Somehow we’ve already reached the final week of ITV’s I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here, which means we can expect lots of emotional moments as the eliminated celebrities are reunited with their loved ones at the end of the jungle bridge, ahead of the final on 10th December. However, one celebrity who may end up walking out to an empty bridge is Marvin Humes, as wife Rochelle has explained why she is still in the UK and has not yet flown out to Australia.
In case you’re a recent I’m a Celebrity fan (hi welcome to the club) after each public vote in which the public vote to save their favourite campmate from leaving the jungle, the least popular celebrity is eliminated from the jungle. They have a quick chat with hosts Ant and Dec after leaving the camp and then head out onto the bridge back into civilisation where their loved one (often a partner or family member) is waiting for them on the other side.
However, Marvin could end up walking out to an empty bridge as wife Rochelle has explained she is still working before she heads out to greet Marvin in Australia.
Speaking on her Instagram Stories on Saturday evening, Rochelle explained she would be heading into the jungle, but due to work commitments she couldn’t fly out for the first elimination and what will be the second this evening (4th December) due to work commitments.
She asked her 2.3million followers to continue voting for Marvin so he stays in the jungle long enough for her to get to Australia and meet him on the end of the bridge.
“My predicament is that I really don’t want him to walk out onto that bridge to nobody. Because that would mean I have really failed him and I’m really trying to make everything happen but I really don’t want him on that bridge lonely,” she said.
And last night on her Instagram Stories she thanked fans for keeping Marvin in the show, before going onto explain she needed to get work done tomorrow (4th December) before she could then fly out to meet him.
“Thank you so much, I really didn’t want him to go. I need need need to get work done tomorrow and get on that flight.”
Thankfully, it wasn’t Marvin’s time to go last night, with celebrated jockey Frankie Dettori being the first one to leave the jungle following the public vote and was greeted by his wife Catherine on the bridge.
Another elimination will take place this evening when the show resumes at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX, let’s hope it isn’t Marvin’s time or else he could be walking out to an empty bridge.
I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here continues tonight at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX
