Ant and Dec throw the I\u2019m A Celebrity<\/a> camp into chaos – when they make a ‘king’ axe one of his loyal servants in the first eviction of the series. The Mirror<\/a> can reveal that the kings of the two tribes – Harry Redknapp<\/a> and Jimmy Bullard – will go head-to-head in a trial on the ITV<\/a> show tonight.<\/p>\n

But what they don\u2019t realise is the loser not only loses the trial but will also lose one of it\u2019s team. They then have to decide which member of Team Lion or Team Rhino goes home from South African and becomes the first evictee.<\/p>\n

A show source said: \u201cIt\u2019s a great twist for this series, the kings of the jungle really do hold a lot of power. But the tables are turned and having watched the others do bushbucker trials they end up having to do one themselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd their is a twist to come, as one of them will have to make a horrible decision. Jimmy or Harry will be showing one of their own team the red card, and evicting them from the show. It\u2019s a wicked twist and viewers will love how it all plays out.\u201d<\/p>\n

More details of the head-to-head trial and the eviction are expected to be played out in tonight\u2019s episode of I\u2019m A Celebrity on ITV.<\/p>\n

This week\u2019s episodes have been dominated by David Haye. First he made comments about his girlfriend and women in general which many people found sexist.<\/p>\n

And then last night he said despite the Lions losing the latest challenge that he was going to steal the bag of food when it arrives, before it could reach the Rhinos in the camp, which is currently split in two.<\/p>\n

The show will have evictions thick and fast in the coming days, ahead of a final on Friday April 24 where viewers will be able to vote for their winner who will be crowned a jungle \u2018Legend\u2019.<\/p>\n

* I’m A Celebrity South Africa continues on ITV and ITVX tonight at 9pm.<\/p>\n
