I’M a Celeb viewers were left confused tonight as Ian Wright was bleeped for swearing despite the show being live.
The former footballer was chosen by the public to do the next Bush Tucker Trial at the end of tonight’s show, with hosts Ant and Dec breaking the news in camp.
Moments after they left, the celebrities started to offer Ian, 56, words of encouragement but he shut them down, saying: “Don’t….I don’t want to…don’t pamper me…”
The rest of his sentence was then bleeped out, while the ‘Live’ logo continued to be shown in the bottom left corner of the screen.
Viewers immediately took to Twitter to question how it was possible to bleep the sportsman when the show was live.
One wrote: “How did they manage to sensor Ian there when it was live? #ImACeleb #ImACelebrity.”
Another tweeted: “How was that live if they censored out the profanity?”
A third: “Watching Im a celebrity and it says Live…. Ian swore and they managed to bleep it out… cant be live then.”
Meanwhile a fourth shared: “If #ImACeleb is live, how did they know Ian Wright was going to swear!? Clearly there’s a delay as they just bleeped out his swearing.”
The latest confusion with the show comes a day after producers were forced to void all app votes as the public decided which celebrity would be the first to leave.
Just before Ant and Dec headed into the camp to reveal the news, Ant told viewers: “Due to a wording error on the app, the result of tonight’s vote will be based on phone votes alone.
“If you have already voted via the app, we’re very sorry, but your vote will no count tonight.”
Moments later, Adele Roberts’ name was announced and she had to say goodbye to her new friends.
