Fans of the hit ITV show I’m A Celebrity have taken to social media to express their concerns over a potential bullying culture within the camp. Viewers have specifically called on presenters Ant and Dec to address the issue.
Contestants Clash Over Cooking Duties
In recent weeks, tensions have risen between campmates Josie Gibson, Danielle Harold, and Fred Sirieix, particularly while Fred served as head chef. When Nella Rose became head of camp, she appointed Josie as the cook and Fred as the pot washer, further fueling the animosity.
Mocking and Bullying Allegations Surface
During the latest episode of I’m A Celebrity, viewers witnessed Josie and Danielle mocking Fred behind his back. This led to an outpouring of criticism on social media, with many accusing the duo of bullying. One fan wrote, “Is anyone else getting fed up with Josie’s petty remarks about Fred? Passive aggressive bullying at its worst.”
Ant Comes to Fred’s Defense
Host Ant addressed the issue during the show, defending Fred against the backlash. He pointed out that Josie was not paying attention to the effort Fred had put into cooking the previous night’s meal. Ant said, “Josie isn’t listening to what he’s saying because it did take a long time to cook that tail last night. Hell of a long time.”
Divided Opinions Among Viewers
While some viewers rushed to Fred’s defense, others criticized him for singling out Josie and not the male contestants. One fan commented, “Fred only having a problem with Josie cooking and not the boys… oh ok.” This sparked a debate among fans about potential misogyny and sexism.
Third Celebrity Voted Off
Fred was the third celebrity to be voted out of the jungle, following Nella Rose and Frankie Dettori.
