I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! is set to return to our screens next week with a new-line up of celebs ready to become campmates, but fans are threatening to "boycott" the ITV series before it even begins.
Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly will be back once more to front the popular show which will hit screens on Sunday, November 19.
ITV bosses haven't yet officially revealed who will be heading to the jungle, however, with the rumoured line-up being unveiled, many fans weren't happy to see that former UKIP leader Nigel Farage is among the celebrities heading down under.
A list of celebs thought to be heading to the jungle includes Tony Bellew, Jamie-Lynn Spears, Nick Pickard, Josie Gibson, Fred Siriex, Frankie Dettori, Nella Rose, Danielle Harold, Sam Thompson, and Marvin Humes.
However, many fans say they will "switch off" if Nigel is a campmate, writes The Express.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one fan fumed: "#ImAceleb has got it wrong this year recruiting you. Many of us will be switching off. You don’t need £1m."
Another wrote: "Do advertisers really want their brand to be forever associated with Farage? Boycott."
While one added: "Yes it is insulting @ITV. It is a boycott from me. Hope #ImAceleb is boycotted in droves!" (sic)
One commented: "No I'm A Celebrity in this house for us this year if Farage is going to be on it. #ImAceleb."
While one said: "Another year of not watching #imaceleb because @ITV can not read the room and want headlines over the majority of public feelings. I hope you all including @antanddec are proud of yourselves for turning a much-loved show that bought some much-needed entertainment into a farce!" (sic)
"Disappointing lineup this year #ImAceleb," another raged.
