Beau Ryan's 'salty' reaction to I'm A Celebrity's fake influencer: 'Is he serious?'

The shock I'm A Celebrity 'twist' was finally revealed on Sunday night's episode, with the news that The David was in fact a fake influencer seemingly leaving fellow campmate Beau Ryan completely 'mind-blown'.

The former NRL star appeared particularly betrayed by the revelation that David - who had been posing as a shoe designer and influencer with millions of followers - was really just a guy from the Gold Coast called David Subritzky, with fans taking to Twitter saying the former NRL star needed to "calm down".

Beau Ryan had the biggest reaction to the revelation, even questioning whether UK star Joey Essex was 'real'.

"I've had full-blown conversations with him. I can't work it out. Like... I can't... What the hell? Joey Essex is real, yeah?" he asked in his piece to camera.

"I'm in shock. I feel like I'm the only person down there spinning out about it.

"Everyone's like, 'Whoa! Whoa!' And I'm just like, just think about everything that's transpired over the last week, and none of it's true. Is his name even David? Is it? I'm like, 'What the hell's going on?'"
