As the results of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! rolled in last night, the nation shed a collective tear as Coronation Street legend Andy Whyment only came second.
Andy, aka Kirk from Corrie, was voted runner-up for this year’s series, with Jacqueline Jossa taking the jungle crown.
The 38-year-old from Salford has played Kirk Sutherland in the soap since 2000, and he managed to win the nation’s hearts on I’m a Celeb.
Andy was initially hot favourite to win, but the results of the 11 million votes cast left fans heartbroken in the end.
And people took to social media to let the world know about the injustice served up by the voting public:
Andy is a longtime superfan of the ITV reality show, and said actually appearing on it was a ‘surreal’ experience for him.
Ever gracious, the actor was thrilled for series winner Jacqueline, saying she ‘completely deserved’ to take the crown.
Don’t ever change Andy…
