ITV I'm A Celebrity fans say campmate 'won't survive' as they work out who will 'walk out' of jungle

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here may have only just started but viewers think they have worked out who will be the first to 'walk out' of this year's show.

The hit ITV reality show returned to screens on Sunday night (November 17) with Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly seen back in Australia with 10 new famous faces heading into the iconic jungle including WAG Coleen Rooney, Coronation Street star Alan Halsall and McFly star Danny Jones.

In the debut episode of the seires, Coleen, the wife of former England goalscorer, Wayne Rooney, landed on a beach and had to compete against her fellow celebrities by pairing up with another contestant. She was chosen by radio star Dean McCullough so they could fight to become the first leaders of the camp – which would exempt them from the first bushtucker trial, and allow them to sleep in the comfort of the leaders’ lodge.

After skydiving to the beach, Dean had the choice of Coleen or his Radio 1 colleague Melvin Odoom to which he declared: "Melvin, I’m so so sorry, Wagatha Christie you’re coming with me," using the name Coleen was dubbed after she accused Rebekah Vardy of leaking her private information to the press in a viral post on social media.

The other celebrity pairings are Irish boxing champion Barry McGuigan and Jones, Corrie's Alan and N-Dubz singer Tulisa Contostavlos, Loose Women stars Jane Moore and GK Barry, and Melvin and Dancing on Ice judge Oti Mabuse.

They then traveled to a river where they must find the keys to unlock their boats by putting their hands into "hell holes" which were likely to contain insects, snakes or other animals. Alan and Tulisa won the competition and were crowned the first camp leaders.

And later in the jungle, Barry and Danny had to take on the first trial after being chosen by their fellow contestants. It saw them locked in padlocked cages and trying to earn stars, which equate to meals. Danny earned them five stars, while Barry got nothing, so the camp was given their first dinner of Kangaroo hind.

But it was GK Barry, whose name is Grace, who caught viewers' attention thanks to her high-pitched screens during her pre-camp arrival trial. She was then later seen looking upset as she was told by Ant and Dec at the end of the first episode that she will have to face the first solo trial of the 2024 series.

The trial, titled Vile Volcano, will see GK, having been voted to take on the trail by the public, once again forced to face her fears after she admitted to viewers in her VT she was scared of everything, and didn't like anything ahead of her entrance into the jungle.

It left I'm A Celeb viewers predicting she'll be voted for every trial - or even walk. One said: "GK Barry after getting voted for every bushtucker trial after showing the nation she’s scared of everything #ImACeleb." Another commented: "GK Barry has just nominated herself for every trial #imaceleb #imacelebrity."

A third shared: "This GK Barry is actually mad. She's deffo getting voted for every trial, can even see her walking in my opinion." A fourth commented: "GK Barry isn’t gonna last two days." Another added: "GK Barry won’t survive 48 hours the rate she’s going."

Others, however, were concerned fans may turn on her and demanded she isn't chosen for every trial going forward in the series. One said "We beg you please let this be the year that you finally listen to us and make it so it's not the same person shouting in every trial every night it's not actually entertaining!!" Another echoed: "Y'all best not vote GK Barry for every trial like you did Nella Rose." A third added "I just hope she won't be doing every trial, not a scooby who she is."
