The 'Homes Under The Hammer' host and the retired footballer were booted out of the ITV show in a shock double elimination, leaving just four left to battle it out to be King or Queen of the Jungle.

Speaking after his exit, the television presenter, who placed sixth in the competition, said: "The people, the experience, how it affects you in ways you would have never imagined; it's just surpassed all my expectations ...

"It was always going to be a difficult thing to break into [when he came into the jungle late]. There were things I wasn't expecting and it got quite tough quite quickly. It goes back to this thing about wanting to be loved and liked by people, which comes from being badly bullied at school. And when you go into a group of people, you overcompensate and if you're just yourself then people get to [see the real you]."

Meanwhile, in his exit interview with hosts Ant and Dec, Wayne - who has 10-year-old son Jaydon from his previous relationship with Vanessa Perroncel and sons Parker, three, and Carter, 15 months, with his wife Frankie Bridge - admitted he was nervous about heading into the jungle and found it very tough being away from his children.

He shared: "I had such a good time but I was so nervous about coming in. And literally everyone in there has made it such a pleasure [to be there] ...

"Definitely at the beginning, it was [hard to be away from the kids]. I spend every day with the kids and the missus and I found it really hard. I'll probably get ripped when I get out of here for crying on television but it is what it is."

Now they are out, Martin and Wayne are both backing Scarlett Moffatt to be crowned Queen of the Jungle.
