I’m a Celebrity....my guilty pleasure!

Can I ask, where do they get all the bugs from and the number of snakes? Is there a company here that sells them, maybe for zoos and animal parks?

Sophiasnana ((hugs))

I've never watched it - doesn't appeal to me.

I dislike being near nasty bugs or having even one crawling over me and am indifferent to snakes. I couldn't care less who wins either.

If I am missing something feel free to let me know, including why it's entertaining.

I've already said why I like this programme.

I love this programme, I watch it every year, it’s a bit of light hearted fun to watch especially as the nights are drawing in.

DH doesn’t enjoy it but knows I won’t miss a programme, he tends to sit in an armchair as opposed to the settee we usually share as I tend to get rather excited.

Ant and Dec are funny. Holly was ok as a stand in last year but it was more about what she was wearing than the entertaining repartee between the lads.

I watched last night and shall probably continue. Intrigued as to how much surgery the Coronation Street woman has had done. She and Carol Vorderman would be a great double act!

Ngaiol, I agree. Beverley Callard looks dreadful. She looks as if her whole face is frozen. What possesses women to want to look like that! Just watched the second one, and must admit, I’m not enjoying it as much as usual. On a dark november night I usually enjoy watching them sitting in their bikinis in the sunny jungle, but its just all a bit dark, dismal and depressing this year

"Happy place, happy place!"

I don't think the "happy face" lad was faking it. He looked absolutely terrified.
Alfie was kind to him.

I watch it every year and always enjoy it. Interesting to see how it’ll work in the cold castle setting rather than the jungle.

One minor annoyance, I wish they’d all stop saying “you’ve got this”

Alfie? Shane! Grrr.

I love it -
I agree. Beverley Callard and Carol V probably had the same plastic surgeon. Their cheeks look like red ?- I'm probably jealous because I can't afford to have a cheek-lift.......

Well Jordan was very brave indeed. That's real bravery - to be so absolutely petrified but doing it anyway.
Shame about the meal their hard earned stars gained for them.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone so absolutely terrified well done Shane for getting him through.

Why would anyone so absolutely terrified of things go on a show like this? He must have known what he was up against, the show’s been going for years ?

I wouldn't even have been able to eat their prize meal, let alone all the other things.

I watched it for the first time this evening. Yes, it’s a bit trashy, but during these times it was pure escapism. A bit of innocent fun. My normal listening and viewing seems a bit dreary these days, especially Radio 4.

Love this programme. I really felt for Jordan. I agree Shane was very kind.

Never watch it but I know lots of people do . There will be programs I enjoy that others don't ,each to their own.

Watching for the first time in many years, partly because of the current situation but also because it is in a fresh setting and therefore has an injection of newness about it. I’ve recorded it to watch while tidying drawers and whizz through the insects etc. I, like Jane10 am intrigued by the relationships that develop.

Your last sentence Feelingmyage55 ......... Bev and Jordan! Lovely moment.

I am quite liking bev.
But why are they bringing in two people no one has heard of. Usually the last two are well known or controversial.

I've heard of the singer Russell Watson. I think he had a brain tumour and nearly died? Never heard of the other person. She might not last long because Bev has established herself as the matriarch.

Ramblingrose, your comment reminded me of Margot in The Good Life ('Why is it funny?'):

'If I am missing something feel free to let me know, including why it's entertaining.

I find it a laugh, along with Gogglebox. Laughter is very good for you.
