I'm A Celebrity result sparks fix claims from viewers after Jacqueline Jossa wins

Not for the first time this series, I'm A Celebrity has been hit by fix claims and this time it's all down to the final result.

The ITV show's hosts Ant & Dec have hit back at viewers on two occasions over the past few weeks after they accused bushtucker trials of being fixed; well now it's the fact that that has sparked claims from angry viewers.

It would be fair to say that Jacqueline's triumph in Sunday's live final was a bit of an upset. Going into the programme, Coronation Street actor Andrew Whyment was the red-hot favourite with the bookies, with Jacqueline second at 3/1 and third place campmate Roman Kemp at 9/1.

Experts' faith in an Andy win was echoed on social media, with many people backing the Corrie star. So the fact that he didn't end up winning didn't go down too well.

Giiven the wealth of online support for Andy, some infuriated reviewers smell a rat.

One ranted "can we please see the vote count because I refuse to believe that this isn’t a fix ANDY IS A NATIONAL TREASURE," and in agreement, another tweeted "I watched ever series of I'm a celebrity this was the biggest fix yet."

Another viewer firmly on Team Andy, reacted "It’s clear who should have won this. Andy has no baggage with him, a genuinely nice guy and throughly deserved to win this show. It’s a clearly a fix because there couldn’t have been that many people voting for her, the same people who voted for her trials. Not buying it."

However, there are also a lot of people happy for Jacqueline and are calling out her critics for not letting her enjoy her victory. One wrote " Everyone can say it’s a fix when they don’t get the result they wanted to see. It just makes me sick that people just can’t be happy for others."

And, echoing those sentiments, someone else posted "people saying it’s a fix, sorry to break it to you but twitter does not represent the whole nation. well deserved from @jacquelineMjos there."
