Tonight's episode of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! on ITV was packed with action, following a day that had given the campmates a deceptive sense of calm.
Earlier in the show, Strictly Come Dancing star Oti Mabuse was overjoyed to discover she had won immunity from the public vote after her performance in the Battle Blocks challenge.
While Oti had successfully secured her spot in the renowned Celebrity Cyclone challenge, the rest of the contestants remained at risk of being voted out.
Presenters Ant and Dec announced live on air which celebrities would be the fifth and sixth stars to exit the 2024 series in a harsh double elimination, reports Plymouth Live.
Ultimately, it was Barry McGuigan and Maura Higgins who were shown the door, with the other celebs narrowly escaping eviction.
Upon learning he had been voted off, Barry explained it was "hard to know with the general public how well you're doing". He also added he was "gutted" to miss out on the Celebrity Cyclone. However, he added that he had still had "an incredible time".
Following the unexpected double elimination, viewers of I'm A Celeb took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to voice their opinions on the results.
One disgruntled viewer vented: "For gods sake out of all people you just have to kick out the irish campmates? Thats a bit of a fix tbh because I wanted Maura to be in the final four but im so happy Danny is safe." (sic)
Another fan concurred: "fix fix fix." (sic)
However, one more fan reasoned: "It's not a fix if you favourite doesn't win."
A fourth viewer expressed their disappointment, complaining: "Robbed of watching Maura doing the Cyclone. The British public can’t be trusted to vote for anything."
"MAURA NOOOOOOOOOO," another wrote, as one more penned with a tearful emoji: "I’m so upset Maura has gone." (sic)
Barry fans were also up in arms, as one wrote: "Danny looks heartbroken Barry’s gone why public whyyyy." (sic)
Meanwhile, another viewer noted that both Irish contestants had been voted out, writing with a tearful emoji: "Both the Irish are gone in one night"
"Fuming that we can't vote from Ireland," another tweeted.
Earlier in the programme, Oti triumphed over Danny Jones, Coleen Rooney, and Maura Higgins to secure her place in everyone's favourite challenge - the Celebrity Cyclone.
With high stakes, Ant and Dec outlined what they'd be up against in their intense Battle Blocks challenge.
Each star was positioned within one of four gaming zones. Scattered in these zones were ten battle blocks that they had to locate and extract, arranging them on a grid before them to form an impeccable rectangle.
The first contestant to successfully position all their battle blocks into the grid and dash to hit the golden buzzer would triumph with the Ticket to Cyclone.
Ant quipped: "Even though you press the golden buzzer that doesn't mean you're through to the live shows of Britain's Got Talent, that's a different show, don't get confused."
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV and ITVX.
