I’m A Celebrity fans argue Anne Hegerty’s time in the jungle is up

She's a favourite to win the show

Anne Hegerty has won over the nation on this year’s I’m A Celebrity with many fans calling her their queen of the jungle.

The Chase star, 60, has become a favourite to win after fans noticed her incredible transformation since entering the Aussie jungle.

Despite threatening to quit the show on the first day, Anne – who has Asperger’s – has since admitted she’s starting to have fun in camp and has stormed her Bushtucker trials.

But Anne has faced criticism from some viewers after being ruled out of a few trials on medical grounds during her time on the show.

On Monday night’s show, Anne was saved by the public as Coronation Street actress Sair Khan was eliminated from the jungle.

But some viewers weren’t happy with the result, with many saying Anne’s time on the show is up.

One person tweeted: “Unpopular opinion. You shouldn’t win on sympathy votes. I really think she’s done well so far but her time is up. #anne.”

Another wrote: “Personally I think Anne needs to be voted out, she’s said she wants to leave so it’s not fair to keep her there at the expense of someone who wants to stay.”

A third added: “Sair genuinely wanted to be there. Bit unfair that people like Anne who do nothing and don’t want to be there keep getting voted to stay in!”

However, others were quick to defend Anne.

One person said: “Anne is doing absolutely amazing, she deserves more credit than she’s getting given.”

Another tweeted: “Don’t get why Anne is getting so much hate on here, just leave her be. Good on her for actually wanting to try this adventure.”

“@anne_hegerty you are utterly amazing! Kind, brave and honest!” a third wrote.
