I'm A Celebrity viewers praised Fred Siriex for calling out the "elephant in the room" on tonight's show.
The First Dates host is bidding to be crowned King of the Jungle in this season's edition of the ITV programme. The latest series has come under fire after Nigel Farage was controversially added to the line-up.
The former UKIP leader was involved in a fiery spat with Fred on tonight's show when he was called out to explain what the benefits of Brexit have been. The UK officially withdrew from the European Union on January 31 and Mr Farage claimed the vote was to bring back control to borders.

However, Fred slammed the way Mr Farage campaigned during the vote in 2016 as he said: "It's the intolerance that came because Brexit was about immigration. I thought it was shameful what you did. It was about demonising migrants."
Fred added: "I think the average person in the UK has lost out because of what you've done." Viewers following the show on social media platform X praised Fred for refusing to back down from Mr Farage.
David said: "Fred putting Nigel in his place"
Narinder added: "Fred definitely won the argument there with Nigel."
Michael posted: "Massive respect to Fred for standing his ground and challenging Nigel instead of running away from the issue"
Megan commented: "Fred is not holding back"
Lily said: "Fred putting N*gel in his place."
Leanne said: "I love how Fred is not afraid to point out the elephants in the room."
