Fans excited to see Reggie Bird on I'm A Celebrity

"Now I will be watching … I’m putting it out there that’s she is going to win," one person said.

I'm a Celebrity fans threaten to boycott the show after Raygun clue

It comes after plenty of fans said they'd boycott the show if Raygun was on it.

One competitor on the show is known as The Olympian, but so far, all clues point to Rachael 'Raygun' Gunn, and audiences are quite unimpressed.

In one video, The Olympian revealed three emojis that are clues to their identity. The Olympian's emojis are the kangaroo, a croissant and a baseball cap.

Of course, this immediately sent viewers into a tailspin, with many saying that the clues are very obviously referencing Raygun, who did a kangaroo-like dance move during her breakdancing routine at the Paris Olympic Games while wearing a green cap.

"If it's Raygun, I'm not watching," one Instagram user said.

"Our household will not be watching if Raygun is on," another said. "This will be the last year for the show of she’s on it too, as ratings will tank. You should listen to your viewers."

"Hope it's not the break dancer because she is NOT a celebrity, and I seriously won't be watching if it's her," a third said.

"If it is Raygun I'm boycotting," a fourth wrote.

"Way to ruin the show," someone else said.

A few people were keen to see Raygun on the show, with one person writing, "Please be Raygun, I swear it would be so funny."

"I know it’s controversial and I’ll be in the minority but I’ll definitely be supporting Raygun if she’s in the jungle," another agreed.
