I'm A Celebrity... South Africa viewers have claimed that Amir Khan is up to his 'old tricks' following the latest scenes from camp. The boxer is among a number of former campmates who have previously appeared on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here taking part in the new spin-off show.
Instead of Australia, the memorable contestants have been whisked off to Kruger National Park in South Africa where they'll battle it out to become the first 'I'm A Celebrity Legend'. The new edition of the hit ITV reality show is still hosted by Ant Mc Partlin and Dec Donnelly.
However, it was pre-recorded in September last year meaning there is no public vote and the decision of who is the ultimate campmate will be based on the celebrities themselves.

As mentioned, one of the stars returning for the crown is former professional boxer Amir who first appeared in the seventeenth series of the show in 2017. During the series, Amir found himself caught up in "Strawberry Gate" alongside Iain - a drama that gripped the nation.
After winning strawberries and cream in the Dingo Dollar prize, the pair demolished the food without letting the other campmates get a look in. Amir then let radio host Iain take the blame for eating the strawberries.
And while there were no strawberries involved, I'm A Celeb fans think Amir hasn't changed over the last six years as he was seen jumping into Phil Tuffnel's bed as his exited camp for the more basic "Savannah Scrub" camp after latecomer Myleene Klass chose him to replace her after she won her place in main camp.
As Myleene told Phil he’d be going to the other camp, Amir declared: "I might take your bed." Carol Vorderman appeared shocked: as she replied: "Amir Khan, before Tuffers had even gone through the tunnel, he’d got his bags from the hammock and put them on the bed."
Amir then told Myleene: “You have the bed, you have the bed." But the singer-turned-presenter replied: "I’ll go wherever," before getting landed with the uncomfortable hammock. "You just jumped in his grave, he’s not even out the door yet," Myleene quipped.
In the Bush Telegraph, she said sarcastically, giving a mock thumbs up: "Amir has given me his hammock.” Chatting to Toff back in camp, Myleene then said: "As long as Amir gets a good night’s sleep." Amir then offered: "We can swap if you want, whenever you’re ready."
Fellow latecomer Georgia 'Toff' Toffolo then joked: “Your nose is growing every time you say let’s swap." Which then lead Myleene to say: "You’d die if I said let’s swap." And it seems I'm A Celeb viewers were on Myleene's side.
@FoxyD6 tweeted: "#ImACeleb Amir’s up to his old tricks Phil wasn’t through the tunnel and he claimed his bed. Be watching him when he does a chest challenge #StrawberryGate 2." @jowadders01 wrote: "Wow wow wow! Myleene Class doesn’t even get two feet on the camp and @amirkingkhan takes Tuffers bed. Not very gentleman like! The least he could’ve done would’ve been to offer it to Myleene before claim it as his place. No Words! #ImACeleb." @stuartakirk added: "The cheek of Amir to steal Phil’s bed already! #ImACeleb."
