Earlier, actor Michael Sheen was murdered in the first action of Friday’s episode. “I am incredibly disappointed,” he said. “Gutted that I got so close to the end. It’s been absolutely unforgettable.”
When the action reached the endgame, Little Mix singer Leigh-Anne Pinnock was swiftly banished after Kenny voted to remove her.
“I was thinking me and him had a mutual understanding, and now I feel so stupid,” she raged.
Meanwhile, James B was left rueing one final mistake in a long but noble catalogue of misjudgements throughout the series.
The singer, who looked aghast when he was attacked by Romesh during the endgame, was then the only one to choose to banish again when it came to the final three.
James was unaware that Romesh and Bash had both chosen to end the game – meaning he could have been a winner if he had done the same – but became the victim of his own choice to banish.
“I’ve loved trying to work it out, I’ve loved getting it wrong so often, I’ve loved the tiny moments when I’ve got it right,” he said wistfully. “I’ve loved the game.”
