I’m A Celebrity Viewers Outraged by Lisa Riley’s Bold Move at Jungle Arms – Did You Catch It?
In a recent episode of I’m A Celebrity, viewers expressed strong discontent over Lisa Riley’s conduct during a karaoke night at the Jungle Arms. The 49-year-old actress from Emmerdale faced accusations of dominating the spotlight, particularly during fellow contestant Martin Kemp’s performance.
Highlight of the Karaoke Night
The night featured multiple performances, kicking off with Lisa dazzling the audience as she sang Gloria Gaynor’s classic anthem, “I Will Survive.” Kelly Brook, a fellow participant, praised Lisa’s performance, saying she “nailed it” and initiated a lively party atmosphere.
Mixed Reactions from Fans
- While many enjoyed Lisa’s energy, social media reactions were polarized.
- Some fans accused her of overshadowing Martin Kemp as he attempted to perform the Spandau Ballet hit, “Gold.”
- One Instagram user remarked, “It’s turning into the Lisa show,” while another wished to hear more from Martin.
Other Performances and Reactions
Tom Read-Wilson provided a slower moment with “I Could Have Danced All Night,” before Aitch and AngryGinge delivered a lively performance of their own. Despite moments of shared singing, viewers felt Lisa’s enthusiasm perhaps limited Martin’s opportunity to shine.
Behind the Scenes
Earlier in the competition, Lisa had revealed she only shared her participation details with two people — her fiancé Al Benkovic and co-star Dominic Brunt. Dominic admitted he found it quite peculiar to keep this secret from his wife.
