Comedian Eddie Kadi has become the second contestant to be eliminated from the 2025 series of I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!
Kadi departed the jungle following a vote by viewers, two days after ex-footballer Alex Scott became the first star to exit.
Speaking to Ant and Dec after leaving the camp, Kadi said that he was feeling “happy and sad at the same time”.
“What a great time,” he continued. “I’ve made amazing friends, I’ve faced some fears, and to be fair it still feels surreal to be on such an iconic show.”
“I feel like I’ve been in there a year,” Kadi said. “It’s literally changed my life. Coming from Congo, where we have a massive rainforest, I feel like I’ve had a taste of what my grandparents experienced, and I realise now why they were so humble. They were joyful regardless of any situation.”
“Even when you’ve got no food, it goes to show that we are enough as human people.”
