ITV I'm A Celebrity viewers 'rumble winner' days before final as star 'must win'

Viewers think they already know this year's I'm A Celebrity winner, after a vile trial on Saturday night.

Fans claimed one star in particular "must win" after a gross eating challenge in the latest episode of the ITV series. Reverend Richard Coles is tipped to win the jungle show, amid him becoming a favourite in camp.

Richard was declared a Camp Leader, voted by nearly all of his campmates - including himself. For days people have loved seeing him in camp, bonding with a number of stars including Oti Mabuse and Maura Higgins.

Now the latest challenge has sealed his victory fans say, after he was forced to digest a number of nasties to win stars for camp. Viewers called it the most disgusting trial ever, and were quick to praise him and co-star Tulisa for giving it their best go.

Fans now think Richard can go all the way and win the show, initially being dubbed "boring" by fans. He's won over viewers and his co-stars, and is tipped to be this year's Jungle King.

Taking to X, one fan posted: "Rev Richard for the win." A second added: "Reverend Richard Coles is the King. This man must win!" as a third fan posted: "Richard needs to be in the final night."

The comments kept on coming too, with one reading: "Tulisa or Rev Richard must win." A further comment said: "Richard and Tulisa deserve to be crowed King and Queen of the jungle tonight for this trial."

It comes as Loose Women star Jane Moore became the first celebrity to leave the camp in the public vote on Friday night. Jane spoke to Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly following her departure, describing her stint in the jungle as "such a weird and magical experience".

Whilst talking to Ant and Dec, Jane reflected on the experience. When asked if she was disappointed to be first out, she responded: "No more washing up - yes!" She also stated that: "Hard work doesn't get rewarded."

During her stint in the jungle, Jane came under fire after she accused Barry McGuigan and Danny Jones of being "sexist" and "ageist" over a camp chore. Reflecting, she said: "I collected the logs, I built the fire, I emptied the dunny, because my partner was Dean, who was on trials all the time.

“So I did it all on my own, put out the rubbish. I had three jobs. I worked like a dog, and then they gave me the washing up, which is a really tough job to go three times a day all the way to the bottom of the creek, lugging everything. I wasn't pleased about that, to be honest. I said to Danny when he walked out: ‘Don't give me cleaning'."

She added that she "can't wait to get rid of the washing up," adding: "I'm never washing up again, ever. Yeah, it's been hard work down there this year." Jane backed Melvin Odoom or Coleen Rooney to win as they work hard in camp.

She said: "I think Melvin is an absolute slogger. He's very quiet. He doesn't push himself forward. Coleen is another one. So they keep everything going. They're not flamboyant but they're solid."

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! airs every night at 9PM on ITV1 and ITV X.
