I'm A Celeb caught in MAJOR name blunder as fans call for 'firing'

Eagle-eyed I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! viewers were quick to point out huge blunders throughout Friday's show.

The hit ITV series has had viewers gripped, but online users were quick to call out an error by the editing team. On several occasions, celebrities appeared in the Bush telegraph to talk to the camera, but the wrong name flashed up on screen. In one instance Love Island's Maura Higgins appeared on screen alongside the writing for Melvin Odoom, TV presenter and DJ. Another showed McFly's Danny Jones incorrectly named as Radio 1 DJ Dean McCullough.

And fans quickly mocked the mishap on Twitter /X. One user jibed: "The editing team tonight need to be fired. they've mixed up campmates names several times. #imacelebrity #ImACeleb".

Another noted: "Issues with names tonight Danny was Dean and Maura was Melvin #ImACeleb #imaceleb2024," while a third wrote: "What’s happening with the names today??? Danny was in the telegraph apparently it was Dean and Maura was Melvin. @imacelebrity #ImACeleb #imaceleb2024"

Posting the images alongside each other, another joked: "The names are cracking me up. Dean and Melvin look different! @imacelebrity @antanddec #ImACeleb"

Maura appeared with Melvin's name

During Friday's edition of the show, fans were all concerned that Dean McCullough would spoil a major secret in the jungle. Earlier in the week, Love Island contestant Maura Higgins and The Communards star Reverend Richard Coles joined the show in the Jungle Junkyard. They were kept separate from the main camp and were seemingly going without any luxuries, not even beds. However, they were lapping up the luxury and had to try to fool the other contestants.

After the most recent Bushtucker Trial, Dean joined Maura and Richard in the separate camp and fans were wary he was going to ruin their secret. Taking to X, many shared their fears, with one writing: "Dean will ruin the junkyard lie and ruin it for everyone, i fear. He couldn’t keep the teabags a secret when Tulisa/Melvin had salt and no one knew until she gave it up #imaceleb."

Another typed: "I'm sorry I really wanted to like Dean being a local celeb and all but the man is a disaster and a liability to the camp #ImACeleb." A third said: "Dean is going to expose the whole secret mission I fear #imaceleb #imacelebrity." And another expressed concern, saying: "How long then before Dean blabs to everyone when they are all in the trial area, and ruins the hard work Richard and Maura have put into this secret mission #ImACeleb."
