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
Celebs sing McFly around the campfire
McFly’s Danny performing their hit song “Shine a Light” – and then being completely upstaged by Barry McGuigan who, it turns out, has a set of pipes on him! In the words of Reverend Richard Coles: “Revelation of the evening, Barry McGuigan can sing like a canary, it was lovely.”
Maura’s woes continue
Who in the universe did Maura annoy? While other people’s items had surprise chocolates and sweets hidden amongst them. Maura was given… an apple. “What did I do to deserve this?” she rightly asks.
A surprise for Oti
Imagine enduring a bus ride accompanied by a load of cockroaches and then you get back to camp and find a frog standing on your bag.
An experience like that is exactly what Oti signed up for, in fairness.
Danny, perhaps desperate to create a melody for “Roaches In My Pants”, claimed a guitar case as his chosen item of choice. We’re hoping the guitar is inside…
We have a new song written by McFly’s very own Danny Jones. It’s called “Roaches In My Pants” and you can guess what it’s inspired by. We’re sure if anyone could make it a number one hit, it’s Danny.
First up on the Fright Bus, it’s GK, Jane and Oti. They have to work together to move three red tokens along a bar in front of them – and they succeed!
Still, GK isn’t impressed, calling it the “worst busy journey I’ve ever been on in my entire life”. And we’re assuming she’s been on a few night busses in her time.
Birthday girl Maura is not happy
“This is the worst birthday I’ve ever had!” she says as her terrified campmates serenade her with a rendition of “Happy Birthday”.
The wheels on the Fright bus go round and round
So, we’re keeping on with the Fright Bus. The longer the celebs stay on, the more luggage items they win for camp – but of course they’re joined by mealworms, spiders and cockroaches.
So the campmates have faced their “most terrifying day” yet, according to Ant and Dec. Here we go...
