New I'm a Celebrity arrivals Joe Swash and Dean Gaffney will take it in turns to decide which celebrities are in each camp as the group is separated into two “prides” on I’m A Celebrity… South Africa. But their arrival prompted some viewers to speak out and host Ant McPartlin calling out the 'most disgusting' TV he’s ever been involved in.
Viewers watched on as the new arrivals faced blended crocodile foot and blended kudo anus in the Flipping Disgusting drinking trial before arriving in camp for the first time during Wednesday’s episode.
As they gagged and retched their way through the challenge, @MrWayneyB applauded on Twitter, M.E.N reports. : "This. This. This. Once again. Some of the best TV this year!" @a_jelleyman exclaimed: "DEAN GAFFNEY the funniest drinking trial ever."

@LouiseWraith praised: "No wonder you put it on over two nights… my sides hurt ... best drinking trial ever." And @DanielleGerrar4 exclaimed: "Best episode of @imacelebrity ever!!!"
But some viewers were unimpressed to see more stomach-churning antics. @kay__tweets sai:d: "I feel sick just watching this never mind actually doing it."
@CHEEEKYsausage pleaded: "Please hurry up and end this YUCKINESS!!!!!!" @PastelUnicorn5 decided: "Yep. Part two of this trial of this trial is just as gross as part one." And @mr_chambers_ said: "This isn’t even funny - it’s disgusting…"
@Dandlio19372821 asked: "Whys this on again?" @AmyJoanne__ complained: "Putting me off my curly wurly chocolate." And @teenamassam echoed: "Yukkkkk, I’m trying to eat some chocolate here…" @MN456782 said: "This challenge is so revolting." And @BrightonBren huffed: "God they really are dragging this out."
During the show, co-hosts Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly told the celebrities they will “no longer work as one camp”, splitting into two prides and battling head-to-head to win food.
Swash and Gaffney, who both starred in BBC One soap EastEnders, were chosen as leaders of each pride and will take it in turns to pick the campmates they want, with Swash choosing first after winning a coin toss.
In scenes aired on Wednesday evening, the two teams faced off in a snakes and ladders themed trial, which has a picnic by the waterfall as a prize.
It comes as tensions simmer between campmates on the show, with some claiming others are not pulling their weight with assigned chores.
The episode saw former javelin thrower Fatima Whitbread wake up Coronation Street actor Andy Whyment in the night to tend to the fire, which is what his role as wood drop dictates.
Fed up with having to remind people to do their chores, Whitbread and former Countdown star Carol Vorderman decide to take action.
Carol says: “I think we need to remind them what their responsibilities are. There are quite a lot of people not pulling their weight.”
Meanwhile, in scenes also airing on Wednesday, Swash decides to trick his opposing pride leader and steal Gaffney’s mattress, hiding it in his hammock for a comfier sleep.
I’m A Celebrity… South Africa airs at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
