“By leaving the camp, I had consequently broken the Covid ‘bubble’ and as such I’ve had to leave the castle and all the wonderful celebs that remain in the camp.”
The TV presenter said he was “gutted to be leaving so soon” but that the “safety of all the campmates is the number one priority”.
“I’m incredibly excited to watch their journey continue… even more so at the prospect of being somewhere a little warmer than Gwrych Castle,” he added. “Thank you to everyone who supported me on my brief but unforgettable adventure – I’ve made some great friends and honestly had the time of my life.”
