Noel Edmonds was voted out of the jungle and I'm a Celeb viewers don't understand what happened

The TV veteran was reportedly the most expensive contestant in the ITV reality show's history when he was parachuted in to join the campmates several days into the current series. His highly-anticipated entry saw him crowned emperor of the group – but his public have seen fit to overthrow him at the first opportunity, with Holly and Dec announcing his elimination during Friday night's show.

If you've had your fill of social media backlash to contentious votes, look away now, because Noel's exit has left Twitter users in total bewilderment.

Indeed, the series of trials shielded a number of contestants from elimination, meaning Noel faced just five fellow celebs – Anne Hegerty, Harry Redknapp, Emily Atack, James McVey and Rita Simons – in the public vote.
