Viewers of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! are convinced they have already crowned the winner of the 2025 series, following a truly horrifying Bushtucker Trial that aired on Monday night.
The Trial That Sealed The Victory
Monday's episode on ITV featured a nightmare-themed challenge that has been branded by fans as the "worst" trial the show has ever broadcast. The segment was so gruelling that even veteran hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly were heard gasping and shouting in horror from the sidelines.
It was musician Aitch who volunteered for the ordeal, lying down in a dark enclosure as a torrent of insects and spiders were released onto his body. His task was to untie stars while creatures, including large spiders, crawled over his face and head. The trial escalated in intensity, leaving Dec screaming in reaction to the disturbing scenes.
Viewers Crown Aitch Their King
The public reaction on social media was immediate and decisive. Fans declared that Aitch's sheer bravery and composure during the challenge made him the undeniable winner of the entire series.
One fan posted online, "Aitch for the win," a sentiment that was echoed across the platform. Another stated, "Aitch will win this year's," while a third commented, "Aitch has to win he's been through the most AWFUL trials and smashes it every time my winner right there."
Many viewers focused on this single trial, with one writing, "Nah Aitch needs to win just for this challenge alone," and another asserting, "Aitch deserves to win after this challenge!" The consensus was clear: his performance had won over the British public.
Abrupt Ending Sparks Confusion
The dramatic trial was not the only talking point from the episode. Hosts Ant and Dec left viewers puzzled with what many described as an "abrupt" and "odd" ending to the show.
Unlike the usual format, the hosts did not enter the camp to speak with the celebrities. One fan questioned, "Ant & Dec not going into camp today?" while another noted, "It did seem a bit rushed and weird."
Speculation is rife that the change was due to the severe storm that hit the camp earlier in the day, forcing an evacuation. Some fans suggested this logistical issue or a planned overnight trial might explain the unusual conclusion, with one viewer theorising, "Maybe for something interesting tomorrow."
I'm A Celebrity 2025 continues nightly at 9PM on ITV1 and ITVX.
