Wine expert Jilly Goolden has become the second contestant to be voted off I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here

Jilly looked relaxed as she was told the bad news late last night and said "I'm ready for it. I want to go."

The personality faced the boot with former EastEnders actor Sid Owen after the two stars were told either one could be evicted after the public votes had been counted.

Jilly told her fellow contestants: "I will remember all your messages," then joked "How will you manage without me?"

On Sunday, Tommy Cannon became the first star to be voted out of the latest series of the ITV reality show.

Goolden left the show's remaining nine celebrities, including Margaret Thatcher's daughter Carol, singer Jenny Frost and entertainer Jimmy Osmond, to chat with the show's presenters Ant and Dec.

Speaking about her fellow contestants she told the Geordie duo as she sipped a glass of champagne: "There is more charisma there than you could possibly shake a stick at.

"It wasn't hard at all but I don't think I blossomed in those circumstances. Wonderful people, absolutely marvellous every one of them, but I've never seen so many in a confined space before."

Commenting on the Bushtucker trial she completed with Thatcher, Goolden said: "We were an excellent team and Carol is up for anything, I couldn't think of a better person to do it with.

"Had I been on my own, although I ate all my things quite willingly with her, I'm not sure I would have been able to go any further than that."

The presenters asked her about her "friction" with antiques expert David Dickinson but she said it was "completely over now".

Bookmakers William Hill make comic Bobby Ball favourite to be the next celebrity to be evicted tonight, with odds of 11/8. Next is actress Kimberley Davies 2/1 and third Dickinson 4/1.

Former Emmerdale star Sheree Murphy is 7/4 favourite to win the show followed by Owen on 2/1 and Thatcher in third with odds of 7/2.
