There is such a happy atmosphere in the camp and it all ends tomorrow night with the crowning of one of the remaining three celebrities. Jason Donovan who played Joseph in the Technicolor Dream coat, Myleene Klass, British classical pianist and TV Presenter and Matt Willis, who is a bass guitarist and was a member of Busted. the British pop idol group. Dean Gaffney, 11 years with Emmerdale, was the first to leave tonight. followed by, shockingly, David Gest. We hope this was not a repeat of the error made when Toby Anstis left. We had been told to push the red button for the wrong vote. All along David has been in the lead and this morning, on This Morning: I’m a Celebrity TV3 1200, he was lying second to Jason with 27 % of the votes to win, Jason with 30%, Myleene 26% and Matt 9% with Dean at the bottom with 8%. What happened????

There was no excitement over the celebrity chest containing cream scones and tea, as the campers were disheartened by their past failure to get the questions correctly answered. This one, although repeated questions from the past, was no different. They had failed to get the strawberry cream cake, ice cream and many other treats on previous occasions.

This is the last night of celebrity jungle but it has been wonderful with many interesting characters, much singing and cheerfulness and a splattering of arguments and bitchiness. The trials have been a real challenge and exciting to watch and the celebrity chest challenges equally entertaining. Ant and Dec are always very entertaining and a real treat.

Tomorrow night we will find out who is to be the next Queen or King of the jungle!!

The final draws near and Dean Gaffney became the eighth person to be evicted from I’m A Celebrity tonight.

The final 3 contestants will be revealed later this evening as one more person faces eviction.

Bookies are tipping Myleene Klass, David Gest and Jason Donovan for the final three which would mean Matt Willis leaving later this evening.

All will be revealed at 10pm tonight!

Dean and David were selected to go and collect the celebrity chest and when they reached a clearing full of pecking emus, Dean began to panic, much to David’s chagrin.

Their task was to dress in a giant yellow emu costume and work together to collect emu eggs, scattered around the clearing, with the added risk of live emus being around to guard the eggs.

While David was up front, Dean brought up the rear and began to yelp and flinch as an emu walked towards him.

Clearly losing his patience with his cowardly colleague, David told Dean: “Shut up.�

When the emus pecked, David pecked back: “Yeah, you want talk? You want to dance? You wanna boogie?�

While David did all the work, Dean may as well have been sat back in camp for the all the use he was, as he just flinched at regular intervals.

Getting the last egg collected, David gave a rendition of the Jason Donovan song ‘Sealed With A Kiss’ followed by the anthem from I’m A Celebrity Series 6, the rap that he wrote with Toby.

Before heading back to camp, David made a rash decision and as he later explained: “I’ve always wanted emus. I bought two today and paid $1,500 for each one. It really made my day. I can always keep them at Michael Jackson’s house at Neverland. He would love them.�

Today’s Bushtucker trial required three people to participate so Myleene, Jason and Matt headed off to win some food.

Before leaving Myleene gave David and Dean lengthy instructions on what needed done around camp while they were gone. She told David how to wash dishes, how to boil drinking water and most of all how not to add washing up liquid to the drinking water.#

Seems easy doesn’t it….apparently not. As soon as the others had left, David decided it would be better to wash teh dishes with shampoo….AND CONDITIONER! David was pleased with his shiny soft dishes, so he took it one step further and used some body lotion to moisturise the cutlery.

David and Dean also managed to let the fire go out for the first time since the show began, but at least they didn’t burn the place down!

With Malandra Burrows leaving last night and Jan Leeming tonight, we have five celebrities left in the jungle. The most popular David Gest, with everyone waiting on him hand and foot. The ever popular, nice but funny guy, Jason Donovan, the handy-man . The beautiful Myleene Klass, everyone’s pin up and really very nice person. The charming Matt Willis who gets on with everyone and is always smiling and lastly Dean Gaffney who has tackled his trials, in sheer audible panic but always returned to camp with a good number of meals.

David and Jan have kept the camp both entertained and irritated with their swinging friendship and enmity. David has been upsetting Jan with his unwillingness to pull his weight, being spoilt by all and unappreciation of her cooking. But they have enjoyed the banter over tooth brushing (David telling Jan that he has some one to brush his teeth for him back home), David encouraging her singing, posing for Play Boy Centre fold and anything else he feels the ‘gulible’ Jan will believe. His never ending amusing games have kept both the viewer and camper, highly entertained. Now the couple have split forever, as Jan has said that in spite of his dinner invitation, she would not be going out with him because he had become boring. ( Anyone agree???). Will she still get the promised diamond-stoned cross?

After Dean’s homecoming with five of the six stars, having braved, with screams of terror, a completely dark cave filled with cockroaches, biting ants, spiders and frogs and a strawberry cream cake that was blown up because the third key for the padlocks was not found within the ten allotted minutes, Jan waved goodbye to her fellow campers to head for the luxury six star hotel, friends and hopefully, family. We will miss her (not her whinging) with the cheeky smile, working around the camp fire and spirited discussions with David. Her final night was spent watching a furious storm, lightning and thunder, sharing dreams (David’s was the best with his shooting of all the staff and walking out with Myleene), sad good bye’s and final interview with Ant and Dec. Who will be the next to go???

Selected to take on the Temple of Doom, Dean was in high spirits as he went to meet Ant and Dec.

Dean began to panic when he realised that his trial was to go inside a pitch black cave-like tomb and once he inside the tomb would be sealed trapping him. Unable to see even his hand in front of his face, Dean would need to use touch to collect stars from inside the tomb.

Also joining him inside the tomb were cockroaches, rats, green ants, spiders, toads and lots of slime and cobwebs.

Dean soon lost his cool and was jumping and screaming around the tomb: “Slimy slimy, horrible horrible, slimy slime.�

As green ants began to bite him he yelped: “Oh baby, oh yeah! Come on baby!�

Outside the tomb Ant and Dec began to collapse in hysterics mouthing the word “baby� to one another.

“I’m being bitten alive guys,� he complained as he felt his way past the cobwebs.

Retrieving three stars successfully he then had to delve inside a well full of toads and frogs to retrieve the next star.

Getting that one, he then began to retch and gag at the horrific smell that filled the cavern: “Ahhhhh, the smell – I’ve never felt anything like it in my life!â€?

Retrieving a fifth star and placing it into his collecting bag, Dean ran out of time and was hauled out of the tomb and was soon jumping around the jungle clearing spitting in a dramatic fashion and yelling: “I’m being bitten alive.�

I know that Dean may not come across as the bravest man in camp, but I actually think it’s quite admirable that he has faced up to his fears so well. He never shys away from a challenge and I think he really excelled a few nights ago when he managed to spend the night in a pitch black bunker with only Malandra Burrows and a crowd of rats for company. He may have screamed and shouted, but he stuck it out and won the breakfast…..well done Dean!

It would seem that ITV’s jungle celebrities are literally fading before our eyes!

Jason Donovan was given scales today to weigh all the happy campers. Here is their weights when they entered the jungle and their weights now…..what a difference!

David Gest 13st 5 lb 11st 5 lb

Matt Willis 13st 2 lb 12st 2 lb

Jason Donovan 12st 11st 1 lb

Jan Leeming 8st 3 lb 7st 8 lb

Myleene Klass 9st 1 lb 8st 5 lb

Malandra Burrows 9st 4 lb 8st 6 lb

Dean Gaffney 9 st 4lb 8st 5lb

The People reported:

I’M A Celebrity star Dean Gaffney was last night branded “disgusting” – for playing on his mother’s serious illness to win viewers’ sympathy.

The ex-EastEnders actor was covered in slime and cockroaches in a Bushtuck-er Trial after whining: “I’m doing this for my sick mum.”

But a revolted family member claimed Dean, 28, IGNORES ailing Marian, 52, when he is in the UK.

James Carey, who also accused the star of being obsessed with busty girls, told The People: “It’s disgusting the way Dean has behaved.

“He travels half way around the world to go on TV and tell everyone that his mum is ill.

“But when he’s at home Dean hardly lifts a finger. He’s not interested in his mum, he’s too busy. He once told her mum to get on a bus after she asked him to pick her up in his car.

“The whole family is up in arms over Dean talking about his mum on the show. We are not amused. He has put his fame before looking after her.”

Marian has been in and out of hospital in recent years and relies on regular help and support from family and friends at her home in West London.

James, whose sister Georgina is married to Dean’s brother Gary, said: “Marian needs people to be there for her and to visit.

“Gary is a good son. He and my sister are really good to her. He takes his mum places and spends a lot of time with her.

“They have a close relationship, he’s always popping in to check on her – but Dean is the complete opposite.”

A trio of celebs quite literally took the plunge in today’s Bushtucker Trial to win food and treats for the camp…and for one camper it would be a particularly hair raising experience.

Dean Gaffney, Lauren Booth and Phina Oruche discovered that to win a possible 12 stars they would have to bungee from a height of 100ft throwing paint bombs at targets on the ground below them.

A bold Phina was first to leap off Jungle Falls. As the countdown from five began Phina wasted no time in jumping off the platform into thin air. She performed a perfect swallow dive scoring a bullseye into the bargain and the first pair of meal tickets.

A decidedly less-than-bold Dean was next up: “I’ve got butterflies in my stomach, I’m really scared but I have got to do it.”

Toes teetering on the edge 100ft up a panicky Dean squealed: “I feel dizzy. Look how high up we are. My hands are shaking.”

He stepped into space and no-one was more surprised than he was when he scored a direct hit and landed another two meals for camp.

As Lauren was strapped into her safety harness she assured the safety team: “We are hard core, we bungee from helicopters.”

She made it a hat-trick of hits when she also managed to splatter the star on the ground despite letting go of the paint bomb very early on.

“We’re going for all 12,” she cried. “It’s going to be the biggest night in camp.”

But her optimism was short lived. Returning to the platform straight away for her second attempt she missed the target by inches. Dean went again as Phina muttered: “He is going to do this or I will kick his head in.”

Her encouragement fell on deaf ears though and despite Dean taking a leaf out of the book of former I’m A Celeb trial expert John Fashanu as he urged himself to ‘Focus’, the ex-EastEnder also fell short with his second bomb.

Phina, who was next up, seemed supremely confident. “I don’t mind bringing home the bacon,” she declared striding towards the platform. But she couldn’t emulate the success of her first attempt, dropping the paint balloon as she leapt from the crane. The camp would get six meals for dinner.

For a shaky Lauren the experience had been too much: “You quite literally nearly frightened me to death. I actually passed out, I blacked out for a second. I shocked myself and have taken a little bit of time getting the equilibrium going.”

Back in camp Lauren retold the tale: “What a morning. Seriously, [Medic] Bob had to take me to one side and give me medical attention. That was the worst [trial]. It was like falling out of a building. I went over the edge and did not remember what happened until I was bouncing. There were spots exploding before my eyes.”

Successfully retrieving the Chest, the celebrities were given a parcel from their loved ones as well as a letter from someone special and all were thrilled with their treats which included strawberries, Tabasco sauce, chocolate cake, biscuits…and a Pot Noodle!

The celebrities were told that each of their letters must be read out by another of the celebrities and the tears were soon flowing.

Jason got particularly emotional, bursting into tears as he was shown a photograph of his partner Angela and children, waiting for him at the Versace hotel. Matt also had a tear in his eye as he was read a heartfelt emotional letter from his girlfriend Emma.

Phina read Myleene’s letters from her parents – Magdalena and Oscar – and fiancée Graham. She burst into floods of tears as soon as Phina began reading.

The letter from her parents read: “We have been watching you all while still in the UK and have enjoyed it tremendously. The night sky is beautiful here especially the Orion display. Perhaps when you gaze up into the sky tonight you might think of the words of Miss Saigon and think of breathing in the same air as us tonight as you are so close.�

Fiancee Graham sent a letter to his “Jungle Bunny� telling her to “have fun, stay strong and I miss you big time. I’m even eating less in support of you.�

“It was just so overwhelming because it’s like you have been institutionalised,� she said. “You are so used to seeing the same greenery and faces and suddenly ‘Wham’ you get a taste of home.�

Lauren read David’s letters from pals Tito Jackson and Jane Russell and he looked emotional, especially when he heard that Michael Jackson had been watching his jungle antics.

His first letter from Tito Jackson read: “Respect to you for staying in the jungle and not leaving in the first six hours. But you must have a hundred and one reasons for staying there and everyone sends their love. My kids think you are the best Uncle in the world for doing this at your age and after all you have been through in the past few years. David, how are you coping without the maid and the chef? Have you told them about Vaginika Seaman yet? Michael was watching you on TV in London recently and told me: ‘That man never changes but I wish him all the best and would love to see him win the show as he has come a long way in that jungle. Rather him than me. Ha ha ha’.�

Matt looked particularly upset and had a definite tear in his eye as Faith read his letter from his girlfriend Emma.

“To my gorgeous boy, I can’t quite believe we haven’t spoken for over a week. I’ve been utterly lost not having you around and there is a whopping great hole permanently next to me that only you can fill so make sure you don’t lose too much weight mate. I’ll finish this note by saying spending this much time away from you has only confirmed for me even more that I don’t want to be without you again. I don’t work without you. You are the love of my life and I’m so proud of you for staying true to who you are and not putting on an act for the cameras. I love you with all of my heart, body and soul from my head to my toes and back. I love you Matthew.� Emma xxxx.

Jan read Jason’s letters and he was already in tears before she had even begun because of the photograph that he had seen of his family at the Versace hotel where they and all the other friends and family were waiting for their loved ones to return.

“Dear Daddy, I miss you so much that I’m keeping a diary so you don’t miss anything I’ve done while you’re in the jungle. I love you so much. Gemma.�

“Dear Daddy, I love you so much and I’ve lost another tooth. Love from Zac.�

“J, I think the kids have said the important stuff. We all miss and love you so much. Love always, Angela.�

Phina was also blubbing as Myleene read her letter from friend Frances: “Your friends and family are so proud of you and remember the big guy is looking on. The Toxteth massive are threatening to parachute food into camp. Stefano promises to spoil you like a Princess when you get out of the jungle.�

David read Lauren’s letter from her husband Craig: “Everyone back home sends their love. You’re my, and the girls, Queen of the Jungle. The girls miss you loads but they are telling anyone who will listen that you are in the jungle and they have come to Oz to rescue you and you are the best mummy in the whole world. Not just waiting but aching to see you. Love you to the Mars.�

Malandra read Dean’s letter from his twin girls Charlotte and Chloe which also saw him filling up: “Hi Daddy, we think you are doing really well. Keep up the good work. When you’d done the trial we thought you was going to faint. It was very funny. We are all very proud of you so be careful of the spiders and the snakes and we all love you so, so much. Much love from Chloe, Char and Mummy.�

Matt read Faith’s letter from partner Len and she got so choked during the reading that she couldn’t even speak.

“It seems so long since you left. I miss you so much. You seem to be doing so well. We’d like to see more of you when you let your hair down.�

Scott read Jan’s letter from friend Sue:

“Everyone I know is backing you to overcome whatever else you have to do. Keep focussed and you may even become Queen of the Jungle. But if not, you’ve proved yourself to be one amazing woman.�

Jan read Scott’s letter and he was thrilled to hear from his best friend Hofit. The letter was a fitting end to all of the letters from home and the celebrities had a laugh listening to it.

“Who would have thought that my favourite pampered Princess would last in the jungle this long. I miss my partner in crime, my gossip buddy. I can see that you have settled well and adjusted to your new home. Who could have ever thought you could live with eleven strangers and now five straight men! Everyone is cheering you on and no matter what happens now Scotty, you are Queen of the Jungle.�

War is raging in the two camps with much hostility between the teams and within the camps. Phina Oruche and Jan Leeming are at loggerheads, tears from those missing family and friends and male concern for Jan, in the all female camp. It is getting a lot tougher now, with much fighting, tears, bickering, hunger and frayed nerves. The next Bushtucker trial will mean the winner’s camp will be immune from the first eviction, so competitiveness has reached boiling point.

After a hearty, sea food feast and sound sleep, in the women’s Snake Rock Camp and rice in the men’s Base Camp, the women awoke with full tummies, singing and dancing whereas the men opened their eyes in misery, empty tums and complaining of no energy. There was concern for David Gest who would not eat anything until Matt Willis managed to feed him a couple of spoons of rice. (I DO WISH THEY HAD THEIR NAMES ON THEIR CLOTHES IN THE FRONT AS WELL AS THE BACK SO THAT WE CAN SEE WHO IS WHO especially when it comes to Matt and Toby Ansis).

One by one, the men trudged off to the Bush Telegraph Room to complain of their hunger, failing health and energy, with Scott declaring that he would fight to the death to bring food back for the men. Jan, wailing in exasperation, at the end of her energy, crying buckets, saying that the public were trying to break her by voting her to do all the trials and Phina, unsussessfully attempted to console her by stating that they enjoyed watching her but she could not be comforted and it ended with a really nasty argument between them.

Phina suggested that Jan either feigned fainting or refused to do the next trial. Scott Henshall adamantly stated that if the trial was eating bugs, then the girls could win, in spite of the men living on ‘the delusion of eating, in their dreams’. The Bushtucker Duel meant that the two contestants had to out-eat the other, to win. Both refused to eat the locusts and kangaroo testicles, anus, balls, eyes and tongue. They consumed a gooey grub-smoothie, smelling of dirty feet and a foul cheesy, mouth burning fruit, earning two stars respectively but Scott won the contest by adding a silk worm to his meal, jumping up and down and stamping his feet to down it, earning a third star. Poor little things, referring to the silkworms.

They had been urged by Ant and Dec to eat more of the ‘feast’, as many had done in the past, everything being safe to eat. Jan and Scott remained immovable. Jan suggested that Ant and Dec try it and asked if they ever had, to be told ‘don’t be ridiculous, of course not’. Scott arrived back at camp, jubilantly shouting his victory and three stars, to the guys, too weak to do more than lie on their beds murmuring, ‘Good work Scott’. Jan explained to the girls that in spite of her agent telling her otherwise, the insects, etcetera, were the ‘the real thing’. Her fellow campers were very sympathetic and thrilled to be getting two meals to share amongst the six.

The men have been boasting of three wins out of five but they did not get their questions correct for the treats in the two chests, so lost out. Toby and Dean Gaffney brought back the treat chest after fighting it out with Myleene Klass and Phina. Myleene remarked on how the two men had been shouting at each like ‘a married couple’ Each team had to carry a life sized dummy up and down the banks in the jungle, detangling it from the strings they had to follow, till they could unlock the padlock with the attached key. The girls were not physically able to cope, as much as they wanted the chilled champagne and large slab of chocolate. Unfortunately, the men lost out too as they, once again, did not get the question right. The men were really disappointed at getting the question wrong but whooped loudly in delight to dupe the girls into thinking think that they had. It worked. All, bar David, enjoyed their meal of avocado, potatoes and emu sausages. As starving as he was, David would not eat the emu sausage. Looking pale and frail, he had both camps worrying about him.

The trial for immunity will have twelve stars in the murky river water, ‘What Lurks Beneath’, guarded by alligators amongst other challenges and the person chosen by the public from each team, will have to dive for the stars. Malandra Burrows (named after MALcolm, dad and sANDRA, Mom) was hoping to be chosen for this trial but Phina was the publics choice to compete against her ‘arch enemy’, Scott Will the fluff fly again, after the notorious battle where these two fought over a treat chest, leaving Scott bitten and scratched. Scott threw his hat to the ground, in anger at having to do the trial with Phina who did an exhilarating war dance. Let the games begin!!!

It is open war between Base Camp (men) and Snake Rock Camp (women) after the most publicised Scott Henshall and Phina’s violent wrestling match. Scott’s stories of Phina’s attack worsening with each telling and the disgraced Phina Orusche wanting to go home. As does the poor starving David, showing his chubby torso for all to see, woefully declaring himself skinny and dramatically warning that people have died after a week of no food, much to Jason Donovan’s amusement. The men were down to rice for all meals, refusing to eat the beans and the women were chewing raw beans, tasting of crayons (Phina getting violently ill) as if they were peanuts, as they did not have the energy to cook them.

Scott and Jan Leeming set off, hand in hand, to tackle Bushtucker trial ‘Catch a Falling Star’. They were dropped out of a plane 14,000 ft above the ground with parachutes opening at 12,000 ft and being held, from the back, by an experienced person. Although both were terrified, they did not show it as they plunged to the ground, Jan first, catching colourful flares (stars) on their way down. Jan won with 4 stars, Scott getting 2 of the six shot out to each of them, from the plane. Scott returned to camp with a suffering male ego, once again beaten by a woman, where a desperately hungry David Gest asked which woman they should barbeque first! The women enjoyed a banquet of tropical sea food after Phina led her fellow campers into wholeheartedly singing ‘For She’s a Jolly Good Fellow’ to a gratified Jan. There was concern for the hungry men, with Jan, opposed by Phina, suggesting that they let the men win the tucker chest.

Dean Gaffney and Malandra Burrows (called a Jungle Rat by her ex best friend whose family she is rumoured to have torn apart after a four year affair with her husband, according to ‘The Irish People’ newspaper) set off for the battle of the tucker chest. They had to climb rope ladders and swing out from a tree, to grab at the dangling key to the chest. After three valiant attempts, (Malandra, half-heartedly climbing no more than two rungs), Dean carried the chest triumphantly back to a jubilant six starving men. Sad to say they did not get the question right (who has the highest IQ, men or women?) In their shamed state, they said women, to live another foodless day (besides rice). We leave the men in a huddle with their arms around each singing ‘Always look on the bright side’.

Bug eating, Bushtucker Jewel, is the next trial coming up, with Jan and Scott once again, chosen by the public to battle it out for the ‘winner takes all’. Will her sympathy and horror at eating the creepy crawlies and worse, get Jan to let Scott win?????

Dean’s leap of faith won him and the boys the Celebrity Chest.

“There has been so much animosity between the men’s side and the women’s side so I have got to do this for Scott and the boys,� he said before setting off. “I think that this chest will be as competitive as Scott and Phina’s. There will certainly be no violence involved but if I can put my opponent off in any way, shape or form I will do that.�

He raced up a rope ladder dangling from a tree, beating a struggling Malandra to the top which won him the chance to dive into mid air to grab the chest key.

After numerous failed attempts he finally caught the key and jubilantly took the chest back to Base Camp.

The question posed to win breakfast cereal and milk was: ‘Who has the higher IQ? Men or women?’ After much debate and Scott’s reminder that Carol Vorderman was pretty clever, they opted for the fairer sex…and were wrong. Instead of cereal they ended up with inflatable sumo suits.

David Gest and Jan Leeming are keeping everyone highly entertained and irritated, with their comic behaviour and Dave’s tall stories.

David has held the interest of all with his humorous fantasies, always ending in someone dying. Myleene Klass was gripped in sympathy as he shared his ‘tragic’ childhood, not realising it was another fabrication until he said that both his mother and father had a leg missing. Never a dull moment in the camp.

Jan surprised all by taking Jason Donovan with her to brave the Snake Pit. It was a transparent tank with various compartments containing snakes, scorpions, spiders and other creepy crawlies. Jan, after being lifted into the ‘snake pit’, had to break the seals of the 12 compartments and plunge her hand amongst the snakes, etcetera, to remove the tight fitting 12 stars. After all the tears and threatening not to do the trial, she calmly worked her way through them all, snakes slithering over her and rising up to stare inquisitively into her face, taking back ten of the twelve stars. The most achieved to date. Jason encouraged her every step of the way, safely on the outside of the snake pit. When asked by Ant and Dec how she had managed to brave the snakes when she had been so terrified, she replied that she had asked God to be with her and then felt completely calm. The campers complained of hearing the snake stories from Jan for the rest of the day.

David and Dean managed to bring the food box safely back to the camp with out breaking one of the six, balancing egg. They all enjoyed a meal of egg fried rice.

The next Bushtucker trial, ‘Bull in a China Shop’, has once again been given to a shocked Jan (by public vote) with full sympathy from all her fellow campers. She is convinced that the public hate her but others think she is simply being punished for being such a whinger. Personally, I think she is amazing.

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.
