Charlotte announces she’s set for the jungle, and fans are FUMING

Oct 31, 2016

So, yesterday former Geordie Shore star, Charlotte Crosby, decided to send her fans and followers completely over the edge.

In a move which has gone down like a lead balloon on Twitter, the reality star revealed that she's planning to follow in Vicky Pattison's footsteps and head down under for a fortnight of bushtucker trials.

Confirming speculation last night, 26-year-old Charlotte wrote: "Yep I am going on @imacelebrity. I can't wait. So excited man."

Pumped at the prospect of seeing Charlotte tackle the same trials and tribulations her former co-star Vicky endured in the jungle, fans of the star wasted no time wishing her luck.

But it looks like their well wishes were unnecessary as an hour later Charlotte was forced to admit she had been joking – an admission that didn't sit well with the public.

That was a joke btw.

"Such a funny joke isn't it? You excited your fans you moron," wrote one.

"F*ck sake, already told the girlfriend and she was buzzing and said you will win. Now I got to go break the news now thanks," added another.

But while some followers were clearly fuming, the most optimistic among them suggested Charlotte had merely made the announcement too early and had been forced to retract it.

"I was a little unsure if she was meant to be announcing it this early?" wrote while another remarked: "Are you sure you're not just saying that cos you got in sh*t for tweeting it?"

Hmmm, we might have to watch this space…
