This year's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! only started two days ago, but the UK is already going bananas for it
As well as Ant McPartlin being MIA this year, we were also told that Kiosk Keith wouldn't be returning (but there is a good reason, tbf...). So his replacement, Kiosk Kev, would be the one dealing with the jungle gang at the Outback Shack when they spent their Dingo Dollars.
ITV confirmed in January that there were no plans to bring back Kiosk Keith – played by crew-member Raymond Grant – after allegations of inappropriate on-set behaviour.
"[Kiosk Keith actor Raymond Grant] is no longer under contract on the show,” a show spokesperson told Digital Spy at the time.
“There are no plans for him to return this year.”
Last night, we met Kiosk Kev for the first time when Fleur East and Anne Hegerty (dressed as elves) arrived at the Outback Shack to answer a trivia question correctly in exchange for hummus or scones.
But viewers (who I'm guessing didn't get the memo about the "inappropriate on-set behaviour") weren't happy with their new shopkeeper.
I personally love Kiosk Kev because I'm massively into bushy beards, weather-beaten skin and a wardrobe made up entirely of khaki shorts and walking boots. Plus he probably smells like leather and insect repellant, and you know that’s hot.
People started asking questions during the last series of I’m A Celeb when Kiosk Keith was temporarily replaced by Kiosk Kath. At the time, Ant and Dec said that Keith had fallen ill.
Raymond is yet to comment on his termination from the show.
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here is on every night on ITV.
