I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! has been extended tonight as ITV bosses try to cram in drama and another big name leaves Gwrych Castle.
Former Strictly Come Dancing judge Arlene Phillips was the first to leave the camp on Sunday night in a surprise eviction that saw her in the bottom two with Snoochie Shy, before hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly revealed the 78-year-old had been booted off.
In Monday’s episode, another celebrity will be facing the wrath of the public vote, and the hosts will be making their way into the castle to announce to the stunned campmates who will be leaving.
And the show will be jam-packed with drama - including the aftermath of Arlene’s eviction - as ITV bosses have extended the show by 10 minutes, and it will be on the air until 10.20pm.
Viewers were gobsmacked to learn the former Strictly judge was the first to waltz off I’m A Celebrity on Sunday night, as many were convinced Naughty Boy would be the first to go.
He’s frustrated fans with his constant complaining, and his attitude has prompted thousands to vote for him to continually take part in the grim Bushtucker Trials.
“So Arlene is the first to be voted out this year. I can't lie, I'm surprised it wasn't Naughty Boy,” one tweeted.
“Totally unexpected Arlene to be voted out first,” another added, as one fan claimed “ageism” saw Arlene voted off, rather than the music producer.
“Arlene had more life in her than many of them in there, ageism is alive and well eh and rearing its ugly head,” the disgruntled viewer wrote.
“Naughty Boy should have gone out first and Arlene should have stayed,” another fan added.
“I can only assume people voted for naughty believing they were voting him out,” one joked
“Some people seem to think the public are bullying him, making him do every trial, so they voted to save him. Personally I can't wait for him to go,” a viewer suggested.
Despite his moaning, Naughty Boy has been saved from the public vote, and has also managed to avoid doing the trial in Monday night’s episode.
Instead, ex-BBC Breakfast presenter Louise Minchin and Olympian Kadeena Cox will be taking part in the Bushtucker Trial to win meals for camp.
