I'm a Celebrity campmates received their long-awaited letters from home in the latest episode after the entire group took part in a balancing challenge and won all 10 messages from family and friends. But some viewers of the episode on Sunday, November 20 were not best pleased with some of the celebs for showing their "true colours" during the challenge.
In order to achieve the prize, the campmates were split into three groups and tasked with balancing 10 blocks on a beam within 60 minutes. Those whose blocks were balanced at the end of that time would be awarded a letter from home. Sue Cleaver, Boy George and Chris Moyles were up first but struggled initially, while Matt Hancock, Mike Tindall, Seann Walsh and Babatunde Aleshe seemed to have more luck with the task but a lot of blocks still remained.
Scarlette Douglas, Jill Scott and Owen Warner were the last group up with 37 minutes left to complete the challenge. After learning "small steps" were best, they completed the challenge in 14 minutes and returned to camp triumphant with all 10 letters, reports the MEN.
Matt received a letter from his partner and former aide Gina Coladangelo, who he was caught breaking coronavirus social distancing rules with in June 2021, when they were pictured kissing in his ministerial office. She said they have been "impressed" that he conquered his fear of snakes but added to the West Suffolk MP: "We are less sure about the dancing."
Ex-rugby star Mike was left emotional when he received a message from his wife Zara, who is the daughter of Princess Anne and niece of the new King, who he shares three children with. You can read more about that here.
But the trial appeared to cause outrage among I'm A Celeb viewers as they spotted what they believe was a very clear move by the campmates towards Matt. @atateypot said: "Putting Matt's block on last after all the stars her won for camp just goes to show the true colours of all the camp mates. I hope Matt wins."

Block until last #ImaCeleb." @silverhorizon5 tweeted: "They even put Matt's block on last, so he very nearly didn't get a letter from home. Unbelievable! #ImACeleb." @Gina_Vandy1 posted: "Wow!! Fancy putting Matt's block last. Vindictive people. #ImACeleb." @wbbz6 added: "Matt Hancock's block was the last one put on but he's the first one up to hug everyone #ImaCeleb."
Others praised Matt as he chose to help out Boy George despite their awkward conversation just a couple of days ago. @AndrewLazari tweeted: "After how Boy George has been towards Matt Hancock, Matt still chooses Boy George’s block! That’s the difference between the two! #imacelebrity #ImaCeleb." @daisy211201 added: "Nah matt’s better than me i would NOT try and do george’s block #ImACeleb."
Elsewhere in the episode, Scarlette was the second celebrity to leave the jungle after receiving the fewest number of public votes. You can read about the campmates who have left so far here. It came 48 hours after Charlene White was kicked out of camp during the first elimination of the 2022 series. On leaving the Australian jungle, Scarlette told I'm A Celeb hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly: "I’m absolutely gutted I’m not even going to lie about it. I know that some people wanted to leave and I was like ‘I’m not ready to go yet’. I wanted to stay for as long as possible because those people are amazing and the jungle is incredible."
