I’M A Celeb’s Nadine Coyle was left red-faced on last night’s instalment when she accidentally called Kiosk Kev “Keith”.
The 34-year-old songstress was so elated after winning the Dingo Dollar Challenge with Jacqueline Jossa, 27, she sang: “What has Kiosk Keith got for us today.”

However fans of the Jungle will know that Kiosk Keith, whose real name is Raymond Grant, was sacked from the show in 2017, and replaced with Kiosk Kev last year.
Despite Nadine correcting herself as she got to Kev’s hatch to pick up their chocolate cupcakes, viewers took to Twitter in their droves following the blunder.
One viewer wrote “Nadine calling kiosk kev keith is an entire mood #ImACeleb.”
“Did they just say Kiosk Keith? Awks #ImACeleb”, another asked.

A third wrote: “Seems like during the dingo dollar challenge, @NadineCoyleNow swapped Kiosk Kev back to Kiosk Keith #ImACeleb.”
While one fan jokingly commented that Nadine’s elimination from the jungle was karma for the slip-up.
A viewer joked: “Nadine left cause she called @KioskKev Keith #imaceleb”.
In 2018, The Sun Online revealed that Kiosk Keith had been sacked after he was accused of turning up drunk to work and behaving inappropriately towards a female colleague.
The 54-year-old was apparently drunk when he made the alleged unwanted advance towards a young female member of the crew on the IAC bus into work in the jungle.
Subsequently, TV bosses found a replacement for fan favourite Keith, who’s had been on the show since 2013, in Kev.
A source told The Sun Online: “It wasn’t unusual for Keith to turn up to work drunk as he’s done it before but this incident has shocked everyone.

“He was drunk when he got on the bus in the morning. Then he behaved inappropriately towards a female member of the team who’s half his age.
“It happened in front of loads of people, the girl was so upset. As soon as she made a complaint Keith was sacked. It’s good riddance really,” the insider added.
“We nicknamed him Hollywood because of his overnight fame.

“Everyone thought he was alright at first but people quickly started to go off him. Now he’s gone for good.”
The Australian labourer had worked on the show since 2002 when he helped to build the set for the ITV show.
Keith, a father-of-four, was handpicked by bosses for the role and was popular with the show’s stars including Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly.
