Coleen called their camp "an absolute dump" after seemingly being convinced at the standard of the second camp.
They were also able to fool Melvin in a task with left him covered in disgusting offal, while the pair pretended they were too, but instead they were sitting back enjoying nice food.

Viewers were quick to react to the news, and there was quite a consensus regarding the new arrivals.
And it seems as though the twist has been well received by those watching at home so far.
