I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! viewers have been plagued by doubt throughout this entire series so far. First, they were convinced that the jungle evictees already knew they were leaving as some of them already had their bags packed - like Noel Edmonds and Malique Thompson-Dwyer.

However, ITV bosses quickly put paid to that rumour, telling us, "This is categorically not true. All celebrities find out who is leaving the jungle when Holly and Dec announce this on the show," and adding that it's up to the campmates how they prepare for the vote-off.

But fans of the show aren't content with the confirmation that this isn't true, and have picked up on a brand new theory about the show.

It was recently revealed that Noel Edmonds may be heading into the jungle this year and it's claimed he'll be the highest paid contestant ever at £600,000.

Taking to Twitter during last night's show (4th Dec), many viewers became convinced that the presenters Declan Donnelly and Holly Willoughby - who has stepped in temporarily for Ant McPartlin, who's taking time out of the spotlight - were not actually in the jungle at all.

In fact, they thought that the two hosts were stood in front of a green screen, and that the image of the jungle was being added in digitally.

One wrote, 'Did anyone think the picture looked a bit weird a second ago when @hollywills and @antanddec were on @imacelebrity? It looked like a bad green screen...' as another added, 'Just me or does it look like Holly's in front of a green screen?! Looked like they both were earlier', and another wrote, 'Funny how it’s ‘raining really heavily’ but you can’t see it in the background? Defo green screen.'

ITV bosses caught wind of the rumours, and told Digital Spy that the theory was 'absolute nonsense' - especially since the pair donned huge raincoats and umbrellas when they went down to camp at the end of the episode to reveal that Rita Simons was the latest campmate to be evicted from the jungle.

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! continues tonight at 9pm on ITV.
