Ian ‘Dicko’ Dickson is eliminated from I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Australia
Ian ‘Dicko’ Dickson has been removed from I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Australia – and reveals who he thinks will win the show
Ian ‘Dicko’ Dickson was kicked out of Wednesday night’s episode of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! Australia.
The 60-year-old was sent home after receiving the fewest votes from the public.
After hosts Julia Morris and Dr. Chris Brown had announced that Dicko would be leaving the show, he told the other cast members, “It’s okay, I loved it and it’s time to go. It’s been really special.’
He later told the hosts that he is “very grateful” for the experience and made friends for life.
“I didn’t expect the lessons I would take from this experience and I really didn’t expect to fall in love with strangers the way I did. I feel really grateful,” he said.

Dicko also revealed that he believes Liz Ellis will win the reality show.
“I have absolutely no doubt about it. If only she could present her lamp every evening,’ he said.
“She’s one of the most impressive people I’ve ever spent time with.”
Dicko’s elimination comes after he revealed on Monday he was the one who presented Guy Sebastian with his first royalty check – worth a whopping $1 million.
The former Australian Idol judge shared the story of the pop star’s early success on I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!
The eye-watering earnings came after Sebastian’s debut album hit the Australian charts in December 2003, shortly after its release.

The musician was only 21 years old at the time and had just won the first season of Idol, Dicko said, adding that his debut album, Just as I Am, was “a huge success.”
He said it was the fastest selling album of all time in Australia, even beating John Farnham’s Whispering Jack.
“We went out and took him for a bowl of pasta,” Dicko continued.
And after lunch we handed him an envelope. He said, “What is this?” We said, ‘It’s your first royalty check for all the records you’ve sold.’ And he took the check and it said, “Guy Sebastian, a million dollars.”
Dicko added: “Never done before and never done since, but it was a special moment to give him.”
