Jane and GK Barry surrender
They gave it their all, but these Loose Women stars have had enough – out the river and over to camp!
Barry has found the key!
Barry and Danny are off in hot pursuit of that coveted prize
Going under!
Early leaders Coleen and Dean may be dead in the water after capsizing their canoe!
It’s fair to say GK Barry is not a fan of cockroaches, but Coleen and Barry seem to be keeping their cool!
Yuck
Barry faces the first creepy crawlies of the season – cockroaches!
Fans are loving Dean after that Wagatha Christie gag
Dean actually called Coleen “Wagatha Christie” 😂 #ImACeleb #imacelebrity
