Rodney kicks off sexism debate
Rodney has stirred up trouble in the camp by starting a debate on men versus women.
Asked how he found his time in the treehouse with Lynne, the football pundit revealed: “It was interesting. She’s a very, very powerful woman. She believes that women should be paid as much as men and that women are equal to men, and my point was what a woman has ever invented, as an example?”
Janice suggested Marie Curie, but no-one could remember if she had invented anything.
Rodney continued: “All I’m saying is, you can’t compare women and men if women don’t do anything of that level. I mean women are great in other levels. I’m semi-serious... How many women scientists are there that you know of?”
Janice suggested, “Louis Pasteur”, prompting Rodney to respond: “He’s a man.”
“Louis Pasteur’s wife was right there with him. She helped him,” Janice insisted.
Rodney soon cranked up the debate to another level by posing the question: “Would you fly on a plane flown by two women?” He joked: "They would be putting their lipstick on in the wing mirror and all that.”
Janice clapped, but Anna warned him: “Do you know how many women’s votes you just lost with that chat?”
However, Rodney insisted that he was winding them up, saying: "That’s why women have no sense of humour either, that’s the thing, it’s a joke, I’m only kidding.”
When Janice pointed out that women give birth, he said: "Yes you do, and you do it very well. I don’t know why you make such a fuss about it but you do... I don’t think it can be too painful actually."
He added: “You know, when you break your leg playing football that’s got to be more painful than giving birth - it’s got to be, hasn’t it?”
John accuses Lynne of being aggressive
A row has broken out between Lynne and John after he accused her of being "bitchy" and "aggressive".
When Janice headed off to compete in her live Bushtucker Trial, Lynne told the campers: "Janice is desperate for me to do a trial. ‘I think you should do it, Lynne’. I mean, I’m happy to do it.”
John told her: “Enough is enough. I’ve done a trial, Katie’s done a trial. She’s a larger than life character.”
He added that seven or eight people had yet to face a challenge, to which Lynne replied: “What you didn’t see on the first day, the reality of what happened - this is not being bitchy or anything... ”
John chipped in: ”When people say 'this is not bitchy', it’s going to be bitchy.”
Lynne continued: “But what happened was, Janice was determined to win it. She got herself all masked up with body paint, she was totally the warrior and when she saw what it was and her instinctive reaction, she just couldn’t hack it because she didn’t know what she was getting into. But what she wasn’t expecting was fish guts and all that stuff.”
Cerys commented, “That’s not bitchy at all”, prompting Lynne to declare that John was the person being bitchy by accusing her of being bitchy about Janice.
John told her: “You’re so aggressive, calm down, calm down.”
Lynne pointed at him, saying: “You are aggressive.” She then added: "Don’t play games with me.”
When she told him to leave her alone, John said: ”Boring. You need to get some energy and do some work and get all that pent-up tension out of your body."
Later, he impersonated her voice to Cerys and Marc, saying: "F**king beached whale, shut up. People like that don’t respect themselves so they’re not going to respect any other people.”
In the Bush Telegraph, Lynne said: “[John] is grumpy. And he can be quite acidic and nasty if you get on the wrong side of him. I don't like him. He’s not as nice as the other guys, put it that way. He's not as gracious and he’s bitchy.”
Marc and Cerys cuddle up in bed
Marc and Cerys have been spending more time together in the I'm A Celebrity... camp.
As the pair washed by the river, he said: “I can see your knickers from here. And the back.”
She assured him that they were clean, to which he replied: “Ah you little sweetheart. You’ve had two washes since you’ve been here. Six days, two washes, one every three days. Brilliant. I’ve had two. You’ve had two, I’ve had two. I’m having a good day today.”
Later, when John and Cerys were making Gemma’s birthday treat, Marc approached her and they danced while she sang 'Tiptoe Through The Tulips'.
They danced again in the evening and Marc later invited her to lie next to him if she had completed all her chores.
“I can’t be caught sleeping on the job,” she joked, as the two contestants snuggled up next to each other.
“I feel a bit flat, a bit tired. I can’t be bothered to listen to everyone,” Marc told her, as they embraced. He then said: "Well this is nice, darlin’. Do you miss having a little cuddle? Out in the wilderness. You feel so lonely, don’t you?"
Cerys joined him on his bed again later, singing an American folk tune to him.
'Celeb' stars to battle for immunity
I'm A Celebrity contestants will battle for immunity from the first eviction in a shock twist.
Each day for the next three days, the contestants will be asked to pick three members of the group who will compete in a Bush Battle, which will test powers of endurance, intelligence and patience. The winner of the challenge will be free from being voted off in Wednesday's elimination. By Tuesday, three Bush Battles will have taken place and so three stars will be immune.
A spokesman told the Daily Star Sunday: "We said right from the first day that we would be throwing lots of shocks and surprises at the celebs to keep them on their toes. And this is another twist to shake things up."
Marc's girl blasts "home-wrecker" Cerys
I'm A Celebrity star Cerys Matthews has been branded a "home-wrecker" by Marc Bannerman's girlfriend.
Actress Sarah Matravers has admitted that she is "absolutely livid" after watching footage of Cerys and Marc flirting and cuddling in the jungle.
"What the hell does Cerys think she's doing? She's going all out to flirt with Marc and she knows he has a girlfriend - of course she does," Sarah told the Sunday Mirror. "If anyone is to be portrayed as anything here, it isn't Marc the love-rat, it's Cerys the home-wrecker. It's a bloody cheek and I'm absolutely livid."
Sarah is due to arrive in Australia today and will stay in a six-star hotel until Marc leaves the jungle.
"The first hint of a snog and that's it. I'll fly home alone, change the locks, cut up his clothes, throw all his stuff out and never speak to him again," she warned. "I have my dignity."
*********
Sorry but it doesn't look like Marc is trying to fight her off, he's leading her on as much as she is him.
