Dedicated viewers of the ITV series also accused the latest trials as being unfair
I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here viewers have levelled accusations at one star, suggesting they deliberately lost their latest challenge.
The task in question was dubbed by fans as one of the ‘easiest’ set for any of the celebrities so far, especially considering the camp twist introduced by Ant and Dec..
In Wednesday’s episode (November 26), the presenting duo unveiled the latest jungle news.
The recent developments saw the campmates pitted against each other after a public vote determined who the audience wanted to see as rivals.
However, dedicated viewers are sceptical that all the rivalries and tasks were evenly matched, reports the Express.
The controversy arose during the fourth round of the Rivals game, which featured Ruby Wax going head to head with Tom Read Wilson.

Their task, aptly named ‘Snakey Behaviour’, involved them being placed in front of two giant boxes filled with snakes.
Ant and Dec instructed the pair that they had two minutes to reach their hands inside and feel around. Their only task was to estimate how many snakes were in there.
They then had to write down their guess with the closest winning. Ruby guessed four, whilst Tom guessed eight. Ruby correctly guessed the right amount and therefore won.
As a result, she was heading to Win City, where they would enjoy more comfortable surroundings.
However, those tuning in from home weren’t convinced by Tom’s performance. They even accused him of throwing the game, in an effort to ensure Ruby would be able to enjoy the better camp. One social media user expressed their opinion, stating: “I think Tom lost that on purpose.”
Another echoed this sentiment, saying: “I think Tom was being a gent and got that wrong on purpose.” A third chimed in with: “Tom totally failed that one deliberately cos he’s a gent.”
Meanwhile, another viewer highlighted the perceived imbalance in challenge difficulty, commenting: “Sorry but the rivals challenges were so unfair. Tom and Ruby’s was easy and then you have Shona and Alex popping and drinking fish eyes…. LIKE.”
This sentiment was shared by another who agreed: “Ruby and Tom got off light with their trial. What was that about just counting snakes?”
I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV1, STV, ITVX and STV Player.
