I’m A Celebrity South Africa viewers noticed an obvious blunder after Gemma Collins lost her trial, leaving many saying the same thing.

For Wednesday’s show (April 8), the episode picked up from the previous one, in which Gemma and Craig Charles took part in an eating challenge.

Following the cliffhanger on Tuesday, Gemma and Craig both said they’d be able to down 30 shots of pig’s blood, and the first to do it would win food for their camp.

Gemma gave it a go. However, she struggled and gave up early on. Craig, on the other hand, kept downing his shots and ultimately won the trial.

That said, when the camera panned to his 30 shots, viewers noticed they were far from empty…

I’m not being funny but those glasses aren’t empty #ImACeleb,” one user wrote on X.

“Are them shot glasses not supposed to be empty?” another person shared.

“His shot glasses aren’t even empty. Some of them are still half full,” a third remarked.

“Most of Craig’s ‘empty’ shots are still half full,” a fourth said.

“Craig winning that trial when a load of his shot glasses was still half full,” a fifth expressed.

A sixth echoed: “How did he win when they’re all half full?”

This is not what I’m a celebrity should be’

Due to the show being pre-recorded last year, the edit has been noticeably different from the regular live series in Australia.

Numerous times this week, the show has ended on a cliffhanger, and last night was no different. As a result, viewers continued to complain.

“The editing is boring now,” one insisted.

Another cliffhanger, oh how original,” another said.

Too many ads, challenges and cliffhanger endings. This is not what I’m a celebrity should be,” a third declared.
