I‘m A Celeb viewers have major complaint about new series in South Africa

One element of the show is noticeably missing

Fuming ITV viewers are all complaining over a ‘missing’ part of the new I’m A Celebrity South Africa series.

The series kicked off on Monday and sees returning favourite celebrities from past series of the Australian jungle (and Welsh castle) show taking part in the special edition of the programme.

The new cast have all been in camp before.

The 'all star' version features the likes of Paul Burrell, Phil Tuffnell, Carol Vorderman and Amir Khan.

With retrieving stars, deadly drops and witchetty grubs, the camp of famous faces has already been confronted with uncomfortable moments - but despite the setup we know and love, one notable thing is missing from our screens.

The LIVE clock is noticeably missing.

The LIVE clock was gone from the bottom left-hand corner, as Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, both 47, introduce links between segments and go into camp in the morning (local time) to announce who's been voted out.

Moments into the new African series, viewers realised it was entirely pre-recorded back in September 2022, with no live elements at all.

Devotees of the show argue that the show has lost its edge, as they can no longer see the results causing drama in real-time, and also vote for celebrities to take on Bushtucker trials.

What's worse? The winner has already been crowned the 'legend'.

Fatima is tipped to win the series.

"This time around there is no king or queen of the jungle," the hosts explained.

"Instead, one of you will become the first ever I'm A Celeb legend. You'll compete against each other to win food, treats, and for the right to remain in the camp.

"Long story short, expect the unexpected.”

The sense of audience participation has always been a huge hit among fans of the ITV reality series.

One viewer tweeted: "I can't lie, I'm A Celeb South Africa feels a bit off since its not live. Still looks fun though!"

While another said: "I'm looking forward to the I'm A Celeb All Stars show but it's a shame that it's not live and we can't vote with it being pre recorded!"

"This series not being live every night kinda takes away the entertainment value," said a third.

Olympic star, Fatima Whitbread, is already tipped to take the crown this series after she came third in the 2011 series.

Meanwhile, I'm A Celeb viewers were divided as one of the show's most infamous contestants, Gillian McKeith, made a shock return at the end of the episode.

Last night, Shaun Ryder’s less-than-impressed response to discovering McKeith would be joining them in camp had viewers creasing.
