I’ve generally watched im a celeb every year, its provided a welcome addition to my tv viewing, especially when it comes at a time of year when most of us are probably staying in doors anyway due to the not-so-nice British weather at this time of year. However, this is the first series where i’ve tuned out from watching the programme to conclusion: only 30 years old, so hardly young or super old, but the only person in this camp i know this year was Farage, literally everyone else is an unknown, and thats concerning really.

I looked back on previous series, and the pattern i was seeing in the celeb choices was that i’d recognise at least 4-5 of the celebrities in some form [usually because of tv appearances]. If a series can invite that many well known celebrities, then for me that makes the series a strong ratings puller, but if the only person you can get on a series is a controversial politician, who only become recent to people this year as a result of the stupid de-banking scandal he himself generated [excluding his Brexit referendum from 2016], then its a pretty weak line up of celebrities.

And i hope itv knock off this idea of inviting youtubers to the series. They’re not celebrities, unless they’re people like Dan Middleton who are very well known and have been on the news several times. I use youtube a lot, and have done since 2009, but I have never heard of Nella Rose, and her youtube channel is literally dead lol [the last upload was more than 2 years ago, she seems to be more active on instagram but she only has a million followers there]. If itv wants [what i’m going to call] influencers on the show, it needs to go with people who are likely to be actually known to a relatively large audience, and not niche random people most of us probably have never heard of.
