Skye Wheatley bravely shared her battle with eating disorders on Tuesday’s episode of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! Australia.
The former Big Brother star and influencer opened up on her battle, discussing how being in the spotlight affected her health.
However, I’m A Celeb viewers called out the reality show’s social media accounts for the way they promoted the revelation earlier in the day.
One Instagram post shared a gallery of photos teasing several moments of Tuesday night’s episode.
One photo captioned ‘Skye’s eating disorder tonight’ in bold, and many users believed the post should have come with a trigger warning.

‘Whoever decided tile #3 was a good idea to post needs to have a rethink. A very important but potentially triggering topic that needs to be spoken about but should not be used in an advertisement as a ‘hook’. Really bad taste channel 10,’ one user wrote.
‘So disappointing that someone’s experience with this illness is presented in such a way,’ a viewer added.
‘What on earth on tile 3. Could’ve used much better wording.’

‘Next time a trigger warning ???’
‘Y’all didn’t even specify that some topics may have been triggering? insane for you to also post about it,’ another user commented.
Channel 10 has since deleted the slide on the Instagram post.

The account posted a quote from Skye in the episode: ‘This is my life. This is what I’ve been through. I’m not going to try to hide it.’
‘So if I can be the example for other girls, then that would mean the world to me,’ the quote continued.
