The voting has begun but I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here viewers are not happy with the choices of those evicted from the jungle so far with some saying it has sparked a '"race row". The first celebs to pack up their rucksacks and leave were Scarlette Douglas and Charlene White.
On Sunday, November 20, the result of the second vote was announced and as 'A Place In The Sun' presenter Scarlette headed over the bridge to meet hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, angry fans of the ITV show took to Twitter. Viewers slammed the result, pointing out that it was two black women first to leave the show. Babatunde Aleshe also found himself in the bottom two.
Scarlette's emotional exit was followed with her confirmation to Ant and Dec that she was devastated to be leaving the show. After she cried and hugged all her campmates, she described to the hosts her plan of learning all the jobs in camp in case she made it to the final three.

The Mirror spotted social media reaction to Scarlette's vote off. One angry viewer penned: "Do not love that the two black women were the first to be voted out of #ImACeleb". Another added: "Another black woman out... I wonder if people are still gonna say race isn't playing a part here #imaceleb."
Another said: "Why is it always the black celebs out first? Saying this people will say I’m playing the race card but this is clearly an issue wtf #ImaCeleb". A fourth person shared: "Stop this racist voting now. This is sickening and ITV you must not allow it to continue." A fifth wrote: "The #ImACeleb popularity contest kicks out the two black women first."
Another viewer vented their frustration on Twitter, as they wrote: "So you're telling me the only two black females have already gone and Babatunde the last black person was also bottom two mmm #ImACeleb." One fan said they were "absolutely mortified and embarrassed" by the result.
They wrote: "Absolutely mortified and embarrassed at the results of #ImACeleb. Scarlette is such a likeable woman and if she had been white she would have been the winner. She has more personality and sparkle than any of them. Anyone voting for Matt Hancock should be ashamed. #Scarlette". Another fumed: "Scarlette was so positive amongst all the whiners but mediocre men are always given the benefit of the doubt! Grrrr!"
Another viewer shared: "If you still need proof that racism is very much alive and kicking in this country, two black women have now been consecutively voted out and the only black man in the jungle was in close danger of leaving. Still think we’re pulling the race card, boomers?
Charlene became the first campmate to be evicted. Speaking about being in the camp with Matt Hancock, the Loose Women star said: "I think everyone had their feelings about Matt when he first walked in. But we also have to live alongside him. So we all have to adapt to that. And he's made some real connections in there, which has been wonderful and so many people didn't think that would happen. So it was difficult."
