It's 5am in the Austrailian outback, Ant & Dec come live from the camp to give us a ""tour"" of where the Celebrities might stay for the next two weeks; Self-styled 'British Battleaxe' Christine Hamilton, ex boxer & DJ Nigel Benn, comedienne Rhona Cameron, model Nell McAndrew, actor and singer Darren Day, 'Paranormalist' Uri Gellar, IT girl Tara Palmer Tomkinson and veteran DJ Tony Blackburn are the recruits - with no idea what lies ahead. Ant & Dec explain the format of the show; For the first week, the public vote which of the celebrities will take part in the ""Bush Tucker"" competition. This is an event, which involves the celebrities being voted to do it. The public will decide who that person is. In the second week, the public are then voting who they want OUT of the jungle. Leaving the final two. The public then vote who they want to win - and be crowned The King, or Queen, Of The Jungle. Tara faces some doubts before leaving. Since having a fear of snakes since she was 3, Paul
It's the day of recognising for Tara. Terrified by bugs, has her Bush Tucker Trial. Darren promises to sing a song to her if she manages all eight buckets. Early in the morning she sets off to her destination. If she succeeds she wins the group a meal each (8 in total). If she fails, she leaves with a back full of bugs. If she wants to surrender and quit anytime she must shout""I'm A Celebrity: Get Me out Of Here!"" She takes her place under the shower. The buckets start to drop. In a comical(to us) but also terrifying(to her) ordeal, she shakes violently and screaming ""Get Me Out!"". But she retracts this and orders Ant to pull the cords. She keeps going and successfully completes her challenge, winning meals for the group. She returns with the happy news, sending the camp into a good vibe. It's bush tucker trial voting time; A ""snake pit"" has been filled with non-venomous but biting snakes, with 8 golden stars placed amongst them. For each star recovered a meal is won. If all
The show as usual opens with the details of what we are voting for a celebrity to do for their Bush Tucker trial. Today's is a tough one. A swamp, filled with leeches, snakes, insects, with awful conditions. And yes - our celebrity has to wade through it all. But it's Uri's challenge today that is firmly on the minds in the morning. As a vegetarian, Uri has not eaten meat or creatures to be more precise for over 30 years. Tony pleads with Uri to think about his own feelings than the rest of the group. Christine agrees. Nevertheless, he's set off for his trial crossing the bridge. When he gets there he sees 16 plates. On one side is all the meals he can win, and on the other is what he has to eat to win these meals. Ants, larva, crickets, worms... and a few vegetables that taste diabolical. Astonishingly, Uri with his powers imagines different food he's eating and he eats all 8 plates. He's won eight meals - ""I'm full already"" he states. Uri returns to camp as a hero. Everybody
Today's team leader Nell volunteered for the Bush Tucker Trial which involved riding a mechanical bucking bronco for three minutes. While the model was being swung around - in one of thee most funniest scenes ever, she had to grab golden meal stars suspended above her head by string. Nell took several tumbles but managed to grab all five tokens. Nell was so excited afterwards that she kissed Ant and Dec, before checking if the vigorous experience had caused a bit of a stink. She asked the presenting duo ""do I smell?"" Back at the camp, Nell said: ""It was really enjoyable but the clock was ticking. I kept getting thrown off…I must have been pulling some right faces."" Tara was gutted that Nell got carry out such an exciting task, as she had been itching for a good buck all week – just ask Darren! With feisty Darren Day out of the camp, Tara has enjoyed her best day in the camp so far, claiming that ""everything is perfect."" Tara also lifted the lid on her amazing bust ups with Darren, ev
The camp are in complete shock for the first time since arriving. Since blonde beauty Nell was voted out, the camp all reveal they thought she was to be the winner. Tara is now left with ""Mum and Dad - they will drive me mental!"" she says, ""Tony is sweet and the perfect father-figure.. and Christine is just mumsy. But they will drive me to the brink of insanity all day - I just know it."" Before long, they receive word that they are all to go over the bridge for the Bush Tucker Trial - and they go straight to their destination, the waterfall. In the waterfall and surrounding areas there is 7 boxes. In 3 are stars. One star equals one meal. In the rest are booby prizes. After series debate of ""Oh Darling"" and ""frankly my dear.."", Tony is given the chance to choose who should do the trial. ""Pick a hand - the one that has it, does the trial."" Christine picks the stone hand. ""Oh, I guess you'll do it"" says Tara. Clearly exhausted, Christine only manages two stars. Unaware, while they ar
Tony and Tara's final Bush Tucker Trial was a nightmarish compilation of all of the previous challenges arranged in one wild obstacle course. The remaining pair had to compete with each other for a slap up breakfast. But first there were bugs on the menu in the Bush Tucker Bonanza stage of the challenge! Next up, Tony and Tara had to plunge their hands into tanks containing stars and unknown jungle creatures. Both celebrities failed to muster the relevant courage for this task, and moved on. Tara refused to carry out the next challenge – a re-run of Stinking Swamp, but this time there were eels in the water. Tony embraced the challenge and crept into the lead. Then it was a case of déjà vu for Tara, as the pair had to endure a jungle shower of maggots. But Tara was not keen on a repeat performance, leaving Tony to the creepy crawlies. Unfortunately for Tara, this was the final blow and Tony scooped the breakfast. Later, Tara commented on the ordeal of the trial: ""My whole body was shak
It's LIVE in the London studio's with the audience and it is the first time since our eight celebs have met since being in the jungle. We see footage of what has happened over the last fortnight while watching our eight: the rows, the tasks, press storied. But a surprise is in store - another Bush Tucker trial - ""The Hell Holes"". But an even bigger surprise is in store for Ant & Dec. Their names will also be included. Nigel and Christine are first to be interviewed, to tell their story and their rows. They are evidently friends again, and Nigel apologises for the way he acted to Christine, Rhona and the public. ""If I was Rhona I would have knocked me out too"". The footage of Christine's stirring in Rhona's Buried Alive is played and Christine apologises. Nigel kicks a fuss after Christine still admits that he did call Rhona a sinner. ""I'm not going to argue with you now"" Christine says. The results of how the voting is going just now and Ant & Dec are well in the lead with 62%.
