ITV I'm A Celebrity viewers have issued the same complaint over the return of Kiosk Kev. It came as Josie Gibson and Nick Pickard were the first two celebrities to give the Dingo Dollar challenge a try on Monday night on ITV, a day after the I'm A Celebrity launch show aired.
Josie and Nick visited Kev to find him behind his own ice cream truck named Kev's Wallaby Whips. Kiosk Kev has been in charge of the Outback Shack since 2019 following Kiosk Keith's sacking in 2018. But Kiosk Cledwyn stepped in during the two years the show aired from Wales.
"Give me Kiosk Kev back @imacelebrity not this rebrand," one viewer tweeted on Twitter/X. Another joked: "Kiosk Kev will be having a supermarket next year #ImACeleb." A third typed: "Was there any need to rebrand kiosk kev? #ImACeleb." Another asked: "Ice joke itv, give us our kiosk kev shop back #ImACeleb."

Another viewer wrote: "Can we please get a spin-off of Kev and his ice cream van #ImACeleb." Beth shared with her followers: "Kev has an ice cream van??? #imaceleb." An insider reportedly told The Sun that Keith had an alcohol problem and alleged that he was inappropriate towards a female colleague.
“It wasn't unusual for Keith to turn up to work drunk as he's done it before but this incident has shocked everyone,” the source said. “He was drunk when he got on the bus in the morning. Then he behaved inappropriately towards a female member of the team who's half his age."
His ex-wife Donna defended him, saying he is “no sexual predator” and should not be made out to be a “horrible man”. Keith himself wrote a message to fans at the end of 2018, tweeting: “OK just read up that i’m no longer on the show for reasons I won’t say, you can find out yourself ffs. This account will no longer be used so enjoy this last tweet of mine.”
