Toby Anstis

It 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!!!

Toby Anstis has become the first celebrity to be voted out of I’m A Celebrity 2006. He was told tonight and it was obvious that he was gutted at the result.

Toby is a nice guy. He’s friendly and kind and normal….three things that the British public don’t vote for. Now if he had been a victim of plastic surgery gone wrong, or an eighties heart throb things might have been different, but ‘C’est La Vie’

The one consolation for Toby will be that he gets to spend the next week and a half living it up in a six star hotel with his gorgeous girlfriend while the rest of the celebs sleep in the open, eat rice and poo in a chemical toilet. There is definitely an up side!

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!!!

Before going into the jungle, former newsreader, Jan Leeming, was informed that DJ Toby Anstis had a bit of a crush on him when he was younger.

With this knowledge in mind Jan spent some time today ‘getting to know’ Toby and showing him her best dancing moves.

“You used to come into our living rooms every day! I’ve said in every interview I have done that I was excited to be going into the jungle with you,“ Toby revealed.

“Really?� said flirted Jan.

They then spoke about clubbing and dancing and Jan showed Toby some of her disco moves, shaking her bottom: “I adore disco dancing.� she said.

Toby said: “You are repressed aren’t you?�

“Yes I am. I was far too repressed when I was younger. The worst I did was scrumping apples [that had fallen from a tree.]

“I think I have just scratched the surface with you,� Toby said in a bemused fashion.

Then to her delight, he told her he is going to take her to a Lionel Richie concert when they leave the jungle: “There is still a little girl in you.�

“Yes there is,� she agrees.

Later, Scott comments in the Bush Telegraph about Jan’s penchant for Mr Anstis and its clear her affection is apparent to all.

“I think she secretly fancies him. She does seem to like him very much and has issues with men, wanting to be in control. I think she does have a soft spot for Toby. I told him to tint his eyelashes. I think she does secretly fancy him.

“You get a fat old man with lots of money with a young bird on your arm. Toby is like 36 or 38 anyway why shouldn’t they? She does have a soft spot for him which is very sweet.â€?

Jan Leeming returned from the Bush telegraph to inform the group that it was time for their first Bushtucker trial named Mine Shaft Misery.

The group were asked to nominate a team member to complete the trial and surprisingly two of the celebrities were particularly keen. Both Jan Leeming and Phina Oruche were chomping at the bit to throw themselves into this first jungle challenge and eventually the celebs agreed that Jan should be given the chance.

Jan chose Toby Anstis as her assistant and his first duty was to lower Jan down into a mine shaft where she could look for caverns hidden inside the dark hole. Inside these caverns would be hidden stars as well as an assortment of bugs and creatures. They further explained, perhaps unnecessarily, that once Jan got lower and lower, it would get darker and darker, until she would no longer be able to see her hands in front of her face.

With wavering confidence Jan punched the first cavern full of scorpions and got the first star and then, slightly lower down, got the second which was in a cavern full of green ants.

“Oh damn I’m covered in ants and they are biting me,â€? she moaned.

As she felt inside the next hole finding rats in her way she called delicately for Toby to lower her further, abandoning that star and then passing on the next where she felt a snake inside.

Discovering cane toads in the next cavern down Jane began to panic but like any well trained newsreader should, her panic remained contained.

Meanwhile above ground, Toby joked to Ant and Dec: “Beautiful day guys, isn’t it?�

Jan began to pull out the toads one by one throwing them onto the floor of the mine shaft below her. Having pulled 8 toads out, she finally got to the star and bagged it.

However, that was the end of the road for plucky Jan by this point there were now eight cane toads sitting below her and she realised that if she continued the trial she was going to have to get nearer and nearer to them.

“Toby, bring me up,� she called, her ladylike voice belying a real terror that she was now feeling.

“Please get me out of here,� she begged.

Worse was to come for poor Jan when lifted out of the shaft, she realised that not only had she only gained three stars out of ten, but she had dropped one on the way out, leaving the celebrities with just two meals for dinner.

“Oh Toby it was such a shame I tried so hard and then to drop a star,� she lamented.

Jan became more distraught when she got back to camp and embellished the tale of her trial in front of the other celebrities: “Guys, it was horrendous,� and like a proper gentleman Toby backed up his teenage crush: “It was a hell of a horrible one.�

Everyone told Jan it didn’t matter but she broke down in tears in front of Faith and Lauren looking stricken at her apparent failure.

“I think its delayed shock actually,� she explained, and the others recalled that Jan had never before seen the show.

Jan continued to moan about the horror of the trial, the miniscule stars and the mine shaft in general as Lauren fetched her water and she slowly sipped it to recover from her ordeal.

Maybe she should have let Phina go in the first place then……..
