Declan Donnelly: I'm A Celebrity 2018 host hits out after fan claims ITV series is fixed

ITV has been plagued by rumours I’m A Celebrity.. Get Me Out Of Here! is fixed after both Noel Edmonds and Malique Thompson-Dwyer looked prepared to exit the Australian jungle last week.

However, host Declan Donnelly, who presents the reality series with Holly Willoughby, has slammed the claims.

The 43-year-old laughed off speculation the programme is rigged when a viewer claimed Monday night’s evictee Sair Khan was ready to leave, before her name was called out.

Taking to Twitter, a fan of the show questioned: “I’m A Celebrity still not rigged? Sair Khan had done her hair and was ready to leave… hmmmm something a bit fishy about these vote offs.”

Responding to the viewer the official Ant and Dec Twitter account wrote: “Done her hair? You’re clutching at straws now!”

Others blasted the fan too, with one person writing: “Someone has always got to moan! Bore off and turn over if you’re not happy!”

Another said: “Her [Sair] hair has looked pretty amazing the whole time she’s been in there to be fair.”

A third joked: “The real conspiracy theory is how the hell did Fleur [East] get treacle out of her hair?”

The comment comes after the campmates licked the golden syrup off the singer following her Dingo Dollar Challenge.

X Factor runner-up Fleur was covered in the sweet treat after competing in a Bake Off style trial with Coronation Street’s Sair.

Eyeing up Fleur’s syrup soaked body, The Vamp’s James McVey asked her: “Is that edible?”

When the songstress said it was, several hungry campers crowded around her and began licking the treat off her skin.

“Come and have a taste of Fleur,” former EastEnders actress Rita Simons urged the other celebrities.

Giggling as the star’s licked the golden syrup off her body, Fleur exclaimed: “Oh my God! This is the weirdest thing ever!”

The bizarre moment went down a treat with viewers watching at home, with many taking to Twitter to discuss the scene.

One person tweeted: “The campmates licking the treacle off of Fleur is the greatest thing I’ve ever witnessed.”

Another viewer exclaimed: “OMG! The celebs licking Fleur East on I’m A Celeb has made my night lol”(sic).

A third commentator called it the “funniest thing ever”, while another said the scene had “made my life”.

Someone else asked: “What did I just watch? Who’s idea was it for The Vamp’s James to lick Fleur East’s arm?

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! continues tonight on ITV at 9pm.
