I'm A Celebrity made its big return to screens on Sunday night (November 19) as 10 new famous faces went into the jungle. <\/p>\n

However, the ITV show is in a bit of a spin after the first instalment of the new series saw a dramatic dip in ratings. In total, an average of 7million people tuned in to watch the return of the hit reality show on Sunday evening (November 19). <\/p>\n

According to overnight ratings, figures reached their peak when 7.8m viewers watched as 10 new campmates entered the programme. However, figures are significantly down compared to figures from the launch show last year.<\/p>\n

In 2022, a total average of 9m people opted in to watch the show last November. As a result, viewing figures for the first show went down by a total of 2m people.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It comes as the show has been embroiled in controversy for booking a number of divisive campmates. These include former UKIP leader and GB News host Nigel Farage, as well as Jamie Lynn Spears, who is the younger sister of pop legend Britney. <\/p>\n

The show got underway as all 10 campmates were split into three groups, each earning stars to feed themselves in camp for the first night. Each celeb group competed in different challenges such as sticking heads into boxes with snakes, as well as skydiving and snatching stars from skyscrapers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Fans of the show were left fuming when the broadcaster revealed the line-up, with many pointing fingers at ITV bosses for deliberately signing controversial figures for ratings. Some viewers opted to boycott the show so as not to give airtime to the contentious contestants.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the launch, viewers were determined to go after actress and singer Jamie Lynn due to the ongoing feud she has with her older sister. Farage's inclusion also stirred up drama for viewers when it was revealed he had been paid \u00a31.5m to appear on the show.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A similar feeling amongst was expressed last year when former Health Secretary Matt Hancock entered the jungle. A controversial figure due to his handling of the Covid-19 pandemic, Hancock's inclusion raised eyebrows as the Tory politician aimed to raise awareness of dyslexia. <\/p>\n
