Esther follows Timmy out of jungle

5:21pm Monday 1st December 2008

Madcap comedian Timmy Mallett and TV presenter Esther Rantzen became the fourth and fifth contestants to be booted off I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!

Mallett was forced out of the show after losing a cocktail drinking contest against former police chief Brian Paddick.

The bizarre blends included cockroaches, meal worms, and "penis coladas" made of crocodile and camel members.

Mallett, who claims to be vegetarian, went out with a whimper, saying: "Bother, whoops, shame, I'm disappointed."

The children's TV presenter has caused friction in the camp and many of the contestants were glad to see the back of his behaviour, singing and tinny laugh.

Rantzen was a more popular member of the team. The 68-year-old even enjoyed a flirtatious relationship with ex-EastEnder Joe Swash, who is 42 years her junior. But she lost out in the public vote.

After leaving the camp, she said: "I'm feeling very sorry to leave because they are such lovely people and the whole environment is so gorgeous. But I think it's the right moment."

She said the experience was more physically challenging than she expected and much dirtier.

"It made you very vulnerable emotionally because you were cut off from all the distractions of everyday life. "I found my emotions very raw," she said.

She said "little Joe" was "very loveable".
