'I'm A Celebrity': James McVey And Nick Knowles Miss Out On Care Packages, And Viewers Are Not Happy

"Seeing them cry makes me want to sob."

‘I’m A Celebrity’ viewers were upset to see Nick Knowles and James McVey deprived of care packages in the most recent highlights episode.

During the show, Nick and James went alongside Anne Hegerty to try and win care packages for their teammates, by shooting as many terracotta pots with a crossbow as possible.

This being ‘I’m A Celebrity’, it wasn’t quite as easy as it sounds, with the three being covered in fish guts, crickets and other unpleasantries as they tried to take aim.

Between the three of them, they managed to win eight care packages for the camp, meaning three people would have to go without, as decided by Emperor Noel Edmonds and his advisor Harry Redknapp.

After conferring with one another, Noel and Harry decided that both Nick and James would be able to cope without their care packages (the former ‘Deal Or No Deal’ host got his automatically as “Emperor”.

Harry also chose himself as one of the stars to go without.

Nick and James both appeared tearful, but understanding, of the fact they wouldn’t be receiving a care package, although that didn’t stop viewers on Twitter voicing their disapproval, particularly after all the pair have done for the team in the last week…

So upset and fuming when James and Nick didn't get their care packages. You could see them trying to be strong and it's not fairrrr. They did the trial and haven't had a proper meal in days. Should've been people from the inner circle who didn't get theirs😠 #ImACeleb

James and Nick do a trial and give their place in the inner circle to the girls, giving up the chance for food.
James and Nick earn the care packages for their campmates and they end up not getting their own.
Nick gave his luxury item to Anne.
They deserve better #ImACeleb

James and Nick not getting their care packages made me so sad, they are both such lovely members of the camp, and seeing them talk about it again and showing the extra footage of James and Malique on Extra Camp made me want to cry so much 😭😭😭 #ImACeleb #ExtraCamp #TeamJames

Noel Edmonds was a late addition to the camp earlier this week, and swiftly began ruffling feathers, with a number of contestants feeling he was taking his role as “Emperor” a little too seriously.
