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.

A “seven-star camp” might be pushing it, but this certainly is the nicest that the jungle has ever looked.

Ooh la la – bed and a bubble bath! It’s not quite the Love Island villa, but beggars can’t be choosers...
First to enter, is Reverend Richard Coles, who has only one thing to compare his new jungle home to, saying: “I once fell asleep by some bins outside Amnesia night club in Ibiza, I don’t remember much about it, but it’s that level”.
The moment we’ve all been waiting for...
Here comes Maura and Reverend Richard! But where are they? What’s Jungle Junkyard?
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.”
