I'm A Celebrity fans 'figure out' reason why Babatúndé Aléshé is exempt from second trial

Fans of I'm A Celebrity think they have "figured out" the reason why campmate Babatúndé Aléshé is exempt from taking part in the next Bushtucker trial.

In last night's episode, Babatúndé completed the trial alongside Boy George and Chris Moyles so many were left wondering what made him exempt from the next one.

At the end of Tuesday night's episode, Ant and Dec entered the camp to tell the contestants who would be taking part in the next Bushtucker trial. But before they did so, they said that the comedian was exempt from public voting.

The next trial is called Boiling Point and appears to include crocodiles and quite a lot of water. During one of last week's episodes, Babatúndé was also exempt from Tentacles of Terror. Instead, MP Matt Hancock took it on, winning all stars possible as he ducked under water to retrieve them.

On the back of this, fans have now speculated that it may be the case that Babatúndé cannot swim as both trials involve being in water.

Social media users have expressed their thoughts. One wrote: "Second time Bab has been exempt from a water trial. Anyone any insight on this?" And one responded : "Could be scared of water. Or maybe can't swim and it's too risky."

One added: "He probably can't swim." Whilst one penned: "Why are they exempt? I’m assuming Baba can’t swim maybe as it’s in water."

Someone else suggested: "Maybe Baba can’t swim, he’s always exempt from the water trials... either way… lucky him!" In last night's show, Babatúndé, Chris and Boy George only managed to win three stars for camp and they were less than impressed when they had to dine on crocodile's feet for dinner.

Tonight, Chris Moyles gets covered in cockroaches as he takes part in Boiling Point.
