Scarlett Moffatt, recently ejected from "I'm A Celebrity," has voiced her disappointment over the show's culmination in an all-male final, an outcome unprecedented in over two decades. Her elimination on Thursday evening, following a last-place finish in the 'Keep Your Eye on the Ball' trial, means no woman will contend for the jungle crown this season. Moffatt, a former "Gogglebox" star, explicitly stated her desire to represent "the girls" and lamented the missed opportunity for a female champion. The show's finale is scheduled for Friday on ITV and ITVX.
Moffatt's exit has left a void, resulting in a final lineup composed exclusively of male contestants, a scenario not seen in more than twenty years of the program. Moffatt herself reportedly expressed being "gutted" by this development, having aspired to achieve a victory for female contestants.

A Missed "Girl Power" Moment
Moffatt's departure has been framed by some media outlets as a missed chance for a "history-making" finale, particularly in the context of what is being termed a "girl power" narrative. Her participation in the trial, which sealed her exit, saw her trail behind other contestants, leading to her elimination.
The "I'm A Celebrity" final is slated to air on Friday at 9 PM. Moffatt's comments regarding her feelings about the final emerged during an ITV Showcase event in London on Thursday.
Context and Past Appearances
This elimination follows Moffatt's previous win on the show in 2016. Speculation regarding her potential participation in an "All Stars" version of the series has surfaced in recent years, with reports suggesting she was in advanced talks for such a format. Details concerning her past career, including her involvement with a controversial weight-loss DVD and the circumstances surrounding her departure from "Gogglebox," have also been revisited in various reports.

Furthermore, a report from primenews.zululion.com dated April 16, 2026, claimed that ITV intended to cut all footage of Moffatt from the series due to an "irreparable mistake." This claim, however, contrasts with the ongoing broadcast of her elimination and subsequent comments. The specific nature of this alleged mistake remains undisclosed in the provided materials.
Recent discussions also highlight Moffatt's interaction with fellow contestant David Haye during the show, particularly concerning his controversial comments about women's appearances. Moffatt has reportedly defended Haye, stating she does not believe he is sexist.
