I’m A Celebrity… South Africa viewers ‘crying’ and ‘feeling sick’ over Joe Swash and Dean Gaffney’s arrival

Yuck!

I’m A Celebrity… South Africa viewers were left “crying” and “feeling sick” after Joe Swash and Dean Gaffney’s arrival.

The stars are the latest campmates to enter the I’m A Celeb camp spin-off, which follows previous campmates taking on trials again. Furthermore, Amir Khan recently became the third campmate to be evicted after campmates had to vote someone out. His eviction came after Shaun Ryder and Gillian McKeith’s double elimination last week.

Moreover, this year’s spin-off does not include the public vote.

Fan’s predicted Joe and Dean’s arrival
