  Fans have vented their fury via Twitter after Rebecca Adlington was exempted from competing in a Bush Tucker Trial for a second time on Monday night's episode of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
While the jungle-based reality show's contestants have been kept in the dark about the reasons surrounding the former Olympic champion's unknown medical issue, viewers haven't been shy in making their feelings known via Twitter.
The swimmer's exclusion from another gruesome activity marks the second time she has been let off from taking part during her stint on the ITV1 series.
And the furore has forced her fiancé Harry Needs to deny the Olympic gold medallist is pregnant.

Medical exemption: Rebecca Adlington was again made exempt from the live trial due to unknown medical reasons

One fan wrote on Twitter: 'Why is @BeckAdlington excused from all these trials? What is the point of going in if you can't do anything?'

Another added: 'So basically, Rebecca Adlington OBE,Olympic Gold Medalist can't do any bushtucker trial on "medical reasons" so why is she there? #imaceleb.'
While another furious viewer vented: '@ITV We are told Rebecca Adlington is claustrophobic so what the hell is she doing in the jungle #cantplaythegame.'
Fiancé Harry Needs spoke out on Twitter to counter rumours the I'm a Celebrity contestant is pregnant.

Anger: Fans of the jungle-based reality show have vented their fury at the Olympic swimming champion's second exclusion from a Bush Tucker Trial

Needs told his followers: 'I can honestly say hand on heart, she's not...' before joking: 'Unless something went on in the jungle without me?'
The sportsman shot down the rumours after Rebecca's unknown illness led many to draw the conclusion that she must be pregnant.
One Twitter user wrote: 'Rebecca Adlington must be pregnant the fact she can't do any of the trials.'
While another concurred:'I bet Rebecca Adlington is pregnant because she is ruled out of everything on medical grounds!'
Meanwhile, some suggested that being unable to take part in the typically harrowing tasks could make her more unpopular with the public when she eventually emerges from the jungle.

Comfting: Matthew Wright puts his arms around a tearful Rebecca - the chat show host has also been made exempt from a trial 

One pointed out: 'Why is @BeckAdlington on #imaceleb She cant expect to get what she wants career wise if she's not playing the game #AnnoyingCamper.'
And Rebecca's exclusion from the Bush Tucker Trials doesn't appear to have gone down too well with her fellow camp-mates either, with TV presenter Matthew Wright said to have been surprised by the Olympic gold medal winner’s lack of competitive spirit.
A source told The Sun: ‘Playing the medical card more than once is a risky game, as people will begin to question whether she is trying as hard as she should be.’

But Rebecca isn’t the first contestant on this year’s I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! to be excused from a task on doctor’s orders.

Team spirit: Rebecca took part in the Grot Tubs challenge alongside David Emanuel and Matthew Wright on Monday

Both David Emanuel and Matthew Wright were ruled out of the Hang Glider From Hell task in episode five.
But the the jungle insider revealed even ITV employees in the camp don’t know what the medical conditions are that allow celebrities to controversially skip trials.

The source added: ‘We don’t always know exactly why a celebrity has been made exempt, but we take the medical team’s verdict seriously, as the safety of the contestants  is paramount.’

A spokesperson for ITV added: ‘Rebecca was exempt from both trials on medical grounds.’

Swimming champion: Rebecca became worried about revealing her body after model Amy Willerton was in the shower

This is the latest in a series of woes for the 24-year-old sportswoman; who has broke down in tears on several occasions over the past week.
Rebecca has openly argued with outspoken TV star Matthew Wright, and admitted glamour model Amy Willerton made her feel insecure about her athletic figure.
As she was comforted by fellow campers, she bemoaned: 'It’s making me very, very  insecure that I have to look [a  certain way]. For me, I was an athlete.
'I wasn’t trying to be a model, but pretty much every single week on Twitter I get somebody commenting on the way I look.’
