I’m A Celebrity viewers are already backing a clear winner just a day into the South Africa series, with Scarlett Moffatt emerging as the early favourite.
The former jungle Queen faced David Haye in last night’s (April 6) Unlucky Lodges challenge as the all-stars spin-off launched. And while the boxer beat her in the trial, Scarlett quickly won over viewers with her humour and relatable charm.

Scarlett Moffatt wins over viewers on I’m A Celebrity return
The former Gogglebox star famously won the show back in 2016. Now, 10 years on, she’s back in camp – and fans are convinced she could do it all again.
Speaking to hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, Scarlett joked she was now “10 years older and four stone heavier” than her first stint. She also hilariously claimed she’d been “bitten by a snake or a crocodile” because her bum was in its face.
Her down-to-earth humour instantly struck a chord with viewers, many predicting she could reclaim her crown.
Viewers convinced Scarlett will win
“Scarlett is definitely going to win,” said one viewer, just minutes into the show.
“So much love for Scarlett Moffatt. So unassuming… absolutely adore her, she’ll win it again,” said another.
“Just crown Scarlett already,” a third declared.
“Scarlett to win. She was my winner from day one,” another added.
“Scarlett all the way,” one viewer wrote, calling her a “dark horse”.
“Anyone else find Scarlett absolutely hilarious? Think she could go all the way and win it again,” said another.
