ITV I'm A Celebrity fans call for major change as they spot camp feud and host Ant's dig

I'm A Celebrity fans have urged a major change is made

I'm A Celebrity viewers have issued a plea for a huge change to be made to how the show is run.

Host Ant McPartlin has even intervened in a bid to stop fans nominating Dean McCullough for every trial. BBC Radio 1 host Dean has been put forward for almost every trial of the season so far - and has been a disaster. Viewers have even spotted some tension between Ant and Dean as he poked fun at the radio star's dismal efforts.

Ant has since begged viewers to stop voting for Dean to give other celebrities a chance to take part in the show. Viewers have echoed Ant's wishes as they have proposed a major change to the show. One said: "They need to change how the voting works so say if you do trial 1 you can’t be voted for trial 2 and then they can be voted again on trial 3 so we are not just seeing the same person everyday."

Another added: "I don't get it because it's not even really entertaining? Like seeing someone scream because they have to stick their arm in a barrel of fish guts is boring after 2 trials." Someone else commented: "I would try a ‘no two trials in a row’ rule for at least one year. You can always revert it if people aren't keen."

A fourth urged: "The producers need to listen. If someone does 1 trial make sure they are exempt from the next one!!" During Sunday night's spin-off show, I'm A Celeb.... Unpacked, Ant hinted he has had enough of guiding Dean star through trials. Host Joel Dommett asked: "What do you think about Dean doing the trial again tomorrow?"

Ant replied: "Well, right. Let’s all have a serious talk. I’m going to look directly into the camera here. I think it’s good to see other faces down there. This is not a personal thing. It’s not about Dean. It’s about us, just seeing different people down there. I think we want to see different people on the show doing [trials]. Some people are, unfortunately, aren't getting... I'd like to see Barry do a trial. I'd like to see Melvin down there. Or Oti."

Co-host and 2023's King of the Jungle, Sam Thompson suggested fans should vote for their own favourites to take part. Declan Donnelly added: "We need to mobilise armies of McFly fans, Corrie fans (to vote)." The group then joked that Facebook users would need to vote for Jane Moore. Ant simply asked: "Who is still voting for Dean? I don't get it."

Viewers also shared their thoughts on X where one user wrote: “There are 12 celebrities in the jungle, and you’re trying to tell me that people STILL want to see Dean do a trial… ESPECIALLY BY HIMSELF? Well, don’t blame me if he says ‘I’m a celebrity, get me out of here’ in this task tomorrow.”

Another agreed: “After all the effort and time gone into setting this up, the backstage team will be fuming if Dean says ‘I’m a celebrity, get me out of here!’” One viewer even threatened to stop watching the show as they said: “F**k sake, I’m going to have to stop watching I’m A Celebrity now! Which fools keep voting for Dean to do these trials! Let someone else have a go! P***es me off.”
