The nation was SHOCKED on Friday night (30th Nov) when it was revealed that TV legend Noel Edmonds was the FIRST to be voted off I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! But apparently, no-one was more shocked than Noel himself, who has spoken out in an interview on Lorraine this morning.
He said, "I tell you what, you weren’t as astonished as I was. I was hoping to hang around for a little bit longer. I hadn’t actually got into my stride. As Harry Redknapp would say, ‘The boy was hardly on the pitch and he didn’t even get a yellow, he got straight red and he was off!’
"I was surprised, then I was disappointed, then I felt a bit down, then people have been wonderful," but added that he was grateful for the opportunity.
But the REAL doozy came in an interview with the Mirror, as Noel revealed that there's a potential TV show on the cards with none other than jungle hero Harry Redknapp, who he became quite close to in the camp.
He said, "I think it is OK to say there have been a couple of ideas put forward for a Noel and Harry show. But my boy is still in there so we will have to wait for him to come out. We did have a laugh and I think judging by what I have heard, it went down well with the viewers. The threat [of a comeback] is there. There are offers coming in, but it is early days."
