I’m A Celeb’s Adele Roberts happy to leave jungle despite fans’ voting app anger
Adele Roberts says she is not angry to leave I’m A Celebrity despite furious fans’ claims a voting blunder doomed her.
Viewers were urged to vote up to five times on the show’s app – but they were left unsure if they were voting to save or kick out contestants.
Bosses apologised for the “wording error” and announced that it meant that only phone votes would count.
Adele, the first to leave, said: “Maybe it counted against me but I kinda feel whatever will be will be.
“I have made peace with that and all I wanted to do was make sure I stayed for the 14 days and I said last night if I got to stay it was a bonus.

“I am happy with what I achieved, I feel like I have graduated from jungle university. I could have gone anyway if the app had been working.”
But fans blasted yesterday’s “shambles”, with one tweeting: “There is no way Adele would have gone if the app was correct. There should have been another vote.”
After her eviction, smiling Adele, 40, was greeted with a kiss by actress partner Kate Holderness, 35, and told of her “brilliant” time in the jungle.
“I feel like I’m stronger than I realised and there’s so many things I can do,” she said. “Spiders won’t bother me now.”

She said Caitlyn Jenner thought she was a JAILBIRD at first. “We went round and asked for first impressions on each other and Caitlyn said she thought I was a prisoner because my jumpsuit was orange when I went in.
“I was like, ‘Thanks a lot’ but it showed people don’t always have pre-conceived ideas about me.”
Adele told how former EastEnders actor Cliff Parisi – who has been exempt from recent trials – was struggling to stay awake.
“Cliff has got his own struggles. He is putting in work, it is just that he likes to sleep a lot as well.
“I used to play, like, Where’s Wally? and see where Cliff was sleeping. He does this thing where you are chatting and you think you are pouring your heart out and you look at him and he is falling asleep. You are like, ‘Am I boring you, Cliff?’.”
Radio 1’s early breakfast show host also admitted the show had helped her to move on from Big Brother – where she was shown as argumentative – and confirmed she would like a new job with better hours.
“I am really shy, people don’t realise cos it goes against my job. I would just like to start being social again.
“I felt really happy those people in the camp made me not think about the outside world and enjoy the sunrise and enjoy the sunset, sharing your food and doing the washing up.
“I had this intense experience with 11 other people who are inspirational so I feel I have learned something.”
