I'm A Celebrity viewers 'not having it' as Vernon Kay lands third place

I'm A Celebrity viewers say they're 'not having it' after Vernon Kay was voted into third place.

The Bolton TV star was in the final three of the ITV reality series alongside Giovanna Fletcher and Jordan North.

Vernon, 46, has been a firm favourite throughout his time in camp in north Wales - even becoming the surprise heartthrob for viewers.

And he's taken part in his fair share of trials too, tackling the first stomach-turing eating challenge of the series and was a machine when it came to the Celebrity Cyclone.

But the I'm A Celeb 2020 crown wasn't Vernon's to take, and hosts Ant and Dec announced the news he had come in third place.

As he left the camp in Wales, Vernon told Giovanna and Jordan: "You have been awesome," before adding: "We have had the best time, haven't we?"

Viewers have had their say on social media and not everyone is happy.

"Vernon robbed #ImACelebrity," one simply said.

Another screamed: "#ImACelebrity VERNON THIRD???? NAH WTF NOT HAVING THAT."

"Am sorry the U.K. public do not know how to vote!!!! #ImACelebrity," fumed a third.

"RIGGED THIS SHOW IS RIGGED #ImACelebrity," a fourth angrily added.
