We have to say we’re pretty shocked.
Yes, on Wednesday show favourite Stanley Johnson, 77, became the fifth person to be eliminated from the I’m A Celeb jungle.
And it seems that the politician’s fellow campmates were equally taken-aback when the announcement was made, with Mr Johnson himself admitting: “I am gutted to be out you have no idea.
Wow! The latest campmate to leave the jungle is the legend that is @StanleyPJohnson! And @tofftalks looks gutted… Well we'll doff our cap to you Stanley!#ImACeleb pic.twitter.com/ck6SpWbiMq

“I’m sorry,” he added. “It has been a wonderful time, couldn’t have been better.”
Upon his reemergence into the real world, Stanley said that he was “absolutely looking forward to my e-mails! Is that pathetic?”
He furthermore cheekily referenced his son, stating: “I want to know if Boris is still Foreign Secretary for example!”
And his tip to nab the jungle crown? Unsurprisingly, he said MIC‘s Georgia Toffolo – aka Toff – whom he was close to while at the camp. He then raised his champagne to the screen and declared: “I am sorry Toff. Here’s to you old girl!”
Stanley is the oldest participant to ever take part in the ITV reality show – he was up against Amir Khan in the bottom two on Wednesday’s episode.
A joy shared by the whole nation. #ImACeleb pic.twitter.com/OVVMzH09mP

He lost a considerable amount of weight since entering the jungle on November 19.
Indeed, he told Ant and Dec: “This has been the most wonderful form of gastric surgery you could ever imagine!”
