ITV I’m A Celeb’s ‘zoned out’ Grace Dent worries viewers as she’s tipped to quit after trial news
I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here viewers are expressing concern for Grace Dent, as the star is tipped to leave the show following the latest trial news.
The TV personality and food critic sparked worry among fans on Sunday, 26 November night, after her reaction to Ant and Dec's big reveal.
They announced that following the most recent public vote, Grace and This Morning's Josie Gibson would be tackling the next Bushtucker Trial.
Upon hearing the news, Grace's face remained unchanged while Josie let out a scream.
Grace seemed upset or irritated about taking on the task, and she didn't say anything, while some of her campmates immediately got up to comfort her.
Viewers at home expressed their concern for the star, saying she appeared "zoned out". Grace recently confessed that she wanted to go home.
One viewer posted on X (formerly Twitter): "I'm getting worried for Grace."
Another viewer commented: "A bit worried about Grace Dent," while a third predicted: "Honestly think Grace might leave some time next week."
Another comment read: "I can see Grace leaving the camp soon, she looked so depressed and zoned out," while another fan speculated: "Reckon Grace is going to bail….."
Grace hinted a few days ago that she might leave the jungle, telling her co-stars she wanted to go home.
She confessed to Josie: "I've had enough. I've completely had enough. I just want to go home."
The show's ratings have been dropping since its launch last week, with the opening night's viewership falling by millions compared to the 2022 series.
This was partly due to an audience boycott over Nigel Farage's participation in the series.
Viewing figures have taken another hit, with 1.3 million fewer people tuning in compared to Monday's episode. The show's launch already saw a drop of 2.2 million viewers from the previous year, and this trend has continued throughout the week.
Saturday's episode, which aired at the later time of 9.30pm, was watched by 5.5 million people.
On average, 4.8 million viewers tuned into the celebrity competition series, over 1 million less than Monday night's score of 6.1 million.
Last week, former UKIP leader Nigel had to face a rather unappetising eating trial on I'm A Celebrity 2023.
He was tasked with munching on a pizza topped with four different types of animal penises, camel udders and a cow teat, all in the name of winning meals for his campmates.
It's been reported that Nigel is pocketing a whopping £1.5million for his stint on the show, potentially making it the highest celebrity payout ever.
Despite some negative reactions to his appearance on the show, there are whispers that the Brexit advocate might be releasing a pin-up calendar soon.
