Roman Kemp said I’m A Celebrity’s Naughty Boy was “doing his head in” but was still shocked when he was voted off.
The Capital breakfast star also says he’d like a man to be crowned king of the castle this year as for the last two years a woman has won the throne.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain on Friday, 28-year-old Roman said: “It’s my favourite show of the year, and I think that this year, it’s weirdly turned into political commentary for Ant and Dec.
“But I’m not going to lie, Naughty Boy was doing my head in for a good few weeks. I was shocked that he went, but I think it was the right time.”

The 40-year-old music producer was the fourth celebrity contestant to be voted off the ITV series on Wednesday’s episode after 16 days in the camp.
The presenter, who came third in the 2019 series of the show, added that as a “known Arsenal fan”, one of the craziest things for him in this series was that he was supporting a former Spurs footballer to win the programme.
He said: “Being able to say that I love, and probably am in love with a Spurs legend of David Ginola is quite strange, but what a man he is.”
Roman agreed with the morning programme’s hosts that he thought it was a “one man race” for the Crown with David, adding: “I think we’ve had two queens over the last two years in I’m A Celeb.
“Of course, we had Jacqueline Jossa of my year and then we had Giovanna Fletcher last year. So I think it’s time for a king of the castle.”
After former BBC broadcaster Louise Minchin was voted off the show on Thursday’s episode, singer Frankie Bridge is the only female remaining in the Gwrych Castle.
Roman said: “I mean Frankie’s done really (well) in there. And it doesn’t feel like that sometimes when you look at it, ‘Oh it’s a male-heavy group, it’s female-heavy group’.
“I mean, Kate (Garraway), you know as soon as you start whittling down, you all just become family members anyway. You’re comfortable doing whatever around people.”
Kate also competed on I’m A Celebrity during the 19th series with Roman, the last one to be held in the Australian jungle before ongoing coronavirus travel restrictions moved the show to Wales for the past two years.
Good Morning Britain presenter Adil Ray noted how the weather conditions within the Welsh castle did look “quite miserable” and said Kate and Roman must be glad they did not have to face that.
Kate responded: “It’s not as nice as it looks, I’ve got to be honest. It’s still pretty tough.”
