Many of his fans felt he was nailed on to make Sunday's final, but it wasn't to be as Declan Donnelly and Holly Willoughby revealed his time was up.
In his exit interview he told the hosts: "We're having such a hard time in the UK at the minute and there's such division in the UK, I thought if we could show in here we can get on, it might influence people back home."
There are now only five famous contenders remaining ahead of this Sunday’s final – former X Factor runner-up Fleur East, actor John Barrowman, football legend Harry Redknapp, The Vamps star James McVey and actress Emily Atack.
Viewers took to Twitter to mock Nick's inspirational message, writing: "#ImACelebrity #nickknowles stating that he hopes the show has influenced the uk re #Brexit makes his singing/guitar playing seem a little less self absorbed. Didn't think that was possible! 😉.

“There were a lot of big characters vying for position but nobody took over. The boredom was the worst thing.”
Nick follows in the footsteps of former jungle leader Noel Edmonds, 69, Hollyoaks actor Malique Thompson-Dwyer, 20, who were the first and second celebrities to leave the show.
