Stephen Baldwin has quit “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!,” Access Hollywood has confirmed.

Baldwin had been a strong contender in the Costa Rican jungle and many — including recent evictee Janice Dickinson — considered him a frontrunner to win the competition, which ends next week.

Details about Baldwin’s departure for the jungle — the fourth castmate to quit, and the eighth castmate to leave camp overall — were not immediately available.

Last week, the Associated Press reported that the actor’s home in Rockland County, N.Y. — a 1.4 acre property — had been foreclosed upon and was set to be publicly auctioned.

Filings revealed that Baldwin and his wife, Kennya, defaulted on over $800,000 in payments to their mortgage holders.

It was unclear if the foreclosure was related to the star’s jungle departure.
