Fans of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! are up in arms once again as they accuse the show’s producers of ‘rigging’ a Bushtucker Trial to save contestant Nella Rose. The trial, called The Barbaric Barbershop, took place in last night’s episode with five stars participating. The celebrities had to face their fears by placing their head in a box filled with creepy critters chosen by the public. However, viewers were quick to notice that spiders, a known fear of Nella’s, were not included as an option, leading to claims that producers deliberately rigged the trial to protect her.
Fix Claims Spread on Social Media
Many disgruntled viewers took to social media to vent their frustrations and accuse the show of being fixed. They claimed that the producers purposely removed spiders from the options to ensure that Nella wouldn’t have to face her fear and potentially quit the show. One Twitter user wrote, “No way did the producers take spiders out so people don’t vote Nella for it haha they are really trying to help her do well now it’s actually nice.” Another user added, “Another fix on #imaceleb #imacelebritygetmeoutofhere #imacelebrity YOU CANT VOTE spiders for Nella. It’s cockroach, rats, snakes, SNAKES again, or toads.”
Josie Quits the Trial
In a dramatic turn of events, Josie, a presenter on This Morning, quit the trial after panicking and shouting expletives. She revealed her fear of spiders and hoped that participating in the trial would help her overcome it. However, the ordeal proved too much for her. Ant and Dec spoke to her after the trial, and she expressed her disappointment in not being able to conquer her fear.
Nella’s Controversial Journey
Nella has been at the center of attention since the beginning of the show. She has faced multiple trials and clashes with fellow contestants. Her feud with First Dates star Fred Siriex reignited in last night’s episode when she expressed frustration over his criticism of her and Josie’s dishwashing skills. Nella’s journey in the jungle has been eventful, and some fans feared that she had left the show following the departures of Jamie Lynn Spears and Grace Dent.
ITV has been contacted for comment regarding the fix allegations.
