ITV I'm A Celebrity viewers 'switch off' after South Africa show first

I'm A Celebrity viewers were furious after Amir Khan was voted out in tonight's show.

The retired boxer was the first campmate to be voted off in the battle to be crowned the first Legend. The All Stars edition was pre-recorded and it was the first time that the contestants voted for who would leave TV's toughest entertainment challenge.

However, fans following the show on Twitter were shocked when hosts Ant and Dec announced Amir would be leaving. Some took to the social media platform and said they would be reaching for the remote to change the channel after the decision.

2012 added: "They chose Amir, it's a joke #ImACeleb Time to switch off"

Heather said: "I was not expecting it to be Amir"

@da1lymemes commented: "No way Amir just got voted out…MAKE THE VOTE PUBLIC"

Ash posted: "What the hell!! As if Amir has left!! He’s the best one in there!! Fuming!!!"

Katrina said: "Amir???? Well, I'm shocked.."

Amir was content as he left and admitted he was missing his family. Viewers following the show on Twitter said this was the reason why campmates voted him out.

Luna said: "Why is everyone raging about Amir being voted out like he didn't literally say he misses his wife and kids, has done 3 trials, and is content with going now JUST BEFORE they all voted"

Matt commented: "are you guys watching #imaceleb? Amir put HIMSELF up. when you have to vote someone out and someone volunteers it makes you feel less guilty for voting them."

DIamond_Girlx tweeted: "I’m sure you’ll probably find that Amir dropped heavy hints he wanted to go and that’s why they all voted for him."

Ciara posted: "Amir volunteered himself really so I’m not that surprised."
