I’m A Celebrity… South Africa begins

After hearing the iconic I’m A Celeb theme tune, many viewers joked they should be putting their Christmas tree up! Many admitted they felt “thrown off” by hearing the theme song in April instead of November.

Anyone else thrown out! Where’s the Christmas tree?

One person said on Twitter: “What’s happening? #ImACeleb. I haven’t even got my Christmas tree up yet.”

Another quipped: “The countdown to Christmas has begun early. #ImACeleb.” Someone else joked: “Anyone else thrown out! Where’s the Christmas tree?”

Another laughed: “Hearing the I’m A celeb theme tune and not having my Christmas tree up, just doesn’t sit right with me.”

Meanwhile, another added: “Hearing this theme tune, in April, is going to totally throw me. This show is the start of Christmas, not summer!”

Others expressed their excitement for the new series. One gushed: “This is going to be amazing!!!!!!”

Another added: “Can’t wait to think it’s November for the next two weeks.” A third tweeted: “This will be so good!! Can’t wait to watch the whole series.

“To do it once is brave, to do it twice is crazy and exceptional!! Still hit them like it’s the first time all over again.”

The show is bound to feature some explosive moments, whether it be trials or clashes in camp. According to reports, Carol clashes with Janice Dickinson in one moment in camp.
