I can’t see another thread so apologies if there is
After years of not bothering with “I m a celebrity get me out of here” I decided to have a look as I like Boy George
And I have to say I m in now so will need to keep watching this ridiculously daft programme even if it’s just to combat the depressing days
Anyway what do you all think ?

Is Owen the rather muscular young man? smile

He is, MissAdventure

He's rather sweet. I believe he's from Hollyoaks but I could be wrong.

MissAdventure Tue 08-Nov-22 15:31:24

Hmm.. bit bland, I thought, though he must be due another shower soon. smile
Who is the person that showered last night as well, with the dad bod?

He seems nice.

Joseanne Tue 08-Nov-22 15:43:01

Baba, I think they call him. He made me laugh when he said Owen would sing along to Paw Patrol. 🐶 🐾

MissAdventure Tue 08-Nov-22 15:48:23

Do you know, I'm quite excited about tonight!
Is there a "I need to get a life" emoji?

Yes, Babatunde. He bottled out of the walking the plank at the start of the show, leaving poor Charlaine, ( name might b wrong) dot stand on there, alone, wind blowing her hair, 100 foot from the ground. Luckily super girl footballer, Jill, managed to do the task .so they got 2 stars.

Babatunde has been voted to do tonight's task which I think involves heights. and is partially due to his lack of team playing on the first day. The contestants haven't reacted badly to his wobble but the voters can be harsh!

Zoejory Tue 08-Nov-22 15:54:54

Sory, MIssAdventure I used the wrong quote but I'm sure you know what I mean!

MissAdventure Tue 08-Nov-22 15:58:07

Oh good.

I'm gradually getting up to speed with the story so far.

Hope he gets a good bad challenge then.

I think the Hollyoaks lad didn’t know who Zara was. When Mike was saying he met Zara in Australia, he asked “is she Australian?” - I thought that was funny 😂

MissAdventure Tue 08-Nov-22 16:29:14

Mike's nice, isn't he?
I was quite surprised how down to earth he is.

BlueBelle Tue 08-Nov-22 16:41:11

Ohh jury’s out on Mike for me
I think Baba is sweet lovely and funny and down to earth and I think it was wise of him if he knew he couldn’t do something to be honest about it …..although I do wonder if he was told to do that so that he’d get voted for the heights challenges and be a hero if he manages them
Me ….cynical of course not
Owen s got a nice bod but is like a grandchild

Zoejory Tue 08-Nov-22 16:42:28

Yes, Mike's great. Very handy as well. He can sort out most things. Thee way he got a fire started when the others were flailing around. Good chap.

Hollyoaks boy also came out with something on the first show. Charlene was arriving in a boat and someone said oh look, Charlene from A Place in the Sun and Hollyoak asked whereabouts. Which had Mike and Corry lady in hysterics.

rafichagran Tue 08-Nov-22 16:43:07

I like Boy George, and I think he will be involved in alot of arguments, especially if it involves food.
I also like Mike Tindall.

MissAdventure Tue 08-Nov-22 16:44:56

I'm interested to see boy George do some more challenges, because he was such a trooper last night.

Allsorts Tue 08-Nov-22 16:45:10

Baba git on my wick, making jokes about his lack of participation to those tgst dud tge task. I wouldn’t do it but he knew what he was signing up to, Same with Olivia, she shouldn’t get paid anything. If she was unwell she shouldn’t have had the freebies first. They know what they are doing.,Boy George will eventually have a hissy fit. I am looking forward to tonight and Baba on high. Just won’t watch the animals eaten so will make a cuppa teen. .

Zoejory Tue 08-Nov-22 16:48:46

Yes I was annoyed by Baba as well.

MissAdventure Tue 08-Nov-22 16:49:57

Is he too cheery?
I could see that getting on my wick if I was there.

BlueBelle Tue 08-Nov-22 16:52:10

So what about Mike Tindal Boy George and Sue whatsits getting out of doing a task tonight then Allsorts You can’t come down on Baba ducking out of his task and Olivia going when those three got out of tonights task For what reason??

I do agree Olivia shouldn’t be paid though ( I still think she’s found out she’s pregnant)

grannyrebel7 Tue 08-Nov-22 16:59:21

Chris Moyles looks like a completely different person to when he did the K2 challenge! Love Boy George but I think he was getting a bit bitchy last night over the cooking which often causes problems on this show. Jill Scott a good team player and Mike Tindall is very funny. Loved his Boom Boom Shake the Room rendition. smile

Chestnut Tue 08-Nov-22 17:01:47

I thought she was pregnant as soon as I heard she had left suddenly due to a medical emergency.

Zoejory Tue 08-Nov-22 17:30:41

It was just how he reacted after the 2 girls had done a hair raising task that he'd refused to do.

I'd have been mortified if I'd failed at the first trial.

We all have fears and I'd not have wanted to do that either but I think if you're going on the show you just have to do your very best for the sake of the team. Imagine if they all just copped out they'd be on beans and rice for 3 weeks and the show would be pointless.

BlueBelle Tue 08-Nov-22 17:30:49

Me too chestnut and I saw her touch her belly a couple of times just a little rub and she has said all will be revealed soon well she wouldn’t be revealing an illness I don’t expect
I too like Boy George his not afraid to say it like it is I think his meditation got him through that last task which makes it weird why he’s not in the bidding for this task along with Mike and Sue

Zoejory Tue 08-Nov-22 17:31:32

I wondered if Olivia was pregnant as well.We shall find out in due course.

FannyCornforth Tue 08-Nov-22 18:26:31

Yeah, of course she’s pregnant.

I’m out already. Watching episode 2 on catch up, and we are already squealing and demonising snakes.
It’s so childish.
Boy George hasn’t lived up to my expectations either ie ‘never meet your idols’ (see also: Madonna and Morrissey 😱)
Roll on Celebrity Big Brother!
PS Mike or Sue for the win!! 🤞

⚠️ BREAKING NEWS ⚠️

Reports are coming in that Boy George has been attacked by a reptile on the set of I'm a Celebrity.

They should have got a calmer Chameleon, but apparently, they come and go.
