Dom Joly thinks Gillian McKeith “behaved very selfishly” on ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get me out of Here!’.
The comedian – who arrived in camp four days after the rest of the contestants – is not surprised the public continued to vote for the TV nutritionist to take part in trials because of her attention-seeking antics on the show.
He said: “Everybody was quite open and friendly, and I was quickly filled in about the ‘Gillian situation’.
“It turned out that Dr. Gillian McKeith – a woman famous for analysing people’s stools on television and not being a doctor- was afraid of everything.

Dom Joly lost 24lbs on ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’.
The comedian was evicted from the reality TV show last night (02.12.10) and is astonished by the changes in his body after 15 days on a jungle diet.
He said on TV show ‘This Morning’: “I haven’t seen my cheekbones since 1999. It’s insane. It was like going on a forced bootcamp detox – but someone has paid you to do it. It wasn’t pleasant, but it did it!

The plan was cooked up while Shaun and Stacey were retrieving the Celebrity Chest.
Relaying the news of the challenge Dom said: “The basis of a good lie is believability – what’s the biggest lie you’ve ever told Jenny?”

Torrential rain threatened camp on last night’s I’m A celebrity, as Australia’s first day of summer became a wash out.
Unable to sleep the disgruntled celebrities spent most of the night huddled around the camp fire trying to get warm.
In the Bush Telegraph Dom asked, “Can you turn the rain off, I know you control everything please. The creak is like a raging river, swimming pool’s flooded, camp is soaking. I’m soaking enough already!”

Yesterday wasn’t going well for I’m A Celebrity’s Kayla Collins and as she sat looking crestfallen by the camp fire on her own Jenny commented to Dom and Shaun that it’s hard for her but Dom disagreed saying, “Its hard for us…if you looked like that you wouldn’t mind. You’d be like ‘yeah I’m alright who wants it?’ Come on its not hard for her she’s 23 years old. I’d love to be hard up and 23 years old.”
As Dom joined Kayla and Aggro by the fire the camp commented how unlike their wet surroundings, it was the conversation that was drying up. A frustrated Dom tried to turn the chat to Marcel Proust but a confused Aggro replied “What’s that?” whilst Kayla commented “We can’t talk about that because we don’t even know who it is.”

The I’m A Celebrity stars have come to realise that Kayla Collins is a tough, street smart girl.
“Over dunny gate, she went mental, that was pretty girl syndrome that is how she is, she showed the real Kayla, she was angry, you could see it in her eyes, and you wouldn’t mess with that. She’s not stupid, well she is quite stupid but she is street smart. She is tough,” said Dom.
He added in the Bush Telegraph: “The real Kayla is coming out and it’s not a pretty sight. I reckon she’s really high maintenance in real life. Ball buster is the word I’d use.

Dom Joly and Jenny Eclair said they are ready to quit I’m A Celebrity because they are bored with the conversation and camp life.
“I’ve felt fine, weepy, mad, fine, weepy mad today and I’m not sure I can go through another day. It’s like time has stood still like groundhog day.”
Dom agreed: “I’ve had it with this endless round of conversation, I need to talk to someone else, if you weren’t here I would have definitely walked, I need to talk about something else, I sit here and listen to endless conversations about sh** music I hate.

On last night’s I’m A Celebrity, Dom pretended to be a cockroach and sneaked up on Gillian, causing the presenter to burst into laughter.
Dressed in the fancy dress outfit they received after losing yesterday’s chest, the comedian sneaked off to get changed and crept back in to play the prank.
As Gillian sat unaware Dom tapped her on the shoulder. The presenter screamed then burst into fits of hysterics and asked “Did you get the reaction you expected?”

Linford Christie and Dom Joly became emotional on last night’s I’m A Celebrity, when the camp mates opened their parcels from home.
Having won the gifts in the secret mission challenge, feelings were running high as they each took turns to open their gifts.
But it was Linford and Dom who found it the toughest. Linford was in tears after one of his gifts was a picture of his daughter, whilst Dom struggled to read the postcard from his wife and kids. Instead it was read out by Gillian. He later commented, “It was odd hearing my wife’s voice read out by Gillian McKeith.” But the comedian welled up at his message and later admitted, “I never cry, I didn’t cry properly but I couldn’t read my own thing.”
