Viewers of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here” spotted significant gaffes in Friday’s episode.
Fans of the popular ITV show were quick to highlight a faux pas made by the editors. On various occasions, stars would show up in the Bush telegraph segments with another celebrity’s name would pop up.
Love Island star Maura Higgins appeared with Melvin Odoom’s name instead, while McFly’s Danny Jones was wrongly identified as Radio 1’s Dean McCullough.
The blunder didn’t escape the notice of Twitter users. One viewer remarked: “The editing team tonight need to be fired. they’ve mixed up campmates names several times. #imacelebrity #ImACeleb”, reports the Mirror.
Another commented: “Issues with names tonight Danny was Dean and Maura was Melvin #ImACeleb #imaceleb2024,” and one exclaimed: “What’s happening with the names today??? Danny was in the telegraph apparently it was Dean and Maura was Melvin. @imacelebrity #ImACeleb #imaceleb2024”.
Sharing snaps of the mix-up, another said: “The names are cracking me up. Dean and Melvin look different! @imacelebrity @antanddec #ImACeleb”.
In the latest episode of the hit series, viewers were on edge that Dean McCullough might accidentally disclose a major secret from within the jungle’s depths.
Earlier this week, fans saw Love Island’s Maura Higgins and The Communards’ Reverend Richard Coles whisked away to the Jungle Junkyard, ostensibly stripped of comforts – no beds in sight.
But unknown to the main camp, they were not roughing it; instead, they indulged in undercover luxury with the task of deceiving their fellow contestants.
After successfully braving the recent Bushtucker Trial, Dean joined Maura and Richard in their clandestine quarters, setting social media ablaze with viewer apprehension. One anxious fan posted: “Dean will ruin the junkyard lie and ruin it for everyone, i fear. He couldn’t keep the teabags a secret when Tulisa/Melvin had salt and no one knew until she gave it up #imaceleb.”
Another lamented online: “I’m sorry I really wanted to like Dean being a local celeb and all but the man is a disaster and a liability to the camp #ImACeleb.”
Echoing the sentiment, another added: “Dean is going to expose the whole secret mission I fear #imaceleb #imacelebrity.”
Further concern was voiced by another, who predicted: “How long then before Dean blabs to everyone when they are all in the trial area, and ruins the hard work Richard and Maura have put into this secret mission #ImACeleb.”
