Fans slam I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! contestants over terrible gaffe: ‘I was in tears’
Two cast members from Channel 10’s I’m a celebrity…Get me out of here! have been mocked by fans following Monday’s episode of the hit reality show.
Former Big Brother star Skye Wheatley, 29, and Love Island’s Callum Hole, 24, came under fire after an embarrassing conversation in which they discussed ‘big words’.
During the segment, Skye became tongue-tied when she couldn’t correctly identify the name given to paleontologists.
At one point Skye asked Callum, “What do you call the people who dust things to find fossils?”
“Photosynthesis,” Callum replied.

Not satisfied with his answer, Skye then turned to the group for an opinion and asked, “What’s the name of the person dusting the dinosaur bones?”
Some of the cast answered incorrectly, saying that these scientists were called “archaeologists.”
Archaeologists use ancient artifacts and physical remains to study human history.
A TikTok user later uploaded the segment to her channel with the caption: “This moment from I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here had me in tears.”

A few fans teased Callum for confusing paleontology with photosynthesis
“These two are hilarious,” another posted, while another simply said, “This killed me.”
Meanwhile, a few fans teased Callum for confusing ‘paleontology’ with ‘photosynthesis’.
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.
“He was so confident when he said it,” one fan added.
