Vogue Williams has spoken out about her shock I’m A Celebrity exit. And it seems she thinks she could still be in the camp if Ireland were allowed to vote. But has now said that she didn’t explicitly say that.
Over the last few years, I’m A Celebrity fans in Ireland have been left annoyed that they haven’t been able to vote for their favourite star. And despite calls for changes last year, the voting system has stayed the same.
Now, Vogue believes that the voting system could have something to do with why she has left I’m A Celebrity so early but that she doesn’t know enough about it. However, it appears Irish viewers all agree with her.
Fans call for changes to I’m A Celebrity voting system
This isn’t actually the first time Ireland not being able to vote has caused annoyance. Last year, family of Maura Higgins were left annoyed that they couldn’t keep her in longer.
In order to be able to vote on I’m A Celebrity, viewers have to be in the UK, Isle of Man and Channel Islands.
But each year, fans grow more and more frustrated with the rules. And many have called for a change.
Viewers took to X after and before Vogue left I’m A Celebrity to share their annoyance.
One penned: “Firstly, if Ireland could vote, Vogue would still be in there. And also, how is Jack still there and Vogue is out?”
“Didn’t expect to see Vogue in the bottom two. It’s time they open the votes to Ireland next year and let us have the chance to vote” another wrote.
A third added: “Why won’t you let us vote? Ireland love I’m A Celebrity. Our vote won’t change much but at least we would be able to participate.”
While a fourth wrote: “Voting is only open for eight minutes? Wait, I’m in Ireland and I can’t vote anyway…”
Vogue hits back at claims she blamed the voting system
In a new update, Vogue has responded to an Instagram post about what she said. And has given more background, suggesting that her words were taken out out of context.
She penned in the comments: “I absolutely didn’t say that. Those words never left my mouth. A journalist asked me that question and I didn’t know the answer to it because it is an impossible thing to know if it would have changed anything.
“The headline was what the journalist asked. Not what I said.”
Her comments come after it was reported by the Daily Mail that Vogue had said about the Irish voting system.
The Daily Mail reported that Vogue revealed: “Had Ireland been allowed to vote, things probably would have been maybe slightly better for me.
“There were loads of family and friends that couldn’t vote for me. A lot of people couldn’t vote because they are over there.”
When Vogue was asked if that was “frustrating”, she admitted it was because she “knows” they “would have wanted to”.
So, it appears it’s not just the Irish viewers who are annoyed over the voting system, but also the Irish campers! While there have been no changes just yet, hopefully ITV decide to mix things up a bit next year!
