I'm A Celebrity 2025 was thrown into delightful confusion on Monday night as campmate Tom Read Wilson left both viewers and his fellow celebrities questioning everything they thought they knew about his voice.
The Accent That Baffled the Camp
The Celebs Go Dating star, famed for his soft and eloquent received pronunciation, decided to entertain his campmates by adopting a strikingly different persona. He suddenly began speaking in a deep Essex accent, much to the amusement of everyone around him.
His co-stars were so entertained by the unexpected vocal performance that they encouraged him to continue, leading to a sustained bout of character work that had the camp in stitches. However, as the bit went on, a question began to form in the minds of those watching at home: was this just a put-on voice, or was it a glimpse of Tom's natural speaking voice?
Fan Reaction: 'Wait, Tom Is An Act!'
Social media immediately erupted with speculation from stunned fans of the ITV series. One viewer posted online in disbelief, writing: "WAIT TOM IS AN ACT," capturing the sentiment of many.
Another fan expressed their confusion, stating: "It's hard to tell which voice is the real Tom." The debate intensified as a third viewer confidently claimed, "I genuinely think this deep voiced version is the real Tom." Other comments praised his versatility, with one noting "Tom is brilliant at voices," while another simply celebrated "TOM'S ESSEX ACCENT!"
Rule-Breaking and Salt Smuggling Shake the Camp
The voice mystery wasn't the only drama unfolding in the jungle. The episode also featured a rule-breaking scandal as former footballer Alex Scott was caught flouting the show's strict code by smuggling in contraband.
Scott was spotted on camera with salt, an item strictly banned by I'm A Celeb bosses, and was seen using it on the crocodile feet during Sunday night's show. Presenters Ant and Dec later confirmed the violation, teasing that viewers would have to wait to see what the punishment would be.
On the spin-off show, Unpacked, guest Jill Scott admitted her surprise, saying she thought Alex would be a rule-follower. Comedian Seann Walsh added that he was "surprised by how indiscreet Alex was with putting the salt on." This incident echoes a similar rule break from the previous year involving salt and teabags.
I'm A Celebrity 2025 continues to deliver unexpected twists, airing every night at 9PM on ITV1 and ITVX.
