Overnight, a rat was filmed gnawing at the food bag - the celebs discover the hole in the morning … Nigel was not happy, blaming it on campers’ slovenly habits …
JLS joined A&D at the Climb of Cruelty … well, it wasn’t cruel but it was a demanding 100ft climb on hanging scaffolding with critter-boxes as an additional challenge. Patently, JLS has a head for heights because she didn’t baulk at ascending or traversing and easily collected 9 stars before making “leap of faith” from 100ft to collect the 10th. Smiles all round …
Nella gets rehabilitation airtime - talking to Nigel, bustin’ some moves and being downright reasonable …
Josie, Nick and Fred talked about the fickleness of fame - Josie, of course, won Big Brother but blew her chances, wallowed in ignominy for years before getting “bit parts” on Good Morning which developed into a full-time job.
Dinner - 4 black birds, expertly decapitated by Nigel (field sportsman) and cooked with plenty of veg to fill 9 bellies (Nella is not eating, of course … )
Camp life is about to get complicated - all 10 celebs are up for the next trial before being split into teams led by 2 new campers - Frankie Dettori and Tony Bellow.
Two campmates are attacked by blood-sucking leeches
I’m A Celebrity viewers have seen the celebrities dealing with a downpour this week and the fallout of the torrential rain continues with the arrival of blood-sucking leeches. Sam Thompson and Nick Pickard have both fallen victim to the unpleasant critters that were brought into the camp after last week’s weather.
Weather storms hit the camp last week alongside high temperatures, making the camp the ideal home for a swarm of leeches. A source said: “Sam had a leech attach itself to his foot and Nick had one on his hand - the rain has brought them all out. Production has told the celebs to take extra care and be vigilant. Whilst leeches fall off naturally once they’ve drunk their fill there’s also the risk that the leeches’ entry site can become infected.

The leech invasion comes after several snakes had to be removed by experts after I’m A Celebrity health and safety officer Jeremy Douglas confirmed that the recent weather had led to more of the creatures in camp than usual. He said: “We have had a lot of snakes on the site this year, possibly because it has been so humid. We have had pythons, and non-venomous and venomous species."
I believe that the celebs wear red socks because something or other is always nibbling at their feet and causing blood to flow … any stains therefore blend in …
Fred has a tick attached to his arm requiring expert removal
Nigel takes a bath in the nude - spotted by Josie and Danielle
Today’s Trial - Locker Shocker - Celebs/lockers/stars/keys/gunge - First 5 out become the Home team, the last 5 out become the Away team
Home - JLS/Nella/Sam/Danielle/Fred - back to camp and a fish dinner and mango dessert (Nella now eating … )
Away - Josie/Grace/Nigel/Nick/Marvin - onto Snake Rock and back to basics (rice and beans - Tony spits his out)
The team coaches arrived and raced with pigs testicles in their mouths over an obstacle course - Frankie won and took Home, Tony was left with Away
Home camp now has a luxury bus for the coach and new kit for the team
Away camp has no luxuries - the celebs have new kit but are sleeping on the ground
Next - a series of “Head-to-Heads” for team members to accumulate points for a “Breakfast of Champions” - call me Mr Pessimistic but I don’t think the Aways stand a chance of winning
Main Camp - Nella shuts down Sam, her partner later, for disturbing her Zen …
Snake Rock - Grace is withdrawn and white but Nigel will be her partner later
Head-To-Head - Touchdown of Terror - Nella and Grace with critters in their helmets, Sam and Nigel with ants in their pants - basically a game of ball passing and retrieval - Nella called “Time” (again) and released her helmet - Grace kept her head (and helmet), despite a cockroach in her ear, and won a proper meal for dinner - Camel Haunch (real steaks!)
Nella apologises to her camp-mates but it’s not contrite, it’s attention-seeking … … and she’s now a two-time loser.
More silly games involved human sponges (JLS/Danielle v Josie/Marvin) - Away win - and ball collection (Fred/Frankie v Tony/Nick) - Home win
Final Totals - Home 404, Away 383 - Home get the breakfast (Tony was heard to say “bollocks”) and the Away team have to provide 2 members for the next BTT …
While still in the arena, Tony and Nigel had to face 6 repulsive drinks each to win stars for dinner - flies, brains, feet, anus, penis, testicles, cockroaches, etc … while Nigel thrived, Tony suffered … … nevertheless 12 stars gained …
Back in main camp, Home had their Breakfast of Champions -
Later, Away joined Home and dinner was served - Wild Hare …
Tony, throughout, has not been a happy bunny … but I believe that his “nan” died just before he left for IAC so, obviously, his mind will be on other matters …
Most of the celebs, however, are beginning to “enjoy” themselves as they settle into the routines of camp life - Josie and Sam always seem something to laugh about …
The next BTT is underwater - “Fishy Business” - participants are Nella (three-time loser?), not happy about it, and Sam, positively elated … … he’s even invented a name for the couple - “Salmonella” …
Not sure why Josie had a dig at Nigel for being a bit “whiffy” and needing deodorant. He is always washing and changing his clothes. Some of them even sleep in fleeces and those big waterproof jackets …… they must really be sweaty but, as expected, nothing is said.
I’ll bet that Josie stinks as much as Nigel, maybe more …
Even if the celebs wash regularly (and some don’t) they will all end up stinking after trials involving attachment to liberal amounts of critters, offal and fluid which cold camp water can’t shift. Then, as you say, they crawl into unclean, often damp, sleeping bags and wear unwashed clothes for days on end …
Ant commented: “The 2019 series was even worse than normal. Because of the Australian bushfires, the campmates had a gas burner, rather than an open fire,” he explained. “Normally the campfire can conceal some of the BO, but not that year.”
“It was like when the smoking ban came in for pubs,” said Dec. “Once the smell of smoke disappeared you realised one thing: ‘This pub stinks’.”
“Anyway, we digress. They stink, that’s the point.” says Ant.
The Small-eyed Snake is very secretive and unlikely to be encountered in the open during the day. When disturbed it may thrash about aggressively, but it is usually disinclined to bite. Toxicity of the venom seems to vary geographically, and the effect on humans can range from no symptoms to renal failure and possibly death (one recorded fatality). The venom contains a long-acting myotoxin that continues to attack muscle tissue (including heart muscle) for days after envenomation. A bite should always be treated as serious and medical attention sought as soon as possible.
I don’t watch it and don’t really know much about her, don’t shows like I’m a Celebrity always have a villain everyone loves to hate?
But if she challenged Farage on his opinions then she’s OK in my book. He doesn’t deserve protection from being told he stinks and so do his attitudes, even if it upsets his fans
I’m A Celebrity star Nella Rose has found herself at the centre of a ‘sexism’ row after viewers slammed her ‘discriminatory’ comments about men.
Many fans of the ITV show were outraged after Nella started chatting about how the men were doing all the work in camp.
Chatting with Josie Gibson, Nella commented on impressed she was with the boys getting the firewood and doing the heavy lifting around camp. She remarked: “So the men are supposed to go out, hunt, get the wood, make the fire, whilst the women keep the vibes. That’s how it should be,” Nella added. “The suffragettes were fighting for this.”
Nella was then shown chatting in the bush telegraph, where she said: “This camp has 100% restored my faith in men. Mmm, macho men. Wow. They even cook. Hunter gatherers. The women are just…we are just here to bear children at this point. That’s it, I love it here.”
While Nella laughed as she was talking, suggesting her comments may have been tongue in cheek, many on social media were not impressed and pointed out how such remarks would go down if they came from a man. (*)
(*) Quite … and if that man were as frequently prone as Nella appears to be then he would be called an “idle barsteward” … and his comprehension of history would be challenged if he associated hunter-gatherers and child-bearers with suffragettes.
BTT - Fishy Business - Nella (quiet) and Sam (excited) both in the water but all Nella did was stand in a kiosk and ask questions - Sam was the one frantically swimming around looking for answers, then sticking his dead in a critter-filled helmet to unscrew stars with his tongue - 10 out of 12 before running out of time .
Sam was, of course, ecstatic - Nella was still quiet but I think she’s playing the “poor me” card - she’s certainly fooled the campers, who don’t see her as an under-achiever …
Deals on Wheels returned, giving Frankie and Nick an opportunity to have fun with a milk-float and bottles - the question from Kev concerned a Hollyoaks plot (balloon shop explosion), which the campers got wrong, so no treat (again).
Dinner was crab - the preparation was spoiled by Fred bringing up Brexit with Nigel again but the serving brought peace to the “table” …
Next BTT - Down the Tubes - Nigel, Nella, Tony excluded - Grace and Josie to participate in an overhead trial - Grace looked shocked (1) but Josie was “pleasantly” surprised.
Also, a Camp Leader to be elected by viewer votes.
Grace is not looking well but i immagine the doc will be checking in on her . Nella ( who ive never known of ) is another of these young entitled, who think the world owes them . I wouldnt say the most intelligent after her discussion with Nigel about her being an immigrant and open the country to allow all immigrants in , when Nigel asked had she read up her information she replied " i saw it on the Internet " . Enough said . As for the suffragettes they fought for womens independance and rights , not for silly girls to think they know it all .
Fred is a gentleman
Nigel to
Josie politely with a smile reminded Nigel to put his deodorant on but i bet they all whiff a bit
But the only reason Farage is in IAC and trousering 1.5 million is because he calls himself a politician and because of the tragedy he caused our country by pushing Brexit?
So it’s all about IAC, including objections to him being on the show
Why should he be exempt from criticism of what he’s done and is, in the show or out of it?
Just because he’s greedy enough to appear on the show shouldn’t give him a “get out jail free card” to appease his fans
So well done to Fred Sireix for telling him the truth about the harm he’s done and to GMB news for pointing out his popularity change of tune over the NHS and that bus
If she didn’t tell him directly he stinks, there’s plenty of us in the queue to do so
