I'm a celebrity

Matt strikes me as someone who is used to others doing things like emptying bowls for him.

Hi Galaxy, Olivia sold her story to the Mail on Sunday last week.
She was dangerously anaemic and had to have an infusion (I think, I only scanned the first couple of paragraphs). But it was definitely anaemia based

I don't think we really know why Olivia left Galaxy other than anaemia?

Thanks everyone

Hopefully it will be Sue leaving tonight. She seems to have had a very easy time of it.

Apparently she gets taken back to camp in a crew buggy and Boy George had a strop because the crew refused him a ride.

I hope she's ok and recovered.

However, I wasn't keen on her and hoped she wouldn't be a role model for young girls with her Botox and pumped up lips.

I've been wondering........the jungle waterfall shower is not exactly ideal. How do they wash their cracks and crevices? Do they have a private shower somewhere else where they can strip down?

It all seems so constructed and artificial.

It's a set and it must be in the grounds of a resort as the rainforest itself is listed as a World Heritage site.

It’s in Springbrook National Park, Murwillumbah, New South Wales.

The contestants and their families won't be living in luxury after the show in that wonderful Versace Hotel at £1,000k per night. Apparently they are being put up in the Mariott at a cost of £250 per night. I used to like seeing the bedrooms in the Versace.
Cut backs.

Yes.
But the set is large, permanent and apparently
the camp and film studios in Dungay are permanent sets which were built on a disused banana plantation.

SPOILER ALERT!

There has been criticism that the producers present the celebrities as living in a "dangerous" jungle, despite the fact that they are actually kept in a controlled environment, with some of the scenery being artificial, e.g. a pond and a small waterfall

I am relieved about that; I doubted that the set would encroach on the rainforest anyway.

Just had a quick look at the Versace Hotel website, rooms are going for little as $263 per night including taxes.

The Marriott is more expensive.

I wonder if it’s to do with the Versace being sold to a Chinese Co.

We have been to that part of the rainforest several times and it is stunning. The humidity was uncomfortable at times but the scenery more than compensates.

Sounds like a good deal. I'm tempted!

I read earlier that each contestant has one family member flown out business class at the expense of ITV to await their loved ones in the 5 star Marriott hotel. They are already in the hotel enjoying the hospitality.

Usually it's more than one family member

I haven't been to that one but have visited others.

I'd like to go to Tamborine Mountain.

Oh no, not Scarlette !

Well, that was unexpected!
