I'm A Celebrity 2019

Great teamwork between Ian and Jacqueline. I can’t help wondering if Jac is playing a game as she carries on like a baby when she’s to do a trial then she goes on to do a fab job. I don’t know, I might be wrong though.

I find Ian and Andrew right morngy buggers.

Love Andy and Kate still.

Andrew seems to have anger management issues - other campmates have remarked on his “moods” … :shock:

True … I used to like it when there was a live midnight transmission from the camp - nothing much happened but the campers were “themselves” … :slight_smile:

I get muddled up with Andrew Maxwell and Andrew Whyment.

ANDY is the cheerful one from Coronation Street

ANDREW is “Moody” Maxell

:wink:

Ah, thanks Omah. I will try and remember now. :smiley:

Dan Osborne (Towie) is making his way to the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! jungle to support his wife Jacqueline Jossa (Eastenders) amid allegations he cheated on her. In unaired scenes from last night’s episode, Myles Stephenson (Rak-Su) reportedly claimed Osborne had a fling with his ex-girlfriend Gabby Allen (Love Island), causing Jacqueline to ‘threaten to quit the show’. Despite this, Dan is en route to Oz and is looking forward to seeing his wife of two years.

The Z-list world is, apparently, a small world … :lol:

Jacqueline and Dan Osborne have been rocked by cheating accusations since marrying in June 2017, but are hoping that the space while she takes part in I’m A Celeb will bring them closer together.

Jacqueline threatened to quit I’m A Celebrity after fellow campmate Myles Stephenson told her he believed Dan Osborne cheated on her with his ex Gabby Allen. She had a meltdown over the alleged infidelity, was spotted without her wedding ring, and demanded to talk to the dad of her two kids.

Show bosses allowed her to temporarily exit the Australian jungle to leave Osborne, 28, a voicemail about the claims. Osborne was then allowed to send a voicemail back.

Producers decided that as long as they did not speak directly it would not give EastEnders actress Jacqueline any unfair advantage in the ITV show.

Meanwhile …

Day 9 – Roast dinners, #BeanGate and care package triumphs

Four campmates – Myles, Andy, Kate and Nadine – were recruited for a special mission to retrieve 12 care packages for the down-on-their-luck celebs. After being flown by helicopter to another region of the jungle, they had only two hours to find them.

The location of the first four boxes: a rocky cliff. To get hold of these, each celeb had to abseil over the edge. The four celebs made it down, collecting a care package each on the way.

Next - a classic co-ordination challenge. After swimming down a creek, Andy and Kate had to feed directions from a map to Nadine and Myles via a walkie talkie. While they suffered a fair few false starts, the two pairs managed to locate another four packages.

Last - with eight packages in the bag and only 25 minutes remaining, the four campmates then had to retrieve the remaining boxes fixed above a rickety tightrope. Despite plenty of wobbling (especially Kate), all of the celebs managed to retrieve all prizes, meaning each celeb would enjoy a care package back in camp.

Remember in Day 8 when all the celebs got cranky as they fought off hunger? Well, all of that was completely pointless: while organising the camp’s rations chest, James discovered a secret stash of uncooked grub - 21 packets of beans! Myles and Nadine were in charge of the camp’s rations chest - James has taken control of the food chest himself.

It was time for the campmates who previously won a roast dinner to reap the rewards. All the celebs apart from Ian and newbies Cliff and Andy sat down at Snake Rock to enjoy helpings of roast chicken, Yorkshire puddings, vegetables and gravy. *

Ant and Dec announced that either Jacqueline or Andrew would be facing tomorrow night’s critter-packed Bushtucker Trial - Jacqueline ahrieked with relief when Andrews was selected … :041:

When the nine campmates returned from their roast dinner - won in last night’s live Bushtucker Trial - their care packages were delivered to camp.

Inside, they found family photos, little food treats and notes from home, which they read out to the camp.

I’m A Celebrity stars have lost five stone between them after just one week in the jungle

Each of the initial ten contestants have lost at least half a stone – more than three kilograms – with rugby giant James Haskell losing the most as the heaviest person to initially go into camp.

When the food has been won through trials it’s still tiny portions compared to what many are used to and it’s a lean meal of meat and healthy vegetables.

Temperatures in camp have rarely dipped below 30 degrees with the campmates chugging up to three litres of water a day to stay feeling full.

The loss is most dramatic for the girls:

Do you think they’d take Mrs Fox?..:115:

Day 10 — #SmuggleGate, Rows and Ark of Agony

‘Ark of Agony’?

Once Andrew arrived at the clearing, Ant and Dec revealed that the “ark” was just like Noah’s Ark, with two of every jungle critter lurking inside. There were 12 stars hidden inside the large animal enclosures — but to unlock those enclosures Andrew would first have to find the keys, hidden inside smaller animal enclosures.

Andrew tackled a host of critter enclosures, including millipedes, spiders, toads, rats, goannas, eels, burrowing cockroaches, camels and very snappy crocodiles. In the end won ten stars for the rest of the camp in what was a relatively easy BTT.

Andrew triumphantly arrived back at the camp with the stars but said he was too tired to help Caitlyn with the washing up and was going for a nap.

James offered to wash up instead — but then scalded his foot with the hot washing up water. In the end Ian and Roman cleared the washing up so noisily that they woke Andrew and Ian confronted him about his behaviour - Andrew was quick to admit that he was wrong but that’s another black mark against him.

Adele and Cliff took on the Dingo Dollar challenge, as they (well, Adele…) attempted to tease out a riddle about clocks. After the dingo dollars were released, the pair requested “After Eights” - the campers answered the question correctly and the chocolate treats delighted the campmates.

It turns out that smuggling food really isn’t a good idea in the jungle, after Caitlyn’s decision to smuggle out some corn for a hungry Ian during Day 9 resulted in the loss of one of Andrew’s hard-won stars. Nevertheless, there was plenty of fish with vegetables for dinner

Ian and James were picked to tackle the dungeon in the Bushtucker Trial on Day 11.

A bit of a dull day, really … :069:

I haven’t watched any of I’m A Celebrity yet but l do know there’s talk of Caitlyn Jenner and weeing in the shower!
Apparently, it’s good for Athletes Foot!

Ian Wright is right getting on my nerves, he’s a morngy, bad tempered, sore loser and I’m fed up of him picking on poor Andrew. Andrew is struggling in there enough as it is without Ian being nasty to him. I could tell Ian was itching for an argument with Andrew but Andrew didnt bite, he practiced a bit of reverse psychology, good for Andrew!

The black chicken or whatever it was they got to eat looked ruddy disgusting YUK, I’m not sure I could have eaten it.

James annoyed me when Andy was picked as second in command to Caitlyn and he said “oh, the power of Corrie” Him being voted to be second in command is nothing to do with the fact that he is in Corrie, it was the fact that Andy is a thoroughly, nice, funny and gentle guy. Get over your jealousy James!

I’m really enjoying IAC. I’m not sure who I want to win but I’m loving Andy, Kate, Nadine and Roman. I think I’m rooting for Andy if I’m honest.

Day 11 – Deadly Dungeon, Queen Caitlyn and another bean scandal

Bushtucker Trial: Deadly Dungeon

When Ian and James arrived at the clearing, Ant and Dec explained that Deadly Dungeon would take them into an underground maze of rooms and tunnels, each one pitch black and filled with critters.

The pair would be shackled together and required to navigate using only their hands in order to find stars hidden around in the darkness.

Despite great determination and a positive attitude beforehand, Ian and James struggled as they scrambled around the Deadly Dungeon.

Ian also suffered quite a fright on more than one occasion, making terrified noises after accidentally touching a crab and doing so again when a mixture of cockroaches, crickets and mealworms were dropped on him from above.

When they ran out of time and were finally released from the dungeon, it turned out that they had only found six out of a possible twelve stars, which was a frustrating result for Ian particularly who threw his helmet across the trial area.

Compared to Andrew’s BTT, where he wasn’t shackled and was in broad daylight, this BTT must have seemed, for James (and, obviously for Ian) almost impossible to complete … :102:

New leader

Audiences had chosen Caitlyn to lead the camp, with Andy becoming deputy after placing second in the vote.

The new leaders had the task of reassigning the job roles of each campmate, ensuring each one had a different responsibility to before.

They decided on Roman and Nadine as camp cleaners, Myles and Jacqueline to wash up, James and Adele on water duty, Cliff and Andrew to pump gas, with Ian and Kate given the all-important role of camp chefs.

I’m not entirely sure those assignments are going to be a success … :017:

Ian v Andy: Round 2

Following on from last night’s row over the washing up, relations between Ian and Andrew continued to be frosty on tonight’s episode as they clashed over food.

It seems that Ian can’t cook … :lol:

Dingo Dollar Challenge

Nadine and Andy took on today’s Dingo Dollar Challenge, which this time had a science fiction theme.

Suspended above the ground on a rickety bridge were aliens which had to be paired up by the noises they made.

The campmates guessed the answer to the question correctly, revealing that a recent survey found 40% of men strongly believe that men and women are equal.

The campmates were rewarded with half a buttered crumpet each.

Nadine excelled in leaping across the bridge beams … :shock:

Tensions are rising… :094:

Roman Kemp and Myles Stephenson wee in the shower - it’s the shower at home - not the jungle shower.

Coronation Street actor Andrew Whyment agreed with the two boys, much to Kate Garraway’s horror.

She said: “No, you can’t wee in the shower, I’m shocked.”

Adele asked Caitlyn if she had ever wee’ed in the shower, and the superstar replied: “Put it this way, it’s not as much fun as it used to be.”

It’s obviously a “bloke” practice … :102:

I’m with Kate on this one … :slight_smile:

A sharp comment from Caitlyn, though … :lol:

Ian is, IMO, a typical grumpy 56-year-old male, with many personal issues to contend with but Andrew, IMO, is, at 44, with his major mood swings, heading swiftly to his fifties … :mrgreen:

They really did look like baby dinosaurs … :009:

So far this year, they has been no “Big Girl’s Blouse” or “Moaning Minnie” refusing or failing BTT’s, which is good - but that could change … :wink:

Surprising, I’m getting to like Caitlyn - she never complains, is very easy-going and can be quite witty. Andy, however, is so likeable that I can’t see him NOT winning … :!:

Queenie, I totally agree with you about Ian being a thoroughly miserable old wotsit. He is like a spoilt kid when he doesn’t get his way.

Those little black chickens they were given, the Silkies, I used to breed quite a few of them a few years back, they’re lovely little birds - I never ate one though!
They come in quite a few different colours, but even the snow white ones really do have black skins.
This is what they look like with their feathers on.
(Sorry about the huge picture, I couldn’t make it smaller).

Never watch it as most are hasbeens trying to get noticed again

My ex bosses wife kept them, just like the one in the photo. I never knew their skin was black though. They are really sweet birds & she didn’t eat them either.

Day 12 – Sinister Circus, Girl Talk and The Reckonings

An early morning discussion in camp saw Caitlyn ponder whether Her Majesty tunes into the show.

There’s only one member of camp that’s royalty, however, and that’s Caitlyn, who opened up about telling her family about her transition.

Andy read from the jungle laminate that they had now all been ‘cursed’, meaning they were doomed to rice and beans unless they could prove themselves in a series of trials and reckonings.

Ian, Nadine, Jacqueline and Romanwere the first celebrities given the opportunity to lift the curse in the latest Bushtucker Trial, Sinister Circus.

The aim was to get out of water tanks as quickly as possible and involved shackles, keys, combination padlocks. Naturally, creatures joined them in the tank.

While Nadine initially struggled with the challenge, both herself and Roman were the quickest to free themselves and found themselves lifted of the curse.

Next up were Kate, Andrew, Andy and Caitlyn who had to endure a jungle banquet. The celebrities had to rest their chin on a red button whenever a service bell rang, and had to remain there, enduring showers odbugs until a service rang again. Celebs that failed to do so ‘failed’ – those with the least amount of fails rang the task.

As Kate struggled with the spiders, crickets and mealworms, it was Andy and Andrew who won the task with the least amount of fails – and were now uncursed.

Nadine and Jacqueline had a heart-to-heart about their love lives, with Nadine revealing she once dated Jesse Metcalfe.*

Jacqueline, meanwhile, opened up on her love life with husband Dan Osbourne – just days after she reportedly threatened to quit the show after ‘cheating’ claims emerged.

  • IIRC, the gardener from “Desperate Housewives” - She “dated” him for over 2 years … :wink:

In a task titled Dead Ringers, Adele, Cliff, James and Myles had to endure time in a coffin which they had to unlock themselves from and ring a bell as their coffin filled with critters.

Myles and Adele were the first celebrities out the graves and were therefore ‘uncursed’.

All the trials were challenging but, for me, the “burial” was the worst … :103:

Ant and Dec went into camp and said our campmates are now fighting for immunity from the first public vote – so expect things to get even more tense.
