Get me out of here

I’ve never watched it, nor will I. I’ve never heard of most of the ‘celebrities’. I do know who Richard Madeley is, though, so I read what has happened to him. I am appalled by what he had to put up with - not clever, not funny, not remotely entertaining. Why do people watch? I am even more puzzled about why anyone is willing to go on the programme.

Calendargirl sorry but that was funny

Is it only me who feels a bit cynical about the Richard Madely incident.

Grandma70s You may not be so puzzled when you hear that it is rumoured that Richard Madeley is getting £200,000.

Not only you sodapop

I wouldn’t do it, even for that!

Perhaps he didn’t realise how bad it was going to be,

I did wonder sodapop I ve only seen snatches as it long lost any interest for me and I m tired to the back teeth with Ant and Dec plus there are only four people in it whose names I recognise
He seemed to have been released straight away strange how people wait for hours and hours for an ambulance but one arrived immediately for him

Just seen on news that Richard Madeley can't return as he's left covid bubble. I would have thought having a PCR test would have been sufficient security to go back in. It's quite strange.

I don’t watch it, can’t stand antndec, but just seen online that Richard Madeley gets £200,000 for his four day stint. I guess it’s nice work if you can get it?

I love I'm a Celebrity, and agree that David Ginola is lovely, very easy on the eye.

Did he actually get the whole amount for that short time Forsythia I rest my case
Cynical - moi ?

I don’t watch it, it’s just ridiculous especially those degrading eating challenges, they really will eat dirt for the money.

Well just don't watch it!

I don’t watch it but I’m pretty sure RM arranged his ambulance trip to ensure he’d bust the covid bubble so could go home.

Also - as others have said, how come there was an ambulance so readily available

I don't watch it but if it's your thing why not....It really annoys me when it's on for one reason, ITV usually put the 10pm News back for it and I love to watch that but I'm not staying up extra late for it. So the Beeb gets an extra audience member instead.

They're showing some of the best bits from past programmes.

The ambulance service in Wales is dire. Not their fault, the paramedics etc are wonderful but so overstretched.
I bet RM didn't have to stay outside the hospital for 12 hours in the ambulance like a friend of ours did last week.

Private ambulance, arranged by BBC?

The series is over and there's not been a post on this thread since November.
Does this tell the producers that people aren't interested any more?

Just out of curiosity who won the series this year ?

I remember when Japanese TV made similar reality programmes many years ago and we thought "who would out themselves through that?"

Now we're doing it here!
