Overview
- ITV’s 2025 launch introduced 10 new campmates, but viewers widely reported the show’s app failed to verify numbers or accept votes during the first poll.
- Hosts Ant and Dec confirmed Ruby Wax and YouTuber Angry Ginge (Morgan Burtwistle) will take on the opening eating challenge at The Divey.
- Ruby Wax’s on-screen remarks telling Angry Ginge he was in her light drew strong backlash on social media, while friends such as Kathy Lette publicly defended her on ITV’s Lorraine.
- Producers set a new rule for this series that after a celebrity is voted into two consecutive trials, they cannot be voted into the next day’s trial.
- A planned helicopter entrance for Ant and Dec was dropped at the last minute due to weather and health-and-safety restrictions, with the pair arriving by car instead.
