| Updated:

I’m A Celebrity has been hit with “fix” claims after viewers were unable to vote on the show’s app.

For the first time in the ITV reality series, Jordan North was free from competing in the dreaded challenge, with Mo Farah being selected to face Fort Locks.

However, fans were left fuming as the app unexpectedly crashed for half of the voting time.

According to some, they were left with just five minutes to place their votes.

One tweeted: “It’s a fix – the app isn’t working for me to vote @jordannorth1 into another trial.”

A second fumed: “It’s gonna be a fix, can’t voteeeeee #ImACeleb.”

A third complained: “How were people supposed to vote when the app wasn’t working? #ImACeleb.”

As he tried to move a star along a metal frame, Jordan said: “Don’t think about it, happy place, happy place!

“Come on Jordan. Don’t panic. We’re going to feed the house tonight.”

As thousands of critters dropped on him, he battled through and added: “I’m not thinking about it.”

In the end, the radio presenter won the group 12 out of 12 stars.

Meanwhile, Giovanna Fletcher surprised the group with S Club 7’s hit track Reach for her luxury item.

Explaining her choice, she said: “I know you’re all really excited about my one. I thought something to lift our spirits and give us a bit of a boogie.”

Other luxury items included Beverley Callard’s hairbrush and Shane Richie’s Disney Princess shower gel.
