I’M A Celeb fans were left furious at the “cruel” ending of last night’s episode, which saw Gemma Collins and Craig Charles arrive and take on their first trial.

For the seventh round of the challenge, Gemma and Craig were faced with a tray of shots, which were made up of blended bull’s heart and blood.

The stars were told to pick their portions, with more shots equaling more points.

At first, they both chose 10 shots each, but in a bid to beat his rival, Craig raised the number to 12.

They went back and forth raising the amount of shots before Gemma shocked her co-stars by saying, “I’m gonna bang the whole tray,” signaling she was prepared to drink 30 shots to win the challenge.

Craig matched this, with both stars in a race to drink all 30 shots the quickest.

Hosts Ant and Dec counted Gemma and Craig down as they prepared to begin the challenge, but the episode then came to a sudden end – leaving viewers on a cliffhanger.

Fans will have to tune in to tonight’s episode to see how the pair get on with the rest of the disgusting trial.

This had many infuriated over having to wait 24 hours to find out the result, with fans taking to social media to share their annoyance.

“What a cruel way to end that #imaceleb,” shared one user to X.

Another wrote: “OH ITV YOU ARE SO F***IN CRUEL FOR STOPPING THERE?!? #imaceleb

“God damm it that’s a terrible cliffhanger was looking forward to see if Gemma overcame her fears #imaceleb,” said a third.

Another echoed: “Suspect about 6 million people shouted ‘w***ers’ At the same time when they ended #ImACelebrity like that. #ImacelebSA #Imaceleb”.

The TV appearance showed that Gemma was living up to her word after she told The Sun how around on I’m A Celebrity, after quitting the show after 3 days, 12 years ago.

Opening up on The GC told us at the show’s launch: “Me quitting has been a shadow hanging over me.

“Going on All Stars is a real moment for me in my career – it’s redemption.

“To be able to do this again is the greatest honour ever.

“If I could get crowned the ‘Legend’, I would just feel complete in my life.

“I am so excited to see again.

“It has been embarrassing whenever I have been to parties knowing their first thought might be, ‘oh no, there is that girl who left the jungle’.

“I want to show them what I am made of and get that new-found respect.”
