Viewers have claimed Gemma has had a ‘redemption arc’ after her 2014 series, with some even wanting her to win the I’m A Celebrity South Africa. 

They wrote on X: ‘I think Gemma is having a redemption arc which has come as quite a surprise to me’;

‘Gemma has surprised me at how much I like her. She’s so funny’ and ‘I misjudged Gemma and I think she’s brilliant tv. Also wouldn’t be mad if she won.’

Elsewhere in the show, David Haye threatened to steal his rival camp’s dinner on I’m A Celebrity after his team lost yet another Bushtucker Trial. 

Team Rhino goaded the former boxer, 45, over their win of the first challenge, Wicked Watering Hole. 

And things only got worse when his Lion teammates Sir Mo Farah and Seann Walsh came back empty-handed after their terrible performance in Cut Throat Cliff. 

Winners Beverley Callard and Sinitta added salt to the wound as they declared they ‘couldn’t wait’ to rub their win in.
