I'm A Celeb fans slam Coming Out show after 'random' GK Barry moment

Some I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here fans have slammed the annual Coming Out show after it left them feeling disappointed, including an 'awkward' moment with GK Barry.

The special episode of the ITV reality show is aired following the end of each series and usually promises to give a glimpse behind the scenes.

It also follows the famous faces as they leave the jungle and are reunited with their friends and family in the glitzy surroundings of a five-star hotel.

This year, I'm A Celebrity Coming Out was aired on Friday (December 13), five days after McFly star Danny Jones was crowned the new King of the Jungle.

However, many viewers were left less than impressed with this year's edition and made their feelings clear.

Fans slammed the show and took to social media to air their disappointment.

Many felt that despite it airing nearing a week after the final, it felt like it wasn't as carefully put together as previous installments.

One fan said: "After such an excellent series a very badly put together and rushed coming out was." Another added: "The coming out show is so rushed now. Used to get so much footage, and even clips of them actually arriving into the UK. I hope they listen to us for next year. Still a brill show, and I still loved it!"

Others suggested that while Ant and Dec hosted and ran through highlights, there was too much footage of what audiences had already seen.

This surprised many since viewers had seen relatives appear on companion show I'm A Celeb Unpacked talk about how much they had bonded and spent time together while their loved ones were in the jungle.

One person said: "The Coming Out show used to be so much better when we saw the reactions of the family and friends waiting when each celeb got voted out."

There was new footage in the show but it was limited. It included Love Island star Maura Higgins taking part in a skydive, as she missed out on the original activity at the start of the series being a late arrival to camp.

Radio hosts Dean McCullough and Melvin Odoom also shared a drink and discussed their time in camp. Dean complained about the nickname he gained as he skipped camp chores.

Podcaster GK Barry also took part in a surfing lesson on the beach but fans dismissed all these moments as 'random' additions. One viewer said: "That #ImACeleb coming out show was c***! We'd already seen most of that, then it was about a minute of them in their hotel & that's it. (Apart from the random longer bit of GK surfing?!?) The party looked rubbish too. What a shame when this series was decent."

Another was also disappointed about what was shown of the apparent after party, which Ant and Dec were absent from. They posted: "The party looked so dead & Ant & Dec didn't even go to the camp. And there was so much random features like GK Barry going surfing. This wasn't a great Coming Out show."

I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here continues next year, catch up on series 24 on ITVX.
