MOODY James Haskell will be booted out of the I’m A Celebrity jungle in tonight’s public vote, bookies have predicted.
The 34-year-old former rugby pro’s chances on the hit show collapsed after a furious rant last night where he blasted his campmates’ “stupidity”.

However, viewers may not be able to vote for him as he currently holds immunity – though that could all change on tonight’s show.
James last night declared he was “too intelligent and switched on” to debate the Dingo Dollar Challenge question – insisting it should be answered with a show of hands instead.
Before the rant, comedian Andrew Maxwell was the bookies’ favourite to be eliminated next, but James now tops the charts just ahead of him.
His chances of being given the boot are now widely set at 2/1, with Andrew and EastEnders star Cliff Parisi close behind him, at 5/4 and 3/1, according to odds setters.

Ian Wright is considered the fourth most likely star to be sent packing in just a few hours’ time – but trails by some distance at 14/1.
Least likely to go are likeable pair Andrew Whyment and Roman Kemp, with each of them considered such long shots their odds are set at 100-1.
James infuriated viewers for his reaction to his campmates last night, with one calling him a “bully and a control freak”.
The star kicked off after dithering broke out in camp over the answer to a simple A or B question in last night’s Dingo Dollar Challenge.

He sulked: “It irritates the p*** out of me because it’s that simple. Explain the question, answer the question A or B.
“It’s a circus of stupidity. I can’t do it, I’m too intelligent and too switched on. Just put your hands right up, let someone count them, right, the majority win, shut up and let’s move on.
“I’m not going to kill my brain cells doing that. It’s like someone is sticking a screwdriver in my eye.”
He then mistakenly added that he was going to “sit back and watch everything umplode”.
The rant even earned criticism from I’m A Celebrity spin-off host Emily Atack, who said on Extra Camp that it had made her “angry”.
