Gemma's gone!I’m A Celebrity fans were left gutted that Gemma Collins left the show last night (Monday, April 20), with some branding her exit a “fix”.

Gemma Collins leaves I’m A Celebrity
Last night saw the GC leave the South African brush alongside David, in a major twist that saw the celebrities decide who to save.
Having won a trial earlier that day, Ashley Roberts was granted immunity. The Pussycat Dolls star, 44, was told to pick one star to save. She opted to save Scarlett Moffatt. Scarlett saved Mo Farah, who saved Harry Redknapp, who saved Jimmy Bullard.
Jimmy chose to save Gemma, who saved Craig Charles, who saved Adam Thomas, who opted to keep Beverley Callard in. Beverley had the deciding vote, saving Sinitta over David Haye.
However, David learned that he wasn’t the only star leaving last night, and would have to choose someone to exit the programme with him.
It was at this moment that the boxer chose to end Gemma’s time in the jungle.

“Sorry…David would never have chosen Gemma. He’d have left her in to suffer. So it’s a fix…V disappointed ITV have resorted to this,” one viewer fumed.
“That was constructed to allow Gemma to leave,” another wrote. “Total fix,” a third fumed.
Others seemed to think that Gemma sent a secret sign that she wanted to leave.
“Did Gemma signal to David that she wanted to leave?” one fan asked.
