Strawberry-gate Returns I’m a Celebrity Faces Fresh Food Controversy
The latest episode of the popular reality series, I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, has sparked yet another food-related controversy, harkening back to the infamous ‘Strawberry-gate.’ On November 20, viewers witnessed a minor mishap involving contestants Kelly Brook and Martin Kemp as they prepared a meal in the camp.
Potato-Gate: The Latest Food Blunder
New arrivals Vogue Williams and Tom Read Wilson wasted no time assigning roles among the existing campmates. Martin Kemp and Kelly Brook took on the crucial role of cooks. However, their first meal preparation took an unexpected turn when they realized that the sweet potatoes were missing.
As the contestants searched frantically for the missing potatoes, a humorous theory emerged from Aitch, who joked about there being a “potato thief” on the loose. In reality, the potatoes were never stolen; they remained in the cooking pot, unnoticed due to poor visibility in the camp.
Social Media Reactions
- Fans took to social media to comment on the situation.
- One user humorously noted, “The pot being the potato thief is so funny!”
- Another cheekily remarked about Aitch’s assumption of a potato thief.
- Viewers expressed their disbelief, asking, “How do you lose potatoes?”
A History of Food Controversies
This incident adds to the series’ reputation for food-related drama. Previously, Amir Khan and Iain Lee faced backlash during their time in the camp for hoarding strawberries—a moment that was quickly dubbed ‘Strawberry-gate.’ Khan later reflected on this controversial decision, emphasizing that he was simply hungry and didn’t regret his choices.
As I’m a Celebrity continues to entertain, fans eagerly await the next culinary calamity. The series is broadcast on ITV1 and ITVX, captivating audiences with its blend of humor and reality TV intrigue.
