ITV I'm A Celebrity fans all say the same thing as they spot editing error - and call for 'firing'
by Jamie Roberts · NottinghamshireLiveEagle-eyed fans of I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! didn’t miss a beat as they spotted numerous blunders during Friday's show. The popular ITV series keeps viewers on the edge of their seats, yet many took to online platforms to highlight an error made by the editing team.
In multiple instances, the Bush Telegraph featured celebrities talking to the camera while displaying incorrect names. For example, Love Island star Maura Higgins was shown but with the caption for Melvin Odoom, TV presenter and DJ, beneath her.
Another mix-up had McFly’s Danny Jones mislabelled as Radio 1 DJ Dean McCullough. And Twitter quickly became a hotspot for jests over the gaffes.
One viewer quipped: "The editing team tonight need to be fired. they've mixed up campmates names several times. #imacelebrity #ImACeleb". Another chimed in: "Issues with names tonight Danny was Dean and Maura was Melvin #ImACeleb #imaceleb2024," and a third asked: "What's happening with the names today? ? ? Danny was in the telegraph apparently it was Dean and Maura was Melvin. @imacelebrity #ImACeleb #imaceleb2024" Even as some fans collated the images, one couldn’t help but jest: "The names are cracking me up. Dean and Melvin look different! @imacelebrity @antanddec #ImACeleb", reports the Mirror.
During Friday's edition of the show, viewers were all worried that Dean McCullough might accidentally reveal a significant secret in the jungle. Earlier in the week, Love Island's Maura Higgins and The Communards' Reverend Richard Coles had joined the programme in the Jungle Junkyard, kept apart from the main camp and apparently deprived of any comforts, including beds.
Yet, they were actually enjoying luxury and had to deceive the other contestants. After the latest Bushtucker Trial, Dean joined Maura and Richard in the separate camp, prompting concerns among fans that he would spill their secret.
On social media platform X, comments poured in with one fan posting: "Dean will ruin the junkyard lie and ruin it for everyone, i fear. He couldn't keep the teabags a secret when Tulisa/Melvin had salt and no one knew until she gave it up #imaceleb."
Another wrote: "I'm sorry I really wanted to like Dean being a local celeb and all but the man is a disaster and a liability to the camp #ImACeleb."
A third shared: "Dean is going to expose the whole secret mission I fear #imaceleb #imacelebrity."
And yet another voiced their concern: "How long then before Dean blabs to everyone when they are all in the trial area, and ruins the hard work Richard and Maura have put into this secret mission #ImACeleb."
