Your support makes all the difference.The I’m a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! cast have been busy welcoming their two new campmates to jungle life.
Love Island favourite Maura Higgins and broadcaster Reverend Richard Coles made a dramatic entrance on Thursday’s episode (21 November).
That said, the pair are not quite roughing it like the rest. Instead, they’re being treated to mugs of tea, bubble baths, and fluffy robes – unbenownst to their fellow stars, one of whom Higgins has a surprising and potentially awkward connection with.
Also during the episode, Coleen Rooney opened up about her relationship with Wayne Rooney and appeared to address his “difficult” cheating scandals in the past.
Among this year’s contestants are Coronation Street actor Alan Halsall and Strictly Come Dancing pro Oti Mabuse. Others include McFly singer Danny Jones, Barry McGuigan and Rooney, who is the show’s highest-paid star in its history.
New episodes of I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! air on ITV1 and ITVX every night at 9pm.

Coleen Rooney appears to address husband Wayne’s ‘difficult’ cheating scandals
Speaking to her fellow campmate, Strictly’s Oti Mabuse about her husband’s difficult past, Rooney explained: “Since the first mistake he’s made, that’s been in the public, people have not forgiven.
“When things have happened the public have wanted it to just go oh, split, you know, that’s it, split them up. But the fact is, there’s always been love still there.”
She added: “It has been difficult, but we’re happy now, after all those years… we’re a team.”
Coleen Rooney addresses husband Wayne’s ‘difficult’ cheating scandals
Footballer, manager... poet? Coleen says the England legend shows his affection by writing her poems. Aw!
Is that an Oppenheimer dig from Ant and Dec I hear? Good thing Christopher Nolan probably doesn’t watch I’m a Celeb.
The camp is pretty chuffed with Dean’s four stars, which doesn’t bode well for what his campmates think about his jungle skills...
Uh-oh...
Dean made it to containment box number five before calling it quits on the fish guts. To be fair, if you didn’t know that it was fish guts, you’d probably imagine the worst...
Open your eyes!
Am I the only one yelling at the TV for Dean to open his eyes? These tongue challenges are really posing a problem for him.
What would you rather share a confined space with? Crickets, cockroaches, and mealworms OR two lizards OR snakes...
