The reality star had not even entered the main camp after joining the show as a late contestant along with Ferne McCann and Vicky Pattison on Wednesday's show.

He was banished to Snake Rock after McCann opted to take Pattison with her to the main camp following her Bush Tucker Trial, Dicing with Danger.

Speaking to the Daily Mirror before entering the show he said: "I would love to win, but that's not why I'm here. I'd like to become a bit more vulnerable. I want to be challenged, physically and mentally. I enjoy putting myself through strenuous experiences – whether it be sporting experiences or giving myself goals.

"I'd like to be a finalist. I’d like to be there for the duration. That's my main aim. The popularity contest as such isn't why I’m here, but I'd like to see it through. I'd like to be one of the last people standing."

Fellow reality TV star Gemma Collins also walked out after just three days in the jungle camp on last year's series.

More details are expected to be given on the ITV show tonight.

I'm A Celebrity is on ITV at 9pm.
