I'm a celebrity

Is this the program the politician is on?
No one has mentioned him.

Yes it is - but he's not entering the jungle with the rest of them, he will arrive after they are all installed. (Not sure when).

I agree with you sodapop
It’s the new opiate of the people I suppose

Did I see Richard Madely on the line up?
I like him, even though a lot of people don't, apparently.

I thought Jill Scott looked formidable and such a good team player too offering encouragement and fun. The black man who bottled out would gave been better showing more humility and not joking about his failed attempt. The reality tv girl is funny, she knows how to play the cameras, I like Chris Moyles, not sure how I feel about the others yet, I don't know all the names. A bit uncomfortable about Boy George's past maybe. Ant and Dec superb!

Matt H comes along a bit later. Ant & Dec mentioned him last night.

how long has george had those fake porcelain teeth, i don't remember seeing them before.
also, as he is reportedly a vegan and a buddhist, i wonder how he is going to cope with eating the animals they are given in their meals, never mind the ghastly eating trials. maybe he has some sort of special dispensation?

Olivia has gone home. Medical emergency apparently. I didn't know who she was either. Love Island girl.

Uri Geller was in, years ago. He's a vegetarian but he did eat maggots I think. Something to do with his fee going to charity and having to play the part.

Oh dear!

I will be watching it, especially to see how Boy George gets on and Hancock of course. The girls last night were fab, well done to them.

I am exactly the same Bluebelle, I have never bothered with the programme but planned on watching it as I rather like Boy George. DH was a bit harrumph about watching it, but we both did rather enjoy last night.

MissA, and anyone else who’s interested, episode one is repeated on ITV2 at 4.45

Thank you.
My mum and daughter loved these kinds of programmes.

They'd phone eachother to chat about them.

I did watch it when it was first launched, probably a bit like Big Brother it was quite a novel concept. I stopped watching it when I started to find the ritual humiliation of contestants too much, I hate the idea of anyone being forced to eat the unacceptable especially when they're wriggling insects, unnecessarily cruel and voyeuristic. The daily diet of rice and beans, if I remember rightly was incredibly meagre and without whatever was won in the food stake challenges set, which could be really, really difficult, such a punishing lack of sustenance, I imagine could crank up extreme irritability to quite a mind altering state depending on the contestant's constitution, I could predict, for example,Mike Tindall would be well able to cope, but someone more fragile emotionally and physically could be very adversely affected, I think that happened once, Ian something or other a DJ hit the news, if I remember rightly, had some sort of a breakdown.

If any of you know of, or follow the wonderful poetry of Brian Bilston;

I'm a celeriac, get me out of here

A knobbly root vegetable with a plan and bravado
was able to escape from the van of Ocado

Terri yes, it was Ian Lee.
I didn’t watch it, but I’m a fan of his.
He suffers from depression and he was going through a divorce, so it probably wasn’t a good idea

Ian does speech based radio. He used to be on LBC, and at the time was on TalkRadio, which was a bit of a step down too

Keep watching Bluebelle...its daft but entertaining 😄

I think I will Bridie it’s just better than all the depressing stuff on almost constantly I did watch when it first started and enjoyed it then got totally fed up and haven’t watched for years
Not keen on Ant andDec but I do like BoyGeorge he’s a one off and so that’s why I looked I like Sue Cleaver too
I was also very impressed with Charlene White I could not do that for all the tea in China I liked the fact that Babatunde admitted his weakness and that he couldn’t do the task it was horrible I m not good with heights I was totally scared walking on the glass floor in Auckland’s sky tower where there’s no danger but my heart wasn’t having any of that
I wonder what’s wrong with the love island girl ?

Oh I love it and watch every year. Such a shame about Olivia.

I love it - ‘it’s good fun

I didn’t watch it ever until last year. My granddaughter loves it, and gradually I was lured into it.
I have to say I enjoyed, perhaps that’s not the right word, but I was gripped by it.
I said to my granddaughter, if I’m ever in a tight spot, I want the magnificent Jill Stott by my side.

I m thinking perhaps Olivias pregnant

I watch it every year and love it, I'm not keen on Boy George, but look forward to him doing some trials.

Now we gradually work out who we think plays to the camera, who has what, if any, agenda?

Anyone else notice Olivia give her belly a little rub when they stood in the sand ??
