Sophie Anderton is the latest contestant to be voted off the ITV1 show "I'm a Celebrity ... Get me Out of Here."

The model became the fifth person to be evicted from the Australian celebrity jungle camp on Friday night.

The 27-year-old beauty exclaimed, "I'm so happy I get to see my boyfriend" as she left her fellow celebrity campers.

Interviewed by presenters Ant and Dec about her 15 days in the jungle, Anderton admitted that she had initially struggled to cope on the show because she had tried to shut off her emotions.

"As I got to know people a lot better and thanks to Nat and our big argument ... I didn't realise I was being so unemotional. I was trying to be so perfect," she said.

"Once I relaxed, the last week has been really good fun."

The troubled model was dubbed a prima donna by former All Saint Natalie Appleton during an argument in the camp, whilst Three Degrees singer Sheila Ferguson accused her of being "spoilt".

"I was spoilt when I came in here, but I lasted 15 days so obviously I did something right," responded Anderton, when told of Ferguson's comments after her eviction.

Former royal butler, Paul Burrell, comedian Joe Pasquale, journalist Janet Street-Porter and club-owner Fran Cosgrave are the only celebrities to remain in the competition.

Anderton said she hoped Burrell would be crowned king of the jungle because it "means so much to him".

"It has renewed his belief in people," she said.
