Beverley Callard Gifts Us The Meme Of 2020 Following I’m A Celebrity Debut

The Coronation Street star was the human embodiment of 2020 in the debut episode of the ITV show.

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! made a very welcome return to our screens on Sunday night and it didn’t take long for Twitter to get to work with a hilarious bunch of memes.

There was plenty to choose from in the debut episode of the ITV show, like Shane Richie falling out of his hammock, but it was Coronation Street star Beverley Callard who created the biggest stir thanks to this glorious moment...

And so a thousand memes were born...

Before entering the camp at Gwrych Castle in North Wales, the 63-year-old Corrie star insisted the fact she was the oldest campmate wouldn’t get in the way of her getting stuck in.

She said: “Somebody said to me, ‘You’re a mature woman going in?’ And I went, ‘No, I’m very immature, but I am the oldest’.

“I want to fight for women in our industry, especially now our industry is really ageist.

“How often do you see a film where the husband is 60 and the wife is 35? And that just kills me.”

She added: “When people see me in that outfit with no make-up, and Worzel Gummidge hairstyles, they might vote me out first.”

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! continues on ITV at 8pm tonight.
