Bushtucker Bob gives her a safety talk and advisesthat she breathes slowly through her mouth and not her nose. "You might suck something up!"

Martina barely moves a muscle as fifty grasshoppers are poured over her head and face. "Piece of cake so far," she says... She closes her eyes tight and hundreds of cockroaches and burrowing cockroaches are poured in next... The insects are going crazy inside her helmet and they're crawling up her nose and down her chest. Stick insects are across her face and now it's huntsman and orb spiders - these freak me out, they're enormous. I don't know how she's doing this, the thing is nearly full!

The last lot are snakes and Martina just sticks her thumb up and they're in! She's nails this woman - NAILS! The cockroaches go nuts when the snakes go in and one bites Martina on the nose and make her cry. This is an evil trial!

She brought it home though - Desserts, booze and treats.

On returning to the camp all three of them celebrate their success. Martina is overwhelmed, "We've had a great time. May the best man win and you know what, I don't care who that is!"

On a scale of 1 to 10, just how chuffed are they gonna be with this meal?

(Oooh, I like the look of the 'Coming Out' show. It's on Sunday night and it reveals what the contestants did on leaving the jungle. The footage of Dani Behr was quite sweet, she was in floods when she finally got to hug her little ones - bless!)

THE JUNGLE AWARDS

The three camp mates give their own 'Star Awards' to every camper...

Robert - Conqueror of the Creepy Crawly.
They all agreed he was noble and heroic and they were grateful for all the food he provided.

Dani - Queen of the Stir Fry
For providing very tasty food prepared with gusto, they send thanks for feeding them so well.

Carly - Angel of the Night
"She looked after me when I needed help in the night" George added.

Timmy – King of the Cackle
They thank him for his joy and laughter and for keeping everyone’s spirits up.

Esther - Renaissance Woman
Joe thanks her for being his mum figure and history teacher.

Brian - The Naked Sheriff
...For being the only one brave enough to shower in the nude and naïve enough to think he could keep peace in camp.

Nicola got Biggest Boobs in Camp
 
Simon was given 'The Gentleman Prince'

David won Camp Camera Hog

Joe decides that Martina is Superwoman and the Champion in the Camp. He says she's an unsung hero, kind, affectionate, beautiful – a true champion.

Presenting the King Amongst Men award to George, Martina says he's a dear human being who's brought pleasure, happiness and laughter and a great attitude to the camp.

Joe was given A Man For All Seasons award and George said, "You love and embrace everyone, creative, inventive, principled and defined by your big heart.’

He adds, "If you weren’t straight Joe, I’d jump into bed with you if Brad wasn’t there!"

SO WHO'S THIRD?

IT'S GEORGE!

George doesn't look too surprised and he really doesn't look that bothered either. I think these three get on so well, they're all just happy they were together at the end.

PHONE LINES HAVE BEEN RE-OPENED FOR JOE AND MARTINA - COME ON JOE! VOTE JOE PEOPLE!

George crosses the bridge and as he does, we witness footage of his campmates comments. Phrases spring like 'a gentleman' and 'a blessing to all'.

George absolutely loved his experience. "I never thought I would get this far and it's been wonderful. I am delirious with joy!"

He watches his best bits and beams and laughs throughout - What a ride eh George!?

"Wasn't that something? At this senior stage, who would have thought that I've had that much action. I really have to thank the I'm A Celebrity people for this! The best things are the friendships we have all made. This isn't the end, this is the beginning. We will cross counrties all over the world and be friends for a long time."

"The worst thing was that horrible hike. Then my fall, which I didn't want to do but the ground just gave under me. Then I saw the camp and the double decker bus. See... There are some perks to being so old. I got the bunk on the bus and I stayed there throughout the whole experience."

Ant asks about the arguments in the group. "It was horrible,especially when we had those four days and nights of rain. Everything was so wet and cold and it was terrible..." Ant adds,"yeah and tempers frayed because of that?"

George adds that he is looking forward to seeing everyone on the outside, but most of all Joe. "I'm gonna visit him when I'm in London. I know where he lives." I think Joe made the experience for George, they really are a grandfather and grandson team!

Bye George, you're a gent and a legend - we loved you!

As the lines close for the final time, we see the final three having their Bushtucker prize - a wonderful three course meal. The portions are huge and they just can't get over the trouble that the 'outsiders' have gone to. They have a proper table and chairs, with a tablecloth, place settings, glasses and cutlery. They all feel spoiled and have a fantastic time!

WHO'S OUR WINNER..?

All of the celebrities are reunited in camp and they hold thier breath as Ant says...

The winner of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here and the new KING of the jungle is JOE SWASH!

Joe is overwhelmed and overjoyed. He can't believe that he's won!

Back to Joe in a mo, first of all we have Martina's interview. As with George, when she crosses the bridge we hear what the other campers have to say. They all agree that she is 'well educated', 'the real wonderwoman', 'inspirational' and 'a true champion'. Nicola says that Martina is amazing and when she speaks, you listen.

She is fantastic isn't she?

Martina is so happy. "I'm so pleased and I'm so happy for Joe. You can't compete with Eastenders can you (she laughs) - NO, you can't compete with Joe he's such a gem!"

Martina watches her best bits and her eyes fill up (she's obviously had an amazing time). She says it was very slow in places, but then action packed.

Ant & Dec ask what brought her to the jungle. "What brought me here was not knowing what I was getting myself into. I've learned that I can do okay and adapt to any situation. I also know that I can now work with 12 people I don't know. It was sink or swim, I'm not a mingler. At parties I'm usually in the corner - So now I know I can talk to people I don't know."

She says the worst hing was never being satisfied and having empty bellies. "The only time we were full was last night when the portions were massive. Dani and Simon did a great job cooking for us and keeping us all happy. We had just add rice and beans to everything to bulk it up."

When asked about David, Martina knew that he had a plan. "He went for an interview at one point and when he came back he said to me 'talk normal'. I was like, so what you don't talk normal any other time? He was nice to me, it was just the other people..."

Ant asks if she missed buddy Nicola and Martina admits, "she's the glamour model and I'm the jock but we hit it off! She's a sweet person and I missed her a lot."

JOE WINS! YES!

Joe is still visibly overwhelmed as he crosses the bridge (he looks a little pastey too - someone feed him please!)

Not one camper on the VT has a bad word to say about Joe and most of them feel they bonded with him the most. They all think he's an absolute legend, it's no wonder he won!

Joe watches his best bits and says, "It's been amazing! I loved everything, the whole thing was a great experience - Gorgeous George, the cave with Timmy - everything!"

Joe admits that his worst moment was the eating trial. "Nicola knows, I was dreading anything like that and when I did it with her, I was terrible!"

He watches the footage of the David and Timmy argument and Ant asks why he felt the need to stick up for them. "There was ten people and two people, the numbers were a bit off and you should always fight for the little man eh? I'd like to think that in the future someone would do that for me!"

Before he's crowned, Joe is asked about his biggest fan George... "Seriously I've said it before, I think I love the man. I said in camp I'd fallen in love with him. I don't know what happened... We got on so well and I just wanted to kiss him, so I kissed him!" Fair enough Joey - You can do whatever you like, we'll love you no matter what - You've been fantastic, a trooper and a gent and I'm just so happy that you won!

Joe is crowned KING of the jungle and walks across the bridge to the press. A face beams out from the melee and he cries at the sight of his Mum. I think he might squeeze her head off. Bless him!

I tell you what though... I bet his mum will feed him up tonight. I dread to think how much weight he's lost poor thing. Then again, I've had that many emails saying how attractive he is, he may want to keep his new beard and physique for five minutes and do a photoshoot or two for the girls! Wit-woo Joey, Wit-woo!

So that's it! It all worked out exactly how I wanted it to and I'm pleased as punch. I love it when a plan comes together.

I hope you've enjoyed the I'm A Celebrity Blog and come back and see me next time... As always feel free to leave your comments and why not join me over at The X Factor Blog? It's the Judges Choice this week and it's going to be fantastic!

Have a great weekend...

MARTINA – IT'S BEEN AN EMOTIONAL JOURNEY

Martina admitted in the Bush Telegraph she cries easily and said that her time in the jungle had been a mixed bag of emotions.
 
"I cry at drop of a hat… Even commercials make me cry, I’m a soft touch. It’s a long schlep through here, for three weeks we have to keep control of everything but you have to put everything in perspective and not get too overwrought. I cried a few times, mostly for other people. Once I lost it because of mum, but the other times it was feeling happy or sad for other people.
 
I’ve had my moments in here but this surroundings brings it out. I’ve had my moments but I’ve tried to control it. You have extremes of emotions here because everyone’s on edge."

Martina dds that her best moment in camp was watching Esther put the fire out in the jungle. "It was so funny and Esther just went on..." She can't stop laughing and to be honest neither can I. The footage of her giggling at Esther's rant is hilarious!
 
MUM’S MESSAGE TORE JOE TO PIECES

Joe said watching the video message from his mum made his so emotional "it tore me to pieces."

"It’s the most emotional I’ve been for years, really hit a nerve and it feels like we haven’t seen them for years."

"Everyone’s had it, had a grizzle. It was sad to see Simon go but I know he’s round the pool right now with a beer in one hand and his girlfriend in the other hand."

Reflecting on his first day when he won the Trauma Tank Trial, he said he knew that although ‘he screamed like a girl’ it worked for him as he knew he wouldn’t then have to arrive in the camp by jumping out of a plane, his worst nightmare.

"My first memory of arriving in camp was that this was beautiful, the roaring fire, the camp and the jungle... But then  I was voted to do the first trial which was the disgusting food. It was called I Scream Van and realized this was my second worst nightmare. I didn’t know if I was going to be able to do it or not but thought I’d beat Nicola, a glamour model. When I think back to it now it was like having an out of body experience."

GEORGE – IT’S BEEN A LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE

"This has been the most memorable and unusual experience in my life, meeting those fascinating people and surviving the hardship, it’s been a life changing experience.

The most moving moment was seeing the videos of our loved ones and I saw Brad’s face who I’ve not seen for two weeks talking about how proud he was and how much he was looking forward to seeing him when I leave this camp.

I am so honoured and flattered to be in the final. I thought Joe, Martina and Simon would be in the final three."

 

George tells the Bush Telegraph about his best and worst moments...

"I loved skydiving and I never thought I would do it. I felt like a superhero. I also enjoyed the ostrich trial. We won eight stars while they pecked us, so we did well. My worst moment was when we were trecking into camp and I fell. I rolled down the hill and a tree hit me in the crotch - that stopped me! "

My best thing is my friendship with Joe. Joey is warm and caring, we have spent a great deal of time together. He is wonderful and he taught me the 'Olly, olly, olly' song.  

I wonder if George would have enjoyed himself as much if Joe hadn't been there? ...and I'm sure the same goes for Joe.

I wish George was my Grandad, he's such a sweety!

More soon...

Regardless of the fact that all contestants are contracted until the END of the show. Carly wants to fly home as she's missing football star and fiance, Joe Cole so much. It doesn't seem to matter that she's staying in the six star Palazzo Versace Hotel (yes, you heard me - six star!) - She's had enough and has said she "just can't take it."

 

If you ask me, she'll just have to wait it out. The only other times campers have been allowed home was to rescue a relationship (Marc Bannerman) or attend hospital with a spouse (Faith Brown).

 

Chill out Carly...

Absence makes the heart grow fonder after all!
It's only two more days, just enjoy the hotel, beach and sunshine for crying out loud. Some people would give their left arm to be staying where you are right now - I know I would. This dunny gets very crowded sometimes you know... But you really do get the best view of the campers!

 

More soon...

Did you miss me? Spaces has been down for a good while, but we're back now...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Unbeknown to David, the campers rumbled his plan yesterday (when Nicola blabbed). So the minute David left for the chest with Simon, the bitching well and truly began. 

Martina was shocked when Joe admitted that he thought that he would go tomorrow, "I think you’re going to win the whole thing, I do. I thought David would be the first to go!"

David's behaviour was still eating away at Joe, "You know what does my head in the most with it yeah is that he has been here fourteen days and for fourteen days I’ve campaigned for him, I’ve stood up for him… I’ve helped him mingle into the group and then he wants to make me jealous that’s a really, really low down thing to do. I’m not going to say nothing to him, I’m just going to let ride."

Nicola added, "Some people like David are just so desperate for a career afterwards its last chance saloon for him." 

Then she told the Bush Telegraph, "Joe is such a nice boy, and he has been gullible but he said he would have done the same on the outside word because he believed it, now he’s started to see that David was just acting."

In camp, Joe continued "People come in here and play a game but I do think there’s a lot of people that are playing a game.  But there’s playing a game and then there’s dragging someone else into it trying to trip them up, he tried to use me."

Nicola agrees that David has been doing all this since the very beginning...

Joe is obviously gutted "I just feel embarrassed that I fell for it, it' snot fair. I'm gonna talk to him, but keep him at arms length that's all there is to it."

George then said, "I'm very disappointed with David. A snake in the grass. I think David is basically that kind of person, a manipulator." (George had earlier advised Simon that David "obviously has no respect" after he threw Dani's clothes out of the window of the bus.)

Joe shook his head, "The thing about me George, is I’m so gullible. I will believe anything anyone says to me." George smiled and looked sympathetic, "I would have believed too Joe, that’s why I admired your sense of decency and fairness in standing up for him." 

Nicola looked thoughtful, "I find it interesting watching David now that he has got inside of us. And you know, 'Oh thanks Nicola for the rice' - when did he ever thank anyone? He was so rude doing the chores, he’s only been doing that for the past two days... He just used to go up on that bus on his own or get Joe away from us."

Joe laughed, "You live and learn don’t you George?" George nodded, "And that’s going to be true no matter how long you live."

So that's another session over...
I wonder how long it'll take for the next one?

THE BUSHTUCKER TRIAL - TOWER OF TERROR

Joe arrives at the trial clearing and Ant and Dec immediately pick up on his attire, "What are you wearing?"

"I’m just giving myself that superhero vibe" Joe smiles (pulling his blue leotard out of his bum and yanking up his underpants).

Ant advises that Joe would have to scale the tower in order to collect the stars hanging from the planks and poles. "You have to walk the three yellow planks and shimmy out along the two red poles to retrieve the five hanging stars. To get the sixth star, you'll be suspended just above the top of the tower and have to climb up - That's over 100 feet in the air!

"You have just 5 minutes to collect as many of the 6 stars as possible."

If Joe falls off the tower at any time he would swing back and be able to continue the climb, but the time would keep ticking.

"Five minutes" Joe squeals "I can’t do that in five minutes (he looks up), can I have a couple more minutes?"

Dec asks Joe what he thinks of the trial... "I didn't like heights when I came here. I didn't want to jump out of planes and I didn't want to eat anything that’s alive. I’ve eaten croc c**k, witchetty bugs and now I’m going to get up there."

It's time...Joe goes for it! He shoots up the tower and paces across the first bar to get the star. It goes straight down his undies and he's off for the next... He's up to the next level and he shimmies across the red pole to retrieve the second star.

You guessed it people, this is gonna be a quick trial! Ant & Dec tell Joe that he has loads of time and I can tell he has nothing to worry about, third star - done... fourth star - done... fifth star - done... Joe successfully claims the final star by climbing the rope ABOVE the tower! What a guy! That was a walk in the park for him...

He makes his way back down and is screaming and shouting with joy. As he reaches the bottom he says, "I’m so proud of myself, I'm over the moon. I’m not good with heights at all." Ant and Dec smile, "What can we say? We’ve got a new superhero in the making."

On the way back to camp, Joe admitted: "I feel like I’ve run the marathon or something -  That was really, really hard work. I didn't know how to get the last star. I'm glad I had to climb because I didn't have the heart to jump out of anything."

Well done Joe!
Is this guy gonna win or what?

God I hope so, I hope it's not David!

THE CELEBRITY CHEST - BIG DIG

How funny was that Celebrity Chest, I actually stopped to watch it today and I really felt for Simon. I thought he was going to go potty by the end, he'd had enough of David's company that's for sure.

The pair had to dig a hole and try to find keys to release the chest. It took them absolutely ages as many of the keys were duds!

When they returned Simon had had more than enough and told his camp mates that "it's only hard work because David makes it hard work. If I'd have gone with one of you guys, we'd have been back in half an hour."

He sat down... "It got on my nerves because he kept trying to get in shot, I just wanted to dig it out, I broke a spade that’s how hard I was digging. He tried to walk past me and get infront of the camera. At one point I even told him that he was going to make the final, but I was taking the p**s. He wasn't looking at me when I said it and he didn't say no."

Martina added, "If there’s any justice in the world, he’ll be gone tomorrow."

If you're more interested in the show games than the goss, I'm here to cater for you too...

The chest question was:
What is the third track on the Dollar album?

David answered correctly and inside the chest was tortilla chips and salsa dip for everyone. Yum! Nicola was overjoyed, "they were delicious. I'd forgotten how good things can taste!"

How funny were Simon and Joe trying to catch that spider on the bus? They spotted a whopping spiddy behind a sleeping George and wanted to snaffle it in a cup and throw it on David. It wasn't the idea that was funny, it was when Joe threw a cup of water out of the window and then wondered if George's teeth had been in there! I near wet myself when they were in the Bush Telegraph explaining what they'd done.

WHO GOES?

Ant & Dec walk into camp and they work their way around each contestant...

It might be Nicola, George or Simon! I don't believe it, no David again.

IT'S NICOLA!

Nicola apologises to Martina as she's now the only girl. She cuddles her pals and seems happy enough to go.

She crosses the bridge and meets up with Ant and Dec, who ask her if she's disappointed. "Don't get me wrong, I was in it to win it but I'm happy." She knows that she's gonna get to see her man and her new baby...

Nicola admits that she found the jungle far more difficult than she thought she would. "It wasn't the jungle experience, it was missing my baby. I thought I could push it to the back of my mind, but I physically ache for my baby. It's worse because they can't make it here... If you know there's someone here, I guess it spurs you on. But I have to wait, so it's so difficult."

When she watches the clips of her trials she squeals, "What was I thinking? The eating one was the one I really didn't want to do and I'm gonna go home now and try and get my claustrophobia sorted out. I'm a big fan of the show, always have been... love it, ...and I really thought I could do it. I wanted to do it."

Ant and Dec start to ask about David and as well as mentioning his game plan, she reveals that she's just warned the camp about him. "I hugged everyone then, but when David went to hug me I said 'no, don't touch me!' I told him, 'your plans worked, well done. But everybody better watch because they've got a snake in the grass in camp!'"

Nicola explains that she can understand that David has a plan, "he's obviously watched a lot of reality shows and that's fine. But to cause arguments and things on purpose..."

Time runs out, but there's just enough for Nicola to add that she wants Simon to win, "no, Joe...or Martina!" - She can't decide. I don't think she minds as long as it's not David!

Bye Nic, it was fun.
He may have won the battle...
But the wars still up for grabs!
GO JOE!

You don't think David's gonna win this do you?
You know when you have that sinking feeling....?
Leave your comments and keep voting for Joe whatever you do!

"Today you have the opportunity to win a bottle of champagne for yourself. You have until dinner is over to work these five phrases into the conversation without any of the group realising. The phrases are: Live long and prosper; Game, set and match; All rise; Cheap at half the price; Mirror mirror."

Excited to complete her mission, she shot out and successfully 'worked the phrases' within minutes - not one of the celebrities noticed a thing!

Unfortunately she was disappointed when she returned to the Bush Telegraph... Waiting for her was a tiny bottle of bubbles, but she still managed to share it nonetheless.

Generous that, she could have kept it ALL for herself.
LOL!

Wow! I'm glad Joe Swash has a head for heights!

 

On tonight's show he takes on the latest Bushtucker Trial and he has to tackle a huge erection - (Ding Dong!)

 

But seriously... he'll need to muster all of his courage to climb this thing, it's enormous! Ant and Dec have thrown a helicopter into the mix too (flying around filming) - so it's a little breezy as well. Can you say 'wobbly'?

 

Joe not only has to climb the tower, but walk out on beams to collect stars. It looks hair-raising to me!

 

 

It's so funny that Joe looks like a superhero...
He's got underpants on over his leotard!

I wonder how high up it goes?

(Scroll down for tonight's LIVE blog in which ex copper Brian Paddick became the latest celebrity booted out)

Earlier today, the camp mates were overwhelmed when David advised that they'd all be getting letters from home. 

David read a letter to Brian from his fiancée Petter... 
He started to read in a silly accent and Joe wasn't impressed. "This means a lot to people David, we’ve been here a long time so read it properly!"  David lost the accent and started again... "I’m proud of everything you’ve done…the way you look after your camp mates proves to the world that I’m the luckiest man alive because I have you. I can't wait to marry you in a few weeks..."  Brian was in floods by the end...

Nicola read Martina a letter from her friend Barbara.
"We love watching you kick butt and keeping everyone in line.  Head up, knockers out and you go girl, you rock." What a cracking letter!
 
Martina read a letter to George from his husband Brad.
(Bless her, she broke down in tears herself as she read) "All you have done in camp is prove what I knew already, that you are a warm, loving person. I do not know when you will emerge from the jungle but I do know I will be waiting to embrace you in my arms.  Until that glorious moment keep your spirits up by singing your new favourite song."  George broke into a rendition of Olly, olly, olly - He cracks me up!

Brian read Simon a letter from his girlfriend Layla.
(He was gobsmacked to hear she would be there to meet him!) The letter read: "Surprise! I’m in Australia! I can't wait to see you. Remember to be nice to everyone and keep that handsome smile on your face, I fancy you a lot." Simon put his head in his hands and broke into tears of joy.

Considering Simon's been going on every day about Layla and if she'll come, the campers tell him straight that he's not allowed to escape and go see her.

George read Joe's letter from Kiffy (his mum).
"‘Your sisters and all your family and nan are so proud of you.  Try not to get anymore ants in your pants.  PS. Roast dinner waiting." Joe filled up as George read the letter and then wept as hugeed George and took the note.

Simon read Nicola's letter from fiancée Tom. 
As soon as Simon started to read, Nicola broke down in tears and an overwhelmed Simon could only read a few words himself.

He was touched by the words of Nicola's baby Rocky, who hopes that "Mummy is looking after all the Lions and Tigers and Bears in the jungle." Bless him! 

Tom concluded: "Rocky and I will be waiting at the airport to welcome you back our special jungle Queen."

Last up was David and it was Joe’s turn to read the letter from his two daughters, Amber and Olivia.  They said: "Your Bushtucker trials have left us laughing and extremely proud.  Hang in there, stay positive and we love you to the moon and back.’  On hearing this David began to sob."

What a lovely treat...
It really warms your cockles!

THE BUSHTUCKER TRIAL 

As Simon walks into the trial clearing he clocks the water and shakes his head. He confesses to Ant & Dec that he has a fear of water.

"I don’t swim at all but didn’t want to say anything in camp.  This is the whole part of the show, getting over your fears. I'm gonna do this for my daughter."

Dec reveales the details of the trial: "Under the water are six bubbles.  Five will contain stars whilst the sixth was the base bubble.  The bubbles provide the only way to breath under the water. You have to collect the stars from each bubble using your mouth and teeth and return them to the base bubble.  The stars will be either red or yellow, the red are worth one meal for camp whilst the yellow are worth two meals. Guarding the stars will be jungle critters including Oscar fish, water spiders, Eels crocodiles and water monitors.  Simon, you have had six minutes to get as many stars back to the base bubble as you can." 

Regardless of his fear, Simon heads straight into the water (what a guy!). 

He swims for his first bubble and successfully retrieves the red star earning one meal for camp.

Simon stops to catch his breath in the base bubble before he heads for the second star... Poor guy, the whole bubble is filled with water spiders, but he still manages to grab the red star. Imagine how short of breath you would be from fear.

Sadly, he drops the star as he swims back... (Boo!) 

The next two stars are yellow and worth four meals. He puts his head in the bubble full of eels with little problem, but has to be coached and coaxed by Ant & Dec to stick his head in with the crocs. Well wouldn't you? The final star was in a bubble of wather monitors and Simon made short shrift of that one. It was a shame he dropped that 'reddun' otherwise it would have been a clean sweep.

As Simon leaves the pool, he's a little shaken and receives some oxygen from Bob. He catches his breath and admits, "That's the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life, anything after this is a breeze!"

Ant asks if he's conquered his fears and Simon laughs and gives one word... No!

As he returns to camp, the others are amazed by how well he's done (considering his fear of water) and they all cheer for him and give him a squeeze. Simon admits, "I’m shaken up to be honest, I think I hit my head as well.  I’m still a bit dazed from it all and I can’t really speak, I don’t know if I’m in shock." All credit to him I say... I'd be in ruddy shock an' all! There's no way you'd get my head in with those crocs...

Well done Simon, I'd like to see you last to the final days too!

HAS DAVID BEEN RUMBLED?

Do my eyes deceive me or was that Nicola and David trotting off to collect the celebrity chest?

As new found friends, the pair discovered the celebrity chest in a clearing with a car? A very muddy car. The idea was to wash off the mud and discover the combination for the locked box.

They both stripped down to their shorts and bikinis and what followed I can only describe as 'pawing' and 'plotting' and neither were down to Nicola.

Not all of the footage was shown tonight (because of time restrictions) and the cameras missed some of it too, but here's what we know from ITV - (aren't I nice eh?)

Nicola said that David had kissed and grabbed her in the pool and he had also revealed his game plan to her – ‘He’s planned to argue, he’s done it all as a plan.’
 
She told Joe: ‘David’s an absolute lunatic. He said to me: “We have to change it all now, why don't we do a bit of flirting, we’re here for the same purpose, the arguments have been good.”
 
‘He’s been doing it all along for the cameras, he said it will get on Joe’s nerves if you sit next to me and do bit of flirting.
 
‘On my life Joe it has all been his plan. He went to me: “Let’s do some flirting, the arguments have gone brilliantly.” I was gob smacked, I was scared’
 
Joe laughed as Nicola continued with her tale of David’s behaviour. ‘He was slapping my arse, not just a little slap, a proper bang, he was kissing me and grabbing me.
 
‘He said to me that Joe was favourite to win and probably still is favourite now so let’s get on his nerves and gang up on him. So, I’m sorry but he is a f***ing nutter. I don’t like him, you can have him. He is yours!’
 
Nicola continued her rant: ‘He is not bothered that no-one likes him, he thinks it’s brilliant and it is brilliant, it is fantastic.
 
‘Joe I am being completely honest, I don't like him. He said it would be a brilliant plan to start murders with the rest of camp as it will keep us in till Friday. I was head-f***ed.  I knew what he was doing and tried my hardest not to rise; he has planned the lot the whole thing.’
 
‘He wanted to do it to make Joe jealous, I swear, look at my face, this is what he was saying to me, make Joe really jealous. I tell you he is not right, he’s a psycho.’
 
Although Joe initially found it amusing, he started getting annoyed at David’s behaviour. ‘What a w*****, what a tosser.’ When the pair returned to camp
David put the plan he thought he’d hatched into play.
 
Sitting next to Nicola he slipped his arm around her and told Joe he and Nicola had been bonding.
 
Joe reacted: ‘There’s more of a chance of the pope having a threesome than Nicola going near you mate.’
 
Removing his arm from around Nicola, David replied: ‘Well I tell you what, you better go and check the pope. We’re just friends...we have a lot to make up for.’
 
David then asked Joe, who had been adjusting his trousers, if he was wearing ladies pants and if they would fit him too. ‘Not with that Derby, you’ve got about ten stone on your belly.’
 
As David was called up to the Bush Telegraph he gave Nicola a kiss on the cheek – she looked at him and shook her head in disgust. Joe shouted after him: ‘Get up there fatso.’
 
With David ensconced in the Bush telegraph, Nicola said: ‘That is unbelievable... what do you think? What am I going to do now?’
 
‘Play him’, advised Joe.
 
In the Bush Telegraph David said: ‘Nicola and I have actually been getting close today. It’s amazing, if you'd asked me a week ago, few days ago, I’d say that was crazy. I’m learning something about life, you never know what's around the corner.
 
‘I've learned how anger can come and can go, life is short. I’m going to make best of friends with Nicola. I can't promise how she'll react, but I’m going to give bit of myself to her. I hope she appreciates that. We’re not that close yet but we're finding each others company a lot more interesting than the others. She is quite sweet. Maybe we did get off on the wrong end of the stick. I even gave her a friendly kiss on the cheek.
 
‘Our friends in camp are quite happy, apart from miserable I'm not so sure he'll be here tomorrow. It’s a long shot but a cat only has so many lives and he may run out.’
 
Joe appeared a broken man later in the Bush Telegraph and was confused as to who was telling the truth. ‘Either David has taken my good nature and manipulated me or Nic is being untruthful, one way or another I’m being taken advantage of and if it’s David then he’s trying to mug me off. He’s used me and now he wants to abuse me.’

‘Would rather not have known this is going because then I could have carried on the way I was and not thought anything differently.

‘I’ve looked out for him (David) and Timmy, I’ve put my neck on the line and if this is the case I’ve totally been used….he now wants to take it a step further and have me feel uncomfortable in camp.

‘This is a game and I weren’t playing properly by all accounts, this game needs to stop I need to get back to the people that I trust…I don’t know any of these people, I don’t trust any of these people, I shouldn’t have in the first place.’
 
Nicola repeated the story of David’s conspiracy to Simon who was shocked but said his instincts about David were right. ‘I saw that as soon as I came in here. David’s mask has come off.’
 
Joe warned Simon: ‘I’ve done my hardest to help him out and if he carries on I’ll drag him to the dunny and put his head down the toilet!’

I'D PAY GOOD MONEY TO SEE THAT!

BREAKFAST TIME

Brian's a little star you know. He entered the Bush Telegraph to have a chat and came out with a challenge. The 'powers that be' have said that if he spends the night in The Rat Cage, then all of the camp mates would receive the ingredients for a full cooked breakfast. As all they have left is rice and beans, Brian agrees to do it. Well done fella!

Regardless of the others trying to stop him, Brian completes the challenge and wins breakfast. I bet he'll enjoy the fruits of his labour, he had to miss last night's dinner as part of the challenge - What a guy!

THE ELIMINATION - WHO GOES?

Ant and Dec enter the camp to reveal who's leaving tonight.

It might be Brian... or George! What???

What on earth is going on people?
Who is voting here?

Leaving the jungle tonight is Brian!

Brian has mixed emotions as he was enjoying himself but also feels "a little tired to be honest". Ant & Dec ask why he chose to do the show and he says that it was because he wanted to do something 'trivial' after running for mayor and working so hard in his highly pressurised job. The boys crack up and explain that the show is not 'trivial' to them, it's very serious! Yes 'Antlan' we know. It just doesn't have the same ring as 'Brangelina' does it?

Anyway...
Brian adds that he was trying throughout his stay to be the mediator and he wanted to try and help make a happy camp. "I'm not sure if we've ended up with a happy camp at the end, we'll have to see."

Ant & Dec inform Brian that they now know that David's been deliberately stirring things up... "I tried to welcome David into the group and if he's been taking advantage of that and deliberately winding people up and causing arguments, then that's a poor show in my opinion."

Before he leaves (to finally meet up with his fiance), Brian adds that he would like Simon to win. "He's such a talented, genuine guy."

I'll miss Brian, I thought he was the calming level-headed one... Time for all Hell to break loose me thinks!

What a shame that he spent his last night in that rat cage and all for nothing. Who wouldn't give him a vote or two after that? It really isn't fair this year. I haven't a clue what's going on... and who's voting for David? Is it you? Leave your comments and let me know why, I'm intrigued???

Do you think the right camper left tonight?
I don't! When is David gonna go?

GET HIM OUT PEOPLE!

Leave your comments..

Wow! From all the emails and messages, I'm guessing that you weren't happy that Esther left?

 

Pretty much every visitor has messaged to ask why on earth she was eliminated, so what I'm thinking is that all those people didn't vote. You have to vote to keep your favourite, it's like I always say with the X Factor... So many people visit and say "Why has she gone, I really liked her" but then when you ask if they voted they say "no". It's a bum deal I know, but true.

 

I really liked Esther, but I didn't vote for her. I have to admit I thought she would be safe until the last few days. I was gobsmacked. I can only guess that everyone else thought the same thing...

 

So I'm taking this opportunity to say "Sorry Esther, we'll miss you x "

 

Feel free to leave your comments (and you cna post your 'sorry# too if you like)

So Martina, Nicola and Brian had all tried to move David out of the bus, so that poorly Simon could have his bed. Unfortunately he refused point blank (at least until after Timmy's trial) - Brian was upset about this, but his complaints just made Joe explode with rage!

Joe erupted when Brian said "I think I've p****ed off Martina and Nicola because I couldn't get David out of his bed on the bus and into a hammock."

Joe had had enough, "The object is not to get him into a hammock, I don’t understand how Esther’s got into a hammock and I’ve moved beds five time and not complained once. The object is to get Simon into the bus. This is not a persecution game, it’s become personal."

He sat up from his hammock, "There is an undercurrent here, its sh*t mate, why should you feel you’ve upset them two, don’t give a f**k about them. This team is obviously not getting along. We need to get Simon into a bed to get a good night’s sleep, it’s not about getting David into a hammock. How come Nicola is in a bed and Esther is in a hammock? It's sh*t mate. People didn’t want the bus so why can’t he (David) have it? It’s not a personal assassination."

Joe paused and shook his head, "Why are you so worried about upsetting us Brian, why are you worried about upsetting them? I spent five days in a cave because no-one would stay there and I swallowed and did it. Martina and Nicola getting David in a hammock, that’s a sneaky, horrible, underhand thing to do. Because you have high morals you are worried about people you aren’t going to see again. Nicola’s hatred for David has passed through the group and transcended. I’ve stood up for myself and felt the rough of the gang. You’ve been through enough in your life Brian and seen enough prejudices to think that’s out of order, you put your status in the group before anything."

With that Joe stormed off and Brian didn't get a word in, apart from telling Joe that he loved him.

Joe stamped up to the Bush Telegraph to continue his rant... "Brian hasn’t the bottle to stand up and say anything. He’s scared of them scared of the opinion people in this camp will have of him. Why? I don’t want to see some of the people in this camp again. He’d sooner not put himself on the line. It’s embarrassing. He’s the policeman here that ran for mayor and this is embarrassing that a 26-year-old boy had to stand up and speak for him. There’s no backbone there."

Esther was impressed by how Joe handled it all. She said she was disappointed that she couldn't resolve things in camp after all the years of practice she'd had.. "And all it took was young Joe. If he thinks something's wrong he just goes for it. He's like a mirror, he reflects how they are all behaving and shows them what they're doing!"

Later Brian told Nicola that Joe was upset about 'people' being picked on (in other words Timmy and David). Nicola cried her heart out in the Bush Telegraph as she doesn't believe she is picking on anyone.

...Nicola returned to camp and Simon was so concerned when she hid in her bed and put the covers right over her. He peeped in and insisted that she come out and talk it out with Joe.

The pair got together and cleared the air. Joe said that he didn't agree with hurting other peoples feelings and Nicola said her feelings had been hurt too and she could not be held responsible for how other people feel in camp. I guess that's true, it all depends on how you are behaving in the first place. Either way, they were both right but seemed to resolve everything by the time they returned to camp. Nicola also made a great deal of effort with David when she sat next to him on the log and listened and laughed at some of his stories.

Brian was so impressed with her effort, he nearly cried!

More soon...

It was revealed last night that Timmy would have to face Brian at the Last Chance Saloon and most of the campers are hoping that it will Brian who returns.

Martina, Simon and Nicola were backing Brian. Nicola said: "Timmy is the most annoying man I have ever met so I hope Brian kicks his butt. I really don’t want to heat that whooping noise again." Martina added "Timmy is more ruthless that Brian, he’s too much of a nice guy. He’s the rock, man."

David thought differently, "If Timmy comes back the faces on some of these people would be fantastic because they are really vindictive. While I know Timmy can be tedious sometimes, he doesn’t mean it, he’s not got a bad bone in his body." Later he asked Timy if he wanted to "talk tactics." After a silly rant about conceding if you have to to win another day (which had absolutely nothing to do with the trial), he advised Timmy to "Take him to the cleaners!" - Charming!

As the pair walked to the trial Brian said, "If Timmy decides to play unfair tactics then at least I’ll go down as the one who has played the game by the rules and I’d rather do that than cheat."

Feeling very confident Timmy said, "It takes a certain someone to be up against the collar. Well, Mr. Mischief here is going to bring him down a peg or two and send him on his way."

Ant & Dec welcome the pair to the trial clearing and Ant starts to explain what they have to look forward to... "The winner of this special trial will get to stay in camp for not just one more night, you will secure your stay for at least 2 more nights - as you will also win exemption from tomorrow's public vote off. The aim of this trial is to out drink and eat your opponent by being the first to down a selection of drinks and bar snacks from the Last Chance Saloon’s specials menu."
 
Dec continues... "On our signal you must down the contents of each glass, plate or bowl, slamming the empty vessels on the bar and showing us your empty mouths to prove that you’ve finished the serving.  The first person to do so will win the round. This trial is winner takes all – which means that whoever wins the most rounds will not only get to go back to camp for at least another 2 nights, they will also feed everyone in camp tonight. And we will have to say goodbye to the losing celebrity. You may of course pass on any of the rounds, but you’ll lose the round if your opponent manages to finish off their measure."

Brian shakes his head, "This is the trial I didn’t want" and Timmy dreaded it, "I'm a vegetarian which profoundly affects this."

The first round saw them having to down Beetlejuice Cocktails which was a mouth watering blend of cockroaches, meal worms with darkling beetles. Brian finished his drink around the same time as Timmy but was the first to open his mouth for inspection.

Second round was a crunchy snack of several giant leafcutter ants and a couple of Mopani worms served on a plate. They both struggled with these as they were so crunchy. They munched and munched forever, but it was Timmy who came out on top. Ant and Dec almost wet themselves laughing at the faces they were pulling. Brian threw up the remaining bugs saying they were dry as crackers. Yak!

Round three is a 'penis colada', Mwah, ha, ha, ha! You guessed it peeps, smushed camel and croc penis, with a penis tip garnish (I'm laughing as I'm typing that). Brian said: ‘If I don’t win this I’ll never live it down.’ Sure enough he won and Timmy is left with a revolting penis moustache. "I'm not wiping it away. It's part and parcel of the whole thing!" Eugh!

Brian won the fourth round which meant that there was no need for a fifth. Both guys had one beach worm each in a glass and it was the man who ate the worm, the whole entire worm and nothing but the worm. Brian swallowed it down and it was time for Timmy to go home - YES!

The only problem was that the trial was a little tainted as during the last trial Timmy grabbed Brian's arm and dug his nails in so hard tht he bruised his arm, leaving a mark. You could actually see the ex-policemen yank his arm away from Timmy as he did it and then he rolled up his sleeve to show Ant. When Brian pointed out that Timmy had hurt his arm, he simply replied, "did I?" Naughty Timmy, naughty...

As he left the camp, Timmy said "Bother, whoops, shame, I’m disappointed."

Most of the campers were overjoyed to see Brian. Simon was elated and gave him the biggest hug, George held out his arms to him, Martina beamed and Nicola squealed - it was such a happy moment. After he'd talked about the trial, he told the celebrities about Timmy’s behaviour. "Timmy was very unfair, see these marks here in my arm, it’s out of order. The worm was wriggling about in the glass and Timmy was dragging it out when he suddenly grabbed my arm – that was a deliberate attempt to stop me chewing and to stop me swallowing. He has a calculating side to him that I didn’t find pleasant so I’m not going to be crying on my pillow about the fact that Timmy’s gone."

In the Bush Telegraph David said, "Some would call it cheating, I’d call it aggressive tactics. They are making hay of it in the camp." Agressive tactics? What are you talking about David?

Martina shook her head, "I’m really disappointed with his behaviour. I’ve never cheated and that sucks."

Ant & Dec interview Timmy and when he's asked about clawing Brian he said, "good! I hope it hurt!" He adds that he thought at the time that Brian's arm was the bench or something. "I just grabbed anything, you're just munching away to try and swallow it down!"

Timmy enjoyed his time in the jungle and loved getting to know David. "I'm happy that we both went into the jungle together".

He also added that he was pleased not to have been voted out. "I left in battle". Yeah, okay Timmy - Bye!

So that's Timmy gone, but who will be voted out by you lot tonight?

Who will be number two?

Ant & Dec enter the camp... They work their way around the campers, and we discover that it might be Esther or Simon? What a strange selection? I mean they're both peacemakers... or is that why you're trying to get them out - you naughty public you!

Esther is out of the jungle. She squeals and then says, "I'm sorry guys. Have fun without me!"

I think she's enjoyed the experience, but I get the feeling she'll enjoy the next five days in a lush Australian Hotel even more.

Esther leaves the jungle and tells Ant & Dec that she got far more from it than she expected. "I found that as you have no normal life and no distractions, you think about things much more deeply than you would in everyday life. I've had the opportunity to think about lots of things".

She also refered to Busgate, "I don't like it when you get more than one person ganging up on individuals and I thought that I would be able to stop that or do something about it, but I couldn't. I was surprised, it was down to young Joe..."

Ant & Dec show her footage of her relationship with Joe and she can't compliment him enough. "He's wonderful and funny and you won't have noticed, but he's also incredibly tactile, which is so warm. He has this real warmth. It sounds strange, but when you're in there touch is important."

"I also love that when he's not happy, he just goes for it. He tells people like it is and is a mirror, showing them how they are being".

I'm guessing Esther's voting for Joe when she gets to the hotel then eh? I really liked her and don't think she should have gone. What did she do wrong and what are the public thinking. The longer we leave David in the more and more it goes to his head.

Bless you Esther.
Go and have a nice soak and put your feet up. We had fun, cheers!

Do you think the right person left?
Who would you like to see cross the bridge next?

See you tomorrow with a catch-up on the Celebrity Chest & Busgate...

After dinner Brian sat with his arm around Esther and they had a bit of fun when George made a boo-boo..

Esther told him, "Nicola has a tick in her neck which had to be removed after dinner".

George said, "We’re reaching that point where we’re all getting nervous ticks."

Esther smiled as she explained that it was a biting tick and not a twitch at all - they all cracked up... Bless him.

In other news, Simon is emerging as the new camp cook.  So far he's rustled up a tasty meal of kangaroo tail, broad beans and sweet potatoes which went down a treat. Then again, all he'd need to please Joe is a jar of mayo. He revealed earlier that he has the tasty goop spread across 80% of everything he eats. Now I like my mayo as much as the next girl, but sheesh - That's a lot of Hellmans!

Just a few fun snippets for you until later...

More soon...

After tonight's show ends, the two celebrities (receiving the lowest number of votes) will be taken to compete the trial - The Last Chance Saloon (I just know it's gonna be drinking one with a title like that, don't you?) 

The winning celebrity will go back to camp and win immunity from the next vote, the loser will leave the jungle but will return the following day to be interviewed by Ant and Dec LIVE on Sunday. Within that show viewers will also vote off another celebrity. So we'll here from two of them in one night!

THE BUSHTUCKER TRIAL

Joe, Simon and Nicola volunteered without objection for tonight's Bushtucker Trial - Dread Over Heels. 
 
Timmy and Esther went to see them off at the bridge but Timmy turned back saying he was being blanked by them all (he was and they don't miss him).
 
As they walk into the jungle clearing they're apprehensive when they see a rather strange set of wheels and contraptions.

"In front of you are two large wheels. Two of you will be strapped into them, whilst the other will control the wheels movements from the control panel." 
 
"You’ll have to decide amongst yourselves who’s going to be on top, who will be on the bottom and who will be the lucky one on the controls. The two wheeled celebs will be fixed into position and must then communicate with the controlling celeb to spin the wheels into the correct alignment to pass the star balls from the start chute to the finish receptacle."
 
"In each of the five rounds, the star balls will be released directly above the top wheel – one at time into each of the 5 compartments - your aim working as a team - is to transport them from the specified area of the top wheel and pass them to the specified area of the bottom wheel and finally deposit them safely in the finish receptacle. You will have 7 minutes to successfully transport as many of the 9 stars on offer as you can to the collection basket. Only the star balls in the collection basket at the end of time will count towards meals for camp."

Dec added that the star balls won’t be the only thing released into the wheel compartments, ‘Expect some critter company to make the rounds a bit more interesting! Simon asks what sorts of 'critters' he's talking about and Ant smiles. "We'll talk you through them as we go along..." Mwah, ha, ha, ha!

Phwoar! Simon's whipped his top off and he's got a cracking six pack peeps! Meeeow!

(Sorry... Distracted by bulges, back to the blog...)

So Nicola is the controller while Joe and Simon climb into the wheels. Joe tells Nicola to start turning him and the balls roll into his wheel. Next minute, hundreds of meal worms are poured onto him, making him squeal like a girl. With the ball safely in place between the wall of the wheel and his leg, Nicola rotates him so he can drop it into the catch. It slides acroos and falls neatly into Simon’s wheel (in the right leg container). It's now Simon's turn to be rotated, and even with critters as company, he manages to release the ball. This continues with two balls and then three and the boys endure cockroaches, green ants, crickets and fly pupae being poured all over them.
 
The ants bite the pair over and over...
 
With eight of the possible nine balls returned, Simon and Joe are released from their wheels and Joe makes Ant and Dec laugh as he jumpes around trying to get the ants out of his pants. ‘Those green ants love a bit of meat don’t they,’ he screamed as he empties his shorts and pants on the floor.

Joe cracks me up. I still think he should win this... Just wait till later on, it's hilarious. He nearly nicks off his nads with a sheep shearer - Only Joe could do that, only Joe! Love the guy.

DAVID THE DICTATOR?

Is it just me or is David starting to resemble a dictator the way he's staring out at camp from that bus? I mean he danced on Robert's bed when he left (because he'd snaffled that bunk) and then before you know it he was moving from Robert's bed to Dani's bed when she left. ...And the bus was his as it were.

The only consolation was that the campers told David. they 'may' do some sort of rotation on his bed - But it was obvious that David wouldn't be up for that after he moved in. He told Carly straight, "don't you tell me where I should and shouldn't sleep!" It was David who had suggested a rotation on sleeping in the cave, Carly was just doing the same with the bus.

When Brian didn't get a wink of sleep last night, Martina offered to fight for the bus bunk (on his behalf). Sadly as this would have meant a confrontation, Brian changed his mind and didn't want to start an argument. Martina called him a 'weenie' as he was obviously fearful of David's reaction and Nicola asked if he was gonna let David push him around?

I don't know, David's got them all on pins for one reason or another, some are afraid and some furious or enraged. Can we please get the guy out of there? The longer he stays in, the more the power seems to go to his head. He said himself today, "my plan is working."

All I can say is he needs to watch himself as Martina doesn't seem to be a woman you mess with. She was furious when he came to camp from the bus, ate his food, sucked his bones and then walked off again. He didn't offer to help clean up, do the dishes or anything. "He's done nothing but the dunny run all day and that takes five minutes. You know what, tomorrow I'm gonna tell him that I'm sleeping with George in the bus for a night!"

God help him if he tries to stop her, that's all I can say!

THE LAST CHANCE SALOON

Brian and Timmy are the two campers voted to take part in the 'battle trial'. The winner returns to camp and recieves immunity from tomorrow's vote and the loser leaves camp forever!

Who would you like to see go?
We won't find out till tomorrow, but to be honest I'm more interested in seeing Martina and David thrash it out.

Go on Martina - Get that bunk!

See you tomorrow
