I'm A Celebrity Gossip

So Nicola McLean is under the impression that a lesbian style fling in the jungle wouldn't mean that she is being unfaithful to her boyfriend Tommy Williams. She may just be disappointed when she discovers that Martina Navratilova is the only fully fledged lesbian.

Nicola says that she would never cheat on her Tom and can easily handle going without sex for a few weeks as she once did so for 12 months.

Nicola's main worry is that she will lose weight while on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here and that her boobs will shrink from their 32G size. Most celebs lose at least a stone while on the show.

It is said that David Van Day, the Dollar singer, is in Australia and may be sent into the jungle after the initial ten are settled. We mentioned him as an I'm A Celeb possible a while back.

Joe Swash is the bookies favourite at the moment but a better impression will be gained as to what these 'celebrities' are really like after the show kicks off.

Brian Paddick has said that he's in the running to become a Lord! Perhaps the jungle will scupper his chances. What on earth is he doing on the show anyway? He's an ex-copper not a celeb.

Nicola McLean and Carly Zucker Rumble In The Jungle

There's a rumble in the jungle before I'm A Celeb has even started, and it's about money - now there's a surprise.

Nicola McLean has found out that her £7,500 ($12,750) wage is a mere pittance to what Dani Behr is getting. Dani is receiving £40,000 ($79,900).

Nicola is non to pleased, well actually she's furious and very jealous. Of course the thing is that she agreed to the contract a while back so hard cheddar. She's not exactly a big name and actually admitted, "Yes, I know I'm not a celebrity." See Introducing Nicola McLean.

There is obviously a range of salaries for the celebs based on what the producers see as their worth. Examples: Carly Zucker is on £10,000, Martina Navratilova £30,000, Esther Rantzen £25,000, Robert Kilroy Silk £15,000 and George Takei £20,000.

It seems that Carly Zucker sided with Nicola and had to be persuaded to stay. The producers emphasised how the I'm A Celeb exposure could possibly land her many lucrative deals. And surely this is why these celebs go on the show in the first place. They've seen what it's done for others.

There are topless photos of Nicola McLean on CelebTease,com - over 18's only.

Celebrity Carly Zucker

Carly Zucker
What is a celebrity? Is Carly Zucker one for example?

I suppose being an I'm a Celeb contestant suddenly makes you one, even if you weren't previously.

Carly Zucker is a Fitness Instructor plus, of course, a WAG. She is engaged to Chelsea footballer Joe Cole and flashes a £50,000 ring. They are planning to marry in the summer of 2009.

She should be fit enough for the I'm A Celeb trials. She described her normal fitness regime:

"I walk the dogs every day. Joe and I enjoy doing that together. I probably do four gym sessions a week, 45 minutes to an hour each. I do free weights and cardio or core work. I eat sugar and I eat fat. I'm not on a particular diet. I just try to eat healthy natural British products rather than processed."

Why does she want to do I'm A Celeb?

When asked she replied, "Joe was keen for me to do the show. He's quite excited about everything. We've always said that as soon as he retires one of the things we'd like to do is go on safari and go and do bungee jumps and all crazy things that he can't do while he's a professional athlete. So I think by me doing this he's sort of living his part of his dream early by me doing it."

Maybe she should also have added, "To become a celebrity." Becoming the Queen of the Jungle could propel her to new heights - in more ways than one.

Carly reckons, "The public are going to realise I’m happy-go-lucky, relaxed, kind hearted and a people person really. But I’m not a typical girlie girl, I’m a dare devil."

She's already taking like a celeb - but we the public will draw our own conclusions in due course.

One I'm A Celebrity Drop Out Plus Danni Behr

The gossip is that Jimmy Pursey has pulled out of I'm A Celebrity Get me Out Of Here before it's even started. It seems he didn't like being stereotyped as a trouble making punk.

Another name mentioned, in additon to those mentioned in the previous post, as heading for the jungle is Dani Behr (also aka Danni/Danny Behr). Guess she needs a career boost.

The producers like to cause speculation to boost the publicity for the show and there are often a few red herrings thrown out.
