I'm A Celebrity... South Africa's Myleene Klass had to hit back at trolls after recreating her iconic white bikini scene after 17 years.
The 45-year-old had the nation talking when she originally rocked a tiny white triangle bikini to shower in the jungle in 2006.
She appeared on the show after Hear-Say broke up and, although she wasn't crowned queen of the jungle, the moment turned her into a household name.
And now, after almost two decades, Myleene commemorated the shower scene by recreating it in a similar swimsuit.
On Tuesday's episode, she showed off her incredible physique as she made her way to the camp's shower.
Viewers experienced deja vu during the episode but some accused her of 'stripping down to a bikini to win the show'.

One troll wrote: "You’re an intelligent bright girl but so disappointing that you feel that you have to strip down to your bikini to win the show!
"You really are so much better than that. Such a shame Mylene."
Myleene responded to the uncalled-for comment and wrote: "Intelligent bright girls know they can't shower in a boiler suit."
She also told the user: "You can win trials, play a piano, raise a family and wear a bikini. They're not mutually exclusive.
"Women should feel unapologetic of who they are and fearless in the body they're in. Wear what you want to wear, live how you want to live.... and let your sisters do the same."
Meanwhile, during the I'm A Celeb episode, Myleene took to the Bush Telegraph to discuss the iconic white bikini.
She said: "I'm a huge fan of a white bikini and I get one every season and make sure I rock a white bikini because I owe this white bikini a lot.

"I would love to say this is THE white bikini. I don't know where the white bikini is because when I came out of the jungle in Australia way back, I auctioned my bikini off and somebody bought it for £7,500.
"I would love to know who's got it or would I?"
Myleene recently revealed that the original bikini scene almost didn't happen as the swimsuit was a chance purchase.
She revealed she was told to buy something plain as the other patterned outfits she had packed might cause strobe on the TV.
The mum-of-three recalled: "I remember one of the show's producers looking at my bikinis in the hotel before I went to camp. One was covered in stripes and they said, ‘We’ll have to stop at the shops as that’s probably going to strobe on camera’.

"I ran into the shop en route to the jungle and asked the shop assistant for the plainest bikini she had. Best $40 I ever spent!"
Since appearing on I’m A Celeb, Myleene has been able to add radio host, TV presenter, author, model and fashion designer to her CV.
Discussing the impact her appearance on I’m A Celeb had on her career, Myleene shared: "The offers following my bikini moment, from modelling to more, were just staggering.
"I’d say to any girl, ‘Go into the jungle’. It worked for me."
