I'm A Celeb fans were left in hysterics after Melvin Odoom's family and friends made a nod to a major mistake on the show. The radio DJ's social media profile picture was swapped out for a snap of Irish beauty Maura Higgins following a blunder by producers on the ITV show.

As Maura chatted to the camera in camp, the caption wrongly stated it was Melvin. It wasn't the only mistake as McFly star Danny Jones was also incorrectly captioned as Radio 1 star Dean McCullough on Friday night's episode.

Fans immediately picked up on the mistake - as did Melvin's family and friends who are running his X account while he is in the jungle. One fan wrote: "Whoever is running melvin’s account deserves an award #ImACeleb."

A second commented: "Melvin looks different #ImACeleb #imaceleb2024."

A third added: "Anyone notice earlier, when Maura was talking they put her name as “Melvin Odoom” had a stinker there."

Melvin was earlier involved in controversy in the camp, After winning over viewers with his kindness, he was called out for being 'the real villain' after it was revealed he had smuggled contraband into camp.

Melvin had five cupcakes deducted from his prize for the rule break after bringing in salt from home. He defended his actions, saying he had wanted the campmates to experience just one flavorful meal during their time in the Australian jungle.

Melvin also revealed he had a major crush on Countdown star Carol Vorderman on the ITV show as he revealed the items he had brought from home to keep him going. He unveiled a pillow adorned with family photos and the surprising addition of Countdown icon Carol.

“My dad, my mum and Carol Vorderman. My crush,” he confessed. He later told the Bushtucker Telgraph: "I have been a fan of Carol Vorderman for a very long time, in fact I have a little rap,” he shared. “I know a woman so fine, she's mature like a fine wine. The mandem can't comprehend my 10 out of 10 Carol Vorderman, woo I wanna work her out, check your DMs girl and I'll be waiting."
