I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! 2021 kicked off on Sunday with nail-biting challenges and a new cohort of famous faces.  

But viewers were left unimpressed by this year's lineup, which includes Richard Madeley, Frankie Bridge, Naughty Boy, Arlene Phillips, David Ginola, Danny Miller, Snoochie Shy, Kadeena Cox, Matty Lee, and Louise Minchin. 

Many took to Twitter to vent their frustrations, stating that they had 'no idea' who the contestants were and that Ant and Dec were the 'only celebrities' on the show.

One disgruntled fan wrote: 'Is it just me or does anyone else think these celebrities are getting worse each year?' 

Another echoed: 'I'm a celebrity, get me out of here - Is it just me or does anyone else think these celebrities are getting worse each year?' 

A third person added: 'Only celebrities this year are ant & dec apparently,' while another wrote: 'I haven't a clue who these celebrities are like...' 

Another viewer joked: 'Brave move from I'm A Celeb to decide not to get any actual celebrities this year...'

The launch of this year's I'm A Celeb series saw Snoochie and Louise win the terrifying plank challenge. 

The pair and some of their fellow celebrities had to take it in pairs to walk across a rig in the Walk The Plank task in order to win keys to have access to the main camp in the Castle and to eat that night.

After the task the radio DJ  gave Louise an emotional hug as Ant and Dec revealed that she would be joining Louise on the red team.

Not into it: 'Is it just me or does anyone else think these celebrities are getting worse each year?' one disgruntled fan wrote as many others echoed their opinion

Explaining the challenge before they started host Declan Donnelly said: 'The winning team will get to pick which two celebrities from the other group will represent them in the next challenge.'

Co-host Ant McPartlin said: 'The team that wins the keys will have access to the main camp in the Castle, where you will get a bed, and you will eat tonight. 

'Whilst the losers will be banished to the Castle Clink and be on basic rations. Not the place you want to be.' 

Once the gameplay was established they all turned to look at the terrifying planks.

Dec said: 'In front of you are two planks, which get narrower as you progress out over the quarry. 

'You must step over the gaps in the planks and make your way to the yellow gameplay zone at the end, which is 213 feet above the lake. Once you are both there, the game will begin.'

Ant said: 'Between the planks is a stack of lights. The red lights will start to flash and when the green light comes on, you must press the button with your foot. The first celebrity to hit their button will win and the loser will be dropped from their plank.'

Here we go: Snoochie looked terrified as she prepared to take on the challenge

First up was Louise vs Danny, they walked to the start of their planks and Ant and Dec asked them how they were feeling.

Louise looked at her plank and said: 'I can't think of many things worse than this right now, it's terrifying.'

Danny sarcastically said 'I can't wait', Ant turned to Dec and said 'A
