The I’m a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! cast are settled into jungle life after their third day at camp.

On Tuesday night’s episode (19 November), Tulisa Contostavlos opened up about identifying as “demisexual”.

Radio DJ Dean McCullough faced the Bushtucker trial. It left him in tears and he only secured two stars for his fellow stars.

McCullough’s challenge, which saw him trapped in a box with mealworms and crickets, came after an emotional start to the 2024 series.

During one moving campsite chat in Monday night’s episode, boxer Barry McGuigan broke down in tears as he opened up about the loss of his daughter, Danika, while Coleen Rooney reflected on the death of her sister, who died when she was 14.

Elsewhere, Rooney dished out juicy details surrounding her infamous “Wagatha Christie” trial, while the rest of the campmates started bonding.

Among this year’s contestants are N-Dubz singer Contostavlos, Coronation Street actor Alan Halsall and Strictly Come Dancing pro Oti Mabuse. Others include McFly singer Danny Jones, 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.

Another raucous sound in camp… Danny screaming during a cold jungle shower

Mcfly’s Danny Jones also disrupted the tranquillity of camp with a fierce shriek as he attempted to take a cold temperature shower.

His scream is so loud that the others are wondering if they’ll be able to hack it.

Melvin admitted: “It’s making me quite nervous about mine later on.”

The first morning in camp

It’s the first morning in camp. It’s to be expected that campmates would have heard the sounds of the jungle wildlife during the night, but what was louder turned out to be Melvin Odoom’s snoring, which woke up Oti Mabuse. Whoops!
