I’m A Celebrity’s Scarlett Moffatt says she’s ‘gutted’ it is an all-male ultimate after she is eradicated: ‘I needed to do it for the women!’

Scarlett Moffatt admitted she was devastated to leave I’m A Celebrity, leaving an all-male final. 

The Gogglebox star was eliminated on Thursday night’s show, after coming last in the trial, Keep Your Eye on the Ball. 

Scarlett, 35, said she was ‘gutted’ to bow out at the last minute, leaving Mo Farah, 43, Harry Redknapp, 79, Adam Thomas, 37, and Craig Charles, 61, in the running to be crowned Legend by the public. 

She said: ‘I’m gutted that it’s four blokes left. I wanted to do it for the girls! I’ll let them enjoy their football chat around the table.’ 

The trial saw the celebrities have to sit in individual compartments as three different-coloured balls traveled through clear pipes. They had to track the count for each colour while facing various unwelcome distractions.

Scarlett broke down in tears as Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly revealed she was furthest from the correct total which meant she had to leave immediately. 

The television personality, who won the 2016 series, compared her journey in South Africa to her first stint. 

She said: ‘Last time I felt like a bit of an imposter. I was only twenty-five, I didn’t really know where my place was or who I was as a person. I enjoyed it, but a lot of the time I felt overwhelmed. 

‘Whereas this time around, I know who I am so I just enjoyed it and went in there less intimidated. 

‘The campfire chats are what I’m going to miss the most. You have so much time in there, with no distractions, all you do is chat and reflect. Sir Mo Farah is such an amazing soul. I couldn’t get over how forgiving he was, how kind he was. I think he’s made me a better person.’

Of why is was better this time around, Scarlett said: ‘Everyone was eccentrically wonderful and so different. Because we’d all done it before, there was some sense of calm. We weren’t constantly on edge, because we knew our way around camp life.’

Scarlett said she wanted Mo to be crowned Legend in the live final, set to air on Friday night. 

‘Even if I’d got into the final, I’d have said to people, “If you were thinking of voting for me, you should vote for Mo.” 

‘Nobody deserves it as much as him. I really do hope he wins.’

Meanwhile, hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly have confirmed that the whole I’m A Celebrity cast will in fact be at the live final on Friday night after a drama-filled series.

The show was filmed in South Africa last September but has been airing on UTV for past few weeks – and things will come to a conclusion with the winner crowned on Friday.

It comes after the David Haye and Adam Thomas bullying row and questions over whether Jimmy Bullard would even attend after he also clashed with Adam before his dramatic departure from the show earlier this week.

Speaking at the ITV Showcase event in London on Thursday night Ant and Dec gave an update on the final.

Dec said during a Q&A: ‘We’ve got the live final tomorrow night, that is going to be interesting, we’re getting them all back together, apparently they are all coming…

‘They are all coming, we are not in the Whatsapp group, but we will see how it goes…’.

On Tuesday, it was reported that the final had been thrown into chaos as Jimmy faced losing 20 per cent of his show fee if he refused to appear at the final.

It was thought that the former footballer, 47, would not show up following his explosive argument with Adam.

The pair locked horns during a Bushtucker Trial during filming in South Africa last year when Jimmy refused to do a trial and put Adam’s place on the show at risk since they were partnered up for the task. 

Adam did end up remaining however, while Jimmy left after their blazing row.

The I’m A Celebrity final airs on Friday on ITV and ITVX at 7.30pm.
