I’m a Celeb 2023: Nigel Farage surprises Josie with bare behind as two campmates arrive in jungle

I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! is well and truly underway.

The reality series returned to screens on Sunday night (19 November), with the fourth episode of the 2023 season bringing heated arguments, emotional upheaval, grisly challenges and two late arrivals.

During tonight’s episode, Ant and Dec announced that new campmates have arrived in the jungle: sports stars Tony Bellew and Frankie Dettori. Find out everything you need to know about the two new arrivals here.

They will be joining former Ukip and Brexit party MEP Nigel Farage who, following in the footsteps of disgraced politician Matt Hancock last year, is among the stars who have entered the jungle. The controversial politician is competing alongside This Morning’s Josie Gibson, Jamie Lynn Spears, and YouTuber Nella Rose. You can find the full line-up of 2023 campmates here.

In tonight’s episode, Bellew and Dettori will lead campmates in the first group Bushtucker Trial, where they will have to move pigs’ testicles from one end of the assault course to the other – using only their mouths – in a challenge called... “Don’t Drop the Ball”. Yuck!

Meanwhile, during Tuesday’s episode, things got heated between campmates when YouTuber Nella Rose, 26, and First Dates star Fred Sirieix, 51, butted heads after she accused him of treating her like a “little girl” and for making comments that he is old enough to be her dad. Nella became upset following Fred’s comments because her own father died in 2016.

I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! airs Sunday to Friday at 9pm and Saturday at 9.30pm on ITV.

Main camp or winners camp? I know where I’d like to be....

21:46 , Ellie Muir

Sam Thompson screamed “This is sick!” when he realised that the winning camp has been given a new bus to hang out in, as well as new fresh clothes.

Meanwhile, at losers’ camp, Grace Dent and her fellow contestants have realised that they have no proper shower.

And Tony’s review? The pigs’ testicles were ‘salty'

I can’t watch....

21:32 , Ellie Muir

Surely this is the most grisly challenge yet?!

Welcome to “Don’t Drop the Ball”…

21:31 , Ellie Muir

Welcome to “Don’t Drop the Ball”… the game where campmates can only use their mouths to move raw pigs’ testicles from one side of the assault course to the other.

Ant explained: “This is Don’t Drop The Ball. Using only your mouths you have to move the balls from one end of the Scarena over the obstacles to the other end of the Scarena. The first coach to get five balls will be the coach of the Home team. And they’ll go to main camp and enjoy a lovely meal tonight. The loser will be the coach of the Away team.”

Dec added: “You can only move one ball at a time… you may have noticed these are no ordinary balls, these are pigs’ testicles.”

Welcome, Tony and Frankie... and now you have to put pigs’ testicles in your mouths!

21:30 , Ellie Muir

What a lovely welcome!

Here are our new arrivals!

21:27 , Ellie Muir

The two new campmates are professional boxer and Creed star Tony Bellew and legendary jockey Frankie Dettori.

Campmates face ‘locker shocker’ trial

21:18 , Ellie Muir

All of the campmates will be facing the trial together….

Arriving at the new “Scarena” they found out they were to take on the “Locker Shocker Trial”.

Ant explained: “This is Locker Shocker. The rules are very simple; you’ll each be placed inside one of the lockers in front of you. The first five to finish the Trial will form one team. The remaining five will form the other team.

“Inside each locker there are five stars locked to the bottom of the mesh. What you have to do is, using the keys, you’ve got to unlock the stars and then move them up through the mesh maze and out and into the yellow collection slot. But, not every key works. When you’ve collected all five stars, all you’ve got to do is step outside of your locker.”

Dec added: “And be prepared, there might be a few surprises along the way.”

It’s challenge time...

21:10 , Ellie Muir

Welcome to the “Scarena”...

Nigel takes a bath…. and puts on a display

21:07 , Ellie Muir

EastEnders star Danielle Harold walked past and caught sight of his bare behind as he got out of the tub and said to herself: “That’s a sight… for sore eyes.”

Danielle bumped into Josie and said: “I just saw something I never thought I’d see: Nigel’s bare a****”

Josie laughed: “I see it on the first day! Considering he’s nearly 60 it ain’t too bad.”

Danielle replied: “He looks good doesn’t he? Nice little bum.”

Danielle in the Bush Telegraph admitted: “It was the weirdest feeling seeing Nigel Farage’s a**e first thing in the morning.”

Standing together Josie and Danielle said in sync: “Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No… it’s Nigel Farage’s a***!”

One camp becomes two!

21:02 , Ellie Muir

Will Fred and Nella be on the same team? Eeek...

Who are Tony Bellew and Frankie Dettori, the jungle’s newest campmates?

Welcome back to another night in the jungle...

20:57 , Ellie Muir

What’s in store for us tonight?

Well, new arrivals Bellew and Dettori will lead campmates in the first group Bushtucker Trial, where they will have to move pigs’ testicles from one end of the assault course to the other – using only their mouths – in a challenge called... “Don’t Drop the Ball”. Yuck!

Why is Nigel Farage exempt from some Bushtucker Trails?

20:30 , Ellie Muir

In the lead-up to the general election in 2010, Farage suffered a punctured lung, two chipped vertebrae, several fractured ribs and a fractured sternum after the aircraft plunged to earth.

At the time, the controversial politician was the leader of Ukip and was beginning his Brexit campaign to encourage the nation to back the ‘Leave’ campaign to exit the European Union.

In an interview with The Sun, he confirmed that the injuries he has sustained in previous accidents will mean that he is exempt from some of I’m a Celeb’s physical challenges.

Will First Dates’ Fred Sirieix and YouTuber Nella Rose ever reconcile?

19:45 , Ellie Muir

Nella Rose and Fred Sirieix butted heads over a perceived slight about her late father. But could they finally reconcile and thaw out those icy tensions at camp?

In scenes aired on Tuesday’s episode, the online content creator expressed her distaste for a comment the First Dates maître d’ made in reference to his age.

While Sirieix was preparing food for the campmates’ dinner, he batted off compliments that he wasn’t “old” at age 51 by comparing his age to Nella’s. “Yeah, but I’m not 26 anymore, am I? I could be your dad,” he reasoned.

“No, my dad was way older than you,” Rose replied, to which Sirieix stated: “Yeah, but I could still be your dad.”

I’m a Celebrity launch loses two million viewers after ‘Nigel Farage boycott’

06:00 , Ellie Muir

The reality series is an annual ratings winner for ITV, pulling in an average of nine to 11 million viewers throughout each series.

However, the 2023 premiere, which saw a new crop of stars enter Australian jungle, had an audience peak of 7.8 million, and an average of just seven million.

While this makes it the biggest entertainment launch across any channel, it was still down from the peak of 10 million, and average of 9.1 million, who watched the launch episode in November 2022.

Viewers are attributing the dip to the inclusion of controversial ex-politician Nigel Farage.

What did Nella say to Nigel Farage when she confronted him about immigration?

02:00 , Ellie Muir

Nella Rose faced a dilemma when she and Nigel Farage bonded during their first Bushtucker Trial on Monday.

She felt conflicted about this since the controversial politician is known for espousing right-wing views on subjects ranging from immigration and the gender pay gap.

She decided to confront Nigel about it on Wednesday night, asking him: “Let’s get everything out in the open. All the tea is coming out now… apparently you’re anti-immigrant?”

Nigel tried to shrug it off, saying: “If you came with me through South London, you’d be astonished.”

Nella asked: “So everyone hates you for no reason? Not that everyone hates you, that was so bad. Sorry.”

Nigel: “You can disagree with somebody, but to chuck around accusations the way they’ve been chucked around is grossly unfair. Anti-immigrant, right? No, no, all I’ve said is we cannot go on with the numbers coming to Britain that are coming.”

Nella said: “I’m one of the numbers?”

Nigel replied: “So that’s it then, should it be 5 million a year, 10 million… you don’t seem to understand.”

Nella said: “Those immigrants that are coming in, I came in.”

Nigel insisted: “Hang on! Think!”

Nella asked: “What is so wrong about immigrants?”

Nigel said: “Listen. Since 2000, the British population has increased by 10 million. 10 million.”

Nella said: “Good thing, right?”

Nigel replied: “Good thing, unless you want a GP appointment…”

Nella asked: “I’m stopping you getting a GP appointment? You’re not getting an appointment because the NHS is lacking funding. I bet you anything if every single immigrant or from immigrant descent was to leave the UK, all your doctors, go… most of your doctors are Asian right? Most of your nurses are African women, right?

“You want us gone, that’s all I understood.”

Nella said to Nigel: “My main point was that we’ve got into this jungle and I really like you and I want to know why everyone hated you. We don’t have to come to a common ground. You probably like a lot of things that I don’t like. And I probably like a lot of things that you don’t like…we can have these conversations.”

Nigel Farage hints to campmates he could be future PM

Wednesday 22 November 2023 21:34 , Ellie Muir

In a chat with Made in Chelsea star Sam Thompson, controversial politician Nigel Farage was quizzed on his view on the current state of British politics, and whether he would go for being the PM himself.

Sam asked: “Who is your favourite prime minister ever in your lifetime?”

Nigel said: “Really, in my lifetime, two prime ministers who’ve been really strong, who’ve changed the country: one’s Thatcher and one’s Blair. I didn’t like the way Blair changed the country at all but I have to admit he was a strong leader. Margaret was a very strong leader. They were tough times, but she changed the country completely.”

EastEnders star Danielle Harold then asked Nigel: “Would you ever want to run?”

Nigel didn’t rule it out, stating: “I don’t know. We’ll see. Depends how much of a mess the country gets in. I honestly don’t know. It’s not an easy job.”

Speaking to Bush Telegraph, Farage said: “Never say never...”

Jamie finally has a swing in her step!

Jamie Lynn admitted her campmates wouldn’t have expected her to get all 10 stars saying.

“I think they were saying, ‘You’re going to do it’ but thinking, ‘No way, she’s been crying for five days straight, it ain’t happening’ so I’m really, really happy that I get to come back and bring them the joyous 10 stars.”

She added: “I might cry a lot but I can come and do this.”

Jamie Lynn Spears is making light work out of the sky-high challenge up to 90ft in the air. She has encountered green ants and all sorts of creepy crawlies.

Ant exclaimed: “Look at that, she’s rapid! She’s not bothered!”

As she tackled a see-saw mid-way through, Dec added: “Light on her feet!”

Could she surprise her campmates and win all of the stars?

Go on Jamie...

Wednesday 22 November 2023 21:19 , Ellie Muir

Dec explained: “You have to climb from the bottom to the top of that rig, collecting the stars as you go. Every time you unclip a star, you clip it to yourself. Each star you collect is worth a meal for camp. You’ve got 10 minutes to make your way up there. You can expect a few surprises along the way.”

Jamie Lynn insisted: “I want to do the trial.”

Ant joked: “You can say, ‘No thanks, y’all!’”

‘If Jamie left yesterday, I would have been right behind her,’ says Nella as she threatens quitting the show

Wednesday 22 November 2023 21:15 , Ellie Muir

YouTuber Nella Rose told food writer Grace Dent that she doesn’t usually follow through with things, suggesting that this mentality might influence whether she decides to stay in the I’m a Celeb jungle…

Nella told Grace: “I’ve never, ever in my life started something and finished it. Ever. I always quit, or I always sign on short term or if I don’t like it I can leave… this is the one thing I said I’m going to try and stick it through but I can already see myself… if I get in my head too much…”

Grace asked: “Do you bolt, you run the minute things start to pick up?”

Nella said: “When I was younger I was put in a lot of situations that I had no control over. I was sad and miserable. So now that I have the control over my happiness and the things I want to do I think I’m kind of, I’ve become obsessed with it: ‘Oh, you don’t have to do this if you don’t want to.’”

Nella then told Bush Telegraph that whenever she feels uncomfortable or sad, she tends to run away from her problems.

Nella told Grace: “I used to have so much discipline but that was when I was in a bad space. Lack of self discipline got me from a size 12 to a size 20. Literally my dad passed, I locked myself in the house for two months, I drank every single day and ate every single day and I gained it all and it was pandemic.”

Nella admitted: “If Jamie left yesterday I would have been right behind her… I’m leaving. I just don’t want to be the first.”

Jamie Lynn Spears has been voted by the public to take part in the third Bushtucker Trial of the series: the “Clime of Cruelty”.

The actor will have to collect stars for camp as she takes on a sky-high trial.

In last night’s episode, Lynn Spears begged to go home to her children as she lost out on winning her luxury item: a framed picture of her two daughters. The Zoey 101 star has had an emotional few days as she’s grappled with homesickness. But campmates, including reality TV star Sam Thompson and JLS’s Marvin Humes, have tried to cheer her up by serenading her and giving her several pep talks.

Nella Rose and Fred Sirieix have butted heads on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here over a perceived slight about her late father.

In scenes aired on Tuesday’s episode, the online content creator expressed her distaste for a comment the First Dates maître d’ made in reference to his age.

While Sirieix was preparing food for the campmates’ dinner, he batted off compliments that he wasn’t “old” at age 51 by comparing his age to Nella’s. “Yeah, but I’m not 26 anymore, am I? I could be your dad,” he reasoned.

Watch as Nella Rose and Fred Sirieix clash over father comment

Wednesday 22 November 2023 01:01 , Ellie Muir

First Dates star Fred Sirieix, 51, upset YouTuber Nella Rose, 26, after saying that he is old enough to be her dad.

In the Bush Telegraph, Nella explained: “Last night after dinner Fred made a comment about him basically how he could be my dad. I took offence to that because one of the first conversations we had together was me opening up about the fact that my dad’s passed away.”

She continued: “I didn’t say anything about it last night because I was kind of just annoyed about it. So I slept on it and I kind of thought about it and I was just like, this is not the kind of person I want to be around.”

Nella decides to ignore Fred during breakfast to make a point, before asking him to ‘leave’ her alone.

Fred realised he had upset Nella and asked her what he had done.

Nella explained he’d made a comment the day before, saying: “You know that my mum’s dead, and you know that my dad’s dead. You know that, right? I’ve come to find out that every time I wanna get creative around the fire, or I want to have something my way, my own food that I am entitled to, my way, you tend to get an attitude, right?”

Fred replied: “I am so sorry. Can I just say? First of all, I am sorry I’ve offended you. I am unaware that you felt offended. I am unaware that what I said would lead to this conversation, I only said that in a way because I am older than you, I am 51 and you’re 26.”

Nella said back: “I’m not stupid, you’re not going to little girl me, you’re not.”

Nella said she had accepted his apology but concluded that the pair should not be friends.

He said that their first date was at McDonald’s car park in Wembley.

Emotions were running high last night when Jamie Lynn Spears broke down in tears and confessed she was missing her children. But that wasn’t for long: JLS star Marvin Humes was there to serenade her and cheer her up again.

I’m a Celeb lost another million viewers in Monday’s second episode

Tuesday 21 November 2023 16:45 , Ellie Muir

The launch episode of I’m a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! lost a staggering two million viewers on last year.

The reality series is an annual ratings winner for ITV, pulling in an average of nine to 11 million viewers throughout each series.

However, the 2023 premiere, which saw a new crop of stars enter the Australian jungle, had an audience peak of 7.8 million, and an average of just seven million.

Now, it seems that the show is losing even more viewers. According to viewing figures for Monday night’s second episode with an average, there was an average of 6.1 million viewers tuning in, which is almost one million lower than Sunday’s launch episode. It is standard for the show to experience a drop in viewers after its launch episode – but does this mean “#BoycottImACelebrity” is having an impact on viewing figures?
