Unexpected exit

Fans of the hit reality TV show, I'm A Celebrity, have been left wondering why jockey Frankie Dettori was the first contestant to be voted off the show. Many viewers had predicted that social media personality Nella Rose would be the first to leave, but it was the quiet and unassuming Frankie who received the boot.

Quiet guy

Former Strictly Come Dancing star James Jordan expressed his sympathy for Frankie, saying, "Poor Frankie – what a genuinely lovely guy, just too quiet to get airtime." Viewers also took to social media to voice their surprise, with one person writing, "Knew it would be Frankie as he's so quiet and the public are d***s. Not sure if he was edited unfairly."

Goodbye to camp

Frankie bid farewell to his fellow contestants before leaving the camp for good. As hosts Ant and Dec revealed the result, his co-stars looked stunned. They surrounded him with hugs and chanted "it was a fix" as he made his exit.

A surreal adventure

In his exit interview with Ant and Dec, Frankie described his time on the show as "surreal" and "emotional." He mentioned how receiving a letter from loved ones made him realize that there was a world outside the jungle. Despite his disappointment at being the first one out, Frankie expressed happiness at the experience, saying, "I beat my fears of enclosed spaces and snakes all in the same task, I met some wonderful people, and it's been a fantastic experience."

Chef rivalry

Frankie settled the debate over who is the better camp chef, stating that First Dates' Fred is superior in the kitchen. He also revealed his support for Sam Thompson to win the show, describing him as "larger than life."

Final thoughts

Frankie's departure from the show has left fans speculating on the true reasons behind his early exit. While some believe his quiet nature may have worked against him, others question whether he was edited unfairly.
