UPDATE: Fans of ITV’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here are in a frenzy following a significant rule change implemented in the latest series. The new guideline, which prohibits the same contestant from being voted into consecutive bushtucker trials, has sparked a heated debate among viewers, with reactions pouring in just hours after the announcement on November 18, 2023.
The change, welcomed by many as a long-awaited improvement, allows for a diverse range of contestants tackling the trials, which some fans have claimed they have “waited years” to see. On the other hand, a segment of the audience expressed nostalgia for the previous format that allowed the same celebrity to face multiple trials in a row.
Social media is ablaze with mixed reactions. One fan on X (formerly Twitter), @ryanbirky1211, praised the new dynamic, stating, “They picked good celebrities this year. I love the dynamic of the group and liking the fact that it’s new people to the trials every time instead of the same person over and over again—it’s refreshing.” This sentiment was echoed by another viewer, @xxncisaddictxx, who noted, “It’s refreshing getting different people doing trials for once; thank god for that rule.”
However, not everyone is on board with the shift. Following a particularly entertaining trial where rapper Aitch battled for food for camp, some viewers have called for him to take on every trial. Fan @amygough_xx tweeted, “Petition for Aitch to do all trials; he’s absolutely hilarious. He’s the only person I know who breaks out into song while getting attacked by pigeons.” Another fan, @MN456782, chimed in, expressing, “Aitch was so entertaining during that trial; I’d love for him to do every one, but I would feel cruel voting for him to do every trial.”
The latest developments come as the show continues to draw attention and engage audiences in new ways. With the introduction of public votes leading to different contestants participating in each trial, I’m A Celebrity is reshaping its viewer experience, making it more unpredictable and exciting.
As fans continue to express their opinions online, the show’s producers are likely monitoring viewer responses closely. The impact of this rule change could influence future formats, making it a pivotal moment in the show’s history.
