Brits react to the I’m A Celebrity line-up

So far, Boy George and Jill Scott appear to have the backing of the British public as the show makes its return to Australia.

Of course, for the past two years, because of the pandemic, it has been filmed in Wales.

“Boy George will be so good!” said one.

“Boy George is gonna walk this,” declared another.

“Winning,” said another, posting Jill’s jungle mugshot.

“Easy win for Jill,” said another.

“Jill Scott will be in the final,” another predicted.
