A tearful Lorraine Chase was the latest star to be evicted from the I'm A Celebrity jungle this evening.
The former Emmerdale actress was emotional as she was told after 16 days she was the latest celebrity to be evicted.
But as the 60-year-old was interviewed by Ant and Dec she said it was tears of joy she was shedding.

And the actress, who was accused of being 'too nice' by fellow camper Pat Sharp, said she hoped best friend Crissy Rock wins the show.
She said the pair grew close and shared deeply personal issues including how they were both abused as youngsters.
Lorraine said going on the ITV programme was her 60th birthday present to herself and said she had thoroughly enjoyed herself, despite having a couple of emotional moments.

She was left in floods of tears after DJ and former children’s TV presenter Pat Sharp threatened to kidnap and burn her teddy bear Tedward.
Sharp, 50, later bragged that he had made the threats in a bid to annoy viewers and thus be chosen to do a Bushtucker Trial.
She said: 'It feels good, it has tested me.'
