I'm A Celebrity viewers could not hide their fury on Wednesday night, as a popular contestant was sent packing from the show.
Due to the format of the series, with the public not getting a say, some show favourites have lost their place across the series ahead of the final.
The same thing happened again on Wednesday night, just a day on from Joe Swash leaving camp for good.
Helen Flanagan was the latest popular star to be axed from the show during a survival challenge, despite doing a lot for camp and being tipped to win the show.
Helen and co-star Dean Gaffney lost their places in camp just two days before the final, after coming last in the latest survival challenge.

As the result was revealed, with Helen losing to Paul Burrell, Jordan Banjo, Phil Tufnell, Myleene Klass, Carol Vorderman and Fatima Whitbread, fans fumed on Twitter.
Many confessed they were tempted to switch off from the show, as they slammed the format once more.
Taking to Twitter, one fan said: "There’s literally no point watching anymore, all the good camp mates have left."
Another tweeted: "Only liked dean and helen who were left so guess im not watching anymore."
A third viewer commented: "Thats ridiculous that Helen is out over that silly game with keys she should have been the winner, she's done so much more than others in there."
The comments kept on coming too with another reading: "Physically cannot watch #ImACeleb all the good ones keep going."
