Im A Celebrity fix row emerges after Shaun and Gillians exit

I’m A Celeb: Gillian McKeith and Shaun Ryder evicted from show

Happy Mondays star Shaun Ryder and Scottish television personality Gillian McKeith were kicked out of I’m A Celebrity South Africa on Friday after failing a challenge.

Shaun had to choose who he wanted to be paired up with for the trial but viewers are convinced he picked Gillian as he wanted to leave the series and thought she was the weakest celebrity.

@Denimjon tweeted: “Shaun was clever, he knows he is getting two weeks at a five-star hotel.”

Sue Stark shared: “I’ve got a feeling Shaun didn’t mind going home, who on earth would pick Gillian Mckeith if they wanted to win, loved him, sorry to see him go he’ll be missed in camp.”

Liz suggested: “Sean always likes to do the bare minimum. He wanted to be booted out but still get paid so this was the perfect way. Shame because he’s funny.”

Troy shared: “Shaun picking Gillian is a brilliant move #ImACeleb.”

Meanwhile, Helen commented: “I can only aspire to be as petty as Shaun Ryder choosing to team up with Gillian McKeith to try and stop her winning the show #ImACeleb.”

Matt Thomas remarked: “Shaun Ryder sacrificing himself to boot out Gillian is everything I’m here for. Absolute legend. #imaceleb.”

Gillian, 63, addressed her trial with Shaun after learning she was leaving the show, telling viewers: “He said he had to pick someone to do the trial.

“I thought there’s no way Shaun is going to pick me. I’m the last person you’d pick, right? He comes back and I’m lying there, enjoying my bed, chatting to Janice and he then says he had to pick someone.

“I heard my name and I said, ‘What, is this payback for 2010?’ Honestly, why did he pick me? I tried to convince him to pick Fatima [Whitbread] as he might have won.”

She concluded: “I’m disappointed by the way that I had to go out. I didn’t want to leave. I think if it was voted for by the public I would have had more trials.”

Shaun starred in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! with Gillian back in 2010 and it’s safe to say the pair were not the best of friends during their time Down Under together.

However, the duo ended on good terms this time around as Shaun put his arm around Gillian as they left the spin-off series together during Friday’s episode.

I’m A Celebrity South Africa continues on Monday at 9pm on ITV and ITVX.
