I'm A Celebrity South Africa's Sinitta sensationally claims Craig Charles TOLD HER to quit in scenes you weren't shown
Sinitta says she 'instantly' regretted quitting the trialI’m A Celebrity South Africa‘s Sinitta has sensationally claimed Craig Charles told her to quit the show in scenes viewers didn’t see.
The 80s pop star blamed Craig after fans saw her calling “I’m a celebrity get me out of here” during last night’s episode.
Sinitta and Craig were working as a pair in the latest trial, with Harry Redknapp and Mo Farrah, and Scarlett Moffatt and Adam Thomas making up the other two duos.
They were all tasked with unlocking boxes filled with critters to retrieve a slate. Each slate had a maths puzzle on it that would give them the code for the next box.
Sinitta, however, struggled to find the first slate.
In a seriously frustrating watch, Craig was seen repeatedly sighing as she held them both up.
Eventually, Sinitta admitted defeat and quit the trial without even retrieving the first slate.
However, she has now claimed Craig is the one who told her to do it – even though this was not shown to viewers at home.

I’m A Celebrity: Sinitta claims Craig Charles told her to quit
Speaking after she had left the camp, Sinitta has claimed that Craig was telling her to quit the trial.
Viewers at home were not shown this. They only saw Sinitta asking a mostly-silent Craig if she should “call it”.
Sinitta says she regretted shouting “I’m a celebrity get me out of here” instantly.
“I quit because somebody else was telling me to do it,” Sinitta said. “Even if we came last, I wouldn’t have quit.
“I’m not a quitter. I quit out of guilt and pressure, not because I’d run out of steam.
“It was taking me a long time, I admit. But what I had in my ear was, ‘Oh Sinitta, just throw it. I’m standing here like a lemon’.
“To me, he [Craig] gave up. I wish I’d fought for myself at the time.”
Ant and Dec had told the campmates that the team that came last in the trial would risk elimination. It transpired that the slowest two would have to choose one of them to leave camp instantly.
As a result, Sinitta and Craig were told to pick who should leave out of them both. Doing the honourable thing, Sinitta insisted it should be her, as she had quit the trial.
Sinitta’s exit came shortly after Ashley Roberts was eliminated from I’m A Celebrity following another trial. You can remind yourself of all the celebrities who have already left the show here.
