Confession ….. I have never watched more than a few minutes of this prog but this time around I plan to because Fred Sirieix, Grace Dent and Nigel Farage are in it which should be interesting.

I thought NF was fantastic downing all those revolting drinks. He just got on with it! Poor old Tony was retching, gagging and using the sick bucket but he got there in the end. 👏👏

Those drinks were beyond disgusting and I would not have managed any of them because the smell would have me gagging! Tony vomited all the way through, but Nigel managed to hold it all down without vomiting once and was so controlled. How did he hold all that muck in his stomach? Maybe because he drinks beer and his stomach was used to holding a few pints? My stomach would not have held that. 🤮

Some news from the jungle grapevine:

Nigel didn't get paid £1.5 billion after all, only £500k. So basically, any stories about what they get paid are absolute nonsense and should be ignored.

Tony Bellow is a very sore loser. He got VERY angry off screen when he lost the ball challenge and didn't win the big breakfast.

I really can’t take to him. I’d want to be on Frankie’s team! 😂

I really liked Josie but have gone right off her after she said NF was smelly. That was an unkind remark especially as he seems to be the only one washing and bathing.

I think ITV and A&D are just trying to humiliate NF with all this attention to his body and washing habits etc. Would they say the same about Nella? The shock at seeing her bum or having a bath, she is smelly etc. Can you imagine the furore if she were treated in this way? Whether you like NF or not, picking on one campmate and plastering all these things over the internet is unacceptable.

Sorry, I meant £1.5 million, not billion. That really would be ridiculous!

Nigel Farage was a public schoolboy many years ago, and as such will have learned to cope with a lot of deprivations, that is assuming he was a boarder.
Thankfully boarding schools are very different now, my husband taught at one for 36 years (they took day pupils too.)

I think Nella got off lightly in that trial. Sam did all the work.

But she’s still having a sulk! 🤔

Shinamae Sun 26-Nov-23 22:02:40

Grace‘s face when she knew she was picked for the trial……….. priceless…..😜

rafichagran Sun 26-Nov-23 22:55:11

Grace looks unwell to me and I do not think she is coping.

Callistemon21 Sun 26-Nov-23 22:57:44

Whereas Jamie Lynn has settled surprisingly well.

Chestnut Sun 26-Nov-23 23:56:11

I agree with all the above. Nella was making such a fuss about that water trial and yet she did nothing except wave her hands around and read a few cards. Sam really did all the work. I think if it had been the other way around she would never have coped with all those critters.

Grace looks totally drained and utterly miserable. She doesn't even seem to engage with what is happening around her. She really needs to go home.

Anniel Mon 27-Nov-23 01:56:07

I agree about Grace. She looks very unwell to me. Sam seems such an enthusiast and I have no idea why he is a Celebrity! I am enjoying this series because they are such a jolly group ( except for poor Grace. I like Franky Dettori. Such a pleasant chap.

Joseann Mon 27-Nov-23 08:53:58

Grace Dent has quit.
Was she due to do a trial?

merlotgran Mon 27-Nov-23 08:57:11

Reading between the lines I think Grace has an eating disorder. Goodness knows why she agreed to take part as she has looked miserable from the beginning.

Smileless2012 Mon 27-Nov-23 09:02:39

I'm relieved she's left. She really didn't look well last night. Hope she's OK.

Chestnut Mon 27-Nov-23 09:25:55

I wonder if she will leave like the others or just disappear off camera. I suppose it depends how unwell she feels as to whether she can do all the publicity stuff, but we'll see tonight.

Clawdy Mon 27-Nov-23 09:57:17

Interesting if Grace has an eating disorder as she spends most of her days eating meals in restaurants all over the country!

merlotgran Mon 27-Nov-23 10:14:26

Grace is quoted as saying she 'has to monitor every day how much food I have to eat for work, how many restaurants I have to go to, just trying to keep a balanced diet.'

Maybe she thought she could deal with the eating trials but she hasn’t looked right from the very beginning.

She was extremely thin for someone whose livelihood depends on eating; I agree she looked ill. It wouldn't have been good for her to stay and perhaps be on a restricted diet.

Callistemon21 Mon 27-Nov-23 10:19:25

Will they helicopter someone else in to replace her?

Maybe they’ll just delay the first eviction?

Callistemon21 Mon 27-Nov-23 10:22:25

Oh, perhaps. Saved by Grace!

maddyone Mon 27-Nov-23 10:22:58

She didn’t look well last night. I think it’s the right decision.

She hasn't done any eating trials. I just can't imagine how she would have coped with the two eating trials that Nigel went through. They were both horrendous and she would never have made it.
