What happened during Sinitta and Craig Carlos’ trial
Sinitta and Craig were joined in the trial by Harry Redknapp and Mo Farah and Scarlett Moffatt and Adam Thomas. Celebrities were tasked with unlocking boxes filled with criteria to retrieve a board, each containing a math puzzle that would give them the code to the next box.Sinitta struggled to find the first board, and Craig was seen sighing repeatedly as he held both. In the end, Sinitta left the trial without retrieving the first board. Ant and Dec told the campers that finishing last would put the team at risk of elimination, so Sinitta and Craig Charles told them to choose who should leave the camp. Doing what she described as the honorable thing to do, Sinitta insisted that it must be her, since she was the one who left him.
What Sinitta said was said by Craig Charles off camera

Viewers only saw Sinitta wondering if she should “call” a mostly silent Craig.After leaving the camp, Sinitta said: “I quit because someone else told me to. Even if we came last, I wouldn’t quit. I’m not a quitter. I quit because of guilt and pressure, not because I was going to be powerless.”He continued: “It was taking a lot of time, I admit. But what was in my ear was, ‘Oh Sinitta, throw it away. I’m here like a lemon.’ He gave up on me. I wish I had fought for myself at that time.’Sinitta also admitted she regretted calling “I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here” at the time.
