Terrible!
As the show’s stars climbed over the edge of a skyscraper and chatted along a pole to collect stars, viewers took to Twitter to express their disbelief.
Danielle was visibly shaking while Sam screamed, “I didn’t even know I was afraid of heights!”
And here we go!
It didn’t take long for the first housemates to take on a challenge, with Nigel, Nella and Josie taking on the first challenge.
And so it begins…
The 38-year-old This Morning star found herself miles from the Australian jungle when she was dropped into the sweltering outback for her first challenge alongside the controversial 59-year-old politician.
First impressions
Viewers are very impressed with the interactions between the first housemates to enter: Nigel, Josie and Nella, and fans of the show love that Josie calls Nigel “Nige”.
“She’s my winner!”
Viewers were left very impressed by Josie’s interaction with Nigel as she immediately surprised him with a Brexit joke.
When Nigel said he was looking forward to the “challenge” of the show, Josie giggled and hit back: “It can’t be worse than Brexit!”
“It can’t be worse than Brexit!”
Josie Gibson and Nigel Farage were dropped off in the middle of the desert as the pair laughed and greeted each other with kisses as they met.
When Nigel said he was looking forward to the “challenge”, Josie giggled and hit back: “It can’t be worse than Brexit!”
Nigel replied: “It didn’t take long, did it?”
Fan excitement!
Show fans can hardly contain their excitement as this year’s series begins as some housemates are already being talked about more than others.
Oscar-worthy performance?
While many of the show’s stars have put their all into the Bushtucker Trials in recent series, Gillian McKeith has struggled with the challenges.
Although Gillian insisted her fainting was real, her fellow housemates and many viewers were unconvinced.
Days passed…
After getting used to life in “I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!” In the Australian jungle, famous faces such as Vicky Pattinson, Harry Redknapp and Dougie Poynter captured the hearts of the nation and secured the coveted title of King or Queen.
Some have reached new heights of success with numerous TV contracts since their time on the show – but others have faded into obscurity.
The fate of some former contestants may surprise you – but can you remember all the previous winners?
Spoiler alert…
Marvin Humes, Nick Pickard and Jamie Lynn Spears will be seen skydiving before entering the Temple of Doom in tonight’s opening episode. During the process, they will be strapped into boxes and covered in horror creatures.
The countdown begins…
While many show fans are anxiously counting down the minutes until this year’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! starts on social media, there are some who are not so enthusiastic…
Farewell…
JLS singer Marvin Humes is one of the celebrities set to enter the camp tonight. The pop star says an emotional goodbye to his family before flying to Australia.
The former X Factor contestant gave fans a glimpse of the moment as he headed out this week before presenters Ant and Dec confiscated his phone ahead of the start of the series.
Novelty act…
Ahead of this year’s series, ITV aired a special I’m A Celebrity episode of The Masked Singer UK, which featured an unexpected contestant in the form of the camp’s famous dunny.
Lot of money…
Nigel was considered a controversial signing not only because of his political views, but also because he reportedly received the biggest I’m A Celeb paycheck ever at £1.5million.
While we wait for the new series, Web takes a look at the highest paid I’m A Celebrity contestants of all time.
Living in luxury…
I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! Hosts Ant and Dec gave a tongue-in-cheek tour of the base camp the arriving stars will soon call home.
The Geordie duo, both 48, joked that the celebrities would be living in a “ten-bed luxury villa” in a tour clip uploaded to Instagram on Sunday.
Puzzled…
While she played the main character Zoey Brooks in the Nickelodeon series Zoey 101, her words confused some people…
Big names…
Showing the public “who I really am” is also hoped by pop star Britney Spears’ younger sister, Jamie Lynn, 32, who has hinted she may be willing to reveal details about her falling out with her famous sister.
The pop icon’s concerns about her younger sister were laid bare in her recent autobiography, The Woman In Me, in which she claimed Jamie Lynn rejected her plea for help after Britney was allegedly admitted to a residential treatment facility against her will.
Jamie Lynn expressed her own issues with the singer in her 2022 memoir, Things I Should Have Said: Family, Fame, and Finding it Out.
Of her upcoming trip to the jungle, she said, “It takes a lot to hurt my feelings.” Unless you are my children or my immediate family, nothing will hurt me. I can take a lot of shit and it doesn’t bother me.
Mixed opinion…
Nigel Farage has been the talk of Twitter ahead of the show and fans of the show have mixed opinions on the politician. Some demand that he be elected immediately, while others want him to stay for the entire term…
Location, location, location…
The I’m A Celebrity jungle camp where Nigel Farage and his fellow campers are staying is located near Springbrook National Park, near Murwillumbah, New South Wales, on the Queensland border.
In fact, the park is a 15,310-hectare rainforest located on the vast McPherson Range, which forms the border between the two states.
The first time for everything…
The 26-year-old YouTuber Nella experiences a shock in the jungle because she has never gone camping before.
She confessed: “My family have been laughing hysterically since I told them I was taking part… I’m scared of everything, from red ants and tarantulas to rats and ostriches.”
“One time a long-legged dad flew into my room and I moved out.” I was living in my living room and my family thinks I’m in for a shock.
“I’m terrified, but I’m trying to think of the bigger picture.” In this life, you have to face your fears. “Yes, I may scream the whole time, but I will think about feeding people and I will do my best.”
Love him or hate him?
One controversial housemate this year is former Brexit Party leader Nigel, who is hoping to emulate the success of Matt Hancock last year, who rose from one of the most despised housemates to third place.
Nigel is the latest in a long list of political figures to try their luck on the ITV reality show, including MPs Nadine Dorries and Lembit Opik, as well as Boris Johnson’s father Stanley.
Yet many would argue that he has more critics than his predecessors, as his controversial political views changed the face of Britain and divided the nation.
While some hail him as a “hero”, others label him “poisonous scum”, so Nigel hopes that his stay in the jungle will change public perception of him and prove that he is not an “evil” or a “little Englishman”. is.
