I’m a Celebrity South Africa viewers found it hilarious after Seann Walsh made a mistake during a terrifying challenge.
As the ITV spin-off series kicks into full swing of its second week, the first elimination looms for the 12 celebrities after facing various challenges.
Unlike the Australian main series which is broadcast live each night with an 11-hour time difference, the South African series was pre-recorded last year, thought to be in September.

Instead of the public voting to eliminate the celebrities, the campmates themselves will choose who to bid farewell to after various tough challenges are completed.
On Tuesday (April 14), a sneak peek at the end of the episode showed that the first star is set to be eliminated from the camp. It’s been an intense couple of weeks so far, with potential feuds bubbling throughout.
However, it’s former boxer David Haye who viewers think should leave South Africa first following his behaviour in the competition. He caused upset amongst viewers as he made comments about “ugly” women, adding that his partner Sian Osbourne has the personality of an “ugly bird”.
It caused an outrage on social media, with only Beverley Callard in the camp calling him out for his deemed “sexist” comments. However, with the drama upcoming on the ITV series, there was a light-hearted moment that left viewers in tears during a challenge.
Seann Walsh, Mo Farah, Sinitta and Beverley arrived to meet Ant and Dec as they were chosen for the pending challenge. With Seann and Mo hoping to win against the reigning champions.
The four stars were attached to a harness as they leant backwards over the edge of a cliff drop. As they were asked general knowledge questions, if they got one wrong they had to cut one of the ropes from their harness, or if another star guessed correctly they could choose whose rope should snap.
Mo went first over the edge, followed by Sinitta, which left Seann and Beverley suspended. However, after the last question on Giraffe’s, it was Beverley who avoided the harsh drop.
Seann was a bag of nerves throughout the challenge, but his answer to him finishing the lyrics of Toto’s 1982 hit Africa left Ant and Dec in stitches. They asked the group to finish the lyrics to the song and gave the prompt: “I bless the rain down in…”
Seann responded after buzzing to suggest that he knew the answer, and incorrectly guessed: “Spain.” Ant and Dec were seen hiding their faces behind their cue cards as they laughed at his answer, while he exclaimed: “I don’t know, it rhymes!”
Viewers couldn’t get enough of the moment and on X (formerly known as Twitter), @itscloemoe wrote: “I just spat my drink out lmao ‘I bless the rains down in Spain'” and @christine6257 added: “Blessed the rain down in Spain (crying emojis) oh that’s got me !!”
I’m a Celebrity South Africa airs on weeknights at 9pm on ITV1 and is available to stream on ITVX.
