Viewers Express Disappointment Over Surprise Visits
Fans of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! have voiced their dissatisfaction with a new twist in this year's series, deeming it "pointless". The format shake-up occurred just 48 hours before the final, leaving viewers unimpressed.
Confusion and Criticism
In Friday night's episode, the remaining five campmates were surprised with visits from their family and friends. Josie Gibson, Marvin Humes, Sam Thompson, Nigel Farage, and Tony Bellew were overwhelmed with emotion as their loved ones appeared in the jungle. However, fans were left scratching their heads and criticized show bosses for not making the campmates wait.
Let Them Wait
Expressing their discontent on social media, one viewer wrote, "Huh?!? WTF?!? I'm not happy with 'em bringing their family/loved ones in to see 'em all! There's only a few nights left, let 'em bloody wait/suffer a tad longer!" Another added, "It's only been 3 weeks and they go home on Sunday ffs!"
Away from Family
Some viewers questioned the need for the campmates to see their families when they are leaving in a few days. One viewer said, "Don't get me wrong, I am happy for them but I thought part of the hardship of the show was being away from family?"
Heartwarming Reunions
Despite the criticism, the surprise visits resulted in heartwarming moments. Marvin was surprised by his wife Rochelle, who flew to Australia just days ago. Nigel Farage got to spend some time with his daughter Isabelle, while Sam caught up with his best friend Pete Wick. Tony was moved to tears upon seeing his wife Rachael.
Overall, the new twist in I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! has received mixed reviews from fans. While some found the surprise visits unnecessary, others appreciated the emotional reunions.
