I'm A Celebrity viewers are left baffled by MAJOR editing gaffe and brand the blunder 'extremely poor'

REVEREND RICHARD COLES

I’m A Celebrity viewers were left baffled by a major editing gaffe on Friday’s episode.

Eagle-eyed fans noticed Maura Higgins and Danny Jones’ names were completely wrong when they were speaking in the Bush Telegraph.

As Love Island alum Maura, 33, appeared on screen during the segment – instead of her name, she was unintentionally introduced as fellow campmate Melvin Odoom, the TV presenter and DJ.

Meanwhile McFly star Danny, 38, was called his other fellow celeb campmate, Dean McCullough, Radio 1 DJ.

Viewers of the show took to X after spotting the major mistake. They wrote: ‘What’s going on down in the jungle editing booth?! #ImACeleb’;

‘Who proofs this before it goes on air?!?’;

‘This is EXTREMELY poor #imaceleb’;

‘This continuity editors had one job, get a grip and get it right!!! #ImACeleb’;

‘it’s from the 2 different camps lol’;

Meanwhile some other people didn’t seem to catch the error and asked: ‘What’s the issue’; ‘what’s wrong?’; ‘What am I missing?’.

It comes after Danny and Dean, 32, bagged eight stars for camp as they braved the High Street Of Horrors in the latest Bushtucker Trial on Friday’s episode – before one of them was faced with a huge twist.

The radio presenter and the singer finally ended the streak of poor performances that saw Dean shout ‘I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!’ not once but twice.

As voted for by the British public, the duo headed down to the Bushtucker Trial area to face the challenge, as Danny jokingly asked Dean: ‘Fancy going shopping?’

Fans were confused how Danny could be mistaken for Dean (left) and Maura for Melvin (right)

Horrified to learn they’d be joining them there, Maura and Rev Richard Coles also headed down to the Trial area for the day’s Bushtucker Trial, not knowing what lay in store.

First to arrive were Maura and Richard. They were greeted by Ant and Dec and asked how they were enjoying the Jungle Junkyard, Maura revealed: ‘We’ve had a lovely time… I’m loving it!’

While Richard joked: ‘I’m really consumed with guilt!’

Ant and Dec explained to the duo that as they successfully got a bed delivered to them from main camp yesterday, they won three portions of food for the junk food buffet.

They were also told the trial was their next opportunity to continue the charade, as they had to convince Danny and Dean that they had already taken part in The ᴅᴇᴀᴅly Department Store to try and win 2 stars for their dinner, but failed.

Maura and Richard both got stuck into the pretence, as they covered one another in feathers and molᴀsses and put on their best acting performance.

Dean and Danny stopped at the Grim Grocers first, where there were three stars on offer and they had three minutes to find them.

Winning two stars for camp, they proceeded to the Electrifying Electrical store where they picked up a further two stars out of three, within the three minute time slot.

Working together, he and Danny picked up a further four stars, meaning they won eight in total

As Dean and Danny entered, Maura and Richard looked as downcast as the jungle weather, as they shared the news that they had won zero stars.

But that wasn’t all, when asked what they faced in there, Richard panicked and described there were ‘weird Australian birds’, while Ant and Dec tried to keep a straight face.

Ant and Dec then told Dean and Danny what they were due to face in their part of the Trial.

There were three shops, each containing a number of stars to win for camp – all they had to do was find them within the time allocated for their shopping spree.

I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! continues nightly at 9pm on ITV1, STV and ITVX.
