Celebrity Big Brother Fans Criticize Show's Disturbing Eating Challenge, Accuse Series of Copying I'm A Celeb

Celebrity Big Brother viewers were left fuming by the reality show’s gruesome eating challenge amid the house’s fairy tale themed shopping task on Sunday.

David Potts, Nikita Kuzmin and Bradley Riches were chosen by king Louis Walsh and queen ZeZe Millz and had to chomp down on a string of disgusting dishes, while also revealing their previous nominations to their fellow housemates.

But fans were left unimpressed and claimed the once iconic series had been ‘reduced to copying’ fellow ITV show I’m A Celeb and it’s incredibly similar Bushtucker Trial.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one wrote: ‘What in the I’m A Celebrity is going on here, ITV killing two shows with one stone’.

While a second fumed: ‘I hate it when they make BB like I’m A Celeb’.

While someone else asked: ‘Since when did Big Brother turn into I’m A Celeb?’.

And: ‘Is this I’m A Celeb or CBB what’s going on?’.

With another commenting: ‘CBB reduced to copying I’m a Celeb’.

A sixth wrote: ‘What is it with ITV reality shows and challenges involving gagging and saliva it’s actually enough’.

And a seventh added: ‘What in the I’m A Celeb is going on in this part of the task?’.

It comes after Late & Live descended into chaos on Friday as Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu clashed with Layton Williams after her eviction from the house.

The Love Island star, 29, attempted to ‘blame the edit’ for her unfair portrayal on the show but Layton, also 29, was having none of it and told her she was dragging out the explosive argument with Marisha Wallace during Thursday’s episode.

After his controversial comments on the spin-off show, many fled to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their thoughts on the conversation.

While Layton has yet to comment on the situation, his X account showed that he liked posts stating he was ‘putting her in her place’ and not ‘bullying’.

He liked the posts saying: ‘he confronted HER bad behaviour? you clearly must be like 15 cause you’ve clearly never watched the older seasons of big brother cause this was tame af lmao.’

‘Umm, no.. he just put her in her place. Not bullying.’

‘Oh you were the voice of the PEOPLE tonight, adore you.’

Layton Williams has ‘liked’ tweets from fans insisting he didn’t ‘bully’ Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu during their explosive exchange on Celebrity Big Brother: Late and Live on Friday

Layton is yet to comment on his behaviour on the show but he did defend himself after one user stated that he should know better following his time on Strictly.

One social media user wrote: ‘You would think you would know better!!! You are doing to Ekin Si (sic) what you complain the public did to you. Wt* just vile and disgusting on your part.’

Layton commented: ‘This is *SUCH* a reach. I’m not @’ing any of the housemates my opinions. I say what I need to say on a show I hired to speak my truth, Strictly & CBB are two *very* different shows. They’re judged on their character, not dancing. So plz, st*u and go stan your faves xxx’
