ITV I'm A Celebrity viewers 'sick' as they make Owen Warner observation minutes into first elimination episode

Owen Warner has been earning praise from I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here viewers but just moments into the latest installment of the ITV reality show, fans were making an observation which appears to have caused a divide.

The Hollyoaks actor wasted no time in calling out a 'cheeky' Matt Hancock for asking about spare food following his return from the surf-n-turf BBQ on the beach. At the end of Thursday night's episdoe, viewers saw the former health secretary, Jill Scott, and Sue Cleaver return to camp after enjoying their luxury prize from a series of group challenges.

The trio were whisked off in a helicopter to an idyllic beach where they tucked into steak, king prawns, sausages and more at their own private barbecue. However, it was clear Owen was the most gutted to miss out as he struggles with the lack of food in camp.

Viewers also saw Matt ask if there was any spare veg, as he'd happily tuck in despite his lavish meal away from camp. Meanwhile the rest of the stars had eel for dinner after Owen, Scarlette Douglas and Babatunde Aleshe won eight stars.

Speaking in the Bush Telegraph early into Friday night's installment of the ITV reality show, Owen mentioned that Matt was asking for any remaining scraps since their eight-star meal was made. "The absolute cheek of it," he said.

"Especially after you've just been to the beach all day. To come back here and ask if there's any spare food, when I'm around. If there's any spare food I'm cleaning it up." He added: "Came back, bragging about how much food there was, talking about how full they were. Beautiful."

Owen also had a quiet word with Scarlette, with the TV presenter clearly noting Owen's annoyance and hunger. But I'm A Celeb viewers were divided over his comments.

@StewForsyth tweeted: "Is Owen talking about food again? I'm shocked! He hasn't mentioned it in at least 5 minutes. #ImACeleb." @Lake57472174 said: "We get it Owen. You want food #ImACeleb." @Sarahjayne_96 posted: "Is anyone sick of hearing Owen winge about food #ImACeleb."

@mollytpwk_ shared: "Can owen actually form a sentence without the word “food” in it?? #ImACeleb." But @CTwigger96 posted: "You know what... I 100% relate to Owen when it comes to food #ImACeleb." @languageloves typed: "None of them are getting chocolate tonight, they’re all going to be hungry tonight and i feel bad for owen. like give him food please #ImACeleb." @Random68251284 added: "Bless owen, get the man some food #ImACeleb."
