Kilroy leaves I’m a Celebrity

Slight surprise as bickering duo fight on

Robert Kilroy-Silk was the first person voted off I’m a Celebrity last night after coming in the bottom two of the vote with former policeman Brian Paddick.

The outcome shows the success of I’m a Celebrity’s voting system whereby you vote for who you want to save rather than who should go, which means that controversial contestants like David Van Day and Nicola McLean survived while less entertaining ones like Paddick struggle.

In the winners market, Esther Rantzen’s price with Betfair has halved to 5.4 over the last 24 hours after she won an endurance task in a coffin but Joe Swash remains the clear favourite.

I’m a Celebrity: The Women

Three WAGs, a lesbian and Esther Rantzen

There have only ever been two female winners of I’m a Celebrity but these five women will be battling it out to change that and earn the right to proudly declare themselves the new Kerry Katona:

Carly Zucker
The personal trainer’s main claim to fame is being Joe Cole’s fiancée and while providing eye-candy keeps you in the jungle for a while, no glamour model or WAG has ever won. Zucker is this year’s youngest contestant and is just a year older than Kerry Katona was when she became the first-ever female winner.

Dani Behr
As well as dating Ryan Giggs and Les Ferdinand, TV presenter Behr used to go out with Jason Brown, who finished third in last year’s show. She won’t find it too difficult to adapt to the Australian climate because she currently lives in Sydney, where series five winner Carol Thatcher also spent four years of her life.

Esther Rantzen
In three of the last four series the top woman has been over the age of fifty: Janet Street-Porter (fourth, series four), Carol Thatcher (first, series five) and Janice Dickinson (second, series seven) while in series three Jennie Bond came second behind Kerry Katona. Last year’s oldest woman, Lynne Franks, came ninth but Rantzen should be nowhere near as annoying as her.
