The RSPCA officially dropped its case against I’m A Celebrity’s Gino D’Acampo and Stuart Manning at Murwillumbah Local Court yesterday.

Stuart Manning and Gino D’Acampo faced charges of animal cruelty after capturing and cooking a rat during their time on the ITV show. However, RSPCA New South Wales recommended the charges be dropped, after ITV was convicted and fined a total of $5576.

Chief Inspector David O’Shannessy said:

“The conviction confirmed that the manner in which the rat was killed, in association with the production of I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here was unacceptable, in that while animals can be killed and prepared for human consumption, this must be done in a manner that inflicts no unnecessary pain, distress or suffering on the subject animal.”

“Given the conviction of ITV Studios and the circumstances surrounding the incident the RSPCA is not proceeding with the charges against D’Acampo and Manning.”

ITV, bosses have apologised for the killing of a rat during filming for reality TV show, I’m A Celebrity.

Celebrity chef Gino D’Acampo and Hollyoaks star Stuart Manning have been charged with alleged animal cruelty after they killed, cooked and ate the rat.

A spokesman for ITV said:

“The production was asked if a rat could be caught and eaten by the celebrities in exile camp to supplement the basic rations they had been provided with for their evening meal,” the spokesman said.

“Having sought health and safety advice, the go-ahead was given purely on this basis, when it became clear that there would not be any harmful effects of eating a properly prepared and cooked rat.

“The production was unaware that killing a rat could be an offence, criminal or otherwise, in New South Wales and accepts that further inquiries should have been made — this was an oversight.

“ITV apologises for this error, and to the celebrities concerned, and will put in place procedures for next year’s series to ensure that this cannot happen again.”

The Sun reports that ITV bosses have also admitted that the rat was a tame one which they bought from a local breeder and released into camp.

I’m A Celebrity star George Hamilton has claimed that the camp mates asked permission from ITV bosses, before they killed and ate a rat.

Gino D’Acampo and Stuart Manning have since been charged with animal cruelty and will appear in court next February, but Hamilton claims that the blame really lies with I’m A Celebrity producers.

George told The Mirror:

“Gino got very mad because we were exiled to a place which was filthy.When Lucy saw a rat , Gino said, ‘We’ve got to get that’.

“So I went into the Bush Telegraph and said, ‘May we eat a rat?’ They were a bit shocked, thought about it and then said we could. It was a very good dinner.”

Former I’m A Celebrity camp mate Stuart Manning has admitted that he saw Kim Woodburn naked in the jungle.

Stuart revealed that he stumbled upon Kim as she was bathing in her birthday suit.

Stuart told The Sun: “When I saw her having a bath it scared me half to death. It freaked the living daylights out of me – I never want to go through that again.”

When he heard that the How Clean Is Your House star was planning to pose for a dirty magazine, Stuart scoffed: “Kim is a complete battle-axe.”

After reading Sabrina’s comments this morning on how sexy she found Stuart Manning, we felt sure that the pair would hook up asap. However Stuart was much less enthusiastic about the prospects of a romance when he appeared on GMTV this morning.

When questioned about his relationship with Sabrina, Stuart said:

‘Everyone thinks it was a little bit more but it’s not – we’re just friends. Sorry.

‘I really enjoyed her company we’re at the same age bracket, and we had good chats, that’s all it was.’

Stuart said that he had seen Sabrina for just two minutes at the hotel as she was on her way to be interviewed for ITV2′s I’m A Celebrity……Get Me Out Of Here Now!

We’d love to hear what you think about Stu’s comments. Do you think that he’s just playing it coy until he meets Sabrina, or was he stringing her along the whole time? Leave your comments below.

Despite constant questioning and teasing from her other camp mates, I’m A Celebrity’s Sabrina Washington played it very coy in the jungle camp. She never admitted to fancying Stuart Manning, even though it was as plain as the nose on her face.

Today things have changed and Sabrina has given a very revealing interview to The Sun, in which she admits to finding Stuart sexy and hopes that he will be in touch now that he’s left camp.

Sabrina said:

“Stuart has the sexiest torso of any guy I know. He’s such an attractive guy and most girls would be attracted to him.

“We haven’t had the chance to talk yet about the future because he’s in the jungle and I’m out here.

“Anything could happen. Stuart looks good. He’s got a good shape. I mean he’s fantastic-looking.

“But what’s more important is his personality and how he treats me. That’s what’s more important in a man. He treated me very well.

“Maybe there was a tender curiosity between us – we’re about the same age and we have the same interests. So obviously we’re going to veer together.

“I’m an old-fashioned girl, and I’m hoping he’s going to call me up when he gets out of the jungle.

“Stuart is a genuine guy. He’s a gentleman. I enjoyed spending time with him. We like the same music, we like the same food. We have loads of things in common.”

Sabrina also denied Joe Bugner’s claims that she and Stuart were faking a romance in order to stay on the show.

She said:

“Stuart and I liked each other and that was it. There was noting false about it.

“I wasn’t aware that Joe has said those things about us since he came out.

“Joe wasn’t a team player when he first came into the jungle. But that changed as time went on. He was a big friendly giant – a BFG.”

Stuart Manning has been voted off ITV’s I’m A Celebrity.

The former Hollyoaks actor found himself in the bottom two with snooker legend, Jimmy White. Unreality TV are not huge fans of Stu or anything but we are a little confused by who could possibly be voting for mute Jim.

On leaving the jungle Stuart said:

“I’m a bit disappointed because I wanted to be in the last three, but it will be nice to see all my family and friends.”

Tonight on I’m A Celebrity the camp mates were given the chance to win an evening out of camp.

Split into two teams they would have to answer questions on news that has happened back home whilst they have been in the jungle, the team with the highest score would win the prize. But Kim declared that if her team won she wouldn’t leave the camp.

As Sabrina and Justin were up for the public vote they were the team captains. Justin picked Jimmy and Kim whilst Sabrina selected Stuart and Gino. Jimmy mocked Sabrina when she selected Stuart by singing “Love Is In The Air.”

Some of the questions included, which celebrity chef has just revealed his brand new face after a cosmetic procedure to smooth out his wrinkles, Marco Pierre White or Gordon Ramsay? Gino, thought this was a trick question and picked the wrong answer, Marco Pierre White. This lost Sabrina’s team one point.

Justin’s team were asked, which ex-Liberty X singer recently announced that she is pregnant, Jessica Taylor or Michelle Heaton. The team answered incorrectly saying Michelle Heaton. On hearing the news, Stuart who used to date Jessica said Congratulations Jess, that’s brilliant news. I knew you wanted a baby for ages. Well done that’s awesome.”

Sabrina’s team were asked, as reported in the press, who had dumped her partner live on television last week, Katie Price or Peaches Geldof? Stuart said, “Well it’s going to be Peaches Geldof because Katie said that Alex is coming out here.”

But then added, “Something inside me says Katie has the nuts to do it.” They opted for Katie which was the correct answer and Stuart said “Knew that girl would do it.”

Sabrina, Stuart and Gino gained the highest score just beating Justin, Kim and Jimmy 6-5 and won and evening out of camp in the Jungle Karaoke Bar. As well as the Karaoke machine they had beer and nuts.

They chose a handful of songs for the song list provided. First up was Mis-Teeq hit Scandalous, followed by Hit Me Baby One More Time (Britney Spears) and I Will Survive (Gloria Gaynor). Gino and Stuart then serenaded Sabrina when they sung Sex Bomb (Tom Jones & Mousse T) but Gino complained that Stuart was more a “backing singer” whilst Sabrina wowed the boys with her version of Valarie (Mark Ronson & Amy Winehouse).

Stuart Manning and Sabrina Washington volunteered to take part in their first joint bushtucker trial on tonight’s I’m A Celebrity show.

They were told that the trial was called Buzz Off and Stuart had to direct Sabrina from the hive whilst Sabrina, dressed as a bumblebee, had to navigate across the assault course and release the stars.

Attached to Sabrina’s helmet were two antenna and she would have to prevent them from touching the copper rail. If they touched the rail, they would light up and Stuart would receive an electric shock plus other surprises.

The course was broken up into five sections, the first three sections were worth one star each and the last two sections two stars each. Stuart needed to navigate Sabrina to each star and she would have to open the compartment to win the meal for camp.

However, if she touches the rail three times in one section they lose the star and would have to move on to the next.

The pair got off to a bad start, Sabrina had taken a few tiny steps when she quickly hit the rail three consecutive times which caused three shocks for Stuart plus a host of critters poured onto him, “Man those electric shocks hurt!” he said.

Having lost the first star, Sabrina moved onto the second section of the course. She quickly touched the rail twice more which caused Stuart to squirm after the shocks and the bugs that continued to fall.

Getting into her stride she narrowly missed the second star and touched the rail for the third time and they lost their second star. A disappointed Sabrina said “I’m scared to even move to even move my legs. This is so bloody hard.”

Conscious she was dressed as a bumble bee, Sabrina asked Stuart how she looked and he said “you’re looking good from here.”

On third section, Sabrina had to navigate over a log whilst still attempting not to touch the rail which her antenna’s. She had a shaky start and touched it twice causing Stuart to receive another two shocked and have gunge and green ants poured over him. An uncomfortable Stuart said “Oh my god the ants hurt”. But Sabrina reached the star and won their first meal for camp.

Having reached the fourth section Sabrina hit the rail once, but then successfully navigated the star and won a further two meals for camp.

On their last section Sabrina was distracted after being stung by a wasp and hit the rail three consecutive times. A disgruntled Stuart received another three shocks and more green ants poured onto him.

A disappointed Stuart and Sabrina returned to camp and the pair were consoled by their camp mates after they revealed they had only won three meals out of a possible seven.

But Gino was more interested in finding out if anything happened between Stuart and Sabrina whilst they were alone in the jungle.

Getting straight to the point Gino whispered to Sabrina, “Did you do any kissing or what?”

Sabrina “No. Gino you’re such a trouble maker. We were so disappointed that we got three stars that’s all we were talking about on the way back.”

I’m a Celebrity camp mates Joe Bugner and Stuart Manning have ended up in the bottom two tonight and been sent to “jungle jail”.

The actor and boxer polled the lowest amount of public votes and Ant explained:

“When you get to jungle jail, you’ll face a head-to-head trial. The winner will return here to camp. The loser will leave.”
