I'm a Celeb fans claim Shane Richie knew about newcomers after suspicious comment

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! fans have accused campmate Shane Richie of already knowing about the new arrivals before they were even announced.

ITV show hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly made their way into Gwrych Castle to tell the celebrities about the next BushTucker trial, Stage Fright.

Dec said: "We have news."

"We're going to Australia!" quipped Shane.

But when Ant and Dec announced that everyone would be taking part in the trial, they were surprised to see the stars jumping for joy.

As they made their way out of camp, the campmates huddled together celebrating the news that none of them would have to face the tough task by themselves.

Which was when Shane was heard suddenly shouting: "R and R... stage fright... R and R."

The camera then quickly cut to Dec, where he told viewers: "They took that better than I thought.

"We'll let you into a secret. None of them are doing the trial."

Instead, classical singer Russell Watson and Westend performer Ruthie Henshall would be taking part in the trial as their first act in camp.

Viewers rushed to Twitter to speculate that the actor already knew that the new celebrities would be joining them after his "R&R" comment.

Among them was former Love Island contestant Amy Hart who claims: "They all did the photoshoot on the same day and Shane goes ‘R&R’, they already know."

One said: "Love how Shane let it slip they already know about the 2 new campmates 'R&R! R&R!'"

Another wrote: " @antanddec how come Shane knew that Ruthie and Russell were going to be coming in? He said 'stage fright! It’s R&R' ...BUSTED!!!"

"R&R Shane said and then Ruthie and Russell get announced that they don’t know about yet. How’d he know that then x" commented a third.

However, it's unlikely that Shane knew about the late arrivals as the campmates are put into isolation weeks before the show starts.
