Controversies & Scandals

In late November 2018, Thompson-Dwyer’s fans took to social media and began accusing ITV of purposefully not allocating him enough screen time on ‘I’m a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!’ They demanded that ITV should show more of his personality and his alleged relationship with fellow contestant Nick Knowles. Some fans even lamented that they had almost forgotten that he was even on the show.
His fans were further disappointed when they found out in early December 2018 that he was the one who would be leaving the show that week. Some viewers spotted that he was the only contestant wearing his backpack when the announcement of his elimination was made. This led to speculations that Thompson-Dwyer already knew that he was going to be eliminated and that the show was fixed. ITV immediately addressed the issue, denying all allegations.
