I’m A Celebrity 2019: Caitlyn Jenner named new camp leader after viewer vote

A new camp leader has been crowned on I’m A Celebrity after a viewer vote.

James Haskell and Jacqueline Jossa were the first leader and deputy this series.

But their time in power came to an end tonight as viewers were instructed to pick a new leader.

James and Jacqueline weren’t eligible for the vote, which took place via the app.

With the most votes from viewers, Caitlyn Jenner was voted as the new camp leader.

The second highest votes and therefore deputy leader was announced as Andy.

“I told you about the power of Corrie mate,” said James to Andy.

The new leaders went off to change the roles of the other campmates ensuring they had different chores than before and mindful that if no rules were broken during their time in power, the camp would be rewarded.

In the Bush Telegraph Caitlyn admitted she was a bit scared of the responsibility. “I don’t want to mess up but I’m looking forward to it.” Andy added: “And I am just going to follow my Queen.”

They allocated cooking to Ian and Kate. Roman said in the Bush Telegraph: “Kate and Ian bicker at the best of times, I can’t wait to see them arguing over who is going to fillet the fish and chop the veg.”

Camp cleaners are now Roman and Nadine, washing up was given to Myles and Jacqueline. James and Nadine were given water duty. Camp gas is now Cliff and Andrew.

Sitting in her throne Caitlyn said: “I really feel good up here, I really feel a sense of power.”

In camp, Roman commented: “Queen Caitlyn, her reign begins, what a scary thought.” James added: “If you want to see a dictator we will see one now.”
