I'm A Celebrity returned after its football enforced break, and we've got all the latest news from days five and six from the camp.
CRUELTY TOWERS – BUSH TUCKER TRIAL
Nominated by the public to face Cruelty Towers, Helen appeared in fighting spirit and even told her fellow camp mates that she felt “chilled” ahead of her challenge.”
She received a pep talk from Nadine and Brian put on her shoes and socks for her.
However, Brian confessed in the Bush Telegraph that he was unconvinced by Nadine’s support for Helen, he said, “Nadine’s pep talk to Helen, it was a bit condescending. Don’t give her that pressure. Someone is trying to get in there because they think ‘oh this is when the nation will watch because they all want to know who gives a pep talk to Helen. I would hate that.”
Meanwhile Charlie commented on Brian’s helping hand with Helen’s socks and shoes, she said “Can you actually believe that Brian actually does her show laces up for her. It all just kind of miraculously happened. Life just revolves around her (Helen).”
Charlie continued, “I think if she gets no stars her shoe laces are not being done up and that girl needs a short sharp shock.”
As Helen headed to the trial she said she planned to give 110%. Her optimism continued as she arrived at the Trial and spoke to hosts Ant and Dec. Given a torch, she was told that to get the first star she will need to remove the light, which would plunged the room into darkness.
Hidden inside Cruelty Towers is ten stars, each star is worth a meal for camp and she would have ten minutes to find as many stars as she could. There was a reception room and four bedrooms. Each room would contain jungle creatures, including snakes, a crocodile, ostrich and spiders, whilst the last room contained offal, flies and also featured a collapsing ceiling.
But as she was told it was time to get ready, she started to wobble and asked for a moment to compose herself.
She continued to waver as she received words of encouragement from Ant & Dec and others, she said “Can I just get my head together. I need to decide if I want to do this or not.”
“I need a moment to decide, I need to get my head together. I’m really scared.”
“I am getting worked up. It just makes me want to go home. If they’re going to keep do this to me every single day I want to go home. I just really want people to stop voting for me. I’m not happy at all. I don’t want to do it.”
But after some time, the actress decided that would give the trial a go. She opened the door to the first room and was greeted by an Ostrich which she named Olly.
She uttered soothing words to Olly the Ostrich as she attempted to remove the light to get the first star. As soon as it was dislodged, critters fell from the ceiling and the room was plunged into darkness. This prompted Helen to shout the immortal words “I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! Failing the trial meant that Helen would have no meals for camp.
As soon as she got out, however she regretted her decision. She said “I didn’t realise it was going to go dark, that freaked me out. Oh I wish I could have gone in there now, I feel really stupid. I wish I could have gone back in there now. Can I go back in?”
She continued, “I’m so annoyed with myself. It wasn’t even that bad. I wish I hadn’t made such a fuss beforehand.”
When asked by Ant and Dec if she slept with the light on at home, Helen confessed “(in) the en suite.”
Reluctant to face her camp mates having failed to win any stars, Helen admitted, “I do not want to go back to camp.”
She continued, “I’ve got to make an impression and they are going to start getting annoyed. I’m annoyed with myself, I didn’t do the best I could do and that’s what irritates me. I could have done better than I did.”
When she headed back, the camp mates all rallied around her and asked her about the challenge. Charlie continued to ask how many stars she won but Helen didn’t answer and kept apologising.
David later commented in the Bush Telegraph, “Am I disappointed, yes, am I upset, no. She said she tried her best and that’s all you can ask from our little Helen.”
But an unconvinced Charlie admitted that she was disappointed she only made it into one room.
DINNER - GOING GOING GONE?
The food hamper arrived and a delighted camp unpacked it. To their horror and surprise , it was empty apart from an instruction. Hugo read it out. “There are two new celebrities in the jungle. They are currently spending the night in the Bushman’s Refuge. You must decide if you are willing to give up your food.
“P*ss off” said Linda, with most of the other celebrities agreeing. Only Charlie said that she felt a bit guilty. “They might be two people we don’t even like” said Brian.
“Almost unanimously except for Charlie we’d rather eat” explained Hugo. And so they did – a supper of possum sausages.
TWO’S COMPANY
Meanwhile, things were getting hairy for 80s pop singer Limahl and chef Rosemary Shrager, the two new camp mates. They had instructions that if they stayed in the simple hut, they would win tea, coffee and biscuits for their new camp mates.
I’m not leaving because they’re starving” said Rosemary nobly. “I don’t want to arrive without any food” agreed Limahl.
Limahl said “I worry we’re going to be pushed to such a level we’re going to have to say those words.” “I’m never going to say it and you’re not going to do it” replied Rosemary.
As the hut started filling with giant huntsman spiders, rats, crickets and cockroaches, the new celebrities’ resolve was being tested to the extreme.
Rosemary suggested to Limahl that they stay awake all night and that he taught her to sing.”
But as more rats and crickets appeared the two started to doubt whether or not they would stay. “I can’t stand this. Not more. This is ridiculous” shouted Rosemary. “I’m beginning to weaken “confessed Limahl.
Will the two manage to last the night with their unwanted jungle companions?
COMPASS CO-ORDINATES
Charlie and Ashley undertook today's Dingo Dollar Challenge. Making their way to a clearing in the jungle, they found a tree with some instructions, a compass and a hand held radio on it.
Ashley read the instructions. ‘Contact your camp mates using the radio; each answer will tell you where to go; your compass will guide you from tree to tree; the one final answer will set the dollars free.’
The two camp mates had to do a remote treasure hunt by radioing through a question to the camp. If they answered correctly, they received co-ordinates to the next tree and clue.
They started off well by answering how many episodes Colin Baker had stared in Doctor Who. The answer was 32. Hugo radioed Charlie and Ashley with instructions of how to use to compass, but got it wrong by telling them to follow the black end of the compass as opposed to the correct red.
Helen didn’t know how many millions of pounds Manchester City paid for her boyfriend Scott Sinclair but the camp got it right; and Hugo answered how many thousand pound a term’s fee at Harrow was.
Eric couldn’t resist a dig. “What a waste of money. You’d want a refund”.
“I’m not very good at numbers” replied Hugo. “Nor compasses” answered Eric. “Or cooking” added Nadine to Hugo’s annoyance.
Nadine answered how many letters there were in the surname of Linda’s on screen sister in Birds Of A Feather and Eric answered how many pounds David Haye weighted in at when he defeated Nikolai Valuev to become world champion.
The final key opened a box and Charlie and Ashley retrieved the dingo dollars which they traded in for some chocolate biscuits.
The camp mates were overjoyed with their treat, even though they claimed that the biscuits were a little stale. Charlie said “Everyone was over the moon and I think because we’ve hot no food tonight it was just such a lovely little treat for us all.”
Colin added “It was probably a bit stale but even in that case we all slowly and carefully digested every morsel.”
The victorious Ashley and Charlie made their way to the Outback Shack to claim their prize. They chose chocolate digestive biscuits and camp had to answer the total age of all 10 celebrities. This allowed Eric to show off his amazing numerical skills from his days as a darts player and they correctly said 426 years, earning them the chocolate digestives.
WE'RE RECORD BREAKERS!
As there was no vote and no Bush Tucker Trial today, the camp mates were set a challenge to win food for camp.
David was delighted. “Food, challenge, me, ten people, seems a lot more promising that Helen going off into the wilderness to bring back food.”
Linda added “I think we’re all relieved for Helen and for us that she’s not doing the trial today.”
The celebrities were told that they all had to break a world record. Eric was first up when he had to throw 8 darts into a bulls-eye. But the darts player, failed.
Linda fared better when she had to couple of as many socks as she could in a minute, and she won. Charlie failed to beat the world record for eating an onion in the quickest amount of time; Ashley failed to beat the a record attempt at star jumps; Helen failed to put on the most amount of underpants in a minute – despite putting a white bikini on for the task in hand.
Nadine wrote the most amounts of autographs on a human torso in a minute; Hugo managed to put six eggs in egg cups, Brian did the most kisses on a hand in a minute; David succeeded in letting off the most amount of party poppers and Colin told the most jokes in a minute meaning that the camp had six meals between them for dinner.
BRIAN’S UNLUCKY PANTS
Brian had managed to last for a whole week in the jungle without having either a bath or a shower. With the prospect of two new camp mates joining them, he finally thought it was about time that he spruced up.
He jumped into the freezing jungle pond and washed not only himself but his clothes. “I washed my clothes I have to confess for the first time ever” he admitted.
On the way out though, he missed his footing and fell back into the icy water, this time losing his black Debenhams underpants. Eric who was on the bank said “Ashley will dive in and they’ll be on her head.”
But once again David Haye saved the day when he jumped in and retrieved a relieved Brian’s undies.
ERIC AND THE DUNNY
Eric was like a bear with a sore head as he complained about the state of the dunny. He was concerned that camp mates were leaving the lid up, running the risk of spiders and other jungle critters sneaking in and biting him!
CAMP CHAOS
The former Snake Rock team were disgusted at the state of the Croc Creek camp. "It's like a skip' commented Eric. "Its chaos. They just throw everything everywhere."
Ashely said "At Snake Rock we were clean and organised. We had a routine. We washed the dishes and we've come over here and there is crap everywhere."
