first to leave. However, it was champion jockey Frankie who got the boot, just a week after entering as a late arrival with Tony Bellew.
Fans Claim Frankie Didn’t Get Enough Airtime
Former Strictly Come Dancing star James Jordan suggested that Frankie was too quiet to get enough airtime on the show. Fans took to social media to express their surprise and disappointment at Frankie’s early departure, with some arguing that he may have been unfairly edited. Despite the speculation, Frankie graciously said goodbye to his fellow co-stars and called the experience “surreal” and “emotional”.
Frankie Reflects on His Time in the Jungle
In his exit interview with Ant and Dec, Frankie opened up about his time in the jungle. He spoke about the challenges of being outside his comfort zone and the physical toll it took on him. Despite being disappointed about leaving, he expressed his gratitude for the experience and the opportunity to conquer his fears. Frankie also settled the debate about the camp chef, revealing that First Dates’ Fred is the better cook. He also revealed that he wants “larger than life” Sam Thompson to win the show.
Overall, Frankie’s early exit from I’m A Celebrity has left fans wondering what could have been, but the jockey has remained positive and grateful for the experience.
