Fans of I'm A Celebrity have shared their excitement over the public vote for the first eviction of the new series opening, amid a warning from some viewers this week.
It was announced on Thursday night's episode that the vote to save campmates from eviction would be opening later in the evening. Host Ant McPartlin revealed moments into the ITV show: "At the end of tonight we'll open the vote for you to choose the celebrities you'd like to keep in camp." Declan Donnelly later confirmed that fans would be able to "get behind the celebrities you want to save" once open.
The vote marks the first time this series that fans are voting over who remains in camp, with previous votes having been to determine who takes on bushtucker trials. The campmates will instead now decide who takes on the next trial. The news prompted excitement from some viewers this week.
Viewers shared their thoughts on X, formerly known as Twitter. A number expressed hope that Dean McCullough will be the first to leave. One wrote: "OMG VOTING IS FINALLY OPEN NOW DEAN CAN LEAVE YAAAASSS."
Another said: "OMG VOTING IS FINALLY OPEN NOW DEAN CAN LEAVE." A third wrote: "VOTE HIM OUT BRITISH PUBLIC!" Someone else suggested in a post on Thursday: "Can we as a nation please agree to vote out [Dean] first."
One fan said: "Ant & Dec announcing we can save/*kick* them out. Which finally means people. Get Dean out." Someone said: "DEAN WILL BE FINALLY LEAVING. THANK F**K." One fan wrote: "Finally the voting to save starts. Get Dean out!"

Although some fans have speculated that he's been playing up his fear for screen time, others have a "wimp". One fan suggested, through a gif, that he was a "coward" on Thursday.
Some fans warned others over the vote, reminding that it's to save - rather than evict. One commented: "Vote to save, not kick out." Another said: "Remember tonight we start voting for who we want to keep! Vote wisely peeps!"
A third wrote: "I'm hoping everyone has finally learnt that it's always VOTE TO SAVE / KEEP." Among the other posts on the platform that included similar reminders was one that read: "Remember its a vote to keep in, not to boot out." One fan said: "Remember to vote your FAVOURITE not the one you want out."
I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! airs every night at 9pm on ITV1, STV and ITVX.
