I’m A Celebrity South Africa fans have spotted a shocking blunder during the latest Bushtucker Trial, leaving many wondering how Craig Charles could have won. The eating challenge, which saw Gemma Collins and Craig face off in a grueling test involving 30 shots of pig’s blood, had viewers questioning the integrity of the trial after an apparent mistake in the editing.
The trial, which was aired on Wednesday night, followed a dramatic cliffhanger from the previous episode. Gemma, who had taken on the challenge with determination, began struggling early on and ultimately quit, while Craig powered through, securing victory for his camp.
But viewers at home were not impressed. As the camera zoomed in on Craig’s shot glasses after he was declared the winner, fans immediately noticed something odd. “I’m not being funny, but those glasses aren’t empty,” one viewer posted on X, while another wrote, “Are those shot glasses not supposed to be empty?”

The issue quickly escalated, with more fans chiming in: “His shot glasses aren’t even empty. Some of them are still half full,” and “Most of Craig’s ‘empty’ shots are still half full.” Others were furious, asking, “How did he win when they’re all half full?” The outrage was palpable as viewers began questioning the legitimacy of the challenge.
Adding fuel to the fire, many pointed out the differences in editing from previous seasons. As the series was pre-recorded last year, the show’s format has strayed from the live, fast-paced style that fans are used to. The frequent cliffhangers, ads, and dramatic pauses have caused frustration among viewers.

“This is not what I’m A Celebrity should be,” one viewer tweeted, with another adding, “The editing is boring now.” Complaints continued to pour in: “Another cliffhanger, oh how original,” and “Too many ads, challenges, and cliffhanger endings.”
With the drama continuing to unfold on social media, fans are calling for the show to return to its roots and reclaim the excitement that made it a fan favorite. Will I’m A Celebrity South Africa be able to fix these blunders, or is it heading for a major fall from grace? Time will tell… but viewers are certainly keeping a close eye on every shot.
