Former That’s Life presenter, Esther Rantzen has become the fifth person to be voted off I’m A Celebrity.
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.”
In the I’m A Celebrity jungle camp, Esther Rantzen has revealed that she was a virgin until the age of 23. Brian Paddick said: “I didn’t have sex with anyone until 21.”
Esther replied: “I didn’t have sex with anyone until I was 23.”
“And she hasn’t stopped since,” quipped Dani.

It wasn’t all laughing and joking though on I’m A Celebrity for Esther Rantzen, as the girls started talking about their partners, which led Esther to think about her late husband. Nicola McLean described her partner saying:
“Tommy’s the most wonderful person I’ve ever met in my life and he’s my best friend. We laugh together, we have a lot of fun.”
Carly agreed: “Isn’t it mad. When you can laugh at someone. We can sit on a long plane journey and we’re cracking up and he says the most stupid things he would never say in front of other people.”
Nicola asked what star sign Joe [Cole] was – he is a Scorpio – and Esther said: “I am a Cancer.”
“A home maker,” pointed out Nicola.
“I never was’ said Esther. ‘I was doing my career. I didn’t marry until I was 37,” and she started to sob as she thought about her late husband.
She later explained tearfully in the Bush Telegraph. “Listening to the girls. They were talking about the laughter and companionship and things and I had a partnership like theirs. I had somebody. I miss him obviously. My late husband was a warm, generous, loving person with a fantastic sense of humour and it would be so good to come back from here and we would have laughed together about the whole experience about little things that happen. When you’ve got a companion like this it’s whatever life throws at you, you share.”
Spending time with WAGS Carly Zucker and Nicola McLean is clearly having an effect on I’m a Celebrity contestany Esther Rantzen.
Nicola asked her: “Do you think you’re ready for me to set you up with a toy boy? You can become a WAG. You can join our group. I take things to extreme. But you do have to come to football and listen to them singing lewd songs. Can one do that? So we’re going to set you up with a footballer then. At least you now they’ve got great bodies. They might sleep with your best friend though or something because they’re known for that. Mine doesn’t. I can hold my hand on my heart and say that mine doesn’t.”
Former That’s Life presenter, Esther Rantzen has revealed that she thinks appearing on this year’s I’m A celebrity may spell the end of her career….now don’t shout “what career?” all at once!
Esther said:
"I have to face the worst, the result might be abject humiliation, the end of a career.
"I might be provoking a terrible response from those near and dear to me, who will never again be able to look me in the eyes because they’ll so want to say: ‘I told you so’."
