Martin was pranked by the royal camp

Published 25th Nov 2016

He’s one of the most marmite celebrities ever to appear on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here and now viewers of the show are totally divided over the treatment that Martin Roberts is receiving in the camp.

On last night’s show viewers watched on as camp royals, Adam Thomas, Wayne Bridge, Ola Jordan and Sam Quek won a bar of chocolate after successfully working out how to transfer the swamp water in the dingo dollar challenge.

But when they were asked to decide if they wanted to keep the chocolate for themselves or ration it out amongst the ‘subjects’, the group had a tough decision…

Earlier in the show viewers witnessed Martin trying to sabotage the royal camp when he was playing servant for Adam. The Homes Under The Hammer presenter deliberately tripped over with a cup of water, leaving Adam soaked. Martin’s antics didn’t end there, the dad-of-two then packed Adam’s pillow with ants and leaves from the camp floor.

Speaking in the bush telegraph, Adam warned Martin he would get his ‘payback’. So when it was time to decide if they were going to share the chocolate, all four chose to get their own back on Martin for his ‘childish’ behaviour towards Adam earlier in the day.

As Adam, Wayne, Ola and Sam called each camp member individually to get their single piece of chocolate, Martin was pranked by Adam who placed the chocolate in his mouth rather than Martin’s hand.

Some viewers loved the scene and believed it’s what Martin deserved…

Others didn’t approve of the treatment, with some even branding it ‘bullying’.

The show, which is currently gripping the nation, continues every evening at 9pm.

In tonight’s episode viewers will see the end of the royal task and discover which celebrities are immune from the first vote off.
