Lauren out of the jungle - Nov 27 2006
Lauren Booth has become the fourth contestant to be booted off I’m A Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!.

The sister-in-law of Prime Minister Tony Blair lost in the public vote after being told by presenters Ant and Dec that it could be her or Malandra Burrows for the chop.

The journalist, who managed 15 days in the jungle, shouted "Yes" as the decision was announced.

In her post-eviction interview last night, the 39-year-old mother-of-two, who listed spiders as her phobia, told the presenters how the lack of food made the situation "tough".

She said: "Jungle life, the cooking outdoors, the being together was all as I expected, but the being half-starved, that made it tough."

The half sister of Cherie Blair and daughter to actor, Tony Booth, paid tribute to Jan Leeming.

She said the former newsreader was "amazing" but admitted she had lost her temper with her.

She added: "I have got so much respect for her."

Asked who she tipped to win, she plumped for either Jason Donovan or Myleene Klass.

Myleene was hailed "Wonder Woman" after she brought a full complement of nine stars back to camp in her first Bushtucker Trial - Tomb of Torment.

Standing trapped in a vertical coffin plunged in darkness, the challenge was to stay confined for nine minutes as the coffin slowly filled with water and eels.

Lauren said: "She is a little pocket of energy and everything good in a small package - she is Wonder Woman!"
