The first-ever winner of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, Tony Blackburn, has expressed his dissatisfaction with the show’s current format. Blackburn, who was crowned king of the jungle in 2002, recently stated that he can “barely watch” the show anymore due to the revolting eating trials.
Blackburn calls for a change in the show’s content
During a recent episode of I’m A Celebrity, Blackburn tuned in but quickly had to skip through most of it due to the eating trials. The radio veteran voiced his opinion on X, formerly known as Twitter, saying, “I wish they wouldn’t do them as they are revolting and we’ve seen them so many times.” Blackburn expressed his desire to see more meaningful interactions between the celebrities, finding it much more entertaining.
Animal rights concerns surrounding the show
I’m A Celebrity has faced criticism from animal rights charities like PETA for subjecting animals to stress and trauma during the eating trials. The show has often featured contestants consuming a range of unappetizing dishes, including creepy crawlies, camel penis, and cow anus.
