ITV's brand new series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! kicked off last night (April 24), as fans got to tune into the show's very first All Stars version. Located in South Africa, Ant and Dec were back at their presenting duties while some familiar faces headed into the camp.
Amir Khan, Jordan Banjo, Helen Flanagan, Carol Vorderman, Fatima Whitbread, Paul Burrell, Phil Tufnell, Janice Dickinson and Shaun Ryder had all returned for the new series. However, just minutes into the first episode, fans headed online to express how much a certain aspect of the 'legend' series is 'weirding' them out, the Mirror reports.
The new All Stars series was filmed last year, so won't be live like many fans are used to. And while the show usually airs in the weeks leading up to Christmas, the latest instalment is showing in spring - and it would seem many fans don't know how to take that.

Rya tweeted: "This feels weird, it made me panic because had a sudden thought that I haven’t started my Christmas shopping #ImACeleb." J-wixy added: "When you hear the #ImACeleb theme tune and you panic that you haven’t done your #Christmas shopping!"
Lucy26xx put: "Feels strange watching #ImACeleb without my Christmas tree up." Lisa Maxwell echoed: "Doesn’t quite feel the same seeing as it was recorded last September. #Imaceleb."
Claire Williams admitted: "Starting to panic now, I haven't bought any presents yet! IM SO CONFUSED #ImACeleb." Jacobaos added: "It feels so weird having #ImACeleb in April but I’m here for it."
Besides feeling confused, many viewers were also left feeling shocked during last night's episode as Gillian McKeith returned to camp - 13 years after becoming infamous for fainting in the jungle in 2010.
The Scottish TV nutritionist made the surprise return as the first ‘latecomer’ to be introduced to the new series. Gillian, 63, has admitted she found returning to the show "terrifying".
She told the Mirror : “It’s going to be more terrifying this time because back then, I didn’t know what to expect but this time I can’t use that as an excuse.
"What I felt before feels 1,000 times worse now and all of it freaks me out but I feel I’ve got a calling to represent all the scaredy cats in Britain – and that is the reason why I’ve said yes.”
