Viewers of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! have accused producers of bending the rules after Anthony Mundine's emotional exit. The boxer left the show on Thursday's episode, citing his longing to see his five children.
Mundine's tearful farewell speech divided fans, with some praising his honesty and others branding him a quitter. One fan tweeted: 'Never in my life would I think I could say the Anthony Mundine could bring me to tears.' Another wrote: 'Gained so much respect for you... You were phenomenal and inspiring.'
However, critics argued that his departure was unfair to other contestants. One viewer fumed: 'I understand you miss your kids but you knew you would have no contact... You're just like Tomic, a quitter when it gets too tough!'
Mundine told his fellow campers: 'I come in here to let people see the real Anthony Mundine... I am not the guy they perceive me to be. This arrogant d**khead person, which sometimes I seem.' He also addressed his rivalry with Danny Green, suggesting a third fight could lead to friendship.
I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! continues Sunday at 7:30pm on Ten.
