I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here viewers say they are growing 'bored' as they raise a complaint over one of the favourites to win. Owen Warner has been a popular choice among fans of the ITV reality show to be crowned King of the Jungle when the final of the 2022 series arrives on Sunday (November 27).
However, following her performance in the latest Bushtucker Trial, dubbed Critty Critty Fang Fang, Jill Scott has jumped to the top of the bookies odds and is now the 4-7 favourite to win the series. Wednesday night's installment of jungle action saw the former Lionesses take on the latest trial after putting herself forward.
The 35-year-old was transformed into the jungle's own Truly Scrumptious and had to search around for stars while hanging in the air on a flying car. Despite expressing a fear of heights, Jill scored a full house of stars for her campmates meaning they were guaranteed a hearty meal.

Elsewhere on the programme, it was time for another Deals on Wheels challenge and Matt Hancock and Mike Tindall took on the latest task in a bid to win a treat for the camp which saw them needing to solve an anagram to bag the Dingo Dollars.
The pair, both 44, found 99 red balloons strung up which they had to pop using a spike on top of their helmets, getting covered in gunge and confetti along the way. Popping the balloons earned them letters engraved onto silver coins which they had to decipher before the sand timer ran out.
While they successfully completed the challenge, their campmates, however, didn't succeed in their half of the deal and failed to answer Kev's question correctly on Adele, meaning they lost out on chocolate chip cookies.
But as well as trials and challenges, there were also plenty more chats among the remaining campmates including from Owen who spoke about the moment he landed his role on Hollyoaks. The actor, who plays Romeo Nightingale in the Channel 4 soap, was chatting with Babatunde Aleshe, before his exit, and Seann Walsh about their best and worst days at work.
Owen, 23, revealed he found out that he had been cast in Hollyoaks while making himself a 60p student meal, involving chicken in a tin, at University when he got the call. He shared how after putting the phone down to his agent, he FaceTimed his mum to tell her the good news.
But I'm A Celeb fans pointed out that even Owen's success story involved food, something he has spoken about a lot in camp as he struggled with the lack of eating while talking part in the hit show. @liamjmellor80 tweeted: "Of course Owen’s story involves food. #ImACeleb."
@__dani.x said: "Owen's story about getting Hollyoaks was mostly about food like oh my god." @lolapatty replied: "Food the only topic of conversation. Did he never watch the show in the past and know they starve in there unless they get stars. And the food is jungle food."
And some are getting 'bored' with the foodie talk. @gizmo9189 said: "Omg Owen give it a rest always talking about food boring #imaceleb." @Genuinelyasked wrote: "Am I the only one starting to get bored with Owen constantly moaning about food and being hungry. Imo they have eaten better than most years cuz really only a few trials have had few stars. #ImACeleb."
@EvieJamesTweets posted: "Unpopular opinion but I’m really sick of hearing Owen moan about food and the celebs acting like he’s the only one that has to eat. Everyone else is hungry too and you’re younger and fitter than the rest. Just stop. #ImACeleb." @PaigeForExample added: "I like Owen I really do but I'd truly sick of the I'm hungry cr*p. And last night 'are you sure there's no food left' besides talking about food, what does he actually talk about? Nothing really #imaceleb."
