Two have been voted out.

Following on from Charlene White’s departure, Scarlette was up against comedian Babatúndé Aléshé in the bottom two but ultimately the decision was made for the presenter to leave the jungle.

Getting teary eyed as her name was announced, she was met by her brother Stuart at the end of the bridge who greeted her with a huge hug.

Speaking to Ant and Dec about leaving the jungle, Scarlette said that she was “absolutely gutted” to be voted out and hoped that Babatúndé would win the show.

“I was a bit of a screamer! What you don’t know what was in there but then I thought ‘this is the first trial, you need to get a grip,” she said.

Fans of the show were devastated that she was voted out, and many online noticed that the first two to exit the show were people of colour.

Many noted that not only had two people of colour been voted off first, but they were two black women and have now slammed the public for their voting habits.

One person wrote: “Do not love that the two Black women were the first to be voted out of #ImACeleb.”

Another said: “Another black woman out… I wonder if people are still gonna say race isn’t playing a part here #imaceleb.”

A third noted: “Why is it always the black celebs out first? Saying this people will say I’m playing the race card but this is clearly an issue wtf #ImaCeleb.”

While a fourth penned: “The #ImACeleb popularity contest kicks out the 2 black women first.”
