Cerys Matthews and Marc Bannerman Part

I see that Marc Bannerman and Cerys Matthews have now gone their separate ways. You can read the full story here.

They did okay financially though after their I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here stint. It's reported that they made the best part of a million from interviews and pics in the glossy mags.

Marc can't go back to his ex Sarah Matravers as she has found herself a nice millionaire to keep her warm. Serves him right!

For Cerys Matthews fans there is lots of her music stuff here.

Cerys Matthews and Marc Bannerman Meet Up

The cash tills were ringing out for Cerys Matthews and Marc Bannerman as they finally met up again after their so called jungle romance.

And where did they meet? In private where they could talk freely? Of course not. They chose The Sloop Pub in Fishguard for a magazine photoshoot. Who said romance is dead!

And strangly enough The Sloop just happened to be also linked to Cerys Matthews marriage to Seth Riddle. See it gets more romantic every minute.

Cerys had already told a weekend tabloid that she 'wants to take things slowly and spend lots of time with her kids'.

Romance? Huh! Even if there is something between them, this is really all about making money and cashing in on their I'm A Celeb fame. Suppose you can't blame them.

Marc Bannerman Evicted As Girlfriend Flies Home

Well nearly everyone got it wrong! Marc Bannerman was evicted from I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here last night. Lynne Franks and Katie Hopkins survive a little longer.

How come no one seemed to see Marc's eviction in advance? It even fooled the bookies and tabloids.

It must have been because of the fuss Sarah Matravers generated on seeing the latest of the Marc and Cerys Matthews love-in. Sarah has, after all, been with Marc for two years. She flew into Brisbane and then jetted back to London leaving Marc to it. He wants to go straight home and sort things out. Not sure his reception will be too good!

Is he now viewed as the bad guy in all of this? He did say, when talking about Cerys, "Nothing happened between us at all but it's really difficult not to crave a little bit of love." Strewth, he'd only been on the show for 12 days.

Otherwise it was all calm on the I'm A Celeb front. Oh, except for the bust up between Lynne, Janice Dickinson and John Burton Race of course. Please get Lynne out of the jungle - but voting will no doubt cause a few more surprises.

At last it's all getting a bit interesting.

Cerys Wants Marc To Dance Naked Before He Gets Into Her Bed

She's not happy! Marc Bannerman's wife Sarah Matravers, that is.

She said, "I want to march into the jungle, haul her out and say, 'He's mine, get off!' Cerys is a home wrecker."

It's all because Marc and Cerys Matthews flirting is getting hotter in the I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here camp.

Cerys told Marc, "If you can't sleep, right, come and tap me on the shoulder and you can get in my bed."

Marc answered, "So what will you do again? Run that by me again."

Cerys elaborated, "As long as you're naked, come up to my bed, tap on my shoulder, do a dance and then I'll get out. Get your clothes off, stretch, dance round the fire and say, 'I can't sleep on that hammock.' I'll go, 'All right handsome, do us a dance and I'll get in your hammock'. Then you get in my bed and go to sleep."

Marc confided in Jason, "Oh my god. Just makes my heart crumble. Oh..." And then he started to sing, "There may be trouble ahead, but while there's moonlight and music and love and romance."

"Really?" asked Jason.

"Yeah, mate," answered Marc.

So you can see why his wife Sarah might be a little miffed!

Celebrity Grumbles
Celebs including Cerys Matthews and Jason said they would sleep all day unless they got treats to perk them up.

A couple of hours later a box of vitamin drinks was brought into camp. An I'm A Celeb bloke admitted, "It’s not something we do all the time. We just don’t want footage of them lying around asleep. It would be dreadful TV."

John Immune
John Burton Race has won immunity from the first vote after staying in a Land Rover for six hours.

This was a Bush Battle where John, Jason, Gemma Atkinson, and Katie Hopkins had to see who could remain in the vehicle for longest to win the immunity. Katie remained for the second longest time but had to leave because of a call of nature.

I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here Rumbles

Are they just mirages? Jason Brown and Gemma Atkinson that is. The way in which I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here is edited neither of them have imposed their personality on the show. They both look very nice, but it would be good to see a bit more of them actually doing something.

Perhaps it's a tactic. Stay in the background, stay out of trouble and then become King or Queen of the jungle. Time will tell.

Rumour About Richard and Fred
It's reported that the Right Said Fred brothers Richard and Fred Fairbrass have secretly jetted in to Brisbane. They’re staying at the Palazzo Versace hotel until ... well, until they are needed for I'm A Celeb. You may remember they were tipped to be contestants.

Gemma Loves Marcus
It's been let out of the bag that Gemma Atkinson is still smitten by footballer Marcus Bent. She is said to be pining for the Wigan striker while in the jungle.

The necklace she wears (the one with the 'G') is said to be from him, a present for her 23rd birthday.

She's doing okay while she's in I'm A Celeb though as the lingerie brand Ultimo is launching a new Gemma Atkinson swimwear collection. For some reason her specially made bikinis have generated a lot of attention.

Marc and Cerys Saga
Mark Bannerman told Christopher Biggins about what his girlfriend will think of him and Cerys Matthews, "She will be jealous and stuff at home I think or she'll be fretting that I'm about to run off with someone else I think."

But then what does Marc do? He cuddles up cosily with Cerys and tells her, "Well, this is nice darling. Do you miss having a little cuddle? Out in the wilderness. You feel so lonely don't you?"

Is it any wonder that the left at home Sarah Matravers has steam coming out of her ears.

Biggins on Beckham
Biggins knows Victoria and David and he sums them up by telling Rodney Marsh, "I love personally Beckham. I don’t like her. Euch, she’s horrible, the way he conducts himself is fantastic. Exemplary."

Rodney Marsh Sexist!
The albatross that is Rodney has been talking about his views on women. he was talking tongue in cheek, at least in part when he asked, "What has a woman ever invented?"

He followed this up with other searching questions such as: "How many women scientists are there?" and "Would you fly a plane flown by two women?"

His final remark about childbirth didn't exactly endear him to the girls, "I don't think it can be too painful actually. You know when you break a leg playing football that's got to be more painful."

He then backtracked a little and said, "It's a joke. Women have no sense of humour."

Cerys And Marc Plus A Bugged Biggins

So Christopher Biggins was heading for I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here after all. In he walked and straightaway into a Bushtucker trial - fortunately for the other contestants.

The mouthy one, Janice Dickinson, was voted to do the trial but once again chickened out. She talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk.

Biggins did his best and won some food for the camp.

Otherwise what about the looks between Cerys Matthews and Marc Bannerman. No wonder Marc's girlfriend, Sarah Matravers, is getting a bit miffed watching. When talking about I'm A Celeb she said, "So get me in there and I'll throttle him."

She does admit though that, "Marc is a very tactile person and we all enjoy a good flirt."

But is getting together on Cerys's bed just 'being tactile'? The photo below shows them together. It's not over clear but it was night time!

Cerys and Marc Cuddle Up
And did you notice the expression on the face of Cerys when Marc cuddled Katie Hopkins? There's a look of something in her eyes - is she smitten?

Gossip Snippit
A recent snippit overheard in the Jungle:

"I know, what if I walk in the camp naked. Like Eve!"

Who said this? Answer: Janice!

I'm A Celebrity Countdown - 3 Days To Go

3 DAYS TO GO

We should know the full, official I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! some time to today. In the meantime contestants have been arriving in Brisbane, Australia. Some late negotiations are still taking place.

Gemma Atkinson arrived saying, "I'm looking forward to meeting some jungle hunks." She was followed by Jason "J" Brown who reckoned, "Gemma's got some great assets – I'm definitely going to throw myself at anything in there." He also went on to say, "As for Bushtucker Trials, I'm up for anything. I'll give it all a go. I'll have a nibble on a crocodile's nadger – just as long as it's not an elephant's!"

Others already in Brisbane include: Marc Bannerman and John Burton Race.

Anna Ryder Richardson and Katie Hopkins have left the UK and should therefore touch down in Aussie today.

Malcolm McLaren, Janice Dickinson, Cerys Matthews expected in I'm A Celeb

I'm A Celebrity Countdown - 4 Days To Go

4 DAYS TO GO

The grape vine is going mad guessing the I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here line up.

Yesterday we mentioned that Lisa Robertson was an I'm A Celeb possible contestant. The story now is that she has been axed, supposedly because of protests from local Australians. It also seems the bosses think that an ex vice girl could give the programme (and the area) a bad reputation, or something like that. You can read more about Lisa here

The producers supposedly still haven't finalised the line up and a few newer names have been thrown into the melting pot.

The general feeling is that the following may now well be in the line up: Marc Bannerman (ex Eastenders Gianni Di Marco), Janice Dickinson (ex super model), Rodney Marsh (ex England footballer and now football pundit), Anna Ryder Richardson (designer), Jason 'J' Brown (from the band 5ive) plus ones we have previously mentioned: Gemma Atkinson, Katie Hopkins, Malcolm McLaren, Fred (and now perhaps Richard as well) Fairbrass and Koo Stark.

The spies in Australia reckon that Marc Bannerman, Anna Ryder Richardson and Katie Hopkins are already in the country.

The photo below is of Janice Dickinson in her prime. Janice is known as the first supermodel and is now 52 (born February 15, 1955). She claims to have had over 1000 lovers including many celebs such as Warren Beatty, Mick Jagger, Bruce Willis, Jack Nicholson and so on and on.
