Now there are 11 Celebrities in the jungle. Welcome Dean Gaffney

Romance is in the air, friendships are deepening, gossipers are pairing off in whispering huddles and there is a sharing of confidences, songs and emotions. Lessons are being learned through heated discussions and food is at last in more abundance. Life in the jungle!

The dreaded Bushtucker trials are getting more horrendous by the day, with newcomer, Dean Gaffney, excelling, in spite of his stark fear, trembling limbs and terrified screams, bravely tackling ‘The Bush Spa’. We go deep into the jungle, where Dean, robed in a thick white towelling gown and wearing goggles, lays back in a comfy hairdressers chair, with his head in the basin and instead of shampoo, giant sized cockroaches come pouring down, half filling the basin. Dean has to stretch backwards and find the star in the basin of crunchy monsters. The ‘horrifying hair wash’,’ harrowing hairdryer’, ‘petrifying pedicure’, ‘menacing manicure’, ‘scream chamber’, hot tub of alligators and more, left Dean covered in bites, slime, various ghastly insects, rats and unspeakables but came through it all with 9 of the 11 stars. This meant nine meals to come. Obviously he was made very welcome by his new family in the jungle as he entered the camp with the good news. The starving campers were down to beans and rice. Sad to say the meal was not enjoyed by many as it turned out to be a tough old goat.

When the celebrities are happily relaxed around the fire, in the jungle, with food in their stomachs and happily singing and exchanging information on their lives, it all looks so inviting, until the complaining starts. Insect bites, blisters, awful food, tempers flaring, gossiping and picking on one another, complaints of one person eating more than the other, water tasting and smelling of chicken excretion, unable to sleep, the list is never ending and that is without the Bushtucker trials. Are they asking themselves whatever madness made them accept the challenge?

We do know of many deliriously happy people who sit glued to their TV’s night after night enjoying every second of the jungle experience. The viewers. Roll on the next episode.
