I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! is in full swing as tensions start to boil over at camp.
Wednesday’s episode (27 November) saw Dean McCullough in hot water with his bunkmates after the radio presenter continuted to skip his chores. Luckily, McFly’s Danny Jones had the perfect blunt response.
Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly similarily haven’t held back when poking fun – and even growing frustrated – at the castmates, with McCullough also falling victim to the presenting duo’s many jokes.
Reverend Richard Coles and GK Barry continued to develop their new friendship, while Coleen Rooney opened up about Wayne’s career at Plymouth Argyle amid calls from the club’s fans for a new manager.
Viewers at home, however, were largely distracted by the somewhat cheekily named “Rank Bank” challenge that Jones, McCullough, and Alan Halsall will be partaking in on Thursday (28 November) – not to mention Reverend Richard Coles’ startling nipple confession to GK Barry.

Maura Higgins describes ‘revenge’ on ex-boyfriend before 'Love Island'
Tuesday 26 November 2024 18:00 , Jacob StolworthyMaura Higgins has opened up about an incident with a former boyfriend that prompted her to go on Love Island.
During a segment on Sunday’s (24 November) episode, Higgins told fellow campmates Jane Moore, the Loose Women panellist, and McFly singer Danny Jones, about taking revenge on her former partner.
Speaking about the build-up to her participation on Love Island, she recalled: “So I had a boyfriend at the time.”
While she was initially unsure whether to agree to go on the hit dating series, she one day decided to look through her boyfriend’s phone – only to learn of her partner’s indiscretions.

‘I’m a Celebrity' fans dumbstruck by GK Barry and Richard Coles’s risqué chat
Tuesday 26 November 2024 18:30 , Jacob StolworthyI’m a Celebrity fans were left shocked by a risqué chat between content creator GK Barry and Reverend Richard Coles on Monday night’s show (25 November).
After a heart-to-heart about Coles’s experience of being a gay vicar, Barry – who earlier in the series opened up about her sexuality and coming out – talked about how she used to be religious. She recalled going to a religious camp when she was younger, where there were men telling her not to have sex before she was married.
She said that even at 13, she thought: “Well, that’s not gonna happen. I see my future and it involves scissoring.”
Coles, 62, then asked Barry, 25, what scissoring is. She chose not to explain it to him in detail, but did tell him it was something that lesbians do. He then started making jokes about the “sizzling scissoring sisterhood”, and the pair collapsed into giggles.
Viewers were taken aback, to say the least. “Talking about scissoring with a reverend. I’m a Celeb is not real,” wrote one fan on X/Twitter

Coleen Rooney recalls meeting with ‘dirty’ Donald Trump
Tuesday 26 November 2024 19:00 , Jacob StolworthyOn Sunday’s (24 November) episode, Rooney recalled meeting Trump at the White House with her family.
“When we lived in America, we were invited to the White House for Christmas, and we went in to meet Donald Trump,” she said. “And we walked in and we got to get the official photograph taken in front of the Christmas tree.

Jane Moore accuses Barry McGuigan of ageism and misogyny
Tuesday 26 November 2024 19:30 , Jacob StolworthyThe latest series of I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! has undergone another shake-up as a public vote shifted control of the camp to contestants Danny Jones and Barry McGuigan.
The changes appear to have stirred up resentment in the camp, with Moore having specifically requested not to do the cleaning. In the episode, Jones claimed that he had been told the opposite by the Loose Women panellist herself.

I’m a Celeb fans rejoice as Dean won’t be involved in next trial
So the campmates have faced their “most terrifying day” yet, according to Ant and Dec. Here we go...
The wheels on the Fright bus go round and round
Tuesday 26 November 2024 21:07 , Jacob StolworthySo, we’re keeping on with the Fright Bus. The longer the celebs stay on, the more luggage items they win for camp – but of course they’re joined by mealworms, spiders and cockroaches.
Birthday girl Maura is not happy
Tuesday 26 November 2024 21:08 , Jacob Stolworthy“This is the worst birthday I’ve ever had!” she says as her terrified campmates serenade her with a rendition of “Happy Birthday”.
First up on the Fright Bus, it’s GK, Jane and Oti. They have to work together to move three red tokens along a bar in front of them – and they succeed!
Still, GK isn’t impressed, calling it the “worst busy journey I’ve ever been on in my entire life”. And we’re assuming she’s been on a few night busses in her time.
We have a new song written by McFly’s very own Danny Jones. It’s called “Roaches In My Pants” and you can guess what it’s inspired by. We’re sure if anyone could make it a number one hit, it’s Danny.
Danny, perhaps desperate to create a melody for “Roaches In My Pants”, claimed a guitar case as his chosen item of choice. We’re hoping the guitar is inside…
A surprise for Oti
Tuesday 26 November 2024 21:16 , Jacob StolworthyImagine enduring a bus ride accompanied by a load of cockroaches and then you get back to camp and find a frog standing on your bag.
An experience like that is exactly what Oti signed up for, in fairness.
Maura’s woes continue
Tuesday 26 November 2024 21:18 , Jacob StolworthyWho in the universe did Maura annoy? While other people’s items had surprise chocolates and sweets hidden amongst them. Maura was given… an apple. “What did I do to deserve this?” she rightly asks.
Celebs sing McFly around the campfire
Tuesday 26 November 2024 21:20 , Jacob StolworthyMcFly’s Danny performing their hit song “Shine a Light” – and then being completely upstaged by Barry McGuigan who, it turns out, has a set of pipes on him! In the words of Reverend Richard Coles: “Revelation of the evening, Barry McGuigan can sing like a canary, it was lovely.”
Viewers are loving the campmates singing McFly’s “Shine a Light” to each other.
It’s good to see Melvin Odoom getting some screen time this evening! He’s been a bit absent these past few episodes.
Where’s Barry?
Tuesday 26 November 2024 21:28 , Jacob StolworthyI’m a Celebrity very briefly turned into a mystery with a confused Barry getting totally lost in the jungle while helping Tulisa carry pots and pans to the creek.
I’ll be more honest: I think this is as nailbiting as the episode’s gonna get.
Tomorrow’s trial will be called Shock Around the Clock. You can vote for which star you want to take part for the next 25 minutes.
But now it’s time for today’s Bushtucker Trial!
It’s the turn of Maura and Jane. Huge cheers for Dean getting a day off (from us all).
Ant just made a bold claim about this year’s contestants. “You’re the screamiest bucnh of celebrities we’ve ever had on this show,” he says.
Anyway, this Trial is called “Fright At The End of The Tunnel”. There are two tunnels: one above ground, and one below ground. The celebrity above ground needs to find the secret code words hidden in their tunnel, reading them out to the celebrity below ground who will be underwater and will need to use the code words to unlock the stars.
Maura’s going above, and Jane is going below.
Eeeeek, Maura is joined in the tunnels by toads, lizards and spiders – the birthday treats continue! And poor Jane – she can’t see anything because her goggles keep steaming up!
Maura is properly facing her fears, fair play to her. She seems genuinely terrified of these spiders!
Six stars!
Tuesday 26 November 2024 21:48 , Jacob StolworthyThey won six out of 12 stars, which sounds bad but, I gotta say, that was a good attempt. Ant and Dec agree, telling them: “That was a very, very tough Trial, so I think you did remarkably, the pair of you. You should both be very proud.”
Oti Mabuse opens up about premature birth
Tuesday 26 November 2024 22:00 , Jacob StolworthyOti Mabuse has just opened up to Richard about the scary premature birth of her baby, who was placed in an incubator after birth.
A tearful Richard has his own story for Oti, telling her about her he once baptised a very premature boy who has grown up to be a healthy young footballer.
Richard Coles opens up about loss of his former partner
Tuesday 26 November 2024 22:02 , Jacob StolworthyThe emotion hasn’t stopped there: Richard has just spoken about the loss of his former partner, David. He tells Oti: “I miss him. He’s just left a massive hole in my life and I’m living my life around that loss.”

Who will be doing the next Bushtucker Trial?
Tuesday 26 November 2024 22:12 , Jacob StolworthyAnt and Dechave just gone into camp to reveal the result of the vote – and, straight off the bat, it might be Maura.
It’s not Alan, GK Barry, Reverend Richard, Jane, Dean, Coleen, Barry, Danny, Melvin, Oti – meaning it might also be Tulisa.
The public have decided the person they want to face “Shock Around the Clock” is... TULISA!
She took the news like a champ.

I’m a Celebrity’s Tulisa Contostavlos completely forgot the the name of two of her campmates in a rather awkward moment on the ITV series.
During Tuesday night’s episode (26 November), the N-Dubz singer and former X Factor judge was the latest star to take on a Bushtucker Trial – and a preview released ahead of the next instalment shows her in action.
In the clip, Contostavlos can be seen strapped to a giant rotating clock, covered in creepy crawlies while answering general knowledge questions asked by hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly.
But as she’s placed under pressure to remember her campmates, two of their names elude her...

I’m a Celeb receives Ofcom complaints after Bible references
16:30 , Lydia Spencer-ElliottI’m a Celebrity has sparked a flurry of Ofcom complaints after hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly made jokes about the Bible and Christianity.McPartlin and Donnelly’s religious quips began after Reverend Richard Coles entered the jungle as a contestant alongisde Love Island star Maura Higging earlier this week.
Donnelly described one of Coles’ trials as “unholy”, to which McPartlin added, “Bum-holey”.
On last night’s episode, McPartlin made further Christianity references as he described Coles’ morning in the jungle, saying: “Though the night before there had been darkness and a plague of insects had been visited upon him but he had received a small bounty that did taste of cheese and praise be... he did rise again.”
Ofcom has since received 70 complaints about the hosts’ material. However, neither McPartlin and Donnelly or ITV have issued a public response. A spokesperson for Ofcom said:
“We are assessing the complaints, but are yet to decide whether or not to investigate.”
Viewers in hysterics as Maura loses temper with Jane
17:30 , Lydia Spencer-ElliottViewers called Maura Higgins “hilarious” after she lost her temper with Jane Moore during last night’s Bushtucker trial.
Higgins had to make her way through and uncover a series of code words under the dirt to shout down to Moore, who could then use them to unlock stars.
At one point the former boxing ring girl was shouting down the word “boat” but Moore struggled to hear her teammate.
Higgins spelled it out, but Moore couldn’t understand the letter “A”, prompting the former to lose her cool and scream: “’A’ for ‘asshole’!”

And it’s that time again...
21:00 , Annabel NugentWe’re back for I’m a Celeb... can you believe it’s already been 10 days in the jungle?
Shock Around the Clock!
21:04 , Annabel NugentTonight, it’s down to Tulisa to bring home stars to the camp after she was nominated to take on the day’s Bushtucker Trial: Shock Around The Clock.
It’s not exactly a surprise given how loud the N-Dubz star was screaming during Fright Bus yesterday.
Here we go...
21:06 , Annabel NugentTensions are rising! Finally, some good camp drama.
Boo!
21:07 , Annabel NugentIs anyone else creeped out by this night vision camera? Everything looks much more sinister in the dark!
As if attracting rats wasn’t bad enough, the rats attract snakes?!
“That’s rat faeces...” Uh-oh, Alan! that’s not something you want to hear when you’re eating breakfast.
Come on, Dean!
21:11 , Annabel NugentDean and Melvin are tasked with carrying water to the camp, but it’s only the latter who is pulling his weight. “It’s like telling a kid to tidy up his bedroom...” said Melvin.
Tonight is Tulisa’s first trial, and Maura and Oti are there to bid her a farewell across the bridge. Girl power!
So what’s in store for Tulisa?
21:15 , Annabel NugentShock around the Clock, explained: Tulisa will be strapped inside the second hand of a giant clock, rotating around the clock face, while playing for 12 stars. For every star, she will be given a category and would have to answer 12 things that would fit into the category within just 60 seconds.
Can she name all her 12 I’m a Celeb campmates?
21:21 , Annabel NugentThat’s awkward – she’s forgotten Coleen and Melvin. Granted, she was spinning upside down while being covered in critters so we’ll cut her some slack!

‘Three-way head to head in the Rank Bank...’
21:37 , Annabel NugentIn the words of Ant: “Dirty boy!”
Did we hear that right?
21:44 , Annabel NugentViewers (and Ant) are in stitches over the name of the show’s latest disgusting trial: “The Rank Bank.”
As if it couldn’t get any worse, when explaining the challenge, Dec made the mistake of saying: “Three-way head-to-head in the Rank Bank.”
The innuendos keep coming.

The topic du jour? Funerals!
A spot of funeral-planning in the camp...
21:48 , Annabel NugentGK asked: “Do you wish that you could go and watch your funeral just to see what people say?”
Richard replied he would want to see that it was done according to his wishes, as he told GK: “My funeral at the moment is coming in at 17 hours.”
Discussing funeral catering, GK shared her opinion: “I’m very against having quiche at a wake.”
