ITV I'm a Celeb fans 'know' who will be crowned Jungle king or queen already

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here fans 'think they know' who will win this year just minutes into the new series.

It took viewers all of 30 minutes to pick their favourite to take the crown as a new set of famous faces descended onto the jungle. Ant and Dec welcomed Boy George, Sue Cleaver, Owen Warner, Scarlette Douglas, Mike Tindall, Charlene White, Chris Moyles, Jill Scott, Babatúndé Aléshé and Olivia Attwood to the ITV show.

The celebrities met each other and later found out how they would be entering the camp - from walking off 'the ledge' to skydiving. Adrenaline was pumping before they even got to see where they were sleeping.

Whisked off by a helicopter, Charlene, Babatúndé and Jill arrived at the iconic Focus building for an infamous I’m A Celebrity challenge. Ant explained what they had to do as he said: "One at a time you’ve got to walk to the end of your planks.

"When all three of you are in position, on our cue, you’ve got to step onto the yellow ledge at the very end. You’ve got to lean forward, using a rope behind you to stop you falling off."

Dec added: "There are three stars up for grabs here, each one of them is worth a meal for camp tonight. You need to remain on the ledge for 60 seconds. When the time’s up, in order to win your star, all you have to do is let go of the rope. Then gravity will take over."

If the celebs fell before 60 seconds was up then they would automatically lose their star. Jill sounded unsure, as she said: "This is a very difficult task to get one star. I think you should get 10 if you complete this."

But surprisingly, it was only Babatúndé who shouted: “ I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!” as he quit the challenge. Charlene then had to wait for Jill to get to the end before they could both lean forward. They completed the 60 seconds and both let go of the rope to complete the task and therefore earned two stars for camp.

Fans were instantly impressed with Lioness star, Jill as they applauded her on Twitter. The hashtag was flooded with comments of people predicting her winning the whole show, with many anticipating that it would be the first of many stars for her.

One user said: "So yeah Jill Scott will WIN #ImACeleb I am 1000000% sure already, legend." Kerrie said: "#jillscott is gonna win #ImACeleb I can feel it!! Decent down to earth women with big set of balls!"

Rachael said: "Jill Scott what a legend it's only day 1 and I want her to win #ImACeleb." Linzi said: "30 minutes into the first ep & Jill Scott to win the series. #ImACeleb". Ash said: "Jill Scott’s already got the win in the bank #ImACeleb."
