Frankie Dettori would have struggled to spend another week on 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!'
Frankie Dettori was the first celebrity voted out of the jungle
The 52-year-old jockey - who has Leo, Ella, Mia, Tallula, and Rocco with wife Catherine - had been taking part in the ITV1 jungle reality show in Australia but was the first voted out by the public on Sunday's (03.12.23) episode and hinted upon his exit that his co-stars like 'This Morning' host Josie Gibson or politician Nigel Farage are far more likely to reach the final than he ever would have been.
Speaking on ITV's 'Good Morning Britain', he said: "It was a bittersweet moment. I obviously wanted to get to the final but because there's like Sam [Thompson], [Nigel] Farage Tony [Bellew], Josie [Gibson] and Marvin [Humes], I was never going to win it. So the thought of spending one more week there maybe was going to be a bit hard for me so it was bittersweet. The sweet part is that I got to see my wife and now I'm waiting for my other campmates to come out and greet them when they come out."
The sports star then spoke in favour of politician Nigel Farage as he noted that while he never got to talk politics with the former Brexit Party leader,
He said: "I met Nigel before I went into the jungle, he's a character larger than life. He's very interesting, he's very knowledgable and he's actually a good lad. I never spoke to him about politics because I'm not interested , I don't know that world. But when it comes to one-on-one as a person, he' was always good fun."
However, Frankie went on to add that he believes that 'Made in Chelsea' star Sam Thompson will become win the series and become King of the jungle.
He said: "I would say my bet would be Sam. he brings a lot to the table, he;s entertaining, he's silly, he sings and I think people will like all that."
