Babatunde Aleshe leaves I'm A Celebrity as angry fans threaten boycott and demand 'vote inquiry'

I'm A Celebrity viewers were left furious by Babatunde Aleshe becoming the latest star to be kicked out of the show on Wednesday night, calling for an inquiry into the voting and threatening to 'boycott' the last few days of the series.

The eliminations from the I'm A Celebrity camp are coming thick and fast now. Loose Women host Charlene White was the first to go on Friday night and then, after a reprieve on Saturday night, Place in the Sun sta r Scarlette Douglas followed her out of the jungle on Sunday night.

Coronation Street actres s Sue Cleaver was evictee number three on Monday, before Boy George left the show after finishing bottom of the public vote on Tuesday night. The Culture Club icon took to Twitter hours after his exit to post: ""Eating pizza and watching #FIFAWorldCup replay after a lovely long shower. Thanks for all the amazing messages. The love always transcends the negativity. This b*tch still gives great headline. I have seen them all and laughed heartily!"

Heading into Wednesday night's episode, Jill Scott and Owen Warner were pretty much neck and neck in the odds to win, with some bookies going for England Lionesses hero Jill and others backing Hollyoaks actor Owen for the win.

It was down to hosts Ant and Dec to reveal the results once again on Wednesday and, after they headed into camp to join the celebs, just Babatunde Aleshe and Seann Walsh were left to await their fate, with Dec then announcing it was comedian and Celebrity Gogglebox star Babtunde who was getting his marching orders.

While Babatunde told Ant and Dec he was feeling "blessed," many viewers were angry on his behalf, as one took to Twitter to post: "Someone explain how Chris and Matt have stayed over Babatunde," and a second reacting: "Babatunde is the only likeable person in there why tf is he gone."

Declaring their intentions not to watch I'm A Celeb anymore, another fumed: "and now babatunde????? im DONE!!!" while, questioning the voting another tweeted: "Babatunde gone! The voting on this show is nuts this year. Who the f*** keeps voting for Hancock???? FFS"
