I’M A Celebrity fans reacted in shock after Eddie Kadi was booted from the jungle and think they’ve figured out what got him evicted.
Comedian Eddie Kadi was voted out of the ITV reality series alongside Vogue Williams on Sunday and some fans are blaming the show bosses.
While Eddie did not seem too mad at getting the boot, even saying I’m A Celeb “literally changed my life,” viewers think he did not get enough screen time to allow people to warm up to him.
“Nah this is quite unfair now. He was lovely he didn’t get enough screen time,” moaned one fan in the comments section of the official I’m A Celeb Instagram post.
Another added: “Eddie was not given enough airtime all campmates have said it.”
And a third wrote: “Editing is why he is out others get so much more screen time.”
Eddie reflected on his time on the show with hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly.
Eddie said: “I feel like I’ve been in there for a year. It’s literally changed my life.
“Coming from Congo right – and we have a massive rainforest that I’ve never visited – I feel like I’ve had a taste of how my great grandparents and my grandparents would’ve grown up.
“It explains why they were so humble, and how they handled the bare minimum.”
He went on: “They made the best out of life and were joyful in any situation.
Eddie’s eviction comes after he opened up about his comedy career to campmates Kelly, Aitch and Ruby.
Eddie shared on I’m A Celeb that doing comedy was “never planned”, as his dad was keen for him to be a doctor or a lawyer originally.
Opening up to Ruby, Aitch and Kelly, he continued to discuss his parents’ impression of his career, adding: “My dad’s thing was just be as smart as you can, go to university…”
Ruby asked: “Where did your dad come from?” to which Eddie responded: “Congo. Looking for a better life and better opportunities to be fair.
“But it was always that idea of like, be a lawyer or an accountant, with Africans that’s like, engineer, you know?
“Make us proud and so on.”
Eddie then said: “Growing up, I used to do the paper round and my dad was too proud to call it a paper round, so he said ‘my son is a news reporter.’”
