Thursday’s I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! saw presenter Vernon Kay and Radio 1 DJ Jordan North make a controversial choice during their castle coin challenge.
Dressed as elves, the pair were tasked with listening to phone calls from children who told them what they wanted for Christmas.
As the requests were in Welsh, Vernon and Jordan had to work out what they wanted, and wrap up their present while wearing oversized mittens.
They won the challenge, and Kiosk Cledwyn offered them a choice of mince pies or chocolate orange as their treat.
When the stars selected mince pies, viewers were furious.

They took to Twitter to air their outrage, as one wrote: “Who the f*** picks mince pies over chocolate orange!”
While another wrote: “They’ve chose mince pies over chocolate orange?! Wtf?”
“Low-key disgusted they chose mince pies over chocolate orange”, penned a third.
Some viewers thought they made the right decision, as one defended the pair and said: “I’m not surprised they picked mince pies, I would if, mince pies is more filling than chocolate in my opinion.”

However, the majority of viewers were outraged at their choice.
Presenter Dec Donnelly even waded in on their selection too.
He replied to a tweet that said: “Mince pies over chocolate orange?!?!
@antanddec sort it out”.

Dec wrote: “Don’t…..even….Some of their choices this year have been scandalous.”
It was just Vernon, Shane, Jordan and Giovanna left in the castle, and the foursome took part in the iconic Celebrity Cyclone.
At the end of tonight’s episode, Shane Richie was voted off.
He came fourth in the ITV show, and just missed out on a place in the final.
I’m a Celeb continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV.
