I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! fans issued complaints during Tuesday night’s episode as an edit on the ITV show gave away one of the trial outcomes.
The popular reality show often attracts criticism for the continuous previews showcased throughout the episode, revealing moments coming up in the instalment.
On last night’s show though, viewers complained it had gone a step further by teasing the outcome of a challenge before it had even taken place.
The November 25 episode saw Kelly Brook, Eddie Kadi, Tom Read Wilson and Vogue Williams taking on the “nursery challenge,” hoping to win sweet treats for the camp.

The creepy nursery setting saw them tasked with reading stories from the names placed on a set of teddy bears.
To secure the sweets, the celebrities back in camp had to correctly guess the name of the story based on four words.
The four were trapped in a cot together as creepy crawlies covered them each time the celebs made an incorrect guess, but they ended up winning six bags of sweets for the group.
These included Liquorice Allsorts, chocolate eclairs, Fruit Pastels and lemon sherbets.
The celebrities were delighted by the win once the group returned and darted towards the bags, with Martin Kemp recalling the “chaos” of the moment.
The Spandau Ballet star labelled it “one of the funniest things I’ve seen for years,” adding: “It was 12 celebrities going absolutely mental. It was like a frenzy, a frenzy for sugar!”
Before the task had aired though, a preview showed the celebs tucking into the sweet treats and Ruby Wax stealing the bag of liquorice for herself.
The editing blunder didn’t go unnoticed by frustrated fans, who took to social media to express their annoyance over the spoiler.

One penned: “Why would @imacelebrity give away the outcome of the trial by showing them eating sweets at the start? #fail #ImACeleb.”
“You’ve just shown us that they pass the task before we’ve watched,” a second echoed.
“But we know they’re winning the sweets because Ruby eats them all? Exact reason why they need to stop showing us so much in the intros #imaceleb,” one more added.
Fans also reacted to actress and comedian Ms Wax bolting from her fellow campmates with the bag of Liquorice Allsorts, refusing to share any.

While some labelled the moment “hilarious,” others failed to see the funny side.
“I’m actually not finding what she did funny. That is entitlement at its finest. She had some of the others that was shared out and she keeps the bag. I’d be taking them back when she goes to sleep if that was me in there,” one admitted.
Another Instagram user commented: “Couldn’t agree more ‘Oh, it’s Ruby’ no it#s rude and unfair on the others especially those who earned them.”
“That was Kelly Brook’s fault, just letting everyone take the sweets without sharing them out properly and when Alex Scott asked what are we doing? She just rudely said ‘eating sweets,'” another noted. (sic)
