Owen Warner was left heartbroken on Tuesday when the I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! camp failed to answer the Dingo Dollars question correctly. The campmates were asked about viewing figures of the biggest TV events in the last couple of years but ITV viewers felt the one of the options was “inappropriate”.

Chris Moyles and Owen took on the Deals on Wheels, also known as Dingo Dollars, challenge. 

The pair had to complete a puzzle with a series of clues that were being acted out by the rest of the camp.

After securing the dollars, Owen and Chris discovered the treat up for grabs was an envelope with the England vs Iran result and chocolate brownies. 

The camp was asked which of these had the largest UK viewing figure: Men’s Euro Final 2020, Women’s Euro Final 2022 or the Queen’s funeral.

The camp voted for the Queen’s funeral but the correct answer was the men’s final. 

“I need a moment, honestly,” Owen said when the brownies disappeared. “That’s actually devastating. Ah mate, I’m gutted.”

I’m A Celebrity fans didn’t feel it was “appropriate” to include the Queen’s funeral as an answer to a quiz question.

@Hayley24270578 complained: “That question about the queen’s funerals viewers was so disrespectful #ImaCeleb.”

@griannedoherty3 agreed: “Unpopular opinion maybe but was it really totally 100% appropriate to have The Queen’s actual Funeral reduced to a trivia question on a tv show really? 

“Who the actual hell thought that could possible ever be a good move seriously? #ImACeleb.” (sic) 

@BtiRebecca shared: “I’m no Royalist but it did seem really distasteful to have the Queens Funeral (or anyone’s for that matter) being reduced to an item on a game show so soon. Just me? #ImaCeleb #ImACelebrity.”

@VikkiFlatt replied: “I agree, especially having someone in the jungle married to her granddaughter.”

“#ImACeleb Completely inappropriate and in bad taste to include the Queen’s funeral in a question. Celebs quite rightly answered with the Queen’s funeral had highest figured for fear of suggesting football bigger. Think next time ITV. Mike’s family watching!” @ShocksStares wrote.

The 2020 Euro Men’s Final was watched by 31million while the Queen’s drew in 29million viewers in the UK.

The 2020 Euro Women’s Final had 17million viewers in comparison. 

Boy George became the fourth celebrity to be eliminated on Tuesday following Sue Cleaver, Scarlette Douglas and Charlene White.

Speaking to Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, the pop icon admitted he was ready to leave. 

“Being honest, I’m happy to go today,” he shared. “For me it was like can I do it? It was a lot tougher than I thought.”

He added: “It makes you appreciate what you have in your life and I’m sticking to the diet, it was amazing.”

I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! continues on ITV on Wednesday at 9pm.
