Last night, I'm a Celebrity crowned it's new Queen of the Jungle, Vicky Pattison - the show was a lively one but once again, it's come under fire this series for how animals are treated. Some animal charities (like Peta- People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) have raised concerns about the use of live animals during trials. This was particularly the case during Ferne McCann's trial where she ate a number of things including a live spider. The show also saw live crickets, cockroaches and snakes used. It's not just animal charities who are worried, the watching public was too, so much so, Ofcom received 553 complaints last night alone. So - do you think animals aren't treated like they should be in these shows? ITV does say that they comply with all the necessary regulations, do we treat the "cute and cuddly" animals better than the others? Have your say in the comments below.
