I'm a celebrity

I’m enjoying it after all the doom and gloom of last few years. Don’t think Olivia should be paid and was against Hancock going in, however he has added a new dimension. I do have strong views on his behaviour but did feel a tad sorry at the frosty reception, which was totally warranted but I always feel sorry for the underdog, however on reflection he seems totally unrepentant about what he’s done, he certainly believes in himself.

Well dec is a drink driver and so is Mike tindall, and boy George assaulted a vulnerable man. I can cope with watching all of them and MH because there are ways to make changes in society and not watching Celebrity isnt one of them .

Oh sorry I think I have just slandered Dec . It was Ant who was the drink driver wasnt it.

I’m not fussed about Matt Hancock one way or the other but some of the comments on here are ludicrous. Anyone would think he’s Hitler. Some of you need to get over yourselves.

I don't approve of Matt H's past behaviour, but this show is a different scenario. I agree with Allsorts that some of the other contestants were unnecessary frosty and holier than Thou, apart from Scarlette when she said everyone is human and that the media distorts personalities anyway.

I expect the audience at the Roman Colosseum enjoyed some fun entertainment.

Did the participants get paid loads of money and have their supporters put up in luxury hotels? 🤔

Good heavens, the trial Matt Hancock is doing right now. I can’t watch it, are they trying to drown him?

The contestants who object to MH being there should opt for rice and beans instead of a share of the full quota of food he earned for them.

I dont watch strictly so the whole 'scandal' with Sean Walsh is news to me. Was he really so hated? I thought everyone had affairs on strictly.

Well he did that trial very, very well credit to him..

I thought I'd like Boy George and I don't. I thought I'd dislike MH but I don't.

I agree, I am not fussed either. I have always liked this show, and I thought he was good in the trial.
When Babatunde was saying would take the p... out of him he took it in good humour.

I think Hancock has blended in well with everyone.
Not sure if that says more about the campmates than him, though.

Mike is so desperate to do a trial, but I suspect Matt will keep getting voted in.

I have NEVER seen it before - but I’m enjoying it!
And I agree, Matt seems to be getting on well with the others who all seem very friendly and good natured.
I suspect Gavin Williamson might have been a different kettle of fish!

I agree merlotgran in fact I thought Chris looked a bit miffed that Matt had done so well. It was one of the worse trials I've seen so well done Matt.

Ideally MH shouldn’t be in the show, but he is, and I’m not going descend into making nasty remarks about him. He’s there, and I’m watching it.

Well why would you like seeing a man who cheats on his family and is a abominable politician and is earning a big cheque on top of his ministerial money which he’s not earning while he’s in Australia
He’s a cheat in all senses of the word and slimy

👏 it’s nothing to do with highbrow lowbrow TV, I’ve already said I watch plenty rubbish on TV. it’s this man ,who did NOT do his best in the pandemic

Hear hear bluebelle and Varian.

Jill is so cool. The way she thinks on her feet (literally) and just comes up with a random Lioness chant. She is one of my favourites.

Quite agree, Maw!

I didn't watch this for years but a few seasons ago my children started to watch and I ended up hooked.

This year seems to be off to a good start.

Apart from the Australian detail this is exactly what Johnson did. I don't understand why he didn't have the whip removed while he had yet another holiday and highly paid lecture tour. The difference is that some people, even on GN, thought his reward for this unparliamentary behaviour should be forgiveness and another go at being PM.

Well not me Houseplantqueen BJshould have gone long long before he did
I don’t forgive any of them, they are all DISHONEST cheaters in all areas of their lives

There are dishonest cheaters in every walk of life. I just enjoy celebrity in the jungle for what it is, an entertainment show. Just chill, - or avoid it completely.
