I'm A Celeb viewers shocked by harsh conditions in South Africa
by SEAN O'GRADY, SENIOR SHOWBUSINESS REPORTER · Mail OnlineI'm A Celebrity... South Africa viewers were shocked by the harsh conditions on the show as the camp was hit by a storm on Tuesday's episode.
The celebrities were split between the main camp and the Savannah Slum during the show and their sleep was ruined when heavy wind and rain battered the camp.
Coronation Street star Beverley Callard looked exhausted the next morning after struggling to sleep through the night.
Viewers took to X to express their surprise at the conditions the celebs had to sleep through.
They wrote: 'That is definitely worse than Australia'... 'That storm aint safe for the celebs'... 'Bev being woken up by the storm, poor hun.'
'And I thought the wind here a couple of days ago was bad'... 'Watching them try to sleep outside makes me never want to camp.'
Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffatt also noted the difficulty sleeping in the camp with the noises from the jungle nearby.
She described the South African jungle as 'less ambiant' than the Australian version of the show with critters and other animals audible throughout the night.
Meanwhile, viewers have already decided which campmate is the villain of the series, just two episodes in.
As pre-recorded footage has showed the campmates settling back into the all too familiar camp, fans appear to have already established who the villain of this series will be.
While watching an interaction between David Haye and the rest of the stars as they attempted to light a fire, viewers flooded social media with comments.
Voicing their opinions on the professional boxer, they said: 'Haye is VERY unlikeable'; 'Is it just me, or is David Haye coming across REALLY badly so far?!?!?';
'Haye I can see causing rows'; 'I can tell Haye is very jealous of Mighty Mo. Surely he has to be the Alpha Male?'
David, 45, who first took part in I'm A Celebrity in 2012, has re-entered alongside the likes of Gemma Collins, Scarlett, Sir Mo Farah and Adam Thomas, to name a few, vying for the title of 'I'm A Celebrity... Legend.'
He appears to already made an enemy with soap star Beverley Callard who furiously declared 'up yours' to boxer David as he sent her to the dreaded Savannah Scrub camp.
The spin-off is filmed in the Kruger National Park in South Africa - with the returning campmates immediately put through their paces.
During the launch episode, Emmerdale alum Adam Thomas had an unfortunate start to the competition as he failed to complete a puzzle in time.
Team captain Adam, 37, took on the first challenge, Tipped Over The Edge, with Beverley Callard as the pair had to try and collect puzzle pieces from the cliff's ledge, while strapped back to back.
But it was not easy because as they got closer to the edge, the platform they were standing on dramatically tilts, throwing them off balance.
However while the tilting platform proved a piece of cake for the pair - it was in fact the puzzle that made Adam come unstuck.
After taking just eight minutes to collect the puzzles pieces and only falling off the platform once, the duo lost the challenge to Ashley Roberts and Mo Farah after Adam took a whopping 10 minutes to complete the puzzle.
Meanwhile, viewers also voiced concern for soap star Beverley, who is currently battling breast cancer.
Some I'm A Celebrity viewers were unaware South Africa was recorded months ago and shared their confusion.
One viewer wrote: 'When was this recorded? I thought Beverly was going through cancer treatment and was ill?#ImACeleb.'
Another penned: 'Aww Beverly great to see her with what she’s going though recently routing for her.'
A third said: 'I absolutely love Beverly a lovely lovely lady who I hope is doing ok at the moment wishing her love better heath and a full recovery.'
A fourth commented: '#ImACeleb how bev collard here? Thought she at death door?'
While a fifth chimed in: '#imaceleb i might be imagining but Beverly was definitely tweeting a few weeks ago about being on treatment.'
