Dani Behr gets the boot off jungle

Dani Behr became the second celebrity to be ejected from I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

The TV presenter, 34, left the ITV show after receiving the fewest number of public votes.

Behr was hugged by her fellow celebrities on receiving the news from presenters Ant and Dec.

In her post-eviction interview she tipped actor Joe Swash or pop singer Simon Webbe to win the show. "Joe is a contender," she said. "Simon too - he's a nice, quiet guy."

Behr criticised flamboyant ex-TV presenter Timmy Mallett, whose frequent loud screeches have been a source of irritation in camp. "It's funny every now and again," she said, "But hearing it all day was not fun for everyone."

Only 10 contestants now remain. One celebrity will be evicted every night until the final show on December 5.

Swash remains odds-on favourite with bookmakers to win the show, followed by ex-Star Trek actor George Takei, TV presenter Esther Rantzen and former tennis star Martina Navratilova. Takei and ex-police chief Brian Paddick braved attacks from hungry ostriches in the day's Bushtucker trial, winning eight stars.

The pair, both of whom were taking part in their first trial, were nominated by their fellow contestants to face the challenge, entitled Pluck and Roll. They were given eight minutes to move the stars along a tubular maze set up across three ostrich enclosures, having been smeared with ostrich food.

After fighting off the birds, who were furiously pecking at the seeds and molasses stuck on their clothes, Takei and Paddick managed to shift four of the six stars into the end zone, earning eight meals for the 11 celebrities.

Meanwhile, model Carly Zucker's camp misery continued as she tearfully admitted to the others that she was considering walking out on the show.
