A TENSE Toyah Willcox faced a nail-biting time in the jungle last night as she narrowly avoided being the third contestant to be voted out of the jungle.

But viewers decided they could take no more of Catalina Guirado's pouting and removed her instead.

It was the first time Toyah, who lives in Pershore, had been one of the two told they had polled the least number of votes.

Earlier she had made a plea to viewers in the Bush Telegraph to keep her in the show. "I'm a fiery b***** and I haven't had the chance to show that side of me," she said.

The celebrities were also asked who they thought should leave.

Toyah, 44, chose footballer John Fashanu. But two of the other contestants picked her.

Chef Anthony Worrall Thompson said she wanted to go because she was missing her musician husband, Robert Fripp.

Cricketer Phil Tufnell chose her initially, saying he could not think of a reason why, then changed his mind and plumped for Catalina.

After leaving the jungle, Catalina denied rumours of romance between her and ex-Corrie star Chris Bisson.

Tufnell is still the bookies' favourite to be crowned king of the jungle, at 4-7, but William Hill reported a flurry of bets on Toyah to win. Bets of up to £100 reduced her odds to 12-1.
