Following his elimination from the ‘I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!’, Chris Moyles expressed that he is "devastated" at not being the favourite to succeed David Walliams on the Britain's Got Talent judging panel.

The 48-year-old radio host was eliminated from ‘I'm A Celebrity..Get Me Out of Here!’ on Thursday night's programme, becoming the sixth campmate to do so this season. During an appearance on Lorraine on Friday morning, the celebrity discussed his departure from the programme while calling in from his hotel in Australia.

Moyles jokes on this: "I'm really devastated," not to leave the jungle. "I thought I was in the running to replace David Walliams on Britain's Got Talent, and now you're telling me it's someone else". “Gutting news. Lorraine, I'm available". To which Lorraine replied telling him to wait by the phone because he might get a call. Lorraine stated: "You could be the one. You just never know”.



Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, who run the show, said that Chris and the comedian Seann Walsh got the least votes from the public in the show I’m a celebrity! After Chris left, he claimed: "I just said this morning in the Bush Telegraph, 'I've got this now, I'd really want to remain”, "I'm sad Matt Hancock is more well-liked than me! ”
