I’m A Celebrity’s Sam Quek becomes the ninth campmate to be voted out of the jungle
The semi-final saw Scarlett Moffatt, Sam Quek, Adam Thomas and Joel Dommett go head to head in the celebrity cyclone
SAM Quek is the latest star to be voted out of the I'm A Celebrity jungle.
The Olympian reached the semi-finals, but was voted out at the final hurdle - taking Scarlett Moffatt, Joel Dommett and Adam Thomas through to the final.
Speaking to Ant and Dec after her exit, the star said: “I’m dead shaky and emotional.
"I never expected to get this far."
Speaking of her Olympics victory earlier this year, she added: "My Olympic gold was the pinnacle, so to end 2016 like this is surreal.
"I’m humbled."
The star also admitted she was “mortified” losing a task to Adam Thomas, and eventually put more pressure on herself to get ahead.
"I wanted to win 100 per cent, all the time."
She was met on the bridge by her boyfriend Tom Mairs, and they shared a kiss in front of the cameras.
Tonight's semi-final saw the stars go head to head in the celebrity cyclone.
Joel struggled to make it to his star base and clutched his nethers as a water shoot took direct aim at his groin.
Ant and Dec were laughing along on the sidelines but were left in shock when Joel took a tumble and landed on his head.
Youching in pain for the comedian, Ant then said: "Ouch! That was a nasty one!"
Luckily Joel got back up quick and continued to make his way up the obstacle course.
Just as he grabbed his star from Adam, a tidal wave was released and the whole gang were sent hurling back towards the starting line.

However they managed to complete the task and took home all four stars.
Meanwhile on tonight's show, Joel opened up on his dating life - admitting he's on the look for love.
Speaking to Scarlett Moffatt tonight, Joel admitted he's not got anyone to buy a present for this Christmas.
In the Bush Telegraph, Joel added: “Being in here around all these people who are very happy in their relationships made me evaluate a lot of things and makes me feel a lot about what I want.”
Asked by Scarlett if there was anyone at home he said: “I started dating someone before I came out here.

"I am genuinely looking forward to seeing her again but the problem is that I immediately go away for work again. It’s just really hard because I go, ‘I really like you, see you in March. It’s hard to date a normal person who has a normal job.”
As Scarlett said her boyfriend works in an office, Joel added: “Yes but you don’t work at night, whereas I film during the day and pretty much gig every night basically I need to date someone who does nightshifts like a nurse, or Batman or strippers.
“I dated a policewoman for a while and she was lovely, it’s really fun dating a policewoman.”
An embarrassed Scarlett then quickly said: “I don’t want to know the ins and outs why that is Joel.”
To which Joel replied: “It wasn’t anything like ‘let’s use your handcuffs' because that would be the equivalent of her like asking me to tell jokes in the bedroom.”
In the Bush Telegraph, Scarlett said: “He’s not short of dates he perhaps picks the wrong girls or when he gets close to someone he gets scared and bins them off.”
Meanwhile Joel said he dates people for three months and “then I get really scared. I think I may be a commitment-phobe.”
