Controversial Comments during The Barbaric Barbershop Trial
I’m A Celebrity is facing backlash once again as viewers criticize Fred Siriex’s remarks toward Danielle Harold during last night’s episode. The celebrities, including Marvin Humes and Frankie Dettori, participated in The Barbaric Barbershop trial, which involved facing their worst fears. However, some viewers pointed out what they considered to be sexist comments directed at Danielle.
Communication Gap Leaves Danielle Harold Struggling
During the trial, a gap formed between Danielle and the rest of the group when Josie Gibson quickly escaped the box. This made it difficult for Danielle to communicate with them, leading her to request assistance from her fellow contestants. However, some viewers were frustrated with the portrayal of Danielle as the one who struggled, suggesting that Fred Siriex unfairly assumed the girls would have a hard time.
Backlash Against Head Chef Fred’s Comments
Viewers were also unimpressed with head chef Fred’s comments to Danielle and Josie after they finished cleaning the dishes. Some viewers considered his remarks to be sexist, claiming that he said they hadn’t done a good job.
Sexism Controversy Not New for the Show
This is not the first time I’m A Celebrity has faced allegations of sexism. Previously, Nella found herself at the center of criticism for her comments about men’s roles in the camp. Viewers called her remarks discriminatory and questioned what the reaction would be if the situation were reversed.
Tonight’s Trial Preview
In tonight’s episode, the remaining celebrities will face their next trial. A sneak peek shows Tony Bellew expressing his fear of a large snake and jokingly saying he might have a heart attack.
