I'm A Celebrity fans left fuming at lack of consequence for 'rule breaking' Charlene

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! fans were left confused and upset at the lack of consequence for Charlene White's 'rule breaking' while in the Australian jungle.

The Loose Women panelist was appointed as the deputy to new camp leader Matt Hancock after winning a challenge between the pair and rugby union World Cup winner Mike Tindall and Coronation Street actress Sue Cleaver.

As part of their roles as camp leader and deputy, the former Health Secretary and ITV News anchor have to delegate the chores to the remaining camp mates while also being unable to help in such tasks.

It also includes being allowed to sleep in the 'luxury' RV, which is situated in the sleeping quarters of camp, equipped with two single beds, duvets and pillows - a far cry from the camp beds and hammocks outside in the New South Wales rainforest.

However as Charlene made her way inside the RV, she found a Huntsman spider hanging above her bed before a smaller eight-legged creature scurried across her duvet. The 42-year-old then walked out of the bedroom saying: "I can’t do this tonight."

She was comforted by her fellow camp mates as she wanted to "sleep in a bed she's familiar with", with Matt sympathising and spending the night on his own inside the RV.

When speaking to the bush telegraph, Charlene added: "My bravery levels are done for today. I really don't want to have to sleep in the RV."

Viewers were not impressed with Charlene for not staying in alongside the camp leader in their designated beds and criticised the hugely popular ITV show for not cracking down on her 'rule breaking'.

One fan wrote: "Why has Charlene not been punished for not sleeping in the RV??? She breaking the rules?? Or is it it one rule for one and different for the rest??? Come on @imacelebrity this is turning in to a bit of a bore and poor Matt Hancock!!"

Another commented: "There’s never really been enough threat for not following the rules on #ImACeleb. What’s the consequence of Charlene not sleeping in the RV? Nothing."

A third user said: "They should force Charlene to sleep in the RV!! What a wasted opportunity for someone else!"

A fourth person added: "Will Charlene / the celebrities be penalised for not sleeping in the RV? I’m sure in previous years they’ve classed things like that as a “rule break” and there’s been some sort of punishment for it? #ImACeleb."
