I'm a celebrity...Get me out of here!

I am so glad I'm a celebrity is back...I love this programme! For those of you who don't know who they all are here's a quick low down:-

Mark Wright - Towie star - favourite to win - Mummy's boy - On a break from women
Jessica Jane Clement - Former page 3 girl turned TV star on The Real Hustle - engaged to Lee Stafford
Dougie Poynter - Band member of McFly - Hes the last member of the band to take part in a reality show. Was recently dating Frankie from the Saturdays.
Fatima Whitbread - Olympic medalist in Javelin - She is the man
Willie Carson - Famous retired jokey
Anthony Cotton - Coronation Street star, very camp
Crissy Rock - Star of denedorm
Lorraine Chase - Shes a lady - Star of Emmerdale
Stephanie Powell - American actress
Freddie Star - Comedian - Famous for the headline Freddie ate my hamster

Following the awkward meet and greet at the mansion and their last supper the 10 celebrities were split into 2 groups to determine how they would enter the jungle for their first in the wild.

Fatima Whitbread, Mark Wright, Crissy Rock, Lorraine Chase and Antony Cotton were in one group who would skydive into camp, while Stefanie Powers, Dougie Poynter, Willie Carson and Jessica-Jane Clement would canoe in.

If you haven't watched it yet I suggest you do - Mark Wright's reaction before jumping was priceless! He looked absolutely petrified and I am sure when Lauren watches it she won't stop laughing I was half expecting him to shout for his Mum or Arg. It was at this point that Mark alpha male status went out of the window. But in all fairness he did complete the challenge along with Anthony Cotton who upon landing started crying and Lorraine Chase who threw up in the bushes for a good 5 minutes after. Crissy Rock however did not complete the challenge and chickened out at the last minute, but subsequently had to wait for her teeth to be delivered back to her,  it would seem that you have to remove dentures before sky diving!

 Team 2 it would seem drew the short straw in more ways than one. I would much prefer jumping out of a plan to canoeing. I'm pretty sure Dougie would have been the first to push Stephanie out just for some peace and quiet. But he did get his own back when he attempted to get into the canoe with her and instead capsized her...priceless!

One way or another they all eventually arrived at the temporary camp for the night where they all had a bed waiting for them in a cave, which could only be described as smelling of dead animal carcase. To no surprise they all decided that the smell was too much and slept outside under the stars next to the campfire. I am not entirely sure which i would have preferred the safety of the cave with the smell of carcase or the open wilderness.

Day 2 was not about to become their friend as in the first typically grotesque Bushtucker trial – Scales of Justice – the campmates remained split into their teams and faced being dunked in fish gut water.

The trial saw the two teams of five being suspended above two tanks which contained fish guts, and slime.
The task required the celebrities to reach into locked boxes in front of them - using only their mouths - and obtain stars and keys that could be used to unlock other boxes. The team who unlocked all the boxes first would escape a dunking, get the luxury camp and win dinner for the camp.

Freddie somehow completely fluffed this up and only managed to scoop out 1 of the 2 stars from his box of mealworms while the other team finished. Freddie was still hunting for his second star even after the other team had achieved victory. I just don't under stand how he couldn't find the stars - the ends were sticking up!

Following the task, the winning team – Mark, Fatima, Antony, Crissie and Lorraine – were whisked off to luxury camp Croc Creek. Meanwhile, the losers – Dougie, Jessica, Willie, Freddie and Stefanie were taken to Snake Rock where they will have basic rations and no perks. Which resulted in more whinging from Stephanie the vegetarian.

The teams will remain separated for the foreseeable future to compete for food and luxuries, with Mark and Freddie going head to head in  tonight’s Greasy Spoon Bushtucker Trial...can't wait I cannot imagine Mark doing this for one second.

One thing I will say is its nice to see that the Mark you see in Towie is the real Mark Wright. He has so far come across as a genuinely lovely guy who just loves to hug people and my bets are on Anthony becoming his new Arg. How Lauren kept him for so many years is beyond me I am unsure how long he will last though - he has already announced he misses his Mum, aww bless! I cant wait to see more of him. I also find it strange that they have split Jessica and Mark up - surely that would have been TV gold.
