Could The Unthinkable Win The Jungle Battle

Simon Webbe
He left the jungle, after being voted out, and Simon Webbe said, "It's a relief. I didn't think I would last this long."

As another decent, but dull, contestant bites the dust the previously unthinkable is being considered. Could David van Day actually win I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here? A frightening thought but the bookies have now brought him in as second favourite after the 'dead cert', right from the start, Joe Swash.

Joe is rated at 1/3, David 4/1, Martina 15/2 and George 25/1.

Logically George will be voted out tonight and Joe will go on to be crowned King of the Jungle on the final day - but sometimes even the best plans go wrong.

I'm A Celebrity Thoughts Of The Day

As we all no doubt know Robert Kilroy Silk was the first to be voted out of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here last night.

I was surpised but the editing for the show was slanted to favour normally unfavoured contestants. David, for example. The producers obviously want him to stay in for a while and you can see their point.

If we had a group that consisted of the likes of Carly Zucker, Dani Behr and Simon Webbe it would all be deadly dull and uninteresting.


Carly is a nice girl, good to look at, but as dull as ditch water. And what's this rubbish about her being 'stressed' last year because of all of her (his, surely) money. How weak is it to say, "I had a massive house that I couldn't control or clean. It took all day."

She wants a kick up the backside for spouting such garbage. Her boyfriend earns in the region of $80,000 a week. Lots of viewers probably earn less in a year than he does in a day and yet she's stressed!

Why doesn't she get some staff and pay them above the average wage to look after the house? Why doesn't she ... well lots of things, lots of the world needs help.

No wonder that even Lily Allen has slammed the celebrity culture for the wrong influence it has on young people.

So who will be the next to leave the jungle. Logically Brian Paddick but voting is a funny old thing. Just look at what happened with John Sergeant! And, of course, everything is manipulated towards certain celebs and away from others.

Personally I'd like to see the back of Timmy Mallett. He's more annoying than many of the jungle bugs.

Trouble In Paradise As Relatives Fly In

There's been trouble in the I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here camp. One newspaper even said 'Mallett Bashed By WAG.'

Timmy Mallett, understandably, has upset a few of the happy campers, especially Nicola and Carly and the Daily Star wrote, 'Nicola McLean tried to knock him out.' But they are prone to exaggerate to make a 'good' story.

Some of the relatives of the contestants are arriving in Australia for when the evictions start. Layla Manoochehri, was noticeable, she is a member of the X Factor group Girlband and also Simon Webbe's girlfriend. She came with a warning to the jungle girls saying, "Keep your hands off my man."

Nicola McLean Jungle Bikini Moment

Well it had to happen, but much earlier than predicted. Yes ,we've had our very first jungle bikini shower scene. It looks like Nicola McLean is out to outdo Myleene Klass and Gemma Atkinson from previous years. No doubt it's one way to get the male vote, as long as she hasn't peaked too early.

And there will be more focus on Nicola tonight as she takes on Joe Swash for the I Scream Van Bushtucker Trial.

And for female viewers Simon Webbe stripped off for a wash.

So what do we gather from last night's first helping of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!

Firstly Martina Navratilova is going to be a contender for this series, she's not to be messed with. And George Takei might be in his 70's but seems to have a good attitude towards everything.

Looking at the contestants it's hard to pick out who will be sent packing first once the voting starts. Several could make interesting television, including the likes of the opinionated Robert Kilroy-Silk. If I had to pick the first it would probably have to be Esther Rantzen. Nothing ageist, but I can't see her developing into an interesting jungle mate. But it's early days and a lot depends on the editing by the producers.

As for the stomach churning moment so far it must be Esther offering a solution as to how to strain water. She told Robert, "I've got a clean pair of knickers with me."
