ITV's I'm A Celebrity has angered viewers who have labelled the show as being 'fixed' after a Bushtucker Trial saw all celebrities receive their letters from home.
Viewers watched on Sunday night (3 December) as all ten celebrities in camp received messages from home after each campmate successfully navigated the trial. The task involved balancing a ball along a set of pipes and guiding it into a hole before the letters were shredded.
All celebrities managed to complete the task, sparking viewers to claim the show is a 'fix' with the task being "blatantly rigged" so no campmate would fail.

Another shared: "#ImACeleb rigged bulls**t ...a blindfolded dog could do this trial." A third raged: "That trial was rigged, how did Nella know exactly where to go in the dark, very convenient and well edited #ImACeleb." Another added: "They’ve definitely rigged that on purpose #imaceleb."

To me I have come out of there as a winner. I challenged myself. I passed every challenge. And, I like to say it could have been two weeks or three weeks, it wouldn't have made no difference. I just felt like I did everything I wanted to achieve and I'm very proud of what I did.
"Going to the jungle it's not a race when you are actually in control. It's the public in control. It's the media, it's the social media. I mean, I feel like a winner because every challenge I took, I did it and I took it head on I never ducked out to anything."
