Outraged I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! Australia viewers have slammed the series over an 'impossible challenge' during Tuesday's episode of the show. Several fans said the 'impossible' and 'ridiculous' task prompted them switch off the show altogether.

The 11th season of the celebrity survival game show was quickly panned by viewers on Sunday, during its premiere episode. The 2025 cast - including reality stars Reggie Bird, Matty Johnson, Samantha Moitzi and Tina Provis, footballer Zach Tuohy, comedian Geraldine Hickey, TV host Nicky Buckley, Olympian Shayna Jack, radio veteran Dave 'Hughsey' Hughes, and UK internet personality Max Balegde - were labelled as 'nobodies', while hosts Robert Irwin and Julia Morris got panned as 'unfunny.'.

'Can someone come and collect their nanna from the jungle please?' the official IAC Instagram account captioned a clip of Max, 26, doing the challenge. The 26-year-old TikToker is seen dangling over a crocodile-and-hippo-infested canyon in South Africa while holding a basketball.
