fans spotted two glaring gaffes in Friday’s episode of the ITV show.

Armchair critics took to social media to lambast a series of editing slip-ups, with celebs being mismatched with the wrong names on screen.

In a particularly noticeable mix-up, McFly star Danny Jones, 38, was mislabelled as Radio 1’s Dean McCullough while he was speaking in the Bush Telegraph.

Another blunder saw star Maura Higgins, 33, introduced with a caption meant for Melvin Odoom, the 44-year-old TV presenter and Radio 1 DJ.

X, formerly Twitter, was flooded with ridicule from fans as one wrote: “The editing team tonight need to be fired. They’ve mixed up campmates’ names several times.”

Another declared: “Issues with names tonight Danny was Dean and Maura was Melvin.”

“What’s happening with the names today??? Danny was in the telegraph apparently it was Dean and Maura was Melvin,” probed a third viewer.

Another fan humorously pointed out: “The names are cracking me up. Dean and Melvin look different!”

“Who proofs this before it goes on air?!?” asked a fifth baffled viewer as another claimed: “This is EXTREMELY poor #imaceleb.”

It comes after Maura and Reverend Richard Coles . Unbeknownst to the other campmates, the new arrivals have been given a life of luxury since arriving in the jungle.

However, after arrived at the junkyard to hand them their dirty dishes, about what was really going on in the other camp.

“I got this look and it was like they’re not telling us the truth. I think there’s something not right,” Coleen told her fellow campmates.

Shortly after, the celebrities began piecing the events of the last few days together, noticing that Maura smelt “amazing” during their visit to the junkyard, despite supposedly being covered in fish guts during a trial with Melvin.

Everything quickly fell into place for Danny, who realised that Maura and Richard’s appearance during their trip to the High Street of Horrors didn’t look like they had really taken part in a trial.
