MORNING SNORY

 

Joey emerged from his tree house lodgings in a great mood, performing a little self-penned rap and said he’d been woken by Vincent’s snoring. “I’ve never snored before; maybe my day will come when I will actually snore.”

 

The noise was the talk of the camp. “Everyone’s sleeping very well,” said Laila. “The snoring bunch is normally right out of tune, Alfonso snores like a soft bear, if I’d been in bed with them I’d be elbowing them to shut up.”

 

He is oblivious to his snoring, the ground was shaking.

 

MATTHEW WON’T LET LUCY SPEAK

 

Matthew branded Kian a ‘scab’ during a row in which the television presenter tried to get the other celebrities to support his mutiny.

 

The celebrities were complaining it was hot in camp and had asked producers if the canopy, which protects the camp from heavy rain fall, could be opened to allow them to sit in the shade.

 

Kian’s request for the canopy to be opened was refused. “They (producers) are not taking it down because they have said there is plenty of shade in other parts of the camp and around the pool area if you don’t want to be inside.”

 

This led to a call for collective protest action from Matthew. “If we all take our mikes off we’ll soon find the canopy will come down pretty quick. Are you with me fellows, revolution aye?”

 

Kian said: “No one seemed to jump on board with that idea, it didn’t really happen to be honest.”

 

Lucy then arrived back in camp eager to tell the story about her trial experience. She looked down and dejected and appeared disappointed with herself.

 

“I thought it would be a really good idea to lie to them and pretend I hadn’t done very well. Everyone sets such a high standard in here.”

Matthew interrupted her starting to tell her story by saying: “We thought we’d sit here in complete silence until the canopy comes down.”

 

Kian however asked Lucy why she was feeling disappointed. “I’d psyched myself up and then felt I had let everyone down.”

 

“Tell us about the trial then Lucy,” urged the Westlife singer.

 

Matthew protested: “That’s solidarity brother, that’s what happened with industrial relations in this country, scabs like you.”

 

As Kian pushed on with his questioning of Lucy, Matthew exclaimed: “Oh scab! I didn’t even want the canopy down, I’m only doing it for everyone else, I thought we were going to make some kind of stand and then every three seconds you are undermining it.”

 

Snapping back Kian said: “You are the only person who wants to do it! Lucy has just come back from the trial we should listen to her speak! Let her talk about it. Your attitude is unnecessary.”

 

Alfonso supported Kian. “Every day we look forward to that person going out and coming back and having all of us support them when they came back in. Lucy didn’t have us support her when she came back in and that is not acceptable. You will tear this camp apart if that continues to happen. Kian was trying to do it and he was shut down and became a scab because he was giving her her moment. There are places of shade and places for people to go.”

 

In the Bush Telegraph Lucy said: “The whole effect of the story was wasted! I had to keep the ‘I’m disappointed’ face for an awful lot longer than I anticipated. I wanted to do a bit of a performance but it all went a bit pear shaped! ”

 

Kian said: “Matthew wanted everyone to protest but no one jumped on board really with that one. When the canopy is closed the sun hits the beds nicely but we are able to find shade. Everyone was really excited to see Lucy and find out how she did in the trial, I was encouraging her to tell her story. He kind of snapped at me over the situation as if to say that I was pursuing Lucy to get the info out of her, he can be sharp tongued at times and let things get to him.”

 

NAUGHTY KIDS IN CAMP

 

Joey has invited Amy to Essex for a night out and she readily accepted.

 

“I want to experience the Essex experience. I’ve never been and I think I will love it.”

 

“You will love it; you can come out with me and my mates if you want. We have become close you and me,” said Joey.

 

“Yes, we’re like jungle buddies, I would love to go out in Essex we could do our secret handshake on the dance floor,” she replied.

 

The young celebrities had been making up a secret handshake in their treehouse, watched by the other celebrities who referred to Amy and Joey as the kids and thought they were playing pat-a-cake. Kian watched on slightly enviously as they had fun.

 

“Everyone is slagging them off and taking the mickey out of them and saying ‘oh look at them making up handshakes’, sometimes I would like to be over there with the two kids because sometimes they are ten times more light-hearted than what’s going on in the main camp.”

 

CONTRABAND IN CAMP

 

Celebrities were forced to handover some contraband they had secreted around their beds after cameras caught Amy giving Joey a piece of chewing gum which then led to some astonishing confessions.

 

Lucy had been suspicious of Amy because she carried a bag around with her all day. “Amy has a bag called Betsy which she takes everywhere with her, Betsy goes to the toilet, upstairs, in the Bush Telegraph, it’s just like a handbag only we’ve nothing to put in a bag in there.”

 

The secret stash was revealed when Amy asked Joey if he wanted to know a secret and then drew a piece of contraband chewing gum out of her bag and split it with her friend.

 

David read out a laminate: “Celebrities, there is contraband in camp; unless it is handed in you will only receive seven of the ten meals that Lucy won in today’s trial.”

 

With that the guilty parties owned up and handed over items including towels, hand sanitiser, a torch, pen, chewing gum and an empty water bottle.

 

Amy claimed she found the chewing gum and was going to share it when she got the opportunity and Annabel said she’d found the torch and had given it to Vincent to help with his pee pee problem!

 

Kian then confessed to his fellow celebrities that he used to steal from the pick and mix section at the supermarket! “I’d go to the pick and mix and put a sweet in my mouth and two in my pocket. If anyone did come up and say excuse me sir you’ve eaten three sweets, I’d be like ‘alright, I’ll leave the $200 pounds of shopping in my trolley, pay for the three sweets and go elsewhere!’

 

Laila said she would also eat going around the supermarket. ‘I’ve gone round and eaten a packet of crisps before and put the paper in the bin at the end and I’ve eaten them lovely big prawns before when they’ve wanted $8 for them – don’t ask me where I’ve put the packet though!” She laughed.

 

Amy confessed “I’ve gone around the bakery section of my supermarket and picked up samples then gone around and around again eating them.”

 

WEB OF FLIES

 

Vincent had to embody – literally – his fear of spiders by taking part in the challenge Web of Flies.

 

He set off with Annabel to play for treats in a challenge that tested their fear of heights and communication skills to the limit. As they reached the ravine they found the laminate which read: “A hair hungry spider is waiting in the sky, staring at its food that is flying way up high. Moving back and forth to catch the yummy flies, throw them in the web to release the dollar prize.”

 

Annabel took the controls while Vincent jumped into the very hairy spider costume and was spun out over the ravine to catch his flies. “You can’t be scared because it’s not real darling,” reassured Annabel.

 

“I’m having a bit of doubt, the communication is going to be a bit of a challenge between me and Annabel because I’m Italian and my accent and my lisp could be a bit difficult for her to understand.”

 

However the communication was no problem and with Annabel’s steering skills, Vincent caught all the flies and they won the challenge.

 

I LOVE YOU

 

Annabel and Vincent made their way to the Outback Shack to spend their Dingo Dollars.  They were given a choice of tea bags or chocolate biscuits and on the basis that they had no milk in camp, they chose chocolate biscuits.

 

Lucy ran to the phone box and repeated the question.  “According to a recent survey what percentage of women admitted to saying ‘I love you’ when they didn’t really mean it?  32% or 43%

 

The question sparked debate as Laila and a couple of the others said the higher figure and out at the Outback Shack Vincent said the same.  However in camp they’d talked themselves into the lower number – which was incorrect.

 

“Women.  Bunch of liars” joked Matthew.

 

“I told you it was right straight away” said Laila.  “I was the only one that held my hand up and said it’s higher out of the whole lot of them.”  Later she added “I’ve been with a bloke and I fell out of love with him and you have to just keep the peace. I knew it was high.”

 

Annabel wasn’t happy.  “As you know I’ve been asking for chocolate biscuits for some time now and they were on the other side of the counter.  I’ll never get over this.  Ever.”

 

IT’S LUCY’S TURN

 

The camp seemed surprised that Lucy got picked for the trial.  “It’s a strange feeling isn’t it” said Amy.  Lucy explained: “Everyone’s got to be chosen at some point.  Automatically you think ‘oh shoot what have I done wrong.  Are people trying to punish me for something?  You don’t think they’re voting for any other reason so your brain starts going a bit and you think what have I done, who have I offended?”

 

Matthew and Annabel comforted and encouraged Lucy.  “You’re so strong and brave like a lion” said Annabel.    “I’m not worried at all.  I’m really admiration.  I think you’ll be brilliant” she continued.  And later she added “She is perfect material for a trial.  I think she is going to do brilliantly. I have all faith in her.”

 

“Come on Lucy.  It will be fine.  It’s what you came here to do.  Everyone’s got to do one and everybody will do one.”

 

Amy said that she had thought she’d be the one picked for the trial.  “I thought it was me.  I didn’t even question it would be Lucy and when they said Lucy I was like oh wow!  I made a lucky escape there then.”

 

Lucy psyched herself up.  “Right, put your hard face on, game face.  Rock solid.  Nothing can scare me.”

 

But as the time of the trial grew closer she felt more and more nervous because of the great performance of past contestants in the trials.   She said “Under pressure who knows what it’s going to be I don’t know.  I’m scared now.  I feel massive pressure today to get at least on par with what’s been done before.”

 

LIMO SCREAM

 

Lucy made her way to the Trials clearing and explained to hosts Ant and Dec that she had no idea why she’d been chose by the public to do the latest Bush Tucker Trial.

 

“I’ve obviously p-ed someone off or I’ve done something.  It can’t be a positive thing.   Sorry if I’ve offended anyone.  Don’t do it again . . ..”  “I’ve been good” she said later.

 

Lucy could see a large white stretch limousine in the jungle.  She had ten minutes to get into the car and search for the twelve stars that were concealed within it.  Of course, this being I’m A Celebrity . . . Get Me Out Of Here, there were various other jungle critters that would share the car with her.

 

She clambered in and almost immediately had some cockroaches land on her.  She scrambled around the back of the car, knocking an ice bucket and champagne glasses flying as she did.  More cockroaches were dumped on her as she found a star in a compartment and had to screw it off its holder.  She found another in amongst a pile of rotten vegetables and another one in the roof where she also located a lever that would move her to the next section of the car.  She found a fourth star as rats started appearing in the car.

She used the lever to pull down the back seats of the limo and got into the car’s boot.  In there, she found that it was packed full of rotting offal.  She found a red block and got a star but abandoned trying to find two more that were available.

 

She used the red block to lower the screen to get into the driver’s seat and found a star in a spider filled glove compartment.  She then climbed into the engine where she sat in complete darkness completely covered in cockroaches as she unscrewed another two stars.

The Trial finished and she discovered that she had won ten stars as she threw fish guts at Ant and Dec.   Lucy explained that she felt “stinky, hot, dark, I couldn’t find anything and disappointed that I didn’t get all 12.”

 

LUCY TELLS THE CAMP

 

Lucy got ten stars for her efforts in the trial abut said that she would liked to have done even better.  “I would liked to take home all of them.  I hope they’ll be happy.  I’d be up for another one or maybe I should retire now on a good thing.”

 

She returned to camp and told her campmates the news.  She explained “So yeah, that’s why I stink and that’s why I got ten stars.  I’m truly disappointed I didn’t get those two.”  Kian said “Lucy’s just come into camp.  It sounds totally disgusting but she had the guts to do it.

 

Matthew asked her if she had something down her left boob.  “That’s her nipple” Rebecca replied. “No, no nipple.  I dread to think what’s down there” said Lucy.

 

AMY AND ALFONSO CHAT

 

Amy and Alfonso chatted about their campmates and Amy told him that she thought that Annabel didn’t like her.  She said “They said I’m supposed to be helping but they wouldn’t let me.  Annabel hates my butt.  She’s too busy sucking up Joey’s ar*ehole.  As soon as she found out how many fans Joey has, she has started sucking up his ar*ehole instantly.  It makes me sick.  The way she speaks to me, she would never speak that way to Joey.”

 

Amy referred to earlier in the evening when she tried to dry the dishes.  Laila told her that she would do them.  She said “That’s why I prefer to comment as we go along.  It’s not a case of I’ve walked of.  I nearly said it.”  She continued “I didn’t want to annoy Mo.”

Alfonso advised her:  “So tomorrow after a meal, you say I’m going to clean it tonight.  Be on it.  Take the role.  Do it.  Don’t back down.”

Amy replied “But I’m not going to fight.  I’m just trying to be polite.”

 

Alfonso later said “I guarantee there are a lot of people here who will support you.  David pulled you aside. Kian will support you.  At the end of the day you will have support if somebody attacks you and you defend yourself.”

Alfonso said that he was like a “nuclear bomb read
