‘I’m A Celeb’ Producers Show Zero Mercy For Casey Donovan W/ Catfish Prank

 

The first episode of ‘I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here‘ aired last night, and wooooowwwweeeeeeee – they pulled one hell of a prank on contestant Casey Donovan. 

The former Australian Idol was, at one point, in a tank filled with water and, err… a certain type of fish.

ICYMI, a story surfaced early last year about the singer, who was the victim of a tragic hoax relationship for six whole years. 

She believed herself to be dating a man called Campbell via what she believed to be a set-up through a friend of a friend. 

Turns out, after six years and many cancelled IRL plans with Campbell, she was actually dating ‘Campbell’s friend’ – a woman called Olga. (You can read more about it HERE.)

Donovan was very open about her experience being ‘catfished’, which the ‘I’m a Celebrity‘ producers clearly took as a sign that she was totally chill being being surrounded by them IRL.

Because, yeah… she was in a tank of water, surrounded by actual catfish. And at one point, legitimately yelled out, 

And thus, the jokes begin. 

Casey Donovan in a tank full of catfish is just too meta for me #ImACelebrityAU

Surely just a coincidence that Casey Donovan has to deal with catfish in the jungle too. #ImACelebrityAU

Casey Donovan identified the fish as catfish. And she should know a catfish when she sees one. #ImACelebrityAU
