Former King Of The Jungle, Joe Swash has reportedly been declared bankrupt. Despite landing a TV deal with Living which saw him shadowing Pamela Anderson for a fly on the wall show, Joe was unable to pay £20,000 that he owed the taxman.
The bankruptcy was made official today at London’s High Court of Justice. Thankfully Joe will escape much of the media furore as he is currently in Australia, for an appearance on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity.
Joe Swash will co-host this year’s I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here Now on ITV2.
The Sun, reports that the former King Of The Jungle will present the show alongside Caroline Flack.
“Joe will be running around doing things like trying out the Bushtucker Trials ahead of the stars,” said a source. “The idea is to use his enthusiasm to give the show some extra energy.”
I’m A Celebrity contestant, Joe Swash has revealed that when he was growing up he really aspired to be a burger flipper in McDonalds.
"When I was a kid, the two jobs that I wanted was to work at McDonald’s. I can’t remember the other one. I wanted to work in the Golden Arches," he said.
George Takei and Joe Swash have sahred a sneaky kiss on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity.
The former Eastenders and former Heroes actor kissed twice last night and campmates are beginning to wonder whats going on.
Swash told Takei: "Keep them thinking, Georgie boy, and give us a kiss. Keep them on their toes. They don’t need to know what’s going on between me and you, do they?"
Things really kicked off in the I’m A celebrity jungle last night as Nicolas nerves rose prior to her bushtucker trial. David teased Nicola, which she found less than funny. After she had departed Simon Webbe and Carly Zucker then attacked David for his lack of sensitivity.
He shouted:
“Do you not like her or something?” David agreed but said: “I would say exactly the same that she doesn’t like me. There’s obviously a problem.”
Joe Swash was not amused when he arrived to take part in his third trial. When greeted by Ant and Dec he said: “I didn’t think I would be back this soon not after yesterday that’s a bit mean.”
Joined by Robert, they were told the rules. Both had to enter aseparate chamber and compete head to head to win food for their camp. They each had to climb to the bottom of their chamber where they were chained in leg irons, a waist belt and hand cuffs.
As he prepared to compete in his latest bushtucker trial, Joe Swash s found it hard to hide his nerves from the rest of the group but not in a way they would have liked.
After his failure to beat Nicola yesterday he said: “Listen, I wanna have some dinner tonight so I’m going to try my best.”
Getting a consolatory hug from George he was unable to contain his nerves and got a telling off from Dani. She said: “Stop farting. You can’t just sit next to people raise your leg and let it out, George doesn’t want to smell it. I know you’re nervous and all that.”
In the I’m A Celebrity Home Camp, Martina , Brian and Joe chatted about bathing.
Joe said he doesn’t want anyone seeing his ‘little wiener’ when Martina asked if he had a name for it, Joe revealed that he called his ‘Alfie’. Dani said that she’d never known a bloke that had a name for his penis and Martina joked: “From what I hear, men give their penis a name for one reason only – that they don’t have a total stranger making all their decisions for them.”
Tonight is the night I dread on I’m A Celebrity , the night where the jungle campers are made to eat kangaroo balls and witchedy grubs!
I flicked over to tonight’s show 20 minutes late just in time to see Joe Swash licking, then chewing a kangaroo penis and Nicola Mclean eating a roo testicle.
I was doing ok until Nicola’s mouth started dripping with God knows what, at which point I nearly met my dinner again.
Is this sort of thing really necessary? If ITV don’t think it’s bad to make us vomit in the comfort of our own living room then they should at least think about the poor animals involved.
Former Eastenders star, Joe Swash has gotten badly sunburned since he arrive in Australia and filming for I’m a Celebrity hasn’t even started filming yet!
Joe fell asleep on the beach without sun cream and show medics have had to treat him for severe burning on his stomach.
Joe told The Daily Star: “My belly has turned bright red and my back is completely white.
“I am glowing. I look ridiculous. The weather looked cloudy and I didn’t think about sun-screen.”
