I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! is back in 2022 and each episode, the challenges and trials have got fans talking. From Matt Hancock being voted in continuously to the eating challenges turning people’s stomachs, there are tonnes of viewers taking to Twitter to voice their opinions as series 22 airs.
Babatunde Aleshe is one of this year’s contestants and fans can’t help but notice that he isn’t taking part in the show’s water challenges. Many of the show’s viewers are tweeting why they think the comedian isn’t getting stuck in when it comes to trials involving H2O.

Fans think they know why Babatunde is exempt from water challenges
When it comes to shows to tweet along to, ITV’s I’m A Celebrity is certainly one that creates a lot of conversation online.
This year, Twitter fans are out in force as different celebrities are eating things they shouldn’t, getting covered in slime, and persevering while being covered in creepy crawlies.
As many have observed that comedian Babatunde isn’t partaking in the water trials on the show, they have come up with their own reasons as to why they think he is exempt from water challenges.
One viewer tweeted: “Starting to think Babatunde can’t swim cos he’s always exempt from water challenges.”
Another suggested that he could have asthma, while more suggested it could be related to swimming: “For anyone wondering why Babatunde is once again exempt from the latest trial… it’s cos he can’t swim/go under water.”
Someone else tweeted: “Either babatunde can’t swim or he has a medical condition like mine that doesn’t allow water in ears or high water pressure.”
Reality Titbit and GRV Media have contacted ITV for comment.

Fans loved Babatunde’s ‘booty’ comment
Trials aside, Babatunde has had some entertaining moments on the ITV show so far.
