I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Australia came to a thrilling finish on Sunday night as Skye Wheatley walked away as ‘Queen of the Jungle’.
It came down to the final two, with Skye going up against Irish television presenter Tristan MacManus, but after an ‘incredibly close’ public vote, the social media star walked away with $100,000 for her chosen charity, Bully Zero.
But many viewers on social media were not happy with the way things played out on the jungle-based reality show, airing their complaints on X (formerly Twitter).
‘That’s disappointing,’ wrote one user after the winner was announced, while another wrote ‘I have no opinion on Skye because I have no idea who she is or what she does, this year’s I’m A Celebrity is a non-event.’
Another X user had a spray for the voting public, writing, ‘Who ever voted for Skye have got no idea. She carried on so much and most of it all was just put on. In my opinion, Tristan should have won it hands down way more deserving and genuine.’
