Overview
- Seann Walsh became the first star sent home after Harry Redknapp, who lost the kings' eating trial to Jimmy Bullard on Thursday, was told to pick a teammate to leave.
- The series uses a producer-devised twist with two camp “kings” going head-to-head, and the losing leader must name someone from their own team to be eliminated because the show was filmed in advance without live voting.
- Viewers questioned an overnight task’s fairness after Gemma Collins’ handles tore from the wall while she was still gripping them, yet Scarlett Moffatt was ruled the winner.
- David Haye drew backlash for saying he would intercept the rival team’s delivered dinner, telling campmates that anything brought into the Lions’ area would be eaten.
- Harry Redknapp later acknowledged he accidentally called Seann “Stewart” while making the decision and said he even offered to leave himself before accepting the task.
