Over a million viewers turned off I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here 2014 after Jimmy Bullard was evicted.
Over 8 million viewers had watched the show on Monday evening with an average audience of 8.4 million tuning in to see Jimmy’s shock exit.
But that was down to 7.2 million just 24 hours later as another celeb got the boot.
“It was a demonstration of viewer power,” a source said today.
They told the Daily Star newspaper: “Jimmy feels he was made out to be the bad guy. He’ll be delighted that viewers have made their feelings known.”
Jimmy had been a favourite to win the series and one SERIOUSLY unlucky punter lost a huge £10,000 gamble after backing the footie star to win.
But viewers seemed to turn on Jimmy after so-called ‘Bantergate’, although he has since blamed unfair editing on how the clips were perceived.
“It was edited to make me look bad. If people had been allowed to see the real me, I would still be in there. It was a stitch-up,” Jimmy claimed following his exit.
“I’ve seen some clips and have seen how different it has been shown,” he explained. “I’ve seen that Jake clip back. It was totally tongue-in-cheek, but the way it came across on TV was totally not how it came across in camp.”
With Jimmy gone, Jake is now the favourite to win but Melanie could also be in with a shot.
