I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! viewers were left in a frenzy after fans were left unable to vote during tonight’s episode.
The show kicked off in spectacular style for the 25th series on Sunday night as the stars faced fish guts and offal in their first trial.
Ant McPartlin, 49, and Declan Donnelly, 50, were once again at the helm of the ITV show and put the celebrities through their paces for the first challenge.
Before they even set foot in camp, Kelly Brook, 45, was tipped the favourite to win by viewers who said on X: ‘It’s early days. But I want Kelly Brook to win’.
While a squeamish Ruby Wax, 72, and AngryGinge, 24, were voted to do the first Bushtucker Trial.
Kelly, Shona McGarty, 34, Aitch, 25, Martin Kemp, 64, and comedian Eddie Kadi, 42, faced dizzying heights as they had to parachute out of helicopters and land near the star launch pad, where the presenters were waiting for them.

But after the first episode, the show was branded a fix and claimed the app wasn’t working as they tried to vote for the first Bushtucker trial of the series.
Taking to social media, one person penned: ‘I’m a celebrity is a fix. Can’t vote cos the app doesn’t work.’
‘Would be nice if they sorted this app out, it didn’t work for a lot of people and we weren’t able to vote.’
‘Is anyone having issues with the voting app? Why isn’t it letting me vote??’
‘Bro the app wasn’t even working.’
After landing with a bump on the beach, the celebrities had to battle it out for two coveted seats in the getaway car – the fastest, most direct route to camp which awards them the comfiest beds in camp and steak for dinner.
The getaway car also allowed the two stars to enter the jungle in luxury with cocktails and canapés.
Speaking of his son Roman Kemp, 32, placing third on the show back in 2019, Martin said: ‘The pressure is on me to do a bit better than that. I’d love to say I don’t wanna win, but I do…’

After wading through offal and slime to unlock the key fob, Aitch and Eddie secured the win.
Jack, 40, and AngryGinge also landed spots in the getaway car after they were the fastest to unscrew the bolts in another competition with the remaining campmates.
The road into the jungle wasn’t easy for the losers as Kelly, Martin and Shona, joined Alex Scott, 41, Ruby Wax, 72, and Lisa Riley, 49, in the grimy ‘cockie’ van.
The team were tasked with unlocking to retrieve stars for camp but in true I’m A Celeb style they faced thousands of critters.
Alex squealed: ‘They’re all down my bloody bra!’ while Kelly screamed: ‘Oh my god, they’re biting my t***!’
Kelly joked about Ruby flirting with Kiosk Kev who was driving the van, to which the comedian quipped: ‘I’ll straddle him!’.
They secured six stars but were left unimpressed when emu neck arrived.
Jack said he was ‘shocked’ when EastEnders actress Shona was the only celebrity to reluctantly volunteer to cook.
Of the meal, Ruby said: ‘It was repulsive. For six stars we should have got a burger’.
Ant and Dec then headed into camp to reveal which stars were up for the next Bushtucker Trial, named the Divey.
AngryGinge and Ruby were voted by viewers to face the terrifying challenge.
And while the launch got a good response from viewers some fans of the show were unhappy about the new introduction.
They wrote on X: ‘They changed the opening titles?!’ and ‘Not sure about the new title sequence’.
Loose Woman star Kelly is thought to be receiving a fee of £80,000 and not the estimated £300k that had been previously mooted.
The presenter made a U-turn after being persuaded by husband Jeremy Parisi to take part in the show, after previously declaring she would never do it.
Back in 2018, Kelly said there would be ‘a million’ other things she would rather do, like working in her local pub, than appear in the jungle.
‘I don’t want to eat eyeballs or sheep testicles and all the things they have to eat on there,’ she said on her Heart radio show.
‘Even if I had a huge tax bill and I had to pay it really urgently, I still wouldn’t do it.’
