Fans of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! have voiced strong disapproval of the show’s elimination process following the departures of Ashley Roberts and Sinitta.
Ashley Roberts' Elimination Sparks Controversy
Wednesday’s episode featured a sudden death challenge, ‘Keys To Success,’ where campmates competed to correctly order a set of keys against the clock. Ashley Roberts finished last, taking 11 minutes to complete the puzzle, resulting in her elimination from the competition.
Many viewers took to social media platform X to express their sadness and disappointment over Ashley’s exit, with some even declaring her their winner despite not reaching the final.
Blame Directed at Jimmy Bullard
A significant amount of criticism was directed towards Jimmy Bullard, with viewers accusing him of deliberately sabotaging the ‘Rancid Run’ Bushtucker Trial, which they believe contributed to Ashley’s elimination. His decision to shout “I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!” during the trial caused friction with Adam Thomas, who initially expressed frustration.
Supporters of Ashley argued she consistently demonstrated strength and positivity, winning stars in trials and boosting camp morale. Previous winner Scarlett Moffatt also expressed her disappointment, praising Ashley’s trial performance and camp integration.
Sinitta's Departure After Trial Quit
Sinitta was also voted out after quitting the ‘Dragged Through Hell’ trial, which involved solving mathematical problems and codes while shackled to Craig Charles. After struggling with the task, she chose to withdraw, leading to a vote for her eviction.
Sinitta, who previously appeared on the show in 2011, reflected positively on her second experience, stating she achieved her goal of finding courage and feeling rejuvenated. She described the experience as therapeutic and expressed a newfound sense of fearlessness.
Final Five Prepare for the Finale
The final five contestants – Scarlett Moffatt, Craig Charles, Harry Redknapp, Sir Mo Farah, and Adam Thomas – will compete for the title in Friday’s live final. Viewers will have the opportunity to vote for their winner.
The show continues on ITV and ITVX on Thursday at 9pm. The controversy surrounding the eliminations underscores the passionate engagement of viewers and the impact of individual actions on the competition’s outcome.
