I'm A Celebrity viewers reckoned jockey Frankie Detorri had an 'unfair disadvantage' over boxer Tony Bellew as they took on a special trial on Thursday night's programme (November 23).
The pair were revealed as late-comers on the show and were welcomed in true I'm A Celeb style with a head-to-head trial. The duo had to each coach a team of campmates who had taken on a challenge previously in the Scarena - 'scary arena' - but not before battling it out between themselves.
Hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly explained what their task, titled Don't Drop The Ball, entailed. Ant explained: “Using only your mouths you have to move the balls from one end of the Scarena over the obstacles to the other end of the Scarena.

"The first coach to get five balls will be the coach of the Home team. And they’ll go to main camp and enjoy a lovely meal tonight. The loser will be the coach of the Away team.”
Dec revealed a gross twist, explaining: “You can only move one ball at a time… you may have noticed these are no ordinary balls, these are pigs’ testicles.” Ant said of Frankie: “He’s used to races, Frankie,” as Frankie laughed: “Not pigs’ balls…”
Asked how they tasted as the race got under way, Tony said: “Salty!” And as Frankie leapt ahead, easily jumping over the obstacles, Ant said: “It’s like he’s dismounting from a horse after winning!”
Ending victorious, Frankie became the Home team coach, while Tony became the Away team coach.
However fans noted that the pair's height difference gave Frankie an advantage over Tony. Frankie stands at 5 foot four while Tony measures up to almost 6 foot 3.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, viewers found the height difference amusing - but reckoned it wasn't a fair game. @_itsmisskayy__ asked: "Is the height difference fair though lol #ImACeleb" as @wowdanieeel said: "#ImACeleb not really a fair trial... with the height difference".
@organisedmess5 reckoned: "Frankie Dettorri defo had the height advantage.#ImACeleb" while @StevoJW asked: "#ImACeleb How is that remotely fair ? Frankie is significantly smaller and more agile".
@geetothedee93 agreed: "Don’t see how that challenge is fair really [laughing face emoji] Frankie didn’t even have to get down on the floor to get under the arch he’s half the size of tony".
