ITV I'm a Celebrity fans have same complaint about Corrie star Sue Cleaver's arrival

She's swapped the Coronation Street cobbles for the Australian bush and soap favourite Sue Cleaver soon made new friends away from Weatherfield. Sue, who plays Corrie's Eileen Grimshaw, looked a far cry from the famous street as she arrived by boat to a glistening marina to take part in I'm a Celebrity ...Get Me Out Of Here!

The first fellow campmate that Sue met in Australia was iconic 80s popstar Boy George and they got along famously as they got to know each other over fruity drinks. Hosts Ant and Dec had viewers cracking up as they introduced Boy George by playing two of his biggest Culture Club hits Karma Chameleon and Do You Really Want To Hurt Me.

But viewers thought the popular ITV reality show had missed a trick by missing what they thought was an obvious song choice for Sue, who has played grumpy Eileen since 2000. @ShakyWoon tweeted: "I wonder if 'Come On Eileen' will become a running gag by Ant and Dec in reference to Sue Cleaver?!"

And they also asked: "Why wasn't 'Come On Eileen' playing in Sue Cleavers arrival clip?!"@LilCavey97 echoed: "They missed the trick of not playing come on Eileen for Sue."

@GucciDamex asked: "How is Sue’s intro song not Come On Eileen?"@HausofDylan95 shouted: "SUE! COME ON EILEEN." And @KelseaWebbx tweeted: "If Sue Cleaver gets picked to do any bush tucker trials on this years I’m A Celeb, I won’t be able to help it but I’ll just be shouting at the TV 'COME ON EILEEN.'"

Sue entered the jungle after a trial called the Critter Cruise. Her challenge saw her face the ‘bait shack' with three hell holes filled with critters. Inside she had to search out the fish eyes, count them up and earn her code to open her padlock.
