ITV I'm A Celebrity viewers think they spotted Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver using a phone despite ban

Eagle-eyed I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here viewers don't miss a trick and during the latest visit to the jungle, fans think they spotted one of the campmates using a PHONE. There are a whole host of things the famous faces entering the show have to ditch before they arrive.

The likes of former radio DJ Chris Moyles, Loose Women's Charlene White, singer Boy George, ex-rugby star Mike Tindall, Hollyoaks actor Owen Warner and Coronation Street legend Sue Cleaver will have had to give up their access to their mobile phones and other devices as well as clocks, make-up, books and other items.

But during the latest trip to the jungle on Monday night (November 7), viewers of the ITV reality show were convinced they saw Sue, who is famed for playing Corrie Eileen Grimshaw, using a phone.

However, we should point out that it was just an optical illusion. What they actually saw was one of the lights dotted around the camp used for the campmates to navigate their way around the outdoor space. While the light was hidden within the leaves, its positioning and the camera angle focused on Sue in her hammock made it look like she was using an electrical device.

But it didn't stop people flocking to social media to question the moment. @paulpresenteruk tweeted: "Honestly…?? Did i see Sue Cleaver with a phone bout 5min in?? #ImACeleb."

@SheltsUnited asked: "Was Sue just on a phone? #ImACeleb." @louisbeck31 replied: "I thought the same!" @charley_paige_ posted: "Sue for sure on her phone just then #ImACeleb."

Meanwhile, other fans were worried for Sue due to her lack of screen time. While only two episodes in, I'm A Celeb viewers were sharing how they wanted to see more of the soap star. @fansvfavourites tweeted: "Where the hell have they hidden ar sue? #imaceleb."

Seems to be in the background and not mingling much #ImACeleb." @NathanLomaxFay shared: "More Sue Cleaver, please. #ImACeleb." @kamsveto echoed: "I want more Sue airtime tomorrow and less of that Owen airtime please and thank you. #ImACeleb." @coops_soph added: "I didn't even realise Sue from corrie was in the jungle she hasn't said much today I hope they give her more airtime #ImACeleb."

It comes after former Love Island star Olivia Attwood had to leave. ITV said the 31-year-old former reality show contestant has been told by the programme's medical team it is not safe for her to return to camp, meaning she is the first contestant to leave the show this year.

Announcing Olivia's departure earlier on Monday, a spokesman for ITV said: "As a precautionary measure Olivia needed to leave the jungle to undergo some medical checks. Unfortunately, the medical team has advised it is not safe for Olivia to return to camp as there needs to be a further investigation. She has been absolutely brilliant and she’ll be very much missed on the show."
