Michelle Bridges is the latest celebrity eliminated from I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
The fitness guru admitted she was disappointed to be booted out so close to the final after a closely contested public vote on Sunday night.
‘I won’t lie, I’m disappointed. “I really would have liked to stay a little longer,” said the 53-year-old.
“I was really picking up the pace there and I loved the experience; it’s been great.”
She continued: ‘I came in for a lot of different reasons. One of them was just because who gets the chance to come to the African jungle and, you know, act like a complete idiot for a couple of weeks, have fun and meet new people?
