Jungle loses Sleep

Dancer Wayne Sleep is the latest celebrity to be evicted from the ITV1 show I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!

On hearing the news, he told the three remaining contestants he was "fine" before preparing to leave the jungle after 14 days.

After his exit, he told presenters Ant and Dec he had enjoyed his time, but had found it hard to find laughs after friends such as Danniella Westbrook left the camp.

Designer Linda Barker, cricketer Phil Tufnell and ex-footballer John Fashanu will compete in Monday's grand final.

Sleep, who famously danced with Princess Diana at the Royal Opera House, said he had had enough of the jungle after the first couple of days.

"When Danniella left I lost my soulmate and people bonded and I didn't feel part of it.

"But to have suddenly got to the weekend I thought, `This is incredible'."

He complained there were cliques among the group and bad manners.

And the gay dancer added: "I was fed up with being called `girl' every day."

On Saturday, chef Antony Worrall Thompson became the fifth person to be evicted.

The Granada show, which is in its second year, is a big hit among viewers, attracting more than 9.5 million on Wednesday.

But Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell is not among the programme's fans and predicted a reality television "revolt".
