I’m A Celebrity fans accuse Joe Swash of ‘fixing’ exit after breaking down in tears over his kids
I’M A Celebrity fans have accused Joe Swash of ‘fixing’ his exit after breaking down in tears over his kids.
The former EastEnders star, 41, became the latest celebrity to be booted off the show on Tuesday night.
Both him and Phil Tufnell took part in the ‘Temple of Doom’ trial that saw them both locked in tombs.
Following the result, Phil returned to camp while Joe was immediately evicted.
He told Ant and Dec: “I think I’m over it, I think I’m too old for this game.”
He added: “It was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be, but do you know what, I’ve got so much more at home to think about so that plays on your mind.”
However, viewers are convinced Joe lost on purpose so that he could be eliminated and see his family.
One said: “Joe lost on purpose…yes I said it.”
A second wrote: “That’s one way to go home early #ImACeleb.”
“Joe go home to your kids lol,” said a third.
While a fourth said: “Joe deliberately losing that trial to see his family is so sweet.”
Fans’ comments come after Joe broke down in tears over missing Stacey Solomon and their kids.
Joe, who was looking pale, told the jungle camera: “It’s just overwhelming innit.
“The whole thing’s overwhelming, the hunger, the tiredness, being away from your family.
“I’m obviously stressing out about the kids not seeing them, missing them, so I think they are getting into my sleep a bit now.”
He added: “It just brings it all to the surface,” before letting out a big sigh.”
I’m A Celebrity continues on ITV1 and ITVX.
