I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! star Fred Siriex left viewers fuming after he demanded to do the Bushtucker Trial and spoke to his co-stars “unpleasantly”.
Walking into the camp, Sam Thompson said: “Today’s Trial is called the Celebrity Distressing Rooms. It is up to you to decide which celebrity takes part.
“One by one each celebrity should say if they want to do the Trial and why. Once everybody has spoken you can make the decision as a group, good luck.”
Immediately, Fred stood up and nominated himself but Sam reiterated: “You’ve got to stand up and explain why.”
Tony Bellew replied: “Let’s just take our time and everyone have a little say of why they think they should do it before we just jump in and rush off. Chill out Freds.”
Fred said: “I’m going to go. I want to go because I want to go and do my best to bring the stars, to bring stars back for you. If everybody agrees that I’m going, then we’re done.”
Marvin Humes also put himself forward and explained: “More than happy to do it, will do my best always.”
Josie added: “Marvin and Fred haven’t done a Trial yet, so it’s basically…” and left Sam to suggest they play rock, paper, scissors to decide.
Fred wasn’t having any of it though and demanded that he do the trial: “This camp has all been equal… it’s only fair I go.
“If you want me to go, just say. Can you vote for me? Thank you. I am delighted.”
Marvin in the Bush Telegraph said: “I was definitely up for doing it, but we just want to eat. Whoever is up for doing them should just crack on and do them.
“So yeah, the French man has spoken.”
Viewers of the show were left fuming with Fred over his aggressiveness towards doing the trial and not listening to his campmates.
@S829MLY fumed: “The public will turn if Fred carries on like this… #ImACelebrity #ImACeleb.”
@emmalovesrep exclaimed: “The way Fred was definitely rude behind the scenes and we’ve seen it tonight and last night.”
Emily O’Neill commented: “Fred is giving me the ick, let other people speak. Hope he goes soon so we don’t have to listen to their chef drama with Josie anymore.
“The way he acts above himself like he did at that moment with Marvin #ImACeleb #ImACelebrity.” (sic)
Sharon MacDonald-Armitage said: “Fred didn’t really volunteer he bullied the rest of the campmates into getting him to do it #ImACelebrityGetMeOutOfHere.”
@BluerayBird added: “#ImACelebrity. Extreme arrogance, inflated ego and ignorance. What a twit!”
@Kayleigh_IoT penned: “Fred needs to be careful, his single-minded attitude, although great for getting tasks done but he’s bulldozing others unintentionally… He better get the [stars] now!”
However, not all viewers were upset with Fred as @RusconiCAT praised: “I’m team Fred!!! He’s so like me….” (sic)
