Your support makes all the difference.I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! hosts Ant and Dec have made a bold claim about this year’s contestants.
Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly haven’t held back when poking fun – and even growing frustrated – at the crop of stars in the jungle, with Dean McCullough and Barry McGuigan falling victim to the presenting duo’s many jokes.
They claimed in the latest episode, which ared on Tuesday (26 November), that the team of 2024 after the “screamiest bunch we’ve ever”.
In tonight’s episode of I’m a Celebrity, Maura Higgins and Jane Moore took on the latest trial, “The Fright at the End of the Tunnel”, winning six stars for camp.
Meanwhile, Reverend Richard Coles opened up about grieving his late partner while Oti Mabuse shared what she found to be “the hardest thing” about prematurely giving birth to her daughter.
Follow along with all the live updates from tonight’s episode below
Six stars!
They won six out of 12 stars, which sounds bad but, I gotta say, that was a good attempt. Ant and Dec agree, telling them: “That was a very, very tough Trial, so I think you did remarkably, the pair of you. You should both be very proud.”
Maura is properly facing her fears, fair play to her. She seems genuinely terrified of these spiders!
Eeeeek, Maura is joined in the tunnels by toads, lizards and spiders – the birthday treats continue! And poor Jane – she can’t see anything because her goggles keep steaming up!
Anyway, this Trial is called “Fright At The End of The Tunnel”. There are two tunnels: one above ground, and one below ground. The celebrity above ground needs to find the secret code words hidden in their tunnel, reading them out to the celebrity below ground who will be underwater and will need to use the code words to unlock the stars.
Maura’s going above, and Jane is going below.
Ant just made a bold claim about this year’s contestants. “You’re the screamiest bucnh of celebrities we’ve ever had on this show,” he says.
But now it’s time for today’s Bushtucker Trial!
It’s the turn of Maura and Jane. Huge cheers for Dean getting a day off (from us all).
Tomorrow’s trial will be called Shock Around the Clock. You can vote for which star you want to take part for the next 25 minutes.
Where’s Barry?
I’m a Celebrity very briefly turned into a mystery with a confused Barry getting totally lost in the jungle while helping Tulisa carry pots and pans to the creek.
I’ll be more honest: I think this is as nailbiting as the episode’s gonna get.
It’s good to see Melvin Odoom getting some screen time this evening! He’s been a bit absent these past few episodes.
Viewers are loving the campmates singing McFly’s “Shine a Light” to each other.
