Overview
- Viewers can now vote a contestant into a maximum of two trials in a row before they become ineligible for the next selection.
- The rule is active in the current series and is already shaping which celebrities take on challenges.
- Reaction on social media is divided, with some praising the added variety and others preferring the previous format.
- Following Aitch’s November 18 trial, some fans urged that he should do every challenge despite the new restriction.
- Former campmate Nicola McLean suggested the change was influenced by Morgan “Angry Ginge” Burtwistle’s sizable online following—reported at over 1.4 million on Twitch and 889,000 on YouTube—a claim not confirmed by ITV.
