Seann Walsh became the first campmate to be eliminated from I'm a Celebrity South Africa 2026 after Harry Redknapp had the tough decision of sending one celebrity home.

Asked how it felt to be first celebrity leaving camp, Seann said: "It's a combination of emotions. I was thrilled to be able to see my family because I missed my kids a lot. At the same time, I'm sad they won’t see me in the jungle for longer or doing more trials."

As for returning to the jungle, Seann found it to be "harder and scarier" than his original stint.

"It felt like it was turned up to 11, so that just put more anxiety into the camp," he explained. "The pleasure for me doing the jungle was the extraordinary people you get to live with.

"I don’t think I’ll ever forget that. It felt strange for me being in their presence, because they are almost historic figures in entertainment and sport. That doesn’t go over the top of my head."
