The anticipation for I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! has been building up for weeks, and finally, the celebrities have entered the jungle. But it seems like fans have already noticed a big change in this year's season.
Traditionally, when the celebrities enter the jungle to face the gruesome bush tucker trials, they have to leave behind their personal belongings and everyday clothes. Instead, they are given a basic uniform of blue t-shirts and red trousers to wear. However, this year, there has been a change in the uniform, specifically in the t-shirts.
Fans were quick to point out that the voting numbers, which are usually written on the back of the t-shirts along with the celebrity's name, were missing. Instead, the t-shirts now only have the celebrity's full name written on them. This sparked some surprise and confusion among viewers, with some taking to social media to share their thoughts.
But it turns out, there is a simple explanation for this change. The show has decided to phase out phone voting and instead, all votes will now be counted through the app. An insider revealed that the number of people voting through phone calls has declined over the years, making it a small proportion of the total votes. To simplify things for viewers, the show has decided to only have free online voting through the app.
Last night's launch show saw some familiar faces, such as Oti Mabuse from Strictly Come Dancing, Danny Jones from McFly, Tulisa Contostavlos, and Alan Halsall, among others, enter the jungle. And as always, there were two more rumored stars who are yet to make their entrance. Fans were excited to see the drama kick off, but some were disappointed to see the end of an era with the absence of phone voting.
However, this change in voting method is not the only noticeable change in the show this year. In the past, the celebrities used to have their first names and phone numbers written on the back of their t-shirts, but this year, their full government names are displayed. This may seem like a small change, but for some fans, it was a nostalgic reminder of the show's long-standing traditions.
As the celebrities settle into camp and prepare for their first bushtucker trial, it seems like they will also have to adjust to wearing bright red socks as part of their uniform. This may seem like an odd choice, but it serves a purpose. The socks are meant to mask any accidental blood seeping through, as the celebrities are likely to be bitten by various creepy crawlies during their time in the jungle.
Last night's votes revealed that GK Barry, also known as Grace Keeling, will be the first celebrity to take on the bushtucker trial tonight. After her reactions to the jungle critters in yesterday's episode, viewers can expect some entertaining scenes.
The show's former on-site medic, Bob McCarron, has previously explained the reason behind the uniform socks. As the celebrities are exposed to various insects and animals, they are likely to get bitten or scratched, and the red socks prevent viewers from seeing any blood, in case they have an aversion to it.
The excitement and drama of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! continue tonight at 9pm on ITV1.
