From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The favourites to win I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! are emerging as the first public vote nears.

This weekend, the stars will start being eliminated from the ITV series – but two contestants should be content that they’ll be safe. The odds currently have McFly singer Danny Jones sitting at the top of the list alongside Coleen Rooney.

Bosses will undoubtedly be happy to hear Rooney has gone down well with the public considering they paid a hefty sum for her appearance.

Sitting at the other side of the odds is Dean McCullough, who has been relentlessly selected to participate in this year’s Bushtucker Trials. On Monday (26 November), he earnt 10 stars in his sixth trial – a much better attempt than one that caused the show’s co-host Ant McPartlin to react “unprofessionally”.

In tonight’s episode of I’m a Celebrity,Maura Higgins and Jane Moore will take on the next trial, “The Fright at the End of the Tunnel”.

Viewers demand rules change as Dean faces his sixth trial

Dean McCullough will take on “Jack and the Screamstalk” in tonight’s Bushtucker Trial, which will be the Radio One DJ’s sixth trial of the series already.

The 32-year-old is already on course for an I’m a Celeb record, for doing seven trials on the show but viewers are quickly getting annoyed with the DJ constantly being selected for the challenges.

After it was announced, many fans voiced their frustrations with the current voting system and asked for there to be a rule change.

One person wrote: “Please implement a new rule where people can’t get voted after their second trial in a row. It just makes the show boring and makes your show very repetitive.”

“I think once you’ve done one trial you should be exempt from the next one to give others a chance,” a second viewer said.

A third added: “This is getting boring now. Campmates shouldn’t be able to be voted for twice in a row for trials. It’s ruining it every year.”
