Who doesn’t love a good conspiracy theory?
The latest series of I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here has been on for a few weeks now.
Since it kicked off, viewers have been treated to bush tucker trials, adorable moments, and the odd eviction or two.
Oh, and an abundance of fix claims where fans have convinced themselves that the show has been preplanned from the start, that nothing is real, that conscious existence is but a fluke.
Which, yeah, it might be but we’re not going to figure that shit out thanks to an ITV reality show.

Last night was no difference fix claim-wise either. Following Rita Simons’ eviction, viewers were quick to point out that the former EastEnders actor would be back in the UK right before her panto was due to start.
Bournemouth’s production of Sleeping Beauty is due to kick off in just four days, so we suppose it is quite convenient that she’s leaving the jungle at this crucial time.
Other people thought so too. Here’s what they said.
Hmm ? interesting. Rita out of #ImACeleb and starring in a pre booked panto on Saturday. ?

Coincidence that Rita gets voted out tonight and she's due to open Bournemouth panto in 5 days? #ImACelebrity #ImACeleb

Coincidence, indeed.
Or, it may not actually mean anything at all seeing as Rita is sharing her Sleeping Beauty role with fellow actor Jennifer Ellison so, you know, she could literally return to the UK whenever she wants.
Sorry lads.
It's the end of @OfficialRita's Jungle journey, but what a journey it's been! #ImACeleb pic.twitter.com/iIwfqGpUjS

This comes after Dec was forced to respond to claims that the show was fixed after Sair Khan appeared to have her hair and makeup done ahead of her exit.
He weighed in on the speculation, telling I’m A Celeb conspiracy theorists that they were “clutching at straws now.”
Whatever you say, man.
