I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here has been rocked by yet another contraband controversy, with EastEnders star Shona McGarty caught using illicit butter. Camp leader Shona faced her fellow campmates, including Aitch, Martin Kemp and Vogue Williams, as she nervously admitted to finding and using butter from the food trunk.
Shona was given two punishment options: lose two stars from trials, affecting their food supply, or step down as leader. She chose to relinquish her role, prompting Ruby Wax to take over as camp leader. Ruby quickly embraced her new power, declaring 'No more Mr Nice Guy', while Jack Osbourne joked about her 'crazy dictatorship'.
This is not the first contraband incident; Lioness Alex Scott was previously caught with salt, leading to an amnesty. Shona also revealed she had brought in a large bottle of scented room spray, baffling campmates. Fans were unimpressed, with many calling her actions 'selfish' and risking meals for the group.
Viewers also questioned the butter's age, noting it had been unrefrigerated for weeks. Host Dec later clarified the butter was taken from a trial, not smuggled in. As the final week approaches, evictions are set to intensify before a winner is crowned.
