I'm A Celebrity will swap jungle for ruined British castle - Update: Gwrych castle granted £2m for repairs

Shane imo got the easiest trial yet, apart from the spiders in the head hole, anyone could have done that as fast if not faster & got 12 stars. Even I could have done it!!

I agree Tiffany it was ‘clean’ and easy. I could have done it too…

I agree - it was a doddle … :102:

It seems that lots of viewers thought so, too - he’s up for the next trial … with Jessica … :lol:

… and Shane’s nose was put out of joint when AJ made a “proper” job of cleaning the mess sets - from Shane’s “manky” to his “super-shiny” … :lol:

I’d like to nominate Bev as my favourite English speaker of the celebs for using the rarely-used “notorious” - nowadays, most English speakers seem to prefer the limper “infamous” … :smiley:

Is Shane Richie wearing black eye makeup? It looked like it had smudged last night!

AFAIK, make-up is banned for all sexes on IAC … :smiley:

IMO, he’s a durrty beggar who doesn’t wash either himself or the pots properly so when he’s rubbed his eyes, because of the smoke probably, he’s transferred the filth to his eyes … :103:

Think hes wearing mascara , if you look most of the girls are .

Easy peasy trial I would have hated the spiders but I would have got through the rest much faster.

Non the less I do like Shane .

I’d like Mo to win , what a lovely gentle man

Blimey … you’re right - they’re breaking the rules … :!:

I’m A Celebrity stars accused of wearing makeup – including Shane Richie and Vernon Kay

Mind you, the “rule-book” seems to have been revised for this year - Shane was positively “coached” through his “easy” trial … :shock:

:-(Omah , Ruthie won her mascara after she and Russell did their trial and won an item each for the campmates so she must be allowed to wear it perhaps shes sharing it around

I think she is sharing it, Susan.:023:

Ah, I see … let’s hope it runs out sooner rather than later … :lol:

Confirmed: Trials are actually filmed in a studio

Producers have built a set next door under a giant tent, with several areas which can be quickly dressed to look like the castle interior.

Bosses insist their hands were forced because it is impossible to drastically change the layout of, or add to, the Grade II listed structure.

Transporting the show’s critters and creepy crawlies around the ruins was also deemed too problematic.

Campmates have to make the short journey, by foot or by minibus to the tent, where they are briefed and then put through their paces.

I’m not bothered - even in Australia, the “jungle” was dressed for trials … :102:

As long as the critters, guts and tucker are real … :lol:

Shane is “done” after being voted for another trial … :mrgreen:

Shane Richie couldn’t contain his fury as he learned that he’d been voted to take on his third trial in a row.

HE and Hollie will be facing all manner of water critters in a stinky underground sewer.

Exhausted at the prospect of facing another trial, Shane declared: ‘I’m done! I’m done!’ while Hollie seemed thrilled that she’d finally be taking on a challenge.

Shane’s “Cocky Cockney” act has, patently, failed to impress voters … :lol:

This marked Shane’s third trial in a row and his sixth overall, after taking on the solo challenge Cruel Jewels, which saw him gather stars by moving through a series of display cabinets covered in critters.

On Wednesday night he then took on the hilarious Sickening Stalls with Jessica Plummer, which saw them down an array of disgusting drinks.

The actor left viewers in hysterics as he gagged and retched his way through the challenge, with him and Jess earning 12 stars for the camp.

Funnily enough, I remained unamused. I found the “clinging” Jessica distictly annoying as she consistently failed to drink the entire contents of containers, while dribbling and spurting a good third … :078:

Ant’s later remark that filming took “a lot longer” than shown made me think that Jessica “bottled” several of her attempts before managing completion … :017:

The drinks surely cant be animal intestines liquidated and uncooked , one drink was blood red , this surely would be so dangerous and full of bacteria if it was blood .

Do you really think they are as we are being told. I’m wondering if its vegetable bits and not animal parts .?

Mr Omah your the expert

Not quite an expert, more a persistent viewer … :lol:

Over the years, I don’t think there’s been any doubt that “consumed” animal parts are real … but, of course, now we’re in the UK, in the middle of a pandemic, their use may have been modified … we may yet find out …:smiley:

Well, whatever was in those drinks it made Jess very ill. Guess Shane has a stronger stomach.

Makes me gag just thinking about it. They are scenes I refuse to watch.

I’m enjoying the series … its a bit of escapism in these difficult times. The secret to enjoying it is … don’t take it too seriously :slight_smile:

Once I realised what they had to do, I didn’t watch it either, but at the end when I switched back to it I saw Jess vomiting & then later she did again, several times from what she said & couldn’t eat any of the meal she’d helped to win.:frowning: She went to bed instead.:frowning:

I’m feeling a bit sorry for Shane now. I hope he isn’t first out.

The way he’s behaving will, IMO, make that inevitable - he has a nasty streak which manifests itself in many ways - like (last night) making Jordan feel stupid, gossiping about others with Vernon or taunting AJ:

I’m A Celeb’s AJ Pritchard has a face like thunder as Shane Richie throws his dish on the floor in triumph over chores

Walking across the set, 56-year-old Shane tossed his tin dish on the ground with a loud clang, prompting AJ to flash him a furious look.

Knowing it was the dancer’s turn to do the dishes, Shane laughed and said to the group: "Right then, who is doing the washing up?

“There you go. How do you like them apples!”

As the other campers giggled, AJ failed to crack a smile and instead he ordered Shane to “put it by the bucket”.

That didn’t go down well with Shane, who refused to move, and instead asked the group again: “Who is doing the washing up?”

The former Strictly dancer, 29, finally replied: “Myself and Jess”.

Getting up off the bench, Shane remarked, “Oh, OK” and strolled past AJ releasing a loud sigh as he went.

Walking back to the campers, he grabbed AJ on the shoulder, with the dancer throwing him a furious look.

Shane will have completed the latest of his (many) trials last night (with AJ!) and may get the boot tonight … :!:

… but, since it’s a positive vote to stay, it’s more likely that Hollie, Ruthie or Victoria will go …:102:
