I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here viewers have threatened to 'never watch the show again' if they don't get their chosen winner. Fans have spent the last few weeks tuning in to a brand new version of the hit ITV reality show, fronted by Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly.
I'm A Celebrity... South Africa was pre-recorded in September last year in the new setting of Kruger National Park in the South African bush. The three-week series has seen a number of memorable campmates from the show's two-decade history return for another stint in camp.
However, unlike the normal series, they're not vying to be crowned King or Queen of the Jungle but instead, the first-ever I'm A Celebrity 'Legend'. With no public vote, the famous faces have faced elimination challenges to decide who will be made the winner.

During the penultimate episode of the series on Thursday night (May 11), viewers saw Paul Burrell and Carol Vorderman being given the boot from camp by hosts Ant and Dec after being the slowest to complete the day's trial. It meant that the pair narrowly missed out on a place in the final, with Phill Tuffnell, Myleene Klass, Jordan Banjo and Fatima Whitbread remaining in the competition for the last show on Friday night (May 12).
It was then teased at the end of the penultimate episodes that the campmates will decide who is next to leave before being left with the final three. After a difficult discussion over a "terrible thing to do", a decision was soon to be made. But despite their ongoing reasoning, the show was left on a cliffhanger.
The final episode will then see the top three face a trial that relies on them being able to count to six minutes, while enduring being covered in critters. They must each sit in a contraption that has their feet in boxes, their hands in hell holes and their heads in helmets.
Around their feet are biting green ants, on their hands are cockroaches and crickets and in the helmets, multiple snakes of varying sizes are added. The three celebrities must hit their buzzer when they think six minutes have passed. The two celebrities closest to six minutes go through to the final, the third celebrity will be sent home. Then the final two celebrities will take on the one last trial that separates them and legend status - an eating trial.
Taking to social media, some I'm A Celeb fans are demanding Diversity star Jordan is crowned winner of the new series. @CarlyLil tweeted: "If Jordan banjo doesn’t win @imacelebrity South Africa I will never watch it again! He’s the only one left in there now who deserves it. #ImACeleb."
@InBFenby said: "Want Jordan to win now @ToffTalks is out of the running #ImACeleb." @ruth_clark commented: "#ImACelebI'd love to see Jordan win, he's such a nice positive person." @the_pizzaqueen_ added: "I think Jordan should win purely for facing his snake fear time and time again #ImACeleb."
Others, however, want singer-turned-presenter Myleene to take the title. @PeaksLfc tweeted: "I Hope myleene wins tonight she’s been great all the way through #ImACele." @gillyn4 said: "Got to be Myleene for the win! #ImACeleb." @SHALlFO added: "If jordan or myleene don’t win i’m gonna be so p****d #ImACeleb."
It comes after some thought former campmate Helen Flanagan had 'leaked' the winner. Asked about her stint on the show at the Pride of Manchester Awards last week, she said: "I don’t know really I mean I became very close to Jordan, I've been really close to Jordan, yeah.
The former Coronation Street star was pushed to reveal who she thinks will be crowned the winner of the series next week, she said: "Maybe [Jordan], maybe, maybe." Helen continued: "I really bonded with Carol and Fatima I really got on with I mean I’m very much a people person."
