Love it or loathe it, it's a programme that makes - and breaks - showbusiness careers. Our soap expert JACI STEPHEN takes a wry look at life in the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! jungle camp in the first of her regular dispatches on the latest series.

So, another year over, a new one just begun, as John Lennon once sang. ITV1's version of Fraggle Rock is upon us once more. What a shower. I mean, honestly, I usually fancy one, have an affection for another, and at least know most of them.

This year, ex-EastEnders star Joe Swash is too young for me; ex-politician and TV presenter Robert Kilroy-Silk is still too smarmy; and I have never heard of Nicola McLean or Carly Zucker.

But while today we may be asking who on earth these people are, the chances are that over the next three weeks we will all be talking about them as if they were members of our own family.

 

Action woman: Martina Navratilova scrambles down the jungle trail as she headed into the I'm A Celebrity camp

 

It is clear that most of them were asking who the other alleged celebrities were, too.

'Are you in EastEnders?' Robert asked ex-Blue band member Simon Webbe.

Ignorance on the geography front was more Joe's thing. 'Is that near Prague?' Joe asked Martina Navratilova, when she said she was from the Czech Republic.

Bless him. From the Gold Coast's luxury Palazzo Versace, the celebrities were split into two groups and asked to nominate one person to take part in a challenge called Trauma Tank.

Ex-tennis superstar Navratilova and ex-Deputy Assistant Commissioner for the Met (notice how many 'exes' there are among this lot?) Brian Paddick were already exchanging words.

Smiling: A fearless Martina smiled as she readied herself for take-off while former police chief Brian Paddick quaked in his boots

 

 

 

Team player: The tennis champ got stuck into dinner prep at the Home Camp

 

Martina wasn't sure that Joe, who had volunteered, was up to the task.

Star Trek 'legend' (Really? I only remember the one with big ears) George Takei was all for him havinga go, as he had 'youth and confidence'.

Joe immediately regretted his decision, expressing fear when Martina later took a dig at him.

• I'm A Celebrity: Jungle drama begins as stars leave behind creature comforts for creepy crawlies
  
• WAGs Carly and Nicola go for the male vote... and play for sympathy with the homesickness card
  
• MEP Kilroy-Silk criticised for taking time off job to appear in I'm A Celebrity
  

 

Albert Square has nothing on Martina; this is a woman who could eat the entire Mitchell clan for breakfast and still have room for a whopper with extra fries. There was disagreement in camp two, also, where Robert was against Carly going for the challenge, insisting: 'We've got to win.'

 

Brian Paddick, Ms Navratilova, Joe Swash, Dani Behr and George Takei

 

And so the task fell to Simon. Not for the first time in my life, I found myself screaming 'Oh, shut up, Robert!' at the TV screen.

My squeals of delight could be heard across continents as his group made their way to camp across a large lake on floating 'feet', and he repeatedly fell in the water.

 

Where are those crocodiles when you need them?

 

Washed-up: Robert Kilroy-Silk drank plenty of water as he and the the yellow team head into camp during 'Floating Fleet'

 

 

Like a duck to water: Kilroy-Silk doesn't quite get the hang of the motorised Floating Fleet

 

Martina Navratilova was the first to jump out of a plane when the group descended into camp by air.

 

To me, the fearless Martina is one of the finest sports personalities who ever lived, and my money's on her to win.

Below, however, is the latest guide to her rivals to the jungle throne...

Robert Kilroy-Silk, Carly Zucker, Nicola McLean, Esthers Rantzen, and Simon Webbe leaving the Australia's Palazzo Versace Hotel before entering the jungle

Exactly! when i saw this thread i was gonna leave the same kind of humorous take on it....but since you've done my job for me i'm just gonna have a wee sit down :smug:

Or maybe, "I'm the wife of a footballer, get me lots of money"

or

"I was famous in the 80's, I want to be famous again, get me on telly"

or maybe

"I just maybe have to murder Ant and Dec"

"I'm a person that is yet to have a full 15 minutes of fame so to gain this i am going to go on the tellybox, make and absolute twat of myself and it dosen't matter if im a little bit racist or just an absolute brainless idiot"

 

...have to abbreviate it obviously :rolleyes:

And I'm glad she went out, too. Didn't like her character at all, and her fake boobs look dreadful.

Then again, David Van Day is a complete a*hole.:angry:

 

All the others are OK. I reckon the last two will be Joe and Simon.

nah, i think it will be Joe and George and i don;t like Nicola either :P

nah, i think it will be Joe and George and i don;t like Nicola either :P

 

Right choice!:P

I don't like "fake" people, full stop.

 

David Van Day deserves to be disqualified for "acting" and misleading everyone.;)

:dance:

However, as things stand it's still only Nicola's word against his. There's still a chance she could making it all up, as there's no proof.

I saw it on Saturday while waiting for the x-factor results. I don't think reality TV can get much worse.
