I’m A Celeb fans fear TWO stars will be ruled out of Cyclone if they make the final
I’M A Celebrity fans fear TWO stars could be ruled out of the iconic Celebrity Cyclone should they reach the final.
The iconic Cyclone traditionally marks the end of each series of the beloved ITV show.
Although it’s a milestone many celebs want to reach, viewers are worried two stars may have to be ruled out.
Their worries centred on Reverend Richard Coles and Coronation Street star Alan Halsall.
Writing on Reddit, a fan said: “Rev self eliminated himself from any camp chores by voting for himself for leader because he said he physically couldn’t do it.
“I can’t see him being up to Cyclone at all.”
Another pointed out how Alan has an ACL injury while the Reverend was previously ruled out of a heights-based trial on medical grounds.
They added: “Almost like producers know they won’t be able to do it on medical grounds.”
It comes as the long-running ITV show has just introduced a game-changing twist.
For the first time, the remaining campmates had a chance to win a “Golden Ticket” for a guaranteed Cyclone spot.
Immunity for the next two votes was also up for grabs.
After completing the Arcade of Agony Trial, four finalists qualified for the next round.
Danny Jones, Coleen Rooney, Maura Higgins and Oti Mabuse all still have a chance to win the coveted prize.
Meanwhile, fans have been left divided by the Celebrity Cyclone shake-up.
One penned: “This completely defeats the point of the show. The public are supposed to choose the winners – wtf is this????”
Another slammed the twist as the “worst” thing the ITV show has “ever done”.
Celebrity Cyclone spin-off show
Celebrity Cyclone is a long-running favourite on I’m A Celebrity – but it’s about to be seen in a whole new way.
The Sun told how the Cyclone is in line for its own spin-off programme.
Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly will not be involved.
A TV insider said: “A spin-off show for the Cyclone makes absolute sense and across the industry it has always been considered a TV hit in waiting.
“Cyclone could evolve and use the core basis of the water slide to become a wider show.
“If the testing proves successful there is every intention to look at a full series in the future.”
An ITV source confirmed: “Cyclone is such a hugely popular part of I’m A Celebrity that show bosses felt it was worth exploring ideas to see if anything might work as a stand alone show.
“They’ll be looking at all aspects of the game.”
While a third remarked: “It manipulates the outcome an eighth place celebrity can finish fourth.”
Yet another argued: “So basically…. screw democracy and this just proves to those who have said over the years that this is a fix.
“It’s bad enough most of us were unable to vote on the very first vote-off for the first trial due to c**p IT issues on their end, but now we can’t even enact a popularity vote… for a show which is essentially a popularity contest.”
I’m A Celebrity continues on ITV1 and ITVX.
