Episode 15
Things get silly at camp
Following their ostrich egg dinner last episode, the celebrities are “transformed into a flock of ostriches” in order to fill up a jar with corn to win a “sweet treat.”
Some of the celebrities get very into character. Even the ranger has a hard time keeping a straight face when he comes in with some lollies for their efforts.
Gary and George feel zen
Gary gets philosophical, pondering if the “sun is a portal into the other world.” And later on, when Dyson asks him if he could manage a year of living in the camp, Gary says yes.
“I will never forget this, it’s raw…it’s just brilliant,” says Gary, clearly in his element.
Also feeling connected to nature is George. He came into this challenge without ever having camped before. Looks like he’s done a 180.
“It’s stripped back… this is where I belong,” he says to Concetta, clearly feeling connected to his surroundings. “I feel like I’m adding value… I’ll walk away from this absolutely fulfilled.”
The final eating challenge
Luke and Cyrell haven’t had the pleasure of an eating trial yet, so they are up today. Joining them is Concetta.
George gives them a pep talk: “You are a machine. Remember, chew chew swallow swallow.”
Held in a jungle-themed bowl-o, they are playing barefoot bowls. The closest to the jack doesn’t have to eat, the second closest can choose what to eat, and the third closest (or last) has to eat whatever is served to them.
In the first round, Cyrell wins and Luke is second and he chooses the pig rings (pig anus with ants).Concetta bowls off the green and is punished by having to drink a shot of bin juice and then has to eat the snitchz-crawl, (bugs, bugs, bugs). Luke holds Concetta as she tries to get it down and the shipping begins! Julia and Robert send love hearts their way, but when Concetta asks if anyone will ever kiss her again…Luke laughs and shakes his head.
Luke wins the next round. Concetta is second and chooses the fish and nips (pig’s nipple and a tuna eye). Cyrell is served a pig’s snout with week old cheese sauce. She gags her way through it but gets it down… and then quickly chucks it up.
In the final round, Concetta wins and is spared. Cyrell, who came second, chooses the jellyfish noodles (jellyfish stuffed with cheese). Again, she does get it down, but again, it comes back up. Luke bowls off the green and downs his bin juice with ease; calling it “salty.” He’s served a tongue burger, which he says tastes like liver. Although he struggles a bit, he gets it down handily.
Football Fat Club
Did you know that both NRL and AFL football clubs have unofficial “fat clubs”. Dyson and Luke speak about it, both of them went through them in their careers.
Dyson called it “vicious” and said it led to disordered eating as his relationship to food became “horrendous.”
One year, he broke his leg and so wasn’t working out as much and therefore didn’t hit his goals and had to go through the “fat club”.
Luke says that their stats were posted up on the walls and it was horrible.
Gary says they stopped using it on the female swimming team because it was “stupid”. Luke and Dyson share that they hope it gets scraped completely and Dyson plans to ensure whichever kids he coaches don’t end up with a bad relationship with health and eating.
More dating tales
Gary shares his go-to dating move. He would sidle up to a woman at a bar say to her, “I saw you looking at me.” Then walk away and “sure enough” she’d come over.
“It seemed creepy but because it’s Gary Sweet… it’s not,” says Concetta.
“Not sure of the success rate,” says Gary to laughs of the rest of the camp.
Online trolls
“I used to get messages all the time,” Mia says of the online trolling she received. Football fans would blame her for her football playing boyfriends missing a goal or not performing at matches. They would post photos of Mia and them after a poor performance.
“As if I was ruining all their careers,” she said adding that there was even Sportsbet odds based on who she was dating.
“It’s gone from social media random trolling and bullying online to in-person attacks,” she adds. Mia has had glass bottles thrown at her, people showing up at her workplace and even death threats.
“People don’t understand the effects of trolling. Women were taught silence is dignified…but no silence is making it stop,” she says. “It’s so wrong to sit here and let it happen.”
So she didn’t, she started posting the messages she was receiving online and then other wives, girlfriends and partners shared what they received. Her father also made a statement on his radio show.
“It was amazing to see,” she said on the response. “I felt like there had to be some accountability. It sparked a lot of conversation and did what it intended to do. Bu, it still happens.”
Another elimination
Two celebrities will compete head to head. They won’t be decided by anyone, instead they will be chosen by picking envelopes. It’s completely up to chance. Gary and Dyson picks the letters with x’s and are up for elimination.
“It’s a genuine win to be sharing this with you guys, whatever happens,” says Dyson.
Rebekah makes a comment that all the “oldies” are being put up for elimination…even though they have only had three and there was no control over this elimination. Nath hits back at her
Dyson and Luke have a heart to heart and they both say that they were the others’ highlight and call each other inspirations.
Gary even has a cry saying that if he comes back to camp, he’ll miss Dyson the most.
“Whatever goes down tonight we;ve got mad respect for each other,” says Dyson.
The campmates say goodbye
At dinner, Nath gives toasts to Gary and Dyson. He admires how Gary speaks so highly of his kids and tells Dyson that he was a surprise to him. George tells Dyson he makes the campmates feels safe and thanks Gary for being so great to him when he first got into the jungle and breaks down when he shares that Gary reminds him of his father who passed away last year.
“Stabbed me in the heart…an enormous honour,” Gary says with tears in his eyes. “It’s been far beyond what I’ve expected.”
“I could not have asked for a better experience,” says Dyson. “I’m so glad I got to express my true self.”
Episode 14
The episode opens with an elimination challenge. Either Rebekah or Barry will be going home tonight.
Taking turns, Rebekah and Barry have to drop a ball into a zig zag tunnel and land the ball in a motorised boat. It’s all about timing.
Barry lands his first two easily and then starts to fumble. Rebekah misses her first two then lands her next three. When they’re all tied up, the boat is sped up. Barry misses his and Rebekah lands hers. So Barry is going home.
Ever the good sportsman, Barry wishes her a “congratulations”.
Rebekah returns to camp
The camp has a variety of reactions to Rebekah returning. Although they are happy she’s back, they are going to miss Barry.
“His wisdom, sly wit and the blank look when he couldn’t understand a word that we said,” says Gary.
Rebekah wants to move on from the drama the day before with Luke and Dyson. However, Cyrell doesn’t want to.
“We’ve just got to move on,” Rebekah says to Cyrell. “Can we just put everything behind us?”
Cyrell says she’s going to drop it, but she’s not going to forget.
She apologises to the camp for her last outburst and says tomorrow is a new day.
Barry says farewell
In his exit interview, Barry calls the experience “unforgettable.”
“This was my dream…and I just jumped at it…and it was everything that I hoped for,”
From earning a nickname, aka Big Bad Baz, to joining the Aussie rat pack, and taking one for the team with the eating challenge, he gave his all.
He said what drove him was his children, his son who’s 23 and his daughter who’s 14 – “I couldn’t let them down.”
Barry’s chosen charity was WIRES, the animal welfare and rescue service. He referenced the bushfires in Victoria and how WIRES stepped in to help the animals.
“That’s when you need an organisation to come in and be helpful.”
When he hears that 10 will be making a donation on his behalf to WIRES, he responds, “You’ve made my night.”
The camp gets washed out
A torrential downpour soaks the camp and adds a gloomy vibes to the camp. So the celebrities break out twister and some dance moves. Luke also does the lift from Dirty Dancing with Dyson, Concetta, and Mia.
Smelly and s’not pleasant challenge
Cyrell and Nath are chosen for tonight’s challenge. It takes place inside a gigantic warthog’s head. They take turns with smell holes and hell holes. In the smell hole they have to breathe in smells and identify them. Once the correct smell is identified, they pass the keys to the other. Then they unlock the respective hell hole and blindly unlatch a star while avoiding whatever critters are in there. They only have ten minutes to get all the stars.
With smells like gone off food and dead rats to unwashed socks and everything in between. They score seven stars.
Robert then does some exposure therapy with Nath who is afraid of snakes. He takes a ball python and drapes him around Nath’s arm. Nath still isn’t a fan. Robbery and Julia then play a clip of Brendan Fevola psyching up Shane Warne into holding a spider, which he had an intense phobia of. Watch it here.
Bad date stories
“You’ve had some frickin’ rippers,” George says in response to Concetta’s dating horror stories.
But Luke points out, it makes for great comedy fodder.
He then shares that he spent the night at a girl’s house and left his wallet on the bedside table. When he wakes up it’s gone. He accuses the girl of stealing it…repeatedly. They turned the light on and it turned out that her dog had ripped it apart. Eeek.
George and Dyson bond over their public scandals
“I absolutely know that I did nothing wrong,” Dyson says of the supplement sage which embroiled his football career.
He and George, although from different careers, both endured very public scandals.
“I felt people looking at me…I was a shell,” Dyson says of his feeling at the time. He also says that there was “no accountability” for the “misguided information” that was published by journalists at the time. And the constant reporting on him and his partner took its toll on them.
“It impacts the whole circle,” he says. “I wish I never went through it but it shaped so much of who I am.”
Episode 13
Nath’s birthday challenge
It’s Nath’s birthday in tonight’s episode! And production gifts him a special pair of birthday shorts which he must wear while completing three tasks. However, the shorts have holes in the backside through which you can see heart coloured underwear. First is lunges, second is to hug someone and the third is to stoke the fire.
He completes the first two easily – while also making his fellow celebs think he’s lost his marbles, or as Dyson calls it, “a genuine fruitbat.” However, he nearly fumbles at the last one, he successfully completes the fire and only then, Rebekah spots his shorts. He then proceeds to parade around the camp.
Because Nath completed the task the celebrities get hot chocolates and sheet masks to celebrate his birthday.
Gary becomes a cockroach
In a challenge that brings to mind the sci-fi classic, The Fly, Gary, dressed as a cockroach, has to go through a house and find ten stars in under ten minutes.
“Do not mess, with the old GS,” he says to Robert and Julia. “I laugh in the face of danger.”
Under the kitchen sink he has to maneuver around mouse traps while getting zapped by wires. In the fridge, he gets squirt on. The sink is filled with cockroaches which climb up his arms. There’s another star in some fermented honey. Next is the bathroom, where the toilet squirts at him, but there’s a star in the shower. In the study a gigantic thong hit him in the face. In the living room, the floor is covered in a sticky fluid like a glue trap. He finds them all and gets out at the final second.
“Well, that was quite the journey,” he says to the hosts. He races back to camp in his cockroach outfit to tell the camp about his journey.
“So, I’ve had quite the day,” Gary the cockroach says to the celebrities. He then does a happy dance in the confessional.
Surprise visit from Terri Irwin!
George shares how George Michael once ate at his restaurant. This starts a conversation among the camp about the most famous people they’ve met. Rebekah once met Bon Jovi and Prince. She and her friend were invited to join Prince back at his hotel, but her friend turned them down. Mia met Harry Styles and all of One Direction when they were turning Down Under.
Rebekah shares that the most famous person she had a bad experience with was Elle Macpherson and Gary pipes up that he was once set up on a blind date with the supermodel. But he says it was “horrible”. They didn’t have anything to talk about and they didn’t see each other again.
In response to the celebrities sharing their famous person stories, Robert asks Julia who is the most famous person she’s met. She hums and haws and decides on Terri Irwin, the camera pans to the right and there Terri is, reading a magazine. She blows a kiss to Julia who passes it to Robert, who puts it in his pocket with a “thanks Mum.”
Is romance brewing…
Luke and Concetta are getting close and sharing a lot of laughs and maybe a touch of flirty banter. Nath surmises that there may be some frisson brewing…
Dyson talks about his inspiration, Haych
Dyson’s grandmother battled scleroderma for many years which led the footballer to become an ambassador for Scleroderma Victoria. It was there he met Harrison, the Harrison youngest person in the world diagnosed with scleroderma at five years old. The life expectancy is five to ten years. But Harrison, or Haych, has beaten the odds. Dyson met Harrison after the supplement saga, and his attitude inspired him.
‘He was like a little angel who came into my life,” he tells Barry.
They run a clothing label together, which use his pictures and artworks on the clothes. And the funds raised are used to make Haych’s life better.
“He’s a special little kid…he’s done for me than I have for him…I’m very grateful to have him in my life.”
Another elimination
Luke answers the bone phone and he’s told he has to speak with Dyson privately. Someone is going home tonight. But both Luke and Dyson are safe. But they have to choose who has to battle for their place to stay.
So, they go through the pros and cons of each of the other celebrities. They settle on one man, Barry, and one woman. They suggest Rebekah and Cyrell and play scissors paper rock to decide on which woman. It’s Rebekah.
Rebekah is shocked. Barry doesn’t seem too bothered, he’s up to win the elimination challenge.
“I would have much preferred a reason,” says Rebekah as opposed to it being left to change. “I deserved a bit better.”
Barry says a non-goodbye goodbye.
“This is my family right now, there’s more to go through,” he says. “There’s more rice and beans.”
Drama comes to camp
Luke tells Cyrell that they played scissor paper rock over her and Rebekah. She takes that information to Rebekah.
“Don’t say it’s fair when it’s actually revenge,” she says.
“I’m so angry that they came out and said it was completely random,” says Rebekah.
Cyrell confronts Dyson. He listens to her, and they shake hands. Rebkah then comes over and Dyson tells them it’s not that serious.
“You like us the least,” Rebekah claims. Gary then arrives and gives Rebekah a pep talk.
“Sooner or later we’re all going to go,” he says and gives Rebekah a hug. “Go in there and then come back.”
We’ll have to wait until tomorrow night for the elimination.
Episode 12
The episode opens with the elimination challenge that started the night before, with Matt, Dyson and Luke battling for their chance to stay on the show.
Luke 15, Matt 21, Dyson 14. So Matt is going home.
Back at camp, Barry says he’s sorry to see Matt go, but feels that Matt learned a lot about himself while he was there.
Dyson asks that the camp don’t see each other as “threats”.
Rebekah and Cyrell try to explain their reasoning, he says he took it as a compliment but he still wants to shut it down.
“We’re keeping this family vibe going,” he says.
Matt says goodbye
In his exit chat, Matt shares that one of his highlights was overcoming his “fear of heights” in his first solo challenge and being open with his personal struggles.
“Being open with it actually helped me heal,”
And who does he want to see win? Dyson!
Camp chats and shenanigans
Mia asks Gary to teach her how to light a fire. Gary then lays out the various tasks they have to do at the camp for it to “run smoothly”. Turns out Nath and Concetta are really good at cleaning the toilets. They even created a jingle for it.
At one point, George is asked who is the most famous person he has served. He name-checks some big names including Gordon Ramsey, David Beckham, and David Attenborough. However, the most awkward person he cooked for, was Anna Wintour.
“It was not exciting,” he said, explaining that she basically just ate “lettuce.”
Cyrell and Nath chat about the hate they receive online, which Nath acknowledges is a lot worse for women.
However, later on, Nath shares some good online content. Graham Norton attended one of his shows in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. He had no idea and afterwards Graham tweeted about how he loved the show and from then on, Nath’s shows were packed.
Jungle playground challenge
Nath, Mia, Rebekah, and Luke are chosen for today’s challenge.
It’s taking place at the jungle playground and the prizes are McDonald’s El Maco burgers. It’s less a playground and more an intricate obstacle course combined with a fun house. No critters but lots of racing through runnels and falling into ball pits.
They find all the ingredients to a El Maco burger and score burgers and fries for the entire camp.
They’re told to not tell the rest of the celebs so they can surprise them. It works. Cyrell screams. Barry is confused…until he realises, “Micky Ds”.
Gary toasts the celebs for “bamboozling” them.
Celebrities chat about their charities
Content Warning: This section contains content which may be distressing to readers. Help is available.
The celebs go around and chat about their charities. Barry chose WIRES, the animal conservation charity, because “that are on the ground doing good.”
Dyson’s is the Very Special Kids foundation. He was introduced to them by a family who lost two sons.
“Speaking to the staff was unbelievably inspiring,” he shares.
Luke chose Farm Angels which provides support and services to rural communities.
“I love the work that they do and see the direct good that they do,” he explains.
Rebekah’s is also very close to her heart.
“My husband was diagnosed with bipolar 1 a couple of years ago,” she shares. He has suffered “very serious psycotic epsiodes” and it has been a “difficult” and “traumatic” time for her family. That’s why she’s chosen Sane Australian which supports people with complex mental health issues and their support network.
“There’s still so much stigma…and no support…It’s an isolating disease…we need more support.”
Gary has two “rambunctious” young men, so his charity is the “world-class” The Royal Children’s Hospital, who provided so much support to his family.
Nath chose Lifeline, as he personally lost a friend and a cousin to suicide.
“There were moments when I didn’t want to be here,” shares George during his wage scandal. His charity is Beyond Blue.
Cyrell picked Dolly’s Dream because she has a friend who lost her son to suicide due to bullying.
Concetta chose the Full Stop Foundation, she’s experienced domestic violence and “wasn’t able to escape without these services.” If her mum hadn’t reached out, she isn’t sure whether or not she would be here.
Mia chose RU OK as her charity. Her biological father took his own life when she was just a year old.
“It’s this weird grief that I’ll career for my entire life,” she says, remarking that he’s going to miss out on her life’s major lifestones like walking her down the aisle. “You never know if that question is going to save someone’s life.”
If you or someone you know has been affected by any of the issues raised in this article, help is always available. Call Lifeline on 13 11 14 or visit their website.
Episode 11
The campmates get into a bit of a debate over restaurant etiquette. Concetta starts by saying that when friends meet up for dinner at a restaurant, they should look at the menu and decide what they’re eating before the waiter comes and only then catch up, instead of catching up and then being interrupted by the server.
However, Rebekah misinterprets and thinks she means that waiters need to be more aware that the guests are catching up and stop bothering them. This, of course, gets George involved (and defensive). He and Concetta then act out a restaurant scene with Gary in the role of server and Luke as Concetta’s dinner guest. It devolves into silliness, but Luke clarifies Concetta’s point so by the end, it’s clear she’s on the side of the restaurants, to George’s relief.
The celebs share dating advice and stories
Concetta asks for dating advice from Luke, but Matt offers to chime in.
Luke shares his dating preferences: no tongue on the first date, and he’s pro-sharing unless it’s a chicken parmi at the RSL. Matt laughs at Luke’s dating venue, but for Luke, it’s one of only two options in his regional Queensland town.
Matt talks up his favourite kinds of dates: “walkies”, meaning walking dates. To which Concetta says, “I’m not a dog!”
She also shares her first date story, which involved a pasta dinner (which she kept saying she adored), great conversation and a walk on the beach. It ended with the guy rubbing her belly and asking her to promise not to get fat, because she said she loves pasta. There wasn’t a second date!
Eating challenge
Barry has to choose who is going into tonight’s eating challenge with him. He chooses George, Dyson, and Concetta.
The celebs leave camp to chants of “chew, swallow,” to amp themselves up.
It’s a “Wheel of Misfortune” filled with puns. The first dish: warm cow’s urine for Barry. Concetta gets a penis. Dyson has to eat his insect medley blindfolded. George manages to stomach a tuna eyeball and mouse feet.
In the next round, Barry gets a cow’s anus, then Concetta gets a lamb’s eyeball, which she shares with George. Next, Dyson gets a goat’s testicle stuffed with fermented tofu. Finally, George lands on Fortune, so he doesn’t have to eat but has to choose someone. Barry volunteers as tributes. And so, Barry must eat a pig’s brain. Which he does handily.
Barry becomes “Australian”
In his ceremony, Barry has to answer trivia questions like what a Sheila means, who’s older, Dannii or Kylie Minogue, and how many stars are in the Southern Cross. However, Gary Sweet does lend a hand…
They dub him an official member of the “Australian rat pack.”
Elimination battle
Concetta reveals her secret information that the women are safe, but they have to choose three men to go into the elimination.
Cyrell suggests that they think strategically and knock out the guys who might beat them in challenges.
Mia suggests Matt because he’s mentioned how he misses home. Rebekah then suggests putting up the big threats: Matt, Dyson, and Gary.
She announces to the men who they’ve chosen. First choice is Matt because he’s homesick, to which he says is a “cop out.”
The next up are chosen because they are deemed a “threat”: Luke and Dyson. Luke thinks it’s a “rubbish” and “questionable” choice, because he feels like they’ve all become family.
Concetta doesn’t agree with the choice and says she feels “sick”. It has also thrown Nath, who is surprised they are thinking like it’s a competition.
Last meal and some tears
It’s the last meal for one of the men, so dinner is a sad affair. Concetta waits for Dyson outside the bathroom so they can have a chat. She starts crying before they even get to the waterfall.
She admits that Cyrell suggested the “threats” which baffled her. “I’m going to be devastated,” if he gets eliminated.
“I just want to be like you, I’m just really sorry,” she says through tears.
“No hard feelings towards the girls for making this call,” he says to the camera.
“If it’s my time, it’s my time,” he assures Concetta.
The elimination challenge
The men have to pull out sticks from a column which is holding up stones (well, they look more like balls). They each have sections, and the person with the most stones in their section at the end will leave the show.
Dyson should maybe think about ditching football for whatever this game is, because he doesn’t drop a single ball.
The episode ends just as Matt pulls a stick, and balls tumble into his section. Find out who leaves tomorrow night.
Episode 10
The celebs are greeted with a rotating tree with leaves featuring their faces. They have to throw rocks at the leaves and try to smash the opposing team’s faces.
“My Dad would be very, very ashamed at my performance,” says Mia of her throws.
Despite Matt hitting one of his own leaves, the green team wins and scores a box of chocolates.
The celebrities have fun at camp
Nath and Mia decide to do a photoshoot with Mia’s luxury item: a Polaroid camera.
Barry shared that he once worked with Kylie Minogue, Russell Crowe and The Wiggles on Oh Hey Hey it’s Saturday. He hosted The Wiggles but didn’t have any tea (big faux pas). But it wasn’t all for nothing, he recorded a Christmas album with the Australian band!
He even has a signed poster of The Wiggles in his music room back home!
Concetta is so bored that she watches the men shave. She goes so far as to call it “art” and her favourite TV show.
Nath and Concetta give Matt a lesson on how to do stand-up. Apparently, it’s been a dream of his to do a stand-up! Nath, Concetta and Matt then perform a stand-up for the show, and Matt surprises the lot with his jokes; he even pokes fun at Luke’s upcoming novel.
Dyson gets emotional and talks up Luke
Dyson admits he has a massive man crush on Luke. The two have gotten close. Dyson opens up about his desire to have children and how he and his partner Kate, of 15 years, are going to start trying soon.
Luke opens that he wants a “missus real bad”. He’s had a lot of successes, but he feels he has no one to share them with.
“To any single women out there, I’ve got a fella for you,” says Dyson to the camera.
Later on, Dyson gives Rebekah a lesson on how to kick a football. This gets the camp talking about his football career and making his dream a reality. For instance, how his childhood hero ended up being his coach. The best game of his career was the first match after the supplements scandal ban was lifted.
He then gets emotional as he reminisces in the confessional and talks about his desire to be a coach.
“Helping young kids, you’re helping younger men’s development, seeing the growth in them as people as well as their football skills,” he says. He wants to show kids what’s possible “and be a shining light that they can resonate with.”
George speaks about the wage scandal and hopes for his future
“Horrendous,” George says to Concetta when she asks him how he felt after the fallout of his wage scandal.
“I was getting carried away. But when you lose everything…you realise we’re all human beings.”
“One thing they couldn’t take away from me…who I am.”
Now he’s rebuilding his career, and he’s full of hope for his future.
“I love restaurants, I love hospitality… so much,” he says. “For me to get another crack at it, I’m so excited.”
Tonight’s challenge reaches new heights
Mia and Luke are chosen for tonight’s challenge. They must leap from a platform over a cliff onto a net. They have to hold on for at least three seconds. However, the net gets moved further and further away each round.
Despite a fear of heights, Mia gets it done, and Luke just looks like he’s having a blast the entire time. They complete each level, and there are no more opposing teams! They score a massive feed of pork belly for dinner, which Rebekah has a tough time not backseat cooking.
“I’m a bit controlling,” she admits.
Cyrell and Concetta talk about MAFS
“It had both good and bad,” Cyrell admits as she starts to cry. “That place still follows me now…I really did get portrayed as a crazy, angry person.”
“Those girls were mean and cruel,” she said of her fellow MAFS wives.
“It sounds so silly, but I was so scared to come on the show without make-up,” she continued.
She was also bullied growing up about a scar on her face that she got when she was burned as a child. It’s a major insecurity for her to show her face, make-up free. She wouldn’t even go to the beach or to the shops without a full face of make-up.
Elimination tomorrow night!
The episode ends with Concetta receiving jungle mail informing her that there will be an elimination in the next episode. She and all the women celebrities are safe, but she has to choose three men to put into an elimination challenge.
“This is going to be heartbreaking,” she says.
Episode 9
The first elimination
Tonight is the first elimination. Rachel and Matt are picked by the opposing teams to face off against one another in an elimination battle.
Unlike the previous seasons, when people were voted off by public vote, the celebrities are (mostly) controlling the game.
The elimination battle takes place in the elephant’s graveyard. They have to play a game of bluff with red and black cards. If they pick a black card, they have to convince the other that it’s red and vice versa. After thinking he would not be good at the game, Matt takes an early lead, and Rachel, who once worked as an actress, is not very good at lying.
There isn’t much of a goodbye for Rachel, and we return straight to the camp. Although the celebs are happy that Matt is there, it’s clear that for a few, they would rather Rachel were still there. Rachel and Mia are both very upset about her leaving, both remarking that it won’t be the same without her.
“It’s an incredible group of people,” said Rachel to Robert and Julia after her elimination.
Robert shared that he really appreciated that Rachel was so gracious and shared a clip of her thanking all the animals in her critter challenge for not being mean.
“Rebekah,” she says when Julia asks her who she would like to see win, calling her a ray of sunshine.
Celebs share stories at camp
At camp, the celebrities chat about life back home. George starts off describing his pantry, which is organised to the nth degree. Matt then chats about his two-tier wardrobe system that’s based around what he has worn on his social media feed.
“You’ve gotta love Matt….as much as he does,” says Barry in the confessional after Matt and Gary, and he chats about their respective wardrobes.
Gary shares his complicated birth story. He was raised and adopted by his aunt and uncle. They were unable to conceive, and his biological parents had four daughters and were pregnant, but were getting a divorce. So they gave their son, Gary, to their sibling and in-law to raise.
“Mind-blowing,” said Mia in response.
He continued that he always knew the truth; his family did not hide it from him.
“Growing up with people who really wanted you, that’s good,” he says to Dyson.
“Everybodies really got a weird family,” Gary adds in the confessional. “What glues it all together is respect and love.”
Barry gets emotional
Barry opens up about his feelings in the confessional. He shares that he hasn’t had a lot of friends growing up because he was working. But his fellow celebrities have welcomed him with open arms. He talks to Gary about it, who explains that it’s because they are in an intense situation and they are all feeling it together.
“That’s why we take our shirts off,” he ends.
Viper room challenge
Cyrell and Concetta are chosen for the viper room challenge. And for those who remember Cyrell’s first challenge, she’s terrified of snakes. But Concetta is also very claustrophobic.
The two women lie down in underground tanks as more and more snakes join them. When they turn the lights off, one snake even crawls over Cyrell’s face.
They then have to answer some number-based trivia questions. They end up in a tie, and it comes down to a question on the number of Tim Tams in a standard packet. Concetta guesses 11 and wins.
But they are both winners for another reason. They broke the world record for spending the most time in the viper room!
Unhappy dinnertime
However, Rebekah isn’t happy with the dinner choice and snips at a few of the others. It’s Bobotie, the national dish of South Africa, that’s been packed in a pig’s stomach. However, Rebekah doesn’t like offal and doesn’t hide it. She says it “sucks balls”. But the green team is furious that she is complaining when they eaten rice and beans for two days…Things get tense between her and George…will they be the next drama grouping?
Episode 8
So who won the coin hunt last night? It was a tie! So the captains have to choose a tribute to go head-to-head to try again. The gold team chooses Conchettta, and Green goes with Cyrell. Concetta finds more and wins! The prize: they can buy back contraband and treats. They buy Tim Tams and chips, better than the rice and beans.
Things get emotional
Matt gets emotional when he talks to Rachel about his mum. He is very close with his mother, and the hardest part about being in the jungle is not being able to talk to her.
He breaks down in the confessional box, but wants to make the most of his time in the jungle.
Gary comforts him when he gets back and says, “Good man” for letting it out.
The contestants get hungry
“They really do starve you,” Cyrell says directly to the camera.
Mia shares that she knew it was real because her dad lost 20 kilos while on the show.
The celebrities gather and commiserate over the lack of food and share their favourite feeds.
They regret that when they find out the challenge: a head-to-head eating trial. Gary and Rebekah are up for the gold team, and George and Nath are representing the green team. Each team is served the same dishes; whoever eats the most wins. They have such delectable dishes as chicken intestines with bull testicles, brain tarts, and fermented fish iced cake with bugs. And a “gigantic” bull penis.
George acts offended by how horrendous the dishes are. It’s like they are insulting his tasting skills.
“This is going to be a great story when I get home,” Rebekah says.
Nath locks eyes with Julia as he takes a big chunk of their penis. The gold team wins more scoring, dinner and a tiny trophy for their side.
The first elimination
The bone phone rings with some bad news. Tonight’s the first elimination. And they have to choose someone from the other team to fight for their spot. The teams both deliberate, and it’s a tough call for everyone. Gary is really cut up about having to choose. The green team picks Rachel, and the gold team picks Matt.
“I can’t believe that one of them won’t be here tomorrow,” Gary says.
“I’m not going to hold grudges, but it does suck,” says Matt.
Rachel isn’t surprised that she was picked, and believes they see her as the weakest link.
They start a tradition where every time they’re up for an elimination, the celebs will tell those who might be leaving what they mean to them. It’s incredibly sweet and touching, and there are lots of tears and hugs.
Unfortunately, we’re going to have to wait until Sunday night to see who ends up going home.
Episode 7
We’re a little over a week in, and a celebrity walks out of the jungle.
A lot of big feelings were shared between Deni and Nath, Deni and Rachel, Deni and Cyrell; Cyrell also swam with crocodiles in a water tank when she couldn’t swim and stayed the longest in the Elephant’s graveyard. So who could it be?
Deni clashes with the camp
The contraband is discovered by the production. The celebs have to choose between keeping their contraband and giving up their luxury items. Things get heated between Deni and Rebekah. Deni didn’t want to give up her Maasai blanket and doesn’t think it’s fair that she should have to when she didn’t break the rules.
Luke has a chat with Deni about her behaviour, and they have an “amazing” conversation (as Deni describes it). Luke explains that the people in his generation are more sensitive than hers. He asks for her help in trying to understand that and keep some of her comments unspoken. Deni respects Luke and listens to him, and recognises that if you grew up in a “soft” environment, being around her might be confronting. She listens and thanks Luke for his understanding and for explaining the situation without judgment.
Following that, Nath and Deni also had a conversation and apologised to one another. The tension “popped”, according to Nath.
Celebs pick teams
Last night, George had to rank his fellow celebs. He chose Gary as the most famous and Cyrell as the least famous. Turns out, that made them team captains and have to pick their team members from the rest. Some of the celebs have flashbacks to schoolyards. Nath assumes he will be picked last, but Deni is the last person picked. However, she’s on Gary’s team, which she prefers.
The teams go head-to-head in a challenge; whichever team wins the trial wins dinner for their team. The losers get rice and beans. Gary chooses Dyson as the team’s tribute, and Cyrell chooses Luke. So it’s AFL versus NRL.
It’s a trivia challenge. The correct answer gets them a point; an incorrect answer gets blasted with paint, feathers, and lots of water. It ends in a tiebreaker. The final question: “How far away are they from Uluru?” The closest wins. Luke guesses 13,000km, and Dyson goes with 20,000 km…they are 9,000 km, so Luke wins, scoring dinner for his team.
Celebs share their on-screen experiences
Rebekah recounts some of her on-screen pashes, including Guy Pearce on Home and Away. She gives Nath a lesson on on-screen kisses, which leads to a lesson on intimacy on soap operas and an acting scene. Matt takes on the role of director, Gary is the scene marker and Concetta and George are the cameramen. The stars of the scene are Nath and Rebekah. A passionate scene ensues to the delight of most of the rest of the camp.
Cyrell explains MAFS to George, who has never watched it. She gives him a rundown and shares the story of how she became known as Cyclone Cyrell – also that her season was the most watched, which is why she was astounded that he had never heard of her.
She later jokingly says that shes making a film with Gary, The Golden Oldie and the Green Machine. Deni immediately pipes up to defend Gary, but Cyrell explains that it’s a joke. They bicker, and the singer says to herself, “I want to go home.”
Deni reaches her breaking point
“I’m done,” Deni says to the camera. She tells Rachel she’s at her limit. If Dyson doesn’t win, she says she’s walking.
When Dyson and Luke come back and tell the group that Dyson lost, Deni runs to the confessional and says the words: “I’m a celebrity, get me out of here, please.”
She confesses that she hasn’t had a bowel movement in six days and wants to use a real toilet and have a proper meal. When she returns to the others, Rachel realises what has happened. The celebs say their farewells, some more happily than others. And Deni has a little dance up the road as she leaves.
A bit too wild for comfort
Rebekah, Dyson, and Concehtta go for a swim, and they’re joined by a wild snake. Which freaked her out and reminded them all that they are out in the wild. Robert Irwin tells us it was actually a dangerous situation. It was a Mozambique Spitting Cobra, a highly venomous creature.
Dinner is a tough swallow
George cooks up a feast for his team: lamb chops, fried potatoes, and veg. The gold team are salivating as they watch him work. However, the green team are not allowed to share and tries to be respectful and hides in the corner to eat their meal while the gold team get the fire and tuck into their rice and beans.
But the teams have an opportunity to win a “shopping reward”, which might change their spirits. A Youi-sponsored hunt is on the cards. The teams have to go head-to-head to findYoui coins hidden around the camp. After losing trivia, the gold team are raring for a win. However, we have to wait until tomorrow night to find out who wins.
Episode 6
George finds his comfort zone in the act of cooking, but the lack of kitchen utensils (and foil) is frustrating for her. The campmates watch as he crafts their meal. However, the camera spots that George and Gary have plenty of contraband (salt) to make the dinner taste excellent.
Later on in the camp, the celebrities’ “luxury items” arrive. There’s everything from wigs and a putting green to an infrared face mask (and batteries to use it).
Despite the luxury items, things are tranquil at camp.
Deni clashes with her campmates
Rebekah shares that Deni is rubbing people up the wrong way.
The singer shares that she’s not used to nor does she like being around so many people. She likes her company and her things.
And despite the rest of the celebrities cleaning the toilets in the morning, Deni takes Cyrell to re-clean them. Although she makes it known that she likes to keep herself busy, Cyrell thinks it was “revenge” on her.
There’s not an infinite supply of buckets, and when Rachel points out that no one can use the toilet, Deni relents and takes Dyson to replace the toilet bucket that didn’t need to be cleaned.
Furthermore, Rachel points out that Deni makes people feel “inadequate” when Deni redoes their jobs.
One of those people is Nath. Deni calls him lazy, and he hits back, saying that he offers to help and gets shut down and then told he’s lazy. He reaches his brink and cries from frustration and sadness.
Later on, Deni goes to Rachel to complain about how Nath is “on” all the time, making jokes and talking. She is clearly in a situation that is untenable to her. Rachel listens and advises her to speak with Nath and explain her discomfort.
“Maybe tomorrow,” she says in response
The bone phone
A new bone phone/plot device is placed in the camp, which the celebs must answer day or night. It rings for Barry, who is going on today’s challenge with three others: Rebekah, Rachel and Cyrell.
The four are put into boxes filled with water. Barry is in the first chamber and has to find spanners (which caused some translation confusion as Americans call them wrenches). However, he’s blindfolded. The rest will be put into other chambers that are filling with water and critters.
Barry has to find a wrench/spanner and pass it through to the celebs. Rebekah and Cyrell have to use the spanners/wrenches to unscrew the bolts to get keys, which they pass to Rachel, who has to put her hand into a box with more critters and stars. Rebekah mistakes catfish for sharks, Cyrell screams when she’s joined by two crocodiles, and loses her fake eyelashes. They manage to get 3/5 stars before time runs out and their tanks overflow.
The wage scandal
George spills the beans on his wage scandal. He shares that his company did a full audit of his business and had underpaid a large number of their employees. But although they self-reported, the industry turned on him.
“We owned up, and we paid back…It was the worst time of my life.”
He opens up that he started binge drinking in response to the backlash. It wasn’t until a friend discovered him in the bushes, passed out, that he realised he had a problem and turned his life around.
Rachel shares her mother’s dying message
Later on, Rachel shares one of her mother’s last words as she lay dying from cancer that changed her life. One of her mother’s regrets was that she was worried she didn’t know who she was. Those words struck Rachel, and it set her on her journey of self-discovery and spiritual healing.
“Go be that person that you are, and don’t be ashamed,” she advised the viewers at home. “We’ve got one chance in this life.”
The bone phone rings again
Call for George at the camp, and the caller asks him to arrange people in order of how famous he found them. Gary gets most, and Cyrell gets least (clearly, George doesn’t watch MAFS). Both are going to be affected by his decision, but won’t find out how tomorrow…
Episode 5
Campsite chats
Following on from the last episode, the celebrities solve the scavenger hunt to rescue the other three from the Elephant’s Graveyard. However, Robert Irwin teases that we haven’t seen the last of that particularly dreary campsite just yet…
The graveyard took an immense toll on Gary; he got choked up while thanking everyone for saving them.
“Solidarity, love, respect and admiration,” Gary says of his campmates. He and Barry also have a sweet moment by the fire where they say they’re happy to have met each other.
But it’s not all good vibes at the campsite. Cyrell is having a lot of fun, and not everyone is on board. She doesn’t recognise Deni and asks if she can “actually” sing…eek, Deni does not take it well.
There are plenty of tense moments between the two, from Cyrell using a mirror by the waterbottle that Deni is filling, to Deni entering the confession room while Cyrell is talking about her…Drama has entered the jungle.
Social media hate
“There are some proper dogs out there,” Dyson says to Matt and Barry about social media abuse.
“Nobody could not like you,” Barry says, astounded that Mia received any hate online.
But sadly, Mia has been a victim of online hate and abuse. She shared that she was dating football players, and a lot of AFL fans sent abuse her way online.
“It went further than my dating life,” she shared that she received death threats, and people left letters at her workplace. Police got involved, but they didn’t figure out who it was. “The last time I got a letter was a few months ago; it’s still happening.”
Food storytime
Luke Bateman kicks off food storytime, raving about his mum’s caramel slice. Deni gushes about her mum’s warm cornbread. Unfortunately, Cyrell confuses Americans with Jamaicans and says that people have cornbread at Thanksgiving. Deni corrects her, and Cyrell doesn’t take it well and refuses to take part.
“You’re boring me, please don’t talk to me,” Cyrell shuts down the food conversation.
The two do come to a tense truce…but who knows for how long.
Elsewhere, Nath and Concetta chat about their insecurities about their looks. Rachel rocks up just as they are having the conversation. She coincidentally gives Concetta so many compliments, and Concetta starts crying because it reminds her she should be kinder to herself.
Challenges and a new celebrity
George arrives and joins Gary in the challenge. They are placed in a see-saw chamber suspended over a river. They have to counterbalance each other while they grab stars for everyone’s dinner. Problem: It’s already wet inside the chamber, so it’s a slippery job. Despite Gary constantly telling George/Georgie to “take it easy”, they fall after four stars, and again after five. On the eighth star, Gary gets it, but falls when trying to return to the centre.
George is in the jungle
George has never camped before and has only ever lived with his family. Never strangers. This will be a journey for him. Deni serves him some cold porridge, and he graciously tastes it and baulks that they don’t even get salt.
However, he reveals that he has “loads” of contraband. Looks like they will have some tasty dinners after all…
Episode 4
Tonight, it’s the first eating trial of the season. But first, who wins the snake counting challenge?…it’s Luke!
So he’s heading back to the main camp, where the other celebrities are cooking up coak for dinner. After he regales the rest with his tales of the Elephant’s Graveyard, one of the rangers arrives and hands Luke a scroll. Turns out, he has to choose someone to replace him in the graveyard. He chooses Gary Sweet!
“There’s going to be some retribution,” Gary says to Barry as he packs his things.
Celebrities share at camp
Barry shares what it was like to grow up on the show with his castmates. And he tells Matt that he dated Marcia (aka Maureen McCormick), and all the other kids did end up dating at some point or another.
Nath opens up about his love for Kylie Minogue. He also shares his coming-out story with Matt.
“It’s very scary… and sometimes before it happens it can be hard,” he says, but it’s better on the other side, he promises.
Deni then discusses the racism she has experienced in her life.
“You can hide your gayness, but I can’t hide my blackness,” she continues. She also says she never experiences racism in Thailand, so she’s not coming back to Australia. Plus, the coffee is cheaper.
The eating challenge
At camp, Julia instructs all the men to sit at one side and the women to sit at the other. Robert tells them they have to choose two from the other side to send to the eating trial. The women choose Dyson and Matt. The men choose Mia and Deni.
Dyson goes first and picks the only 2-star item, which is a lamb’s eyeball and a century egg lollipop. He eats it handily. Deni goes next and eats her crickets without any issues. Mia volunteers to go next and has to eat a mix of “sweets” (one of which includes cow’s urine), she tears up as she eats each sweet. But she does it! Matt goes last and chooses the fizzy rings, which are actually a fuzzy rim or a pig’s anus. He gags as he eats it, but keeps it down.
In the second round, Dyson gets a pig’s testicle, and it’s touch and go, but he manages to swallow it. Deni easily eats her “gummy bears” in seconds to the amazement of everyone. Mia is then served an ox penis. With some encouragement, she eats it. Finally, Matt gets a smashed beetle drink, which he gags his way through. They earn 9/9 stars.
Scavenger hunt
The celebrities are given a scavenger hunt to follow clues to find a guy to free the celebs in the Elephant Graveyard. It’s a relay race, Luke and Barry struggle to find theirs, but the rest make up the time. But then the episode ends with the clock ticking down as Dyson fumbles with the lock.
A new celebrity is arriving on Sunday
The hosts share that there is a new celebrity joining on Sunday night. In the preview, the celebrity says that there has been some “negative” publicity in their world, and they have stayed silent.
“By George,” Julia says in response to the clip. So, we’re 100 per cent behind the theory that it’s George Calombaris. And then a preview for the next episode during Matlock reveals that it is, in fact, George!
Episode 3
Last episode, we left off with Luke deciding who would join him and Cyrell in the Elephant’s Graveyard.
And he chooses Rebekah Elmaloglou, because he says she’s a “good friend” of his. She doesn’t appreciate the sentiment!
He thought it would be a fun adventure…but it’s an uncomfortable, “horrendous”, “nightmare” according to Rebekah. However, when Luke tearfully thanks her for being with him, she changes tune and hugs him. After an uncomfortable night, Luke leads her and him in a meditation, which they giggle their way through. Later on, they have a dance party.
Matt opens up about his past marriage
Back in camp, Matt shares his and his former partner’s IVF journey, his infertility, and opens up about his past relationship. He is the stepfather to his ex-wife, Tammy Hembrow’s, three children, Wolf, Saskia and Posy.
Deni gets the full breakdown of how they met (on social media) and ended up married for only seven months.
He thought their relationship would get better after they married, but he shares that it actually got worse.
“I lost a lot of myself in that relationship,” he shares. “I did love my ex.”
Mia shares her own family drama
After Deni helps Matt relieve a headache by pressing a pressure point, Matt asks Mia about her father, Brendan’s viral “pressure point’ video. This sparks an open discussion about her father’s gambling problem and how their family ended up homeless. Her father went to rehab and built himself and their family back up.
Dyson opens up on the Essendon supplement saga
In 2012, over thirty players from the Essendon Football Club, including Dyson, were found guilty of using banned substances while they were taking part in the club’s supplement program and were banned from playing.
Dyson was early in his career, so he was able to return to the club, but others weren’t so lucky.
Team challenges
Tonight, the “rhino” chooses Matt for the star challenge. He is terrified of heights, and that’s the fear he must overcome. He’s strapped into a harness and stands on a beam that is raised high off the ground.
However, at the second the last star, he falls from the beam, losing one. He gets one last chance to jump for the final star. Matt struggles to jump (he has a phobia of heights, and he was 50 metres in the air after all) and breaks down while still balancing on the beam. He doesn’t take the leap and scores five stars overall.
Over in the Elephant’s Graveyard, Luke, Rebekah, and Cyrell have to put their hands into a box of snakes and guess how many are in there. The closest to the number can leave for camp.
Rebekah tries to hide her discomfort by pretending to be okay, but it manifests in odd noises and facial expressions. Cyrell can barely stand next to the box. She is terrified of snakes. But she manages to push herself to overcome her fear and does it. Luke takes it in his stride.
But we have to wait for the next episode to find out who wins.
Episode 2
In this episode, we learn some truths about the celebrities…
Two new celebrities join
Over in the Elephant Graveyard, two new celebrities enter the jungle: Cyrell Paul, aka MAFS’ Cyclone Cyrell, and Love Island’s Matthew Zukowski. The reality TV stars are isolated in a camp that Matt calls “hell on Earth.”
The two have to go head-to-head in a challenge; the winner goes to the main campsite. The loser has to stay in the graveyard by themselves. They have to wear cones on their heads while bugs pour into them. They then have to transfer them to a bucket. Matt wins, leaving Cyrell alone in the graveyard. But she seems to thrive without him!
Back at camp
“I really love cooking”, Luke shares as he reveals he’s a secret foodie and camp chef. The rest of the celebs appreciate his efforts. Gary Sweet calls his t-bone steak “fabulous.”
He also dives into his TikTok book reviews, read more about it here, and his gambling addiction, which he credits to the culture around football.
“Addiction thrives in secrecy,” he says about why he’s now open about his past. Nath calls him an “onion” and hugs him after opening up.
Concetta and Dyson ask Barry about his life as a child star, and he reveals that it caused some tension within his family. However, his father encouraged modesty and wouldn’t let him get a big ego.
Rachel blows Nath’s mind when she reveals that she is the “Stacy’s Mum” from the 90s hit. She also shares her love history with Rod Stewart, her former husband, whom she married just six months after meeting and with whom they share two children.
Concetta and Nath are selected for the episode’s challenge. They have to climb into a massive washing machine. Nath is strapped down while Concetta collects clothing with stars on. Nath must put them all on. However, Nath gets major motion sickness and needs to tap out. Concetta finishes the challenge herself with 6/10 stars.
It was a whole chicken with head and feet intact, which unsettled some of the celebs. As they’re cooking, newcomer Matthew rocks up and tells his tale of the elephant graveyard and having to leave Cyrell behind.
But there’s a twist: he has to choose one of the celebrities to go to the graveyard. Luke volunteers, but he has to choose another celeb to join him. No one wants to volunteer, so he’s forced to choose…who will he pick? Find out next episode.
Episode 1
The season opens with a bit of theatre from co-hosts Julia and Robert. Julia is heading a meeting with the rangers until she says that Robert is missing. He stumbles in from the bush, and they get the episode and the season started!
First group of celebs revealed
As it’s the first episode of the season, we finally get to meet the contestants. The first group includes New Zealand model and actress, Rachel Hunter, Barry Williams, the eldest son from The Brady Bunch, and Mia Fevola, the daughter of AFL player Brendan Fevola, who won the second season of I’m A Celebrity in 2016.
Mia had a jet ski accident a few years ago and has a panic attack before their task even starts. She has to dive into a water tank while the other two celebs have their heads stuck in boxes with creepy crawlies. However, she rallies and faces her fear, and they score three stars plus a tandem bike to ride back to camp. Where they try and fail to get the fire started!
Second group of celebs revealed
The first celebrity in the second group admits she’s terrified of heights, so of course, the first challenge is the heights. It’s Rebekah Elmaloglou, aka Terese Willis from Neighbours!
She’s soon joined by Luke Bateman, aka rugby romeo, then stand-up comedian, Nath Valvo, who admits he’s afraid of everything, “very overwhelmed” and “petrified.”
Singer Deni Hines is the fourth to arrive. She admits that she is sick of her song, “That Word (L.O.V.E)”, and stops Nate from singing it to her. But maybe she’ll lead the celebrities in a sing-along around the campfire.
Luke digs up a box buried with a phone inside. Rebekah answers, and a pre-recording of Robert and Julia getting some spa treatments is shown. The hosts outline the tasks; if they fail, all the celebs will go hungry for the night. They manage to hold onto their stars while being flung into the air, winning dinner for the camp! Their transport is a bit more comfortable, a mini jeep.
When they get back to camp, Rachel tells the group about herself, including her former relationship with Rod Stewart. Barry is also clearly smitten with the model…
The third group of celebrities revealed
The final group have a grim challenge: being buried alive. First introduced is AFL legend Dyson Heppell, who gives Robert and Julia a hug as soon as he arrives. But his attitude changes when he finds out that he’s going to be buried in a grave to win a star for dinner.
Joining Dyson in the graveyard is Gary Sweet, who was once Julia’s television husband and, as she says, the only “man I’ve truly loved”. Rounding out the celebrities is Triple J radio host Concetta Caristo.
The three are placed in their graves, which are filled with water and dirt, plus the water level is rising. It’s a relay, and Concetta is last. As the water rises, she starts panicking, but Dyson coaches her through her breathing to stay calm. By the time the keys for the locks get to her, he has very little room to manoeuvre and find the keys, nevermind unlock the padlocks. But she makes it!
Back at camp
The celebrities celebrate their success with a shoe-y back at camp, much to the bemusement of American actor, Barry Williams.
Nath and Concetta are selected by Robert and Julia for the next episode’s challenge, and two new celebrities will be joining…who could they be? If you’re keen to guess, you can find all the clues here.
See you next episode for the next recap of I’m a Celeb!
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here is available to watch on 10Play on demand.
