I'm A Celebrity's Ant and Dec 'clear' Charlene White of rule break accusations as viewers complain

Ant and Dec have effectively 'cleared' Charlene White of any rule breaking on I'm A Celebrity, but their explanation hasn't been enough to satisfy someone fed up viewers.

Earlier this week, there was a bit of a shock when disgraced former Health Secretary Matt Hancock landed in the top two alongside Mike Tindall, as fans had their say on who wanted to be camp leader. After being informed of the news, they each had to choose a deputy, with Matt going for Loose Women host Charlene and Mike picking Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver.

The two pairs battled it out in a challenge to decide who would be jungle top dog and, in the end victory went the way of Matt and Charlene. One of the biggest perks of their victory was getting to sleep in the RV, rather than on a camp bed or hammock. However, having just spent one night sharing the RV with Matt, Charlene has since refused to sleep in there.

Her decision has had repercussions for her fellow I'm A Celebrity campmates as her bed is no longer free, meaning one has been subjected to sleeping in the hammock every night. As Charlene's co-stars and viewers became increasingly aggrieved by Charlene's behaviour, Ant and Dec quipped that they would be 'reporting' her to producer s.

On Thursday's I'm A Celebrity, viewers saw Mike air his frustrations about the situation, as Charlene volunteered to do a stint in the hammock and, it looks like Ant and Dec were true to their word and did have a word with their bosses over what's being on, as the hosts had a fresh update for fans right after credits rolled.

A fan tweeted the presenters to ask: "in the past campmates have been penalised if they didn’t obey the rules, so why has Charlene been allowed to not stay in the RV?!" And they replied: "The rules said that only the leader and deputy are allowed to stay in the RV, it didn’t state they HAD to."

The lads' tweet got a big response from other Twitter users, with one, unhappy with their explanation, replying: "I'm sorry but this whole RV thing is getting beyond a joke. She is stopping someone who should be in her place simple guidelines or law it needs to be addressed or you will lose viewers and credibility."

A second reacted: "Hmmm… I think that’s just an excuse being made on her behalf. Campmates have always suffered when they haven’t done what they’ve been told, makes it way more interesting and fun to watch."
