I’m a Celebrity South Africa viewers left “raging” as the latest episode ended on a major cliffhanger during the first eating trial.
The ITV spin-off series has returned to viewers screens, and this year they mean business. The trials and challenges are set to be even tougher than the main installment as 12 new famous faces return to tackle them.
During Tuesday’s (April 7) episode, the campmates were still in their divided two camps, with the Savannah Scrub hoping they’d soon join the main camp.

However, the stars were met with different news as Ant and Dec informed them that two new campmates would be joining the competition, and set up an eating trial for the newcomers.
As everyone gathering round to watch, Coronation Street’s Craig Charles and Essex icon Gemma Collins showed up in the Savannah. Craig and Gemma were on the same series in 2014, with Gemma quitting after 72 hours and Craig sadly also departing due to his brother’s death.
The main camp were asked which celebrity they wanted to back, and David Haye made the decision to choose Craig. That meant that Gemma was the newcomer of Savannah Scrub.
During the gruesome trial, they were faced with dishes such as fish eye pie and brain freeze as they try to win points for their opposing teams.
They had to decide how many servings of each dish they wished to consume, with the player who committed to the highest number of servings forced to follow through in order to win a point.
Things became intense as both Gemma and Craig chose to drink 30 shots of the unappetising liquid in front of them. Ant and Dec announced that it was now a race to see which one of them would finish first, and therefore win the challenge for their chosen camp.
However, just as they started the credits rolled and viewers at home admitted they were “raging” as they have to wait until tomorrow to see the result.

@upsteadkidd agreed and said: “what a cruel way to end that” as @sophielout453 quipped: “No no no, it didn’t just end like that. Who do I’m celeb think they are. Love island?”
