Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The first bushtucker trial of I'm A Celebrity 2013 will air tonight, with Joey Essex and Matthew Wright dining on such divine delicacies as turkey testicles and ostrich penis.

From Katie Price's kangaroo anus in 2009 to Charlie Brooks' eyeball paella in last year's 'Final Feast', I'm A Celebrity has never shied away from offering foul fare to its unsuspecting contestants.

In tonight's show, Wright and Essex will crunch into pig's brain - "like chicken but soggier"- ostrich penis, scorpion, camel's toe and turkey testicles, each served on a bed of noodles and chips in polystyrene take-out boxes.

Over 12 million people tuned in to watch this year's challengers enter the jungle last night to bring the best opening show ratings in the programme's history. Similarly high numbers are expected tonight to watch the celebrities meet their stomach-turning fate.

But will their mouthwatering 'meal' rival past food-themed trials?
