I'm A Celebrity viewers work out why Sue Cleaver is exempt from eating trial

I'm A Celebrity aired on Thursday night (November 10) and we were taken back to the jungle where yet another trial awaited the nervous celebs.

After Matt Hancock had his go an the Tentacles of Terror, securing all 11 stars for his fellow campmates, there was another vote and the public yet again were able to vote for who they wanted to see face the horrific task.

Unsurprisingly, Matt Hancock was chosen yet again but this time he won't be alone with Boy George joining him.

Ant and Dec informed viewers at home that Sue Cleaver was not able to take part and therefore exempt from the public vote. However, viewers at home were left baffled as to why she was.

The Coronation Street actress is already widely tipped to do well in this year's series and has been one of the more vocal campmates on Matt Hancock's late arrival into I'm A Celebrity. On Thursday's show she revealed that the fact he was doing the show after everything that's gone on "didn't sit well with her".

The trail, which avid fans of the show will be able to see tonight, was teased by Dec, confirming two celebs would take part and hinting: "every meal is spicy, dicey and definitely not nicey."

Many viewers watching at home flocked to Twitter to question the reason for the decision, others offered explanations, saying it was because Sue is diabetic, having noticed a patch on her arm.

Curious as to why, one Twitter user posed: "Why is Sue exempt from an eating trial ?? She's eating all the stuff that's coming into camp???"

Another tweeted: "Can you explain why Sue is exempt from an eating trial? Among the many tweets on the issue, there were plenty giving a potential reason, with one viewer responding: "Does Sue Cleaver have diabetes? I thought I spotted an insulin arm patch on her and now she’s exempt from the eating trial."

Saying the same thing, another posted: "Sue has type 2 diabetes so I’d say it wouldn’t be safe for her to take part."
