Viewers aren't sure about Heather Maltman and Joel Creasey's hosting skills.

The new series of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here premiered last night, and so did its offshoot series I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here NOW!

The show is hosted by former jungle inhabitant Joel Creasey, 25, and former The Bachelor contestant Heather Maltman, 29, and it’d be generous to describe the reaction to their presenting efforts as mixed.

Maltman acknowledged that the feedback hasn’t been all positive, referring to her detractors as “poo heads”.

+ These “hosts” are trying way to hard and it’s coming across so cringeworthy. #ImACelebrityAU #IACNOW

I think my fellow viewers of #IACNow will agree when I say I would rather be mauled by a tiger than have to endure another episode of this. — Kobi J A VanBennekom (@kobijv) January 31, 2016

So have had a few poo heads since the first ep. To you I send love and light. Cause I’m not going to stop being me and getting amongst it. Had heaps of cool people get silly and get involved. To you I say “toot on son, toot on!!!” Have been asked to start posting the outfits for the show. So here you are great people in the land of Instagram.

#ImACelebrityAU #IACNow Awful. Embarrassing. Stop. Please. ???? — Jo✌ (@joferguson9) January 31, 2016

Like other reality programs of its ilk, such as Big Brother‘s various “companion” shows, I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here NOW! aims to milk interest in the show for all it’s worth.

“Our show will be even more interactive,” Creasey told the Courier Mail before the show’s debut.

“If you’re a fan, Heather and I can respond to you by social media, on the screen, by phoning in. You’ll be able to speak to us and give your opinion. There’s nothing else on TV like it.”

And, well, there may never again be, if the poo heads get their way.
