I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! returned to our screens on Sunday night
Viewers tuning into the opening episode of the latest series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here have pointed out one ‘staged’ moment that ‘happens every year’.
Sunday night (November 16) saw Ant and Dec return to Australia to introduce a new batch of famous faces preparing to endure the brutal conditions of jungle life.
Viewers are anticipating another dramatic series of the ITV programme over the next three weeks, with contestants including Kelly Brook, Martin Kemp and Jack Osbourne.
At the start of the first episode, five celebrities – Aitch, Kelly Brook, Eddie Kadi, Shona McGarty and Martin Kemp – could be seen in helicopters.

And it wasn’t long before hosts Ant and Dec told them that the only way of reaching the ground would be to jump out, reports the Express.
The celebrities each expressed complete shock at having to complete the jump from 12,000 feet.
But this failed to convince viewers, as skydiving has become a familiar pattern on the ITV show.
I’m A Celebrity has been broadcast on ITV for 25 years now, and loyal audiences have grown used to seeing the campmates making a spectacular arrival by parachute.
It wasn’t long before those watching from home began voicing their opinions on X.
One viewer taking to social media wrote: “Why do they act shocked when this happens every season?”.
Another posted a GIF of someone with the caption ‘pretends to be shocked’ and commented: “The celebs when they are told they have to jump out the helicopter even though it happens every year.”
A third viewer wrote: “You’re in a helicopter and DIDN’T expect to have to jump out! ? The guy crouching in the corner with two parachutes didn’t give it away.”
Another viewer said: “Why are they shocked when they’ve sat opposite someone with a parachute for 20 minutes #ImACeleb.”
