The reason there are no phone numbers on I'm A Celebrity campmates uniforms

A change to this year's I'm A Celebrity means campmates will no longer have phone numbers printed onto their backs. Usually each celebrity has a long and a short number assigned to them which viewers will use to vote.

The reason celebrities will no longer be sporting numbers is because ITV has changed the way viewers cast their votes this year. Fans will be not able to vote using phone numbers and instead must use an app to support their favourite celebrities.

When the new series aired on Sunday, November 17, fans were quick to point out the change. One fan took to X, formerly known as Twitter to voice their concerns. @Samgardiner29 said: "Feels weird that no one has a phone number on their back this year" another added "All of the t-shirts having full government names on the back rather than their first names and a phone number is sending me."

A further concerned fan said: "They better not rob us of the classic “call the…short number!” others said "no phone lines to vote this year then I'm gonna miss hearing “The short number” being said" and "hate that they have their full name on the back of their shirts and no number to call it looks stupid."

The app is available to download either via the App Store or Play Store. It is free to download and includes many other features including polls and interactive quizzes. This year's I'm A Celeb line-up has many famous face including McFly's Danny Jones, Former Strictly dancer Oti Mabuse, Coronation Street star Alan Halsall and Coleen Rooney.
