ITV I'm A Celebrity viewers confused why Sophia Hutchins described as Caitlyn Jenner's 'close friend'

I'm a Celebrity viewers spoke out about their confusion as to why Sophia Hutchins was described as 'a close friend' of Caitlyn Jenner.

Finishing in sixth place, Caitlyn was voted out of the ITV jungle  in a double elimination with Nadine Coyle.

However, viewers at the time were shocked to see no one greeted the former athlete.

In tonight's 'Coming Out' episode, a behind-the-scenes look at Caityn's exit showed fellow contestant James Haskell came to greet her on the bridge.

She was then reunited with Sophia Hutchins before facetiming her daughter Kendall Jenner.

However, many viewers noticed that the show described Sophia as Caitlyn's 'close friend' causing some confusion.

Many believed the pair were in a relationship, with some taking to Twitter.

Holly wrote: "Ummm @ITV why did you call Caitlyn’s partner Sophia her ‘close friend’??"

Another said: "Did ITV really just phrase Caitlyn Jenner’s girlfriend as her “close friend"."

And Dave commented: "Also, pretty sure that Sophia is Caitlyn's girlfriend not close friend."

However, while the pair live together in Caitlyn's home, they have denied being in a 'romantic relationship', insisting they just share a close bond.
