I'm A Celebrity viewers make same comment about soap stars Simon and Adam

Simon Gregson and Adam Woodyatt gave viewers what they wanted as the show returned on Tuesday night.

The Steve McDonald and Ian Beale actors were finally asked about their soap lives while sat around in camp at Gwrych Castle.

Coronation Street's Simon admitted that he had originally planned to race cars or fly planes when he was younger but joined the soap around age 14 and has remained part of the ITV soap for 32 years.

But he did admit fame had been challenging to deal with.

"It was difficult for a while to adjust," he told his fellow campmates. "This isn’t what I planned for myself and I do not like it. I hated it. The fame side of it I hated it. I still don’t (like it)."

Adam, who is on a break from BBC soap EastEnders, explained his reasons for leaving the show after appearing as the iconic character for 36 years.

"I just had another opportunity," he said. "This play came up. I just fancied doing something different.

"The way the storyline is, they needed me to take a break. Yeah… the break’s just got longer."

He then joked that he was 'available' from April.

Earlier in the episode, the pair, who are still the show's Lords after entering camp late last week, were seen cutting up wood for the fire.

And let's just say things got a little windy for Simon - completely with a slightly disapproving look from Adam.

But it left I'm A Celeb viewers making the same comment about the pair.

@kaggy_h said: "Like an old married couple."

"Why are Adam and Simon just immediately the old married couple of the camp #ImACeleb," @Jess5_11 laughed.

@agentoftrauma added: "Simon and Adam really are an old married couple #ImACeleb."

And that's not all they were saying.

"They should have their own show!!" @careyanne1968 shared.

@evanmow commented: "Anyone else think that Simon & Adam should work together?....like a middle aged Ant & Dec."

But @illona.rosaa noted: "It's like watching a freaky crossover with these two, exactly like their characters."
