Shona McGarty 'missing' from camp as I'm A Celebrity airtime row sparked
The edit largely features the other, more dominant, campmates
I’m A Celebrity viewers shared their concerns about ‘missing’ Shona McGarty after last night’s show (November 23), as complaints over her lack of airtime poured in. As a result, many have pleaded with ITV to reduce the coverage of the likes of Kelly Brook, and focus more on Shona…
While the ex-EastEnders star has already completed a couple of Bushtucker Trials, fans have started to complain that she’s just not getting the airtime that she deserves. During the hour-long show last night, Shona was largely off-screen, with the louder of the jungle’s 12 campmates dominating the edit.
In fact, one viewer even suggested she’s getting the “Tulisa edit”. Singer Tulisa Contostavlos was on the show last year, and there were complaints at the time that she wasn’t getting enough airtime.
Now, disgruntled viewers have urged ITV to act…
I’m A Celebrity fans declare Shona McGarty appears to be ‘missing’ from camp
On X, viewers called out ITV for an apparent lack of interest in the former EastEnders star.
“WHY is Kelly Brook getting so much airtime and lovely Shona gets absolutely [bleep] all?” one fan despaired.
“Why is Shona getting the Tulisa edit though, haven’t seen her much this week,” a second quipped.
A third simply remarked: “Shona needs more airtime,” while a fourth complained: “Wish they’d show Shona more, she hardly ever has airtime.”
This isn’t the first time viewers have had this complaint. Last Thursday’s (November 20) episode caused a stir as Shona was noticeably absent again. The episode also saw the arrival of Vogue Williams and Tom Read Wilson,
“Has #I’mACeleb got a new director or editor this series?” one viewer asked at the time. “Forgive me if I missed it, but I haven’t seen Shona featured at all during tonight’s episode? Giving some campmates however, FAR too much airtime!”
“I forgot Shona was even in there,” a second admitted.
A jungle romance?
One thing that viewers seem especially keen to see is Shona’s budding relationship with Aitch.
The rapper admitted he had a “soft spot” for the former EastEnders star during a chat with his bestie Angry Ginge.
Later, in a separate conversation, Vogue and Tom also agreed that the pair would make a good couple.
Viewers are on board with the jungle romance, too, and they’re most definitely desperate for more of it to play out on screen…
