I’m A Celeb fans left furious after Roman Kemp and James Haskell’s ‘impossible’ trial

They're not happy.

I’m a Celeb is yet again facing backlash this year.

Last night (Sunday 24) saw fans in a rage after Roman Kemp and James Haskell’s joint live trial.

The first live trial of the season saw both James and Roman tasked with lying in a bed together, covered in live animals and unscrewing stars from one side of the bed before screwing them back on to the other side in 90 seconds.

Each star was placed in a box of insects, making it even harder to unscrew and fans just didn’t understand how the show thought it was even remotely possible to do in a minute and a half.

Many were angry that the trial wasn’t practised before the campmates where challenged to complete it (although Ant and Dec have clarified that it was tested by stand-ins).

This isn’t the first trial to come with backlash after fans were disappointed with Friday night’s trial too which saw the campmates putting live insects into their mouths.

But aside from the contestants losing the challenge, people are loving both Roman and James at the moment. Fans keep referring to James as the “man we all need” and Roman for being “plain hilarious” as he impersonates Caitlyn Jenner down to a fine art. Ah, we really do love them too.

Bring on tonight’s episode.
