I’m A Celebrity – Get Me Out of Here! Six Star Luxury.

I'm A Celebrity: The CastIt was a really good touch taking us to the six star hotel to see how the celebrities were enjoying themselves after leaving the jungle, seeing the people who were important to them and best of all, their reaction to ‘real food’. Most of them tucked into the enormous breakfast buffet but Jan Leeming settled for a bowl of fruit before heading for the hotel for a luxury bath and then off with her friend on a shopping spree. VIP treatment all the way.

Spoilt and eccentric David Gest had friends and staff running frantically around his luxurious quarters, throwing out unsuitable pillows, blankets, ordering extra towels and everything had to be laid out ‘just so’.

Scott Henshall was worrying about meeting up with Phina Oruche for round two, expecting more bites and scratches, but was pleasantly surprised to be greeted with a hug and a kiss. The paparazzi went wild over both Myleene Klass (whose boyfriend forgot to bring the engagement with him, Myleene had said she would love to get married in the jungle) and Phina, photographing them in various bikinis and glamorous positions.

Faith Brown had to leave the hotel early to return home for her husband’s scheduled hip operation. She said would have loved to stay longer but her husband was her first priority.

The family celebrities were joyously welcomed by the children in their lives, all enjoying the many luxury facilities of the hotel. Lauren Booth radiated happiness at being with her children as did Dean Gaffney.

Matt Willis was a King indeed. King of the jungle and fussed over wherever he went. Although we were all surprised at his winning, as he had not been placed very high by the bookies, he made a great king, excelling in his last trial of bug eating.

Reunited with Toby Anstis, the four musketeers (Jason Donovan, Toby Anstis, David and Matt) were soon romping around boisterously.

We did not see much of Malandra Burrows, but with that gorgeous hunk all over her, can we blame her?

We left the remaining celebrities partying together and eating non stop.

Sad to say, we will just have to wait for the next ‘I’m a Celebrity – Get Me Out of Here!’ to be able to enjoy jungle life, safely from our chairs in front of the TV with refreshments, in abundance, close at hand. It will be good to see you again in the jungle, Ant and Dec!!!

I’m A Celebrity: Faith Brown Leaves The Jungle!

Faith Brown: I'm A CelebrityFaith Brown found herself in the bottom two for the first time last night on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. She was joined by Malandra Burrows and while I for one was sure Malandra would leave, time was up for Faith Brown.

In her interview with presenters Ant and Dec last night, the comedienne said: “It is nice to be back out but I loved every minute.

“It was good because I was like the mum doing the cooking and everything. It was a great experience, I wouldn’t miss it for the world. It was fantastic.”

But Faith said it was “hard going” having to cook for ten or 12 people.

However, she had “formed such an amazing bond” with the other contestants.

I think Faith will be very missed both in camp and on our screens. She was funny, witty and very kind. I can’t believe Jan Leeming is still in there!!!!!

I’m A Celebrity: Phina Oruche and Faith Brown Find David Gest “Strange Looking!”

David Gest: I'm A CelebrityFaith and Phina focused on David’s appearance during a chat in the treehouse.

“He is a strange looking man isn’t he?” Phina questioned Faith. “The texture of his face is bizarre. Do you think he has had peels?”

“I don’t know. It’s hard to say,” Faith mused. “I have never seen anybody like that before. I think to me it looks like it [treatment] has gone wrong.”

“And then the hair…” Phina continued.

“It has been sewn in,” Faith suggested.

“But there’s none in the middle,” Phina laughed.

“Maybe he wants it to look natural,” Faith offered. “It’s so unnatural isn’t it?!”

“LA is filled to the gills [with people] like him,” Phina said.

“They have to be beautiful in LA,” Faith agreed.

“The thing is if you don’t admit to where you are the jet black hair doesn’t help him,” Phina thoughtfully added.

When asked by Faith why he went for the ‘jet black’ look Phina decided: “Because it’s a fantasy world. Look what Michael Jackson looks like.”

I’m A Celebrity: Phina Oruche Starts A Bed War!

Phina Oruche: I'm A CelebrityDavid Gest confronted Phina Oruche today about the bed situation, asking her to give Jan her bed in the tree house back.

Lauren said: “We decided earlier that Jan and Faith should have the tree house as they are older women . Phina got tired the other day and asked if she could go up there for one night, now she wants two nights.”

Lauren said to Faith and Jan: “It’s not fair – we need to talk to her. She is young and well.”

“But I don’t want to say anything,” Jan told the girls, worried about a confrontation with Phina.

Faith had a chat with David, today’s leader, telling him “Phina is taking over,” and he promptly called Phina over to discuss Bedgate.

“Can I talk to you for a minute? Jan needs to sleep on that bed.” David said.

But Phina cut in : “I need to sleep in that bed because I just pulled my neck doing the bungee jump…to get tonight’s dinner. So not tonight but maybe tomorrow. I am not being a bitch, I swear. I am just being honest.”

Later Phina asked Jan if she had a problem but Jan chose not to speak up.

“You would tell me wouldn’t you?” Phina said.

“Of course, I am quite an outspoken person.” Jan retorted.

I’m A Celebrity get Me Out Of Here: Celebrities First Shower!

The moment of truth arrived in the jungle this morning when everyone stripped for their first I’m A Celebrity shower.

Myleene Klass: I'm A CelebrityToby Anstis was particularly impressed by presenter Myleene Klass and said: “When I first woke up Myleene walked past me with a skimpy bikini on and that was very tough to bear first thing in the morning.�

David added: “Myleene is just the bomb. Her boyfriend is very lucky. She is a definite 10 in every sense of the word.�

The celebrities decided to double up in the shower to save time and so DJ Toby Anstis left for the shower with Faith Brown– her in a black swimming costume and him in a small pair of white swimming pants.

Toby was excited at the prospect of sharing a shower with the funny woman: “I never thought I’d share a shower with Faith Brown – but I hope it’s not the last [time].”

Faith Brown: I'm A CelebritySlipping his shampoo bottle down his trunks he turned to Faith and said lustily: “Oh Faith, I don’t know what it is. It must be the morning air.�

She laughed hysterically and scolded: “Oh you naughty boy.�

But her chuckling abruptly stopped when David saw her in the shower and said in front of Jason, Matt and Toby: “You could breast feed all of us and we would all have milk. It’s true.�

“I’m no prude,â€? Faith later remarked in the Bush Telegraph. “It’s just I don’t like comments like that.â€?

Jan was also itching to get into the shower and called upon Toby to help her spare her blushes by giving her a hand to strip out of her clothes.

“�I wanted to put my swim suit on so I could go and have a shower so I said ‘Toby, can I borrow your modesty gown because I can’t get my bra off?’ “

Toby valiantly assisted with the delicate operation but it didn’t go quite to plan.

“He helped me off with the modesty gown and I’m standing there in my pants and bra,� she blushed.

Never one to miss a quip Toby joked: “Jan Leeming, you are breaking hearts all over the nation right now!�

Was Jan protesting too much when she later confessed in the Bush Telegraph: “He is a great guy and I’m old enough to be his mother, so don’t think there are any shenanigans because there’s not!�

Toby confided with a smirk in the Bush Telegraph: “What schoolboy didn’t have a crush on Jan Leeming?�

I’m A Celebrity: No One Wants To Sleep With Scott Henshall

Scott Henshall: I'm A CelebrityPoor Scott! Used to having people flock around and hang off his coat tails, this trip to the jungle must be quite a shock to the famous fashion designer.

The six kayakers arrived in camp, only to find themselves faced with their first jungle task. The camp contained only 8 beds and to reach the other two, the group had to build a bridge.

Toby Anstis set to building the bridge and after some time gave up with frustration. Each slab of wood to make the bridge had a certain slot. Scott Henshall took over and completed the task becoming the first person to enter the tree house containing the other two beds. There he found a note instructing him that as he was the first in he must now sleep in it and choose someone to accompany him.

Scott informed the other five: “As I found this message I am sleeping here tonight. Faith you will be sleeping in here with me.� But his bed buddy Faith had second thoughts when she went into the tree house and found it rocked. One by one Scott’s fellow celebrities turned him down, deciding that the tree house was not all it was cracked up to be.

Faith, Toby and Myleene all declined Scott’s offer to accompany him, claiming the rocky tree house would make them queasy and in the end Lauren opted to join – but only after checking a few things:

“Scott, do you fart or snore?�

Poor Scott!

I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here! Profile Of Faith Brown

Faith Brown: I'm A CelebrityName: Faith Brown
Occupation: Comedienne / Impersonator
Age: 65
Phobias: Heights, Maggots
Supporters: Ricky Tomlinson, Christopher Biggins
Special Skills: Cooking, being motherly

At 65-years-old; comedienne, impressionist and actress, Faith Brown, has decided to confront her fear of heights once and for all, by going completely out of her comfort zone and heading into the jungle.

Here the mum of one who recently became a Grandmother for the first time, will come face to face with her life long phobia - even though she can’t even stand on ladder at home.

“I’m terrified of heights, I don’t like heights, and I want to hopefully get over the height business. My worry is going across the swing bridge, that is my big, big nightmare, because I can’t stand on a high ladder let alone anything else, I really can’t. But I’m doing this for my own self assurance, if I can do it that’d be fantastic. That would be absolutely amazing.”

“Eating anything will bother me too but, then again, when you’re out there you don’t want to let the other guys down. As a person I will fight, I will battle. I’ve gone in for it, and I’ll hold my hands up that I’ve put myself up for this so don’t you dare moan, you mustn’t moan about it. And Danielle [daughter] said to me ‘Mum just think positive and don’t moan’.”

And it’s not just Faith who is worried about what lies ahead. Her beloved daughter is concerned her lovely mum could come across as a little over the top:

“Danielle will be screaming at the TV ‘Don’t be over the top Mum!’ Besides the boobs I can be over the top. I don’t mean to be but this is me.

“Danielle said people might take it the wrong way and honestly I’m just going to be myself when I’m there. Danielle also said if things are scary try and be a bit gritty about it. Well it’s all very well saying that, but if you’re hungry things go out the window.”

Faith, who admits she has never even been camping, thinks her role in the jungle will be a maternal one: “I think I will be the eldest and what I want to do is be a shoulder to cry on.

“I will be a team player and I will do it. I’m saying this now, but I’ve got to do it. I have to do it, I don’t want to let people down. I would do anything rather than do that. I don’t like people bad mouthing me!”

Faith is worried about being without coffee, her fitness levels and how she is going to fare without any makeup: “I am really worried about just being able to go to the fridge and eat food whenever I want to. I’ve weaned myself off coffee for the last week and, oh my God, I’m missing it so much.â€?

“Do you know what I’m really worried about? I’ve got naturally curly hair, I blow dry this like mad. Now, as soon as the damp gets to my hair or the wet, I look like David James. On my life, these dreaded curls; I’m really dreading the curly bits. I’m going to have my hat but it’ll look crap!

“I’m hoping I can take mascara in with me, but look at the rest of the face dear. And if they’ve got gorgeous beautiful women going in there - young beautiful girls - I’m going to be thinking ‘Oh dear’!”
