The actor was seen on last night's episode complaining that it was not right for the contestants to be asked to receive a minor shock as part of the latest task.


And although it appeared that the Coronation Street actor had been persuaded to change his mind while cameras were rolling, it has now been confirmed that he has decided to walk out.
'Nigel Havers has called time of his jungle adventure and walked out of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' a statement on the show's website read.
TV review: Nigel Havers throws a strop and Gillian McKeith faints....again
Havers, who known for his roles on The Charmer and Dangerfield, as well as a recent stint as a gentleman escort in Corrie, had said last night that he would quit if he was forced into the camp's jail and made to wear a prison-style black and white striped outfit.


'I'm not up for it, I don’t do electric shocks so I’m leaving. I cannot waste another second of my life. I will probably do something drastic like probably go.

'If you are gaining something, that’s a fantastic thing. But if you’re not gaining something...'
The eccentric actor was adamant that such tasks were not suitable for a man who was almost 60.
Havers had previously hit out at former MP Lembit Opik, calling him 'dull' and lashing out at him for sharpening a knife

Her 'fainting' and poor performance in Bushtucker Trials have angered her starving I'm A Celebrity campmates.
But today, Gillian McKeith turned on one of her few allies, Stacey Solomon and left her in tears after the X Factor singer suggested the nutritionist should quit the jungle due to her many phobias.
The Es*** single mum, 21, was shocked by Gillian's defensive replies when she tried to suggest her health was more important than her salary from the show.





Clash: Gillian McKeith hit back when Stacey Solomon suggested she should leave I'm A Celebrity due to her many phobias


Speaking to 'incarcerated' Gillian through the bars of the jungle gym, she said: 'You are on telly and you are fainting, you’re fainting in front of your children, no amount of money is worth that.
'If you’re so afraid and have so many phobias and are ill over it, you should go. There’s nothing keeping you here. You said it’s unbearable.'
McKeith insisted she would be 'stupid' to leave after putting up with 8-10 days already.

'No amount of money is worth that': Stacey suggested Gillian's so-called health problems in the jungle weren't worth her salary

The 51-year-old said: 'I have a television career and if I walk out on my contract I will not work in television again. That’s the way it works.'
This Morning presenter Alison Hammond disagreed: 'That’s not true Gillian, after what you’ve been through you’ll work for the rest of your life, I’m telling you now.'

When Stacey said: 'Gillian, ever since you’ve been here you’ve said that you don’t want to face your fears...'
Gillian hit back: 'You’re the classic person who doesn’t understand what a fear is versus a phobia. You don’t understand phobia, it’s like taking a person who can’t swim and throwing them in 10 feet of water and saying “off you go, see if you can swim".'

'Just go back over there': Gillian told Stacey she had no understanding of phobias

However, Stacey stood her ground, replying: 'No, because that’s a chance of death. Honestly Gill, if your phobia is that intense and that bad and you’re having to get up and deal with it everyday. It’s hard for us to hear it as well.'
Gillian retorted: 'Then don’t listen... just go back over there,' prompting a visibly upset Stacey to walk away.
Discussing the argument with Linford Christie, Stacey said: 'It’s my fault, I shouldn’t say anything, it’s none of my business, I don’t understand.'
But the Olympian stuck by her: 'No you have a right, she’s not sick. You’re an honest person so you told her, don’t let it upset you.'

Shoulder to cry on: Linford Christie comforted Stacey, telling her Gillian 'is not sick'

Later on, the two women made peace when Gilliam lamented about how hard she was having it.
However, Stacey didn't let her off too easily, pointing out everyone in camp was going through the same hardships.
Gillian attempted to explain herself: 'You kept talking and talking and I thought "oh my God, I can’t listen to this anymore I’m too…" I haven’t slept all night.'
But Stacey replied: 'We’re all not sleeping, all eating the same, we’re all going to these Trial things. We’re all doing it... We’re all going through the same experience. I can’t fully understand everyday having a Trial, it must be the worst.'


Hug and make-up: Gillian later took Stacey away from camp so they could make peace

After the row, Gillian managed to overcome her fears to achieve five stars in her seventh Bushtucker Trial - Fisherman's Fiend.
She pre-empted fellow trial participant Dom Joly: 'I’m hopeless. I feel like I’m going to let you down.'
He gave his campmates his strategy before going to the trial: 'I’m going to be totally kind until she does the usual wussy stuff and then I’m like what are you doing on this show.'

Fisherman's Fiend: Gillian and Dom entered a giant lobsterpot as it was lowered into the water, with each compartment containing six boxes of stars - mixed with various aquatic creatures

When asked by Britt Ekland what he'll do if she faints again, Dom joked: 'If she does I’ll kick her.'
The Fisherman's Fiend trial saw Dom and Gillian in separate sections of a giant lobsterpot lowered into the water, with each compartment containing six boxes of stars - mixed with various aquatic creatures.

During the trial, Ant and Dec were left silent as Dom ended up providing the reassurance Gillian needed.

Calm down: Dom questioned why Gillian was screaming


A personal record: Gillian had to put her head under water to collect a star from an underwater box - the first time she claimed she had ever done so

He made her look foolish at the beginning of the task when she started screaming at the sight of a box, saying: 'Why are you screaming. It's a box.'
Gillian then informed him she was also water-phobic, adding it to her long list of phobias, she couldn't swim and have never put her head under water in her life.
After managing to conquer one her many fears and going underwater, Gillian collected five stars and was soon followed by Dom, who got all six, meaning 11 meals for camp.

Relaxed: Dom successfully picked up all six stars - later revealing he didn't find it too difficult because he was an avid scuba diver

Returning triumphant to camp, Dom relayed Gillian's progress to the contestants: 'There was a huge lobster cage and it was going down and suddenly she went mental. She was screaming and I was like what are you doing.
'And then she calmed down and got one and then I said all you need is one more and she got another one and she got in the zone and got five.'
Gillian then got to miss out on the latest Kangaroo Court challenge, which saw campmates fighting for immunity for the first show elimination.

Now who's phobic: Stacey couldn't bring herself to put her hand in a jar of creepy crawlies during the Kangaroo Court challenge and watched Jenny Eclair in amazement

After each celebrity was told they would have to put their hand to the bottom of a jar of creepie crawlies, pull out a tiger worm and then feed it through a hole onto the scales, Stacey and Dom ended up refusing.
Both admitted being scared of spiders and couldn't bring themselves to touch the huge spiders in the jars, so were thrown in the jail alongside Gillian, Shaun Ryder, Sheryl Gascoyne and Lembit Opik.

Comfy: Dom remarked the beds in jail were better than the ones in camp

But after a week at camp, it wasn't only Gillian getting on everyone's nerves - comedienne Jenny Eclair found she needed some time out from camp after getting frustrated with Kayla Collins' trying to tell her what to do while cooking dinner.

The end of the show saw Stacey and Aggro Santos finding out they would be taking part in the task - which will be screened on Thursday instead of Wednesday because of the UEFA Champions League football match.
Gillian, Britt Ekland and Alison were excluded on medical grounds.
