The jungle has spoken, and fans of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! They share a unanimous sentiment following the show’s first elimination on Friday night (29 November). Loose Women panellist Jane Moore became the first contestant to leave the camp after receiving the fewest votes, alongside BBC Radio 1 presenter Dean McCullough in the bottom two.
While Moore’s departure sparked cheers and critiques online, many viewers appeared united in believing that McCullough should have been the one to go.
“Should have been Dean,” one viewer tweeted, while another added, “Dean next, but I’m so glad Jane has gone first.” A wave of posts echoed the same refrain: “Dean, next!” This collective sentiment among the fans creates a palpable anticipation for the next elimination.
The debate stirred by Jane’s exit continues to echo in the fan community, keeping the audience engaged in the show’s narrative.
Reacting to her elimination, Moore didn’t mince words, saying: “Hard work does not get rewarded. Let’s put it that way.” She doubled down in her post-eviction interview, urging viewers to “stand up for the hard workers.”
However, Moore’s stint in the jungle was far from universally celebrated. Her clash with former boxing champion Barry McGuigan over camp chores drew criticism, especially after she quipped about being relegated to the washing up, calling it “much like the 1950s.” While Moore later insisted it was all in jest, some fans weren’t convinced.
Fans Call for Dean’s Departure
McCullough’s stay in the jungle has also been contentious. Accused of shirking chores and stirring up tension in camp, the presenter has found himself on the receiving end of fans’ frustration.
“I can’t believe Dean is still in there!” one fan exclaimed, while another wrote: “Wrong person left first. Should have been Dean and then Jane.”
Jane’s Picks for Jungle Royalty
Moore supported Coleen Rooney and Melvin Odoom in her exit interview, citing their hardworking and understated nature. “I want the quiet hard workers to win,” she said, adding that the camp has “a lot of showmen.”
As the competition heats up, the question remains: will Dean McCullough survive another elimination, or will the viewers’ growing chorus of discontent finally be heard? This uncertainty adds to the intrigue and keeps the audience eagerly awaiting the next episode.
With the jungle dynamics shifting daily, one thing is sure—this year’s I’m a Celebrity promises more drama, surprises, and fan-fueled debates.
