The double exit of Jack Osbourne and Lisa Riley from I’m A Celebrity sparks outrage, with fans accusing the show of being fixed
The latest episode of I’m A Celebrity. Get Me Out of Here has left viewers in uproar after two popular contestants, Jack Osbourne and Lisa Riley, were eliminated just 48 hours before the grand finale. The shock departure of the two campmates caused an outpouring of emotion from their fellow contestants, but many fans were less than impressed, taking to social media to voice their anger.
Osbourne, the television personality and son of Ozzy Osbourne, and Riley, the beloved Emmerdale actress, were sent home after receiving the fewest votes from the public. Their elimination came as a surprise to many, as both had become fan favourites over the course of their 21 days in the Australian jungle. They joined a growing list of eliminated stars that already includes Alex Scott, Eddie Kadi, Vogue Williams, Kelly Brook, Ruby Wax, and Martin Kemp.
The double exit, which was announced by hosts Ant and Dec, sparked fury among the I’m A Celeb fanbase. Social media was flooded with posts accusing the show of being “fixed,” with many questioning the legitimacy of the voting process. Some fans even declared they were “done watching” the show altogether.

Next year please don’t fix who the winner is, it’s boring now.” Another added, “Officially done watching #ImACeleb this year. So over the Aitch & Ginge show,” referring to fellow campmates Aitch and Angry Ginge, who have been prominent figures in the series.
Other posts questioned the integrity of the voting system, with one fan simply stating: “WTF #ImACeleb who is voting? This show is fixed.” Many expressed their disappointment over the results, with some claiming that the broadcaster had “lost half your viewers” due to the controversial eliminations.
Despite the backlash, some viewers were pleased with the outcome, with one tweeting: “Result! The 4 I wanted in the Cyclone!” However, others were left wondering who would ultimately win, with one fan commenting, “#imaceleb I really really want Tom to win but I honestly don’t think he has a chance. Ginge or Aitch will definitely win.”
The double elimination has undoubtedly shifted the dynamics in the camp as it heads into the final days of the competition. But as tensions rise and accusations continue to swirl, it remains to be seen whether the show can regain the trust of its loyal audience.
