I’m a Celeb in new ‘fix’ row as furious viewers slam rules for the next Bushtucker Trial | The Sun
I’M A Celebrity have found themselves embroiled in ANOTHER "fix’ row.
It comes as furious viewers have once again slammed the rules for the next Bushtucker Trial.
Viewers were left seething after hosts Ant and Dec revealed Nella Rose had been ruled out of the next challenge.
The Geordie duo, both 48, revealed the next Bushtucker Trial to fans called Eaten Alive.
However, they said that YouTuber Nella has been ruled out of the public vote due to 'medical reasons'.
This isn't the first time she has been exempt from a Bushtucker Trial, leading some fans to question if the show is "fixed".

Reacting to the news, one fan said: "Nella fix with the trial … why could she not do that???"
A second posted: "This is starting to feel like a fix. They shouldn’t be there if they get exemption from half of it. Give them only half the fee if they can’t do it all."
"Next time #nellarose is exempt from a trial nobody should vote for anyone," said a third.
Meanwhile, it comes after I'm A Celebrity was last night forced to apologise when a moderator had thrust ITV into the centre of a social media row over Nella.

Bosses scrambled to react when fans of the show spotted the official account had been ‘liking’ hate comments about the YouTuber.
ITV rushed to delete the thread and begged fans to “be kind” in a statement posted online.
The statement read: “Yesterday we accidentally liked a comment on Instagram while scrolling down through viewer comments.
“The post in question contained unacceptable language about one of our campmates and we apologise for the mistake made and any offence caused.
“We seek to champion all our campmates and would always urge our audience to be kind when commenting on social media.”
The row began when a number of viewers noticed that the official I’m A Celebrity account, which has 1.6million followers on Instagram and 1.3m on Twitter, had ‘liked’ a mean comment about Nella Rose, 26, made by a user underneath a post celebrating Sam Thompson’s revelations about his ADHD.
We have chosen to keep the account name private, but the insult read: “You know why, because Josie is a genuine person, Nelly jelly belly is just after publicity whatever.”
The thread has now been deleted but online users claimed there were other comments too – however none that The Sun has been able to verify.
A second post said to have been liked by the account read: "I'm not a Nella fan but I have to agree with you, if that had been Nella there would be a riot on here… but not with Josie."
Of all this year’s cast, Nella Rose has attracted the most critique online.
