With Helen finally leaving the camp, we’ve got the latest news from the I’m A Celebrity camp for you to ponder over.
WHO WILL GO?
Rosemary awoke convinced that it would be her that would be going home. “I’m the one to go today 300%” she said to David and Eric.
She blamed her row with Hugo for her prediction. She told them “I was more upset with myself that I was actually fed up. Not because of Hugo. I was fed up with myself for allowing myself to bite the dust and snap.”
Eric told Rosemary his own take on the situation. “You keep talking down to people. When you have a better look at the TV, you’ll see what you’re like. You’re a lovely person but you talk down to people and that’s wrong.”
“We all snap from time to time” sympathised David.
David explained “Rosemary had a chat with me this morning. She’s positive she’s leaving today. She let off a bit of steam last night with Hugo.”
“I called him a petulant little boy, I called him spoilt. I called him everything under the sun. And I was talking down to him. He was acting like a little boy” explained Rosemary.
GOODBYE PRINCESS HELEN
But it was Helen that left the jungle. “Helen Flanagan is no more” said David, after the result had been announced. “A big surprise. I wasn’t expecting for her to go today at all. I think she was as surprised as anyone. I saw a look of shock.”
“That was a curveball” agreed Ashley. She later added “I think the jungle will be different without Helen. I think we might not be as entertained. There was always something to giggle and laugh at.”
And Rosemary said “I had great respect for her actually because she put up with a lot of teasing, a lot of ditsy blond situations.”
David later commented “I guarantee at this present moment in time, she will be having two spray tans simultaneously.”
“She was shocked” said Eric. “I wasn’t shocked. It’s getting good now. Only six left and all six are fighters now.”
And as Helen walked over the bridge, the campmates speculated why she’d been voted off. “I thought the fake tan brigade would be phoning in their droves. Maybe she peaked too soon. Maybe she was overexposed” said David.
THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL
Eric revealed that he would be in the money if he wasn’t voted out today. “There’s a lot of money on today. I told all the boys to whack the bookies that I’ll get half way, so if I go out today, I’ll lose the lot. It’s worth 70 thousand pounds today. 20 thousand to win 50 thousand.”
“Charlie was shocked. “We did yeah. Three of us, don’t worry” explained Eric.
Later Rosemary said, “Oh My God, he’s actually put a bet on. He’s put a very large bet on. If he get’s through to the last six, he’s on a 50 thousand pound winner. Can you believe it?”
THE GREAT ESCAPE
Eric arrived in the Trials area to be greeted by Ant and Dec. They asked if the camp missed Helen. “She didn’t do a lot” he replied before denying that he was wearing her fake tan.
The hosts explained the Trial to Eric. There was a tunnel that had been divided into five sections. Eric had to lie on his back on a trolley and pull himself through the tunnel using a rope. There were six stars hidden in the tunnel which he had to untie and collect. Of course, there would be other jungle critters in the tunnel with him. He had ten minutes with which to complete the Trial.
He was told that he could stop the Trial at any “My kids won’t like that” he said.
He moved himself along and started to fiddle with the knot that the star was attached to as cockroaches were poured on him. “I’m not worried about the cockroaches. I can’t undo the knot” he cried in frustration.
He moved along and got more cockroaches over him. He retrieved a second star and then got jungle gunk poured over his legs. “They ruined my trousers” he said.
As he retrieved another star he said “I’m alright mate. Sound as a pound. As maggots were dumped on his he said “Who’d live in a house like this. You dirty smelly tw*ts.”
The next section of the tunnel was pitch black and Eric faced spiders in their webs. He found a fourth star pretty quickly but failed to retrieve another. As cockroaches dropped on him, joining the spiders he said “I’ve had four. I’ll pass on this one and get to the other one. That was a sweet. We don’t need sweets.”
Asked how he was getting on he said “My kids love you two. I’m going to tell them what you’re really like. I’m on a roll here mate. Don’t worry” as he retrieved a fifth star.
“Bugs don’t frighten me. I’ll take that. If they’re not pleased with that in camp then they can come and do it” as he emerged from the tunnel, covered in slime and bugs.
FIVE STAR JUNGLE
Eric emerged unscathed from his Trial. “It wasn’t very pleasant, let me put it this way. I can still feel things crawling on me now. I’m looking forward to getting back to camp now and telling them five out of six and boy do I need a shower. I don’t smell too good.”
Back in the jungle, the campmates were wondering how many stars Eric would get. “I’m very proud of you” said Rosemary as he explained the trial.
“It was a bit frightening to be honest. (It gave me an) adrenaline rush. My heart was pumping fast. Must be a bit of fear. It doesn’t matter. We’re eating.”
Later Charlie said “I did expect Eric to do well. He’s given everyone such a lot of flack I think he probably felt like he had to prove it to himself.”
But Eric taking part in a Trial unwittingly set off tension in the camp as both Charlie and Rosemary wanted to undertake a trial.
Eric said “Glad I did it. Got the adrenaline going and didn’t let the camp down. The only one that hasn’t had a go is Rosemary. But Rosemary’s got to get in there. Got to get in there now. Otherwise people at home will lose a bit of respect for her.”
Meanwhile Rosemary said to Ashley, “I would love to do one too because I’ve not done one yet either so I’ll put myself forward tomorrow definitely” as Charlie nodded.
BEHIND THE YELLOW DOOR
The celebrities took part in a guessing game which could result in a brief encounter with their loved ones.
In pairs, each group headed to the area and were greeted by five coloured doors. They were told that behind each door was a different prize. They could open the door in any order and if they liked the prize they find could walk away or they could gamble by closing the door and move on to another door but if they did, they would sacrifice that prize. The celebrities had to beware, behind one door was a ‘game over’ sign and if they picked this, they left with nothing.
The celebrities were unaware of what treats were available. Hidden behind each door was a freshly cooked pizza, freshly laundered clothes and two ice cream sundaes. Another door hid their loved ones and the final one had the ‘game over’ sign.
First up was Eric and Charlie. Unbeknownst to them, one of the doors was hiding Eric’s son and Charlie’s daughter.
Eric suggested Charlie pick first. She said she was drawn to the shabby chic door. Encouraged by Eric that she should pick first she opened the door and found freshly laundered clothing.
Eric said, “I’m not bothered by that are you?” Charlie agreed and it was Eric’s turn to pick a door.
He headed straight for the blue one and said, “I’m going for Chelsea blue.” Charlie agreed saying her daughter also liked that team but as the door opened they were greeted by the ‘game over’ sign.
Disappointed they headed back to camp unaware that their loved ones were only a few feet away.
Later Eric said, “We’ll find out what’s behind those doors. If one comes back having had pizza or something like that, I’m dead.”
Next up was Hugo and Ashley. Hugo suggested Ashley pick first but when the Pussy Cat Doll asked what colour he would pick he said, ‘No one would pick red as it means danger, so I’d go for that one. I don’t want to be the one who gets the blame.’”
They opted for the red door which contained a freshly cooked pizza. The salivating pair, clearly thrilled with what they had won, decided to take the pizza.
They sat cross legged on the floor munching happily on their pizza, but unbeknownst to them only a few yards away, hidden behind another door was Hugo’s girlfriend and Ashley’s best friend.
Hugo said about their meal, “I think that’s exactly what I said I wanted on my way down here.”
Later Hugo compared eating the pizza to “being hand washed by Swedish quadruplets.” He continued, “I’ve eaten in some nice places all over the world and been very lucky. But none of these compare to sitting crossed legged in the middle of the jungle with a pizza. Simple pleasure but that pizza was my food highlight since I’ve been here.”
The final pairing were David and Rosemary. The chef immediately had a theory on how they should pick a door. She said, “They are all bright doors, why don’t we go to the lesser door at the end.”
They opened the ‘shabbier’ looking door and behind that was freshly laundered clothing.
A disappointed Rosemary said, “That’s not a treat.”
Whilst David added, “We can wash clothes and we could be going tomorrow.”
They opted to gamble and David suggested that they continue the same theory and picked the yellow door.
A nervous Rosemary started to doubt their choice saying “I don’t like yellow.” When David suggested they pick another, she decided they should stay with yellow. Waiting behind the door was Rosemary’s daughter and David’s mum.
The thrilled pair hug their relatives, introducing them to each other. Rosemary is overcome to see her daughter and was thrilled when she told her she was “proud of her.” Rosemary also joked, “Can you believe I’m doing my own washing.”
Hugging his mum, David asked if he’d “embarrassed her.” She replied no but commented on his weight loss, saying he was a “featherweight” which prompted David to joke, “I’m a cruise weight now.”
DOOR TO DOOR AFTERMATH
Eric and Charlie were first back in camp and wait for their fellow campmates to arrive back. They both admitted that they were keen to find out what was behind the other doors.
Hugo and Ashley returned and told them that they picked red and won a pizza.
Hugo explained, “No one picks the red door because it’s the colour of danger. So I thought I bet the best things behind that.”
Ashley later said, “I think they were pretty gutted. I’m sure there was a little bit of them that was like ‘bast*rds’”.
A disappointed Charlie said, “I was going to pick the red door.”
Hugo joking said in the Bush Telegraph, “Charlie and Eric got the blue door which was game over. I’m so gutted for them. My heart bleeds in the form of pizza!”
A jubilant David and Rosemary arrived back in camp and asked if any of the others had picked the yellow door. Encouraged by the other camp mates to tell them what was behind their doors, the pair finally revealed they had five minute with their loved ones.
A shocked Charlie became tearful when she realised that her daughter, Kiki could have been behind the door.
Charlie said, “I swear to God, It felt like somebody had got a boot and kicked me in the gut. I didn’t even think about having your family behind the door would have been an option.”
Rosemary and David then explained that the relatives could hear everything that they were saying.
A tearful Charlie was comforted by her camp mates and said, “This is heartbreaking. Yellow’s my favourite colour she would have been thinking ‘mummy would pick yellow.’”
She continued, “Its fine, I just can’t believe she was there that’s what’s got me more than anything. It doesn’t matter that we didn’t get it, it was just that she was so close.”
She then added, “Oh my God I can’t cope.”
Later in the Bush Telegraph, Charlie said, “I’m really glad I didn’t get the pizza. I’m really glad that I didn’t get anything because if I’d sat there and enjoyed something knowing afterwards that she was there whilst I was going ‘this is the best prize’ I think I would have felt even worse.”
Ashley later added, “Poor Charlie is gutted. It’s her child. She’s trying to keep it together we’re trying to give her positive thoughts but she’s really bummed out that her daughter was standing on the other side.”
Later in camp Charlie whispered, “Kiki I’m so sorry.”
THE CLOTHES SHOW
Rosemary decided that she wanted to design the girls a jungle outfit. “Do you want me to make you something Charlie” she asked. “I don’t think I’ll wear it as well as Ashley” replied an unenthusiastic Charlie.
The reluctant girls went along with Rosemary’s plan. “When she first mentioned the fashion show, I thought I don’t want to do that right now” said Ashley later.
And Charlie said “I think the most enthusiastic person is Rosemary definitely. Me and Ashley were a bit reluctant” said Charlie.
It was decided that Ashley would model the clothes. David commented “Everyone ducked away. They were like cockroaches when you turn on a light and they only one left was Ashley.”
Ashley explained “I have the chance to be the face of jungle couture. She was like ‘we could make a Gaga hat’.”
Rosemary said “hats and me don’t get on at all well” as she she put an enormous green leaf on her head.
But the campmates went along with Rosemary’s couture aspirations. “She knows she’s going to look daft but she doesn't mind because it keeps Rosemary entertained. It keeps Rosemary happy.” said David.
“I tell you what” said Rosemary as she fashioned a hat out of a leaf. “Vivienne Westwood, eat your heart out” as she suggested that Ashley wear her jungle gear in her next show.
BLOKE ON A ROPE - DINGO DOLLAR CHALLENGE
Rosemary and Hugo headed off for the Dingo Dollar Challenge.
After their recent argument, Hugo said, “It should be pretty testing to work with Rosemary. She’s been irritating me for about a day now, maybe this will be a chance for me to find her funny rather than annoying.”
They arrived at the challenge and were greeted by a tin bath tub full of water and a harness attached to a wooden seat.
One of them had to be in the harness, whilst the other pulled the chain to lower the bath. As the bath lowered the harness would go into the air. Also hanging in the air was the bag containing the loot. To unlock the money the other would have to get in the bath and scrub themselves. This would release the code hidden within a bar of soap.
Rosemary quickly suggested that Hugo should go into the harness whilst she enjoyed the soak in the bath.
An excited Rosemary said, “When I pull the cord the bath will be coming down but Hugo will go up into the air. I’m going to get into that bath and I don’t care if there are 10 million people watching me.” I could keep Hugo up there while I’m just soaping myself. Show the power with Hugo”.
Referring to the cold shower in camp, she then added, “Hopefully its warm water.”
Dressed in her blue swimming costumed, Rosemary enjoyed her soak, using the soap she said she was planning on giving herself and her swimming costume a “good scrub.”
As Hugo sat watching high up on the swing, he shouted down, “Concentrate Rosemary. What you are looking for is letters not numbers.”
Distracted by the “gorgeous smellies” around the bath, a thrilled Rosemary was clearly enjoying her bath time. She said, “My gosh I’ve got to go right down to the middle of the soap...this is magic.”
However the chef got herself into a bit of a lather when the soap slipped from her hands and she struggled to find it. Laughing, and flaying around in the tin tub, she said, “It went behind me and being quite wide I couldn’t actually feel for it.”
Rosemary finally freed the code from the soap and called up the codes to Hugo who unlocked the Dingo Dollars. She then pulled out the bath plug which lowered Hugo.
Afterwards Rosemary admitted, “I didn’t feel guilty about Hugo, I thought it was really funny. I was thinking how long I could keep him up there for!”
Whilst Hugo, referring to Rosemary’s dip in the tub said, “I’m sure there will be many men wanting to be in there with her.”
OUTBACK SHACK
Rosemary and Hugo headed to the Outback Shack to spend their Dingo Dollars.
They opted for marshmallows for camp rather than a manicure kit.
In camp Charlie answered the call and relayed the question which asked, “according to a recent survey how many followers does the average twitter user have? The options were, 63 or 208.
The camp mates guessed 208 and a thrilled Hugo and Rosemary headed into camp with the treat.
Rosemary regaled her camp mates about her afternoon in the tub and said, “I will never ever have a bath. I did in front of ten million people I showed my round body in a small bath.”
Hugo then added, “Rosemary you looked sexy, in a beautiful blue bathing suit, you looked fantastic.”
SLAP UP EEL
The campmates were treated to a slap up dinner - of eel. Finding the slippery meat in the dinner bag, they complained that it wasn’t good enough for five stars worth of food. But, rather than face hunger, they soon set to cooking it anyway.
David said, “Everyone was looking forward to dinner and we got eel. To say we were underwhelmed with dinner was a understatement. It was the worst dinner we’ve had so far.”
Hugo told his camp mates, “I was in a tank with a bunch of them the other day and I didn’t like them particularly then.”
