I'm A Celebrity fans convinced Andy Whyment's Corrie character Kirk is in jungle

I'm A Celebrity viewers are struggling to get past the fact that Coronation Street's Kirk Sutherland actor Andy Whyment is in the jungle.

Viewers think Kirk and Andy are actually the same person, with him not seeming any different to his hilarious character.

Given that Andy doesn't put a voice on for his alter-ego, they sound exactly the same.

Every time Andy appears on screen and talks to campmates, viewers can't get over it with it as though Corrie's Kirk is on the show.

Taking to Twitter , viewers were in hysterics as they admitted they were loving every minute of it.

One fan said: "Anyone else physically unable to refer to Andy as anything other than Kirk?"

Another tweeted: "I can’t call Andy, Andy. It’s f**king Kirk."

A third agreed: "I think Andy will win. He is still basically Kirk..but in a jungle."

This was echoed by a fourth fan who said: "As if kirk from coronation street had just called CAITLYN JENNER a b*****d. I am crying."

The tweets kept coming, with another reading: "Kirk will always be known as Kirk. Love Kirk. Kirk to win."

It comes after Andy learned that Caitlyn Jenner smuggled food into the jungle from the recent meal.

She gave Ian Wright some corn on the cob and chicken, but didn't offer any to Andy and campmate Cliff Parisi who also missed out on the roast like Ian.

The stars were punished though, with a meal deducted from dinner that evening.

Andy, finally learning of the smuggling, hit out at his co-stars for not sharing.

I'm A Celebrity airs nightly at 9pm on ITV.
