I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!
A fresh batch of famous faces wave goodbye to their lives of luxury and set up camp in the Australian wilderness for up to three weeks, battling bugs and Bushtucker Trials, rations and rain, and heat and hunger, all in the name of entertainment. They are double Olympic swimming gold medallist Rebecca Adlington, snooker ace Steve Davis, former Westlife singer Kian Egan, fashion designer David Emanuel, Joey Essex from TOWIE, Laila Morse (EastEnders' Mo Harris), Lucy Pargeter (Emmerdale's Chas Dingle), Alfonso Ribeiro, best known as Carlton Banks in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Miss Universe GB model Amy Willerton and Matthew Wright of The Wright Stuff. Who will emerge as this year's King or Queen of the Jungle, taking the crown from reigning champion Charlie Brooks? Ant and Dec once again preside over the daily drama.
Ant and Dec watch the drama unfold as the contestants acclimatise to their jungle surroundings and get better acquainted with one another, and Matthew Wright and Joey Essex go head to head in the dreaded Bushtucker Trial, Monday Night Takeaway, to earn food for their teams. The survival challenge may have only just begun, but will any of the celebrities already be desperate for a plane ticket home?
Matthew Wright and Joey Essex go head to head once again, in a Bushtucker Trial called Up to Your Neck In It. Ant and Dec present the latest from the jungle, as some of the campers start to struggle, and others begin to emerge as potential winners.
Having been chosen by the public for a third time, Joey Essex is the next celebrity to take on the Bushtucker Trial in an attempt to win food for the camp. Ant and Dec round up all the highs and lows from the past 24 hours in the Australian jungle.
Two new campers arrive in the jungle - former Strictly Come Dancing star Vincent Simone and ex-model Annabel Giles, and Amy Willerton takes part in the Bushtucker Trial in an attempt to win food for the group. Ant and Dec present a round-up of events from the past 24 hours.
The celebrities have been making short work of the Bushtucker Trials, bringing back so many stars one wonders if they've been in some sort of pre-Australia George of the Jungle training. Not that we need these celebrities to go hungry to entertain us. Just an hour of TOWIE star Joey Essex would be enough. From "confrontate" to "glumptious" we're learning a stack of new words. Even a scorpion tastes like Marmite on toast on Planet Joey. But as the show finishes week one and the celebs face the scary prospect of being the first celebrity to be voted out, it's all about to change.
The surprises keep coming for the campers as they spend another day coping with the horrors of the jungle and Joey Essex endures the terror of tonight's Bushtucker Trial. Having completed their first week Down Under, there are still plenty of nightmarish tasks in store, and some of the celebrities will be struggling. Ant and Dec round up the best bits from the past 24 hours and oversee a live Bushtucker Trial.
The votes have been counted and the campers are looking forward to a decent meal, but that's only if the next game contender is successful in the Bushtucker Trial. Ant and Dec present highlights from the past 24 hours in the jungle as the famous faces spend another day collecting firewood, tucking into rations and cleaning out the toilet, as well as performing the odd task.
Ant and Dec present the latest action from the Australian wilderness, as the famous faces continue their ordeal. Kian performs his first Bushtucker Trial - the ominously titled Cave Danger - and the campmates discover which trio will win a night in the luxury villa, leaving the other nine trying to sleep on a bug-filled coach.
Ant and Dec oversee proceedings as Lucy Pargeter takes part in the Bushtucker Trial, and there's a round-up of the latest action in the jungle as the campmates struggle through another day of hardship, all in an attempt to reach the final of the competition.
The celebrities have survived nearly two weeks away from home, but not everyone is cut out for life amid the horrors of the Australian wilderness. Ant and Dec present an update from the camp as the remaining contestants take on more daunting challenges for the entertainment of the public.
The latest eliminated contestant talks to Ant and Dec about their time in the camp, their jungle likes and dislikes, and who they are tipping to win. But before that, the Geordie duo present the usual round-up of highlights from the past 24 hours as the celebrities struggle through another day of hardship in the bug-infested Australian wilderness, taking on physically and mentally demanding challenges.
The campers battle hunger, the delights of their surroundings and each other as their third week continues, although for one it's the end of the road with Ant and Dec announcing who will be packing their bags. A nasty challenge also awaits a contestant in the latest Bushtucker Trial, but depending on how well they do, the experience could win them the public support they need.
Ant and Dec present the highs and lows of life Down Under and announce the results of another elimination as one of the well-known faces is removed from the Australian jungle. There's also the small matter of the latest Bushtucker Trial, which offers the hungry celebrities the chance to win something a little more appetising than basic food rations - but will the unlucky contestant rise to the challenge or give in to their fears?
As the race to become the new King or Queen of the Jungle heats up, which of the celebrities will be the bookies' favourites to win on Sunday and who will have to take part in another gut-wrenching Bushtucker Trial? Ant and Dec are on hand with highlights from the past 24 hours of tears, tantrums and terror, and reveal the name of the next contestant to leave the show.
The celebrities' numbers are further depleted as viewers once again decide who is to leave. Ant and Dec present the latest jungle frolics, including another Bushtucker Trial, which sees one unlucky contestant throwing aside their fears - or throwing away their dignity - to win treats for their hungry fellow campers.
The contestants continue their third long week in the jungle, although for one it's time to go home as Ant and Dec enter camp to announce who will be packing their bags and returning to a life of luxury. But before that, they present the usual round-up of action, including fireside fall-outs, creepy-crawly encounters and, of course, another entertaining Bushtucker Trial.
Following the double elimination of Alfonso and Rebecca, at least one more celebrity faces eviction - 19 days after the contestants first arrived in the jungle to face the prospect of untold horrors with the Bushtucker Trials. For the three or four left behind, the end is in sight, but there are sure to be more surprises along the way before the 2013 champion is crowned. Hosts Ant and Dec also reveal the latest stories from the past 24 hours.
The few remaining campers have made it this far in the survival challenge, and they all have their eyes on the prize - but who will fall at the last hurdle and miss out on a place in the final? Ant and Dec present highlights from the past 24 hours and chat to the latest celebrity voted out by the public, asking them about the highs and lows of life in the jungle and who they are tipping to win.
Traditionally the very last bush tucker trial of I'm a Celebrity is the stomach-churning eating challenge, so it was a bit confusing to see Joey Essex and Matthew Wright bravely gobbling down camel toes and pig brains so early in the series. However, this is the final. The conclusion. The end. After 15 days of tears, creepy-crawlies, surprise arrivals, risqué jokes from Ant and Dec, bikini moments, the occasional "confrontate" and some very illuminating scenes (thanks to Joey Essex's gleaming white teeth), we'll discover who'll be relieving last year's winner, Charlie Brooks, of her crown. Now all the happy campers have to do is teeter across that wobbly rope bridge, sip some champagne and return to civilisation, where they'll be hoping their public profile has been raised - and possibly that someone's run them a nice hot bath.
