There was also quite a lot of confusion about Kiosk Keith

A lot has changed on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! this year, because of you know what.

The biggest difference is that it is set in Wales, rather than Down Under, which means Kiosk Kev has been replaced by Kiosk Cledwyn.

However, viewers clearly started to pine for old Kev after a tribute to him was revealed in Ye Olde Shoppe.

Said tribute is a picture of the beardy bloke lounging on the beach, with the words 'Good Luck' written across it.

Judging by the response on social media, it seems the photo was enough to make people long for a return to a normal life and a normal I'm A Celeb with the austere Aussie:

Others speculated that Kiosk Kev might be on furlough now, while many thought the producers of the show missed a trick by not replacing him with Nessa from Gavin & Stacey (Ruth Jones).

However, a lot of viewers were left confused by the whole thing, with countless people asking the same question: "Hang on a minute, Kiosk Kev? I though it was Kiosk Keith?"

Well, it was Kiosk Keith, then it was Kiosk Kev, now it's Kiosk Cledwyn.

The OG, Keith, was played by Raymond Grant, who appeared on screen from 2013, but had actually worked as a crew member on the show since 2002.

According to The Sun, Raymond was let go from the show after allegedly turning up to work drunk and 'behaving inappropriately' towards a female member of the team.

He was replaced in 2018 by Mark Herlaar, aka Kiosk Kev.


Posting on Instagram, Mark/Kev said: "Well normally this time of year I'm playing the roll of Kiosk Kev for @imacelebrity UK series. But due to Covid-19 it's being filmed in Wales and so I'm taking a holiday from slamming shutters on celebrities or offering treats.

"This year I'm kicking back and my cousin Kiosk Celdwyn is taking my place in the ye olde shoppe am sure he will do it justice and be more than a happy chap. Well probably not. Anyway enjoy Kiosk Celdwyn. And don't forget to eat well."
