I’m a Celebrity.,..Get Me Out Of Here! fans think Babatunde Aléshé could have a game plan after he completed one challenge with apparent ease.
The popular contestant was seen taking on the Horrifying Heights bushtucker trial as he tried to win meals for his campmates by searching for stars in a treetop course.
Babatunde was seen harnessed up to a stack of metal rings connected by ladders and suspended high above the jungle.

The star was further impeded by heavy rainfall.
Despite his clear discomfort with the task at hand, he managed to complete the course in time, collecting all nine stars for his campmates.

But fans were left questioning his fear – particularly after shouting I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here on the launch night during a height-based task, accusing him of waging a “PR stunt”.
“I call BS on Babatunde’s fear of heights. PR stunt worked #ImACeleb,” said one viewer.
“Babatunde when I ask him if he was faking his fear of heights in episode one to get a redemption story on the next trial and win over his campmates and the thick general public #ImACeleb ” a third said.

While a fourth believed it was a tactic to avoid getting picked for the creepy crawly challenges.
“Babatunde faking fear in the first trial so he’d get picked for more height stuff to avoid the creepy crawlies is genius #ImACeleb.”
Many fans defended him, though, saying: “As if people think Babatunde was faking his fear of heights! You could see it in his face he was petrified! #ImACeleb.”

The 36-year old had a tough introduction to the show when he was challenged with walking a plank from the roof of a skyscraper and jumping from the end of it attached to a bungee rope during his first few hours in the series.
However, Aléshé’s fear of heights saw him unable to join Charlene White and Jill Scott in completing the task as he backed away from the plank and told hosts Ant and Dec that he couldn’t do it.
Another agreed, blasting: “Scared of heights my arse, playing the game well.”
