I'm A Celebrity - Get Me Out Of Here 2009

Gail Porter has revealed that she is hoping to star on I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here! next year.

The TV host admitted that she was jealous when she watched this year's contestants living in the Australian outback for the ITV1 reality series.

"I'd love to do that show. To me, it looks like so much fun," Porter explained. "I couldn't think of anything better than camping and facing all those challenges.

"I did an SAS-style camp holiday for Wish You Were Here...? once. It was really tough and I was told I could stay in a hotel each night if I wanted. I was like: 'Screw that, I'm staying in a tent!' It was freezing cold, I got soaked to the bone, I became ill - and I loved every second of it."

She added: "I'd be in my element in the jungle. I wouldn't even mind eating the bugs."

Former EastEnders actor Joe Swash was voted as the show's latest jungle king earlier this month.

I'm a celebrity’s jungle site has become a hot-spot for UFOs.

A paranormal group in Australia claims flying saucers and aliens have been seen there.

Murwillumbah, where the stars camp out, has been visited by strange-shaped aircraft stopping mid-flight and changing direction, said the UFO Research Group for Queensland.

They also claim there have been face-to-face encounters with “strange alien beings” and bright lights and orange balls have been spotted in the sky.

The weirdest discovery was a group of cattle found myster-iously mutilated.

Group member Patricia McDougal, 68, told Hot TV: “There has been lots of activity in the region.

"There are records out there which show that UFOs were seen over Murwillumbah almost 100 years ago.

“We’ve had members who have found their cattle mutilated, with no explanation.

“Some have witnessed bizarre-shaped crafts doing things that no plane could ever do.

“Some folk told us they have met aliens.”

Last year a flying saucer was spotted above the hotel where jungle hosts Ant and Dec, both 33, were staying while filming the show.

Ant and Dec are reportedly facing a £6 million pay cut as recession-hit ITV attempts to make savings of £65 million.

The presenting duo, who host I'm A Celebrity..., told The Mirror that they are bracing themselves for the autumn when their deal is to be revisited.

Ant McPartlin, 33, said: "It's a tough time for everyone right now and our deal is up later this year. Who knows what will happen?

"If we're offered less, so be it. For me it's all about the shows. I just want to make great shows and brilliant programmes and money comes after that."

McPartlin and his co-presenter Dec Donnelly, 34, are expected to start talks in the summer about extending their two-and-a-half-year contract. The pair also host Britain's Got Talent and Saturday Night Takeaway.

Oh help I've lost my hanky to wipe the tears from my glass eye. Poor little tweedle dum and tweedle dee are having to take a pay cut. Instead of flying the celebs out to Australia why not take them up to one of the remote scottish islands or southern Ireland they can still put live rats in a box and eat animal testicals.

But they would not be able to take showers in the nude or in skimpy bikinis as the climate on scottish islands or southern Ireland is not quite the same as in Australia. But, come to think of it, that might not be a bad thing. :lol:

Britain's Got Talent star Susan Boyle is rumoured to be appearing in the next series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

The 48-year-old Scottish singer, dubbed the Hairy Angel, is said to have been lined up as the wild card contestant when the ITV show next airs later this year.

Susan, who has had more than 100million hits on the internet, is in the frame for a role on the hit reality show after hosts Ant and Dec put her name forwards, it has been reported.

Her presence on the show could give the cash-strapped channel a huge boost, appealing to a worldwide audience.

A source told the Daily Star newspaper: 'Susan would be TV gold if she went into the jungle. She's the biggest celebrity of the year so far.

don't think there's anyone in the country who doesn't know who she is.
'Having her in the jungle would be a massive boost, not to mention helping us to attract audiences from around the world.

'Everyone of those millions of people who logged on to the web to see her would go to our website to see what she's doing. If we sold advertising on the clips it would be worth a fortune.'

On top of this, TV bosses are confident Susan would a brilliant contestant in the Australian jungle.

The source added: 'Susan has a great sense of humour which would be great to have in the jungle.

'There's such a fascination in what she's likes and how she acts that I think not only would she do well, but she could actually win.'
The last series of I'm A Celebrity was won by former EastEnders actor Joe Swash.

In the show, celebrity contestants have to live in the Outback and undertake all manner of tasks, such as eating bugs to earn points.

If going on BGT is all that it takes I want to nominate Russell from work. I could do with a break away from him. :rotfl:

SOCCER legend Paul Gascoigne has signed up for I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here.
The ex-England ace is determined to stay off booze so he can appear on the hit ITV1 show in November.

Troubled Gazza, 41, said he is “really excited” about the idea of toughing it out in the Australian jungle. He said: “I’m A Celeb has always been a show I’ve wanted to do one day. I can’t wait.”

Producers of I’m A Celeb, which is hosted by Geordie pals Ant and Dec, had approached troubled Gazza to appear on numerous occasions in the past — but they’ve never been able to strike a deal.

Gazza spoke of his relief at finally conquering his demons. He said: “I’m feeling great. Everything’s going really well.

The fallen soccer hero recently revealed he’d “died” three times when his heart stopped beating while in rehab.

But last month he confirmed he’d been clean from drugs for 15 months and booze-free for four months. He also confessed that his new-found faith in God is helping his recovery. On Tuesday he looked well as he judged the Miss Great Britain Final in London — won by Miss Newcastle Sophie Gradon, 23.

An onlooker at the bash said: “Gazza stuck to energy drinks all night. He was dancing and laughing.”

The former Newcastle player will also be heading to Argentina in the next few weeks to film a celebrity version of hit BBC1 Saturday night show Wipeout.

Meanwhile, Gazza agreed yesterday to play in July for his cancer-hit former manager Sir Bobby Robson, 76, for a charity re-run at Newcastle of England’s 1990 World Cup clash with Germany.

* Gazza's going on I'm A Celeb, Get Me Outta Here, please don't provide him with any alcohol

From The Sun

I hope Gazza is on the road to recovery if he does appear on the show they will have to have a ban on alcohol for all celebs.

I was just thinking what would the producers do if they were to give the contestants alcohol as a reward. Then again I'm sure they can go without alcohol for a couple of weeks.

I can't believe people have signed and it's been released that they're taking part when the series doesn't start until November.

Still say the should save money and change locations from Australia to one or the remote Scottish Islands in the middle of winter camping. Oh Joy. :lol:

Where's the fun in watching them moan about how cold it is? Why not just scare the hell out of them with witchety grubs, snakes, rats and so on :p

It would be a laugh watching them trying to pitch a tent in the blustering wind and rain and they could eat tripe (sheep's belly) haggis (sheep's intenstine's) and black pudding (you don't want to know) washed down with Irn Bru. Talking of which has anyone see the latest advert. Brilliant they do a HSM version and their description of Irn Bru is. "It's Ginger, it's fizzy it's phenomanal" Classic :rotfl:

ITV producers are targeting actor Brian Blessed for the next series of I'm A Celebrity..., say reports.

According to The Sun, the 71-year-old turned down the chance to appear on Hell's Kitchen, but bosses are hopeful that he will enter the jungle later this year.

"Can you imagine Brian in the jungle? He would be TV gold," said a source. "We have approached him and really hope he'll join us."

Blessed, who has appeared on shows such as Blake's 7, Z-Cars and Doctor Who, has also explored jungles in Venezuela, trekked to the North Pole and attempted to climb Mount Everest three times.

Last month, former England footballer Paul 'Gazza' Gascoigne was also linked to the ITV1 reality show.

FOOTBALL legend Paul Gascoigne has been axed from I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! after ITV bosses declared he was “mentally unfit”.
Gazza’s latest blow comes after his new girlfriend revealed he had called her during a massive booze bender and said: “I’m going to kill myself.”

The 42-year-old alcoholic had signed a big-money deal last month to go on I’m A Celeb. But a source said bosses got cold feet following Susan Boyle’s meltdown over Britain’s Got Talent.

The insider added: “Paul Gascoigne was given a psychiatric test to see how he was, but he failed it. It was such a shame considering bosses had been trying to get him on the show for years.

However they realised it was just too much of a risk for him to enter the jungle and be under such intense public scrutiny.”

ITV chiefs are now talking to other ex-footballers to take Gazza’s place in the Aussie jungle in November. He is set to be devastated by the U-turn.

The former England ace said recently: “I’ve always wanted to do I’m A Celeb. I can’t wait.”

But the fallen idol’s girlfriend Emma Kate Dawson, 21, believes Gazza needs help, not publicity. She said he rang her on Wednesday after an all-day booze binge saying he had a knife and wanted to kill himself.

She begged him to reveal his location before Gazza chillingly whispered: “I'm going to do something stupid. I know it.”

Sobbing Emma then spent two hours phoning London hotels in a bid to find him — unaware he had caught a train from the capital to Newcastle.

Yesterday The Sun showed pictures of Gazza — so drunk he could barely walk — being helped off the train by pal Jimmy “Five Bellies” Gardener.

Last night Emma told The Sun: “I don’t believe he actually wants to die, he’s just crying out for help. Enough is enough. He needs sectioning again before it’s too late.”

EastEnders star Kara Tointon is being lined up for the next series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, according to a report.
The actress, best known for her role as Walford's Dawn Swann, was axed from the BBC One soap in March this year. She will film her final scenes later this summer.
Tointon is now said to be keen to take part in ITV1's Celebrity following encouragement from her boyfriend Joe Swash, who won last year's series.
A show insider told the Daily Star: "She's already got a huge fanbase who will love to be able to watch her out of character and being herself in the jungle camp.
"Kara's known for being really sweet and game for a laugh so we think she would be perfect on the show. She's a girly girl and will no doubt struggle with all the creepy-crawlies, but most of the celebrities on the show say that to begin with."
Tointon has also been linked to the forthcoming seventh series of Strictly Come Dancing, which begins in the autumn.

I'M A Celeb bosses are hunting for new presenters for the Get Me Out of Here Now! spin-off after "losing" the usual trio of hosts.
Married couple Matt Willis and Emma Griffiths are stepping down - while Mark Durden-Smith has been axed.

Ex-model Emma, 33, and Matt, 26, fronted the ITV2 show live from Australia for two years.

But they are expecting their first child next week and no longer want to travel.

A Get Me Out Of Here Now! spokesman said: "Matt and Emma will be new parents and won't be going so viewers can expect some exciting new changes." The show's UK-based host Mark Durden-Smith, 40, is out of a job as part of the overhaul.

The source said: "With Matt and Emma going it's a chance to rip up the format and start again. Mark understands and has done a good job over the years."

New faces are now being sought for the spin-off, which airs nightly after the main ITV1 show. Ex-GMTV face Michael Underwood and his girlfriend Angellica Bell are in the frame.

Last year's stars David Van Day and Timmy Mallett have also been punted as a great comedy duo - provided they are banned from singing.

I'm A Celeb...kicks off in November for three weeks.

The Sun

Thank god Mark has been sacked. He does my nut in. He's so unfunny.

Lindsay Lohan may appear as a contestant on I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, according to reports.

Both the UK and US versions of the reality show are reportedly interested in having the actress feature in their next series.

A source told the Sunday Mirror: "Lindsay's the perfect person for a reality show like I'm A Celeb. She's young, fallen and there's an element of tragedy in her life."

The insider added: "Most people who go on the show are in need of a healthy pay cheque and also want to raise their careers from the dead.

"Lindsay is perfect fodder for the show."

Snooker star Jimmy White is rumoured to have joined the lineup for this year's I'm A Celebrity....
According to The Sun, the 47-year-old sports star, who has the nickname 'The Whirlwind', will enter the Australian jungle in November.
"Jimmy is a proper character who has been around the block a few times," said a source. "He will be great value in the jungle as he tells it like it is and isn't afraid to wind people up."
White, who has an MBE, has reached six Snooker World Championship finals, but has never won the title.
Brian Blessed, Sam Fox, Chris Eubank and backpacker Jamie Neale have all been tipped to appear on the ITV1 reality show later this year.

REALITY TV addict Robbie Williams has revealed he wants to appear on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
The singer, 35, is desperate to join the jungle camp and take on stomach-churning bushtucker trials.

He would join a line-up rumoured to include Oliver! star Mark Lester - said to be the dad of Michael Jackson's daughter Paris - footballer Jason Cundy and wife Lizzie, actor Brian Blessed and snooker legend Jimmy White.

Robbie, who wrote his own Big Brother blog and begged bosses not to scrap the show, said: "I really like I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! It'd be fun to go on."

The Angels star, who also told of his love for a documentary about US suburban housewives, added: "I like to see how these shows are constructed, filmed and edited."

He is so fascinated with fly-on-the-wall programmes, he even wants to make one himself - about girlfriend Ayda Field's mum Gwen.

UFO enthusiast Robbie bizarrely said Gwen could have been a sister of alien Mork from 1970s sitcom Mork & Mindy.

He said: "She's like Mork's sister. A really amazing lady. She lives in this beautiful, constructed world of her own. She's a documentary all by herself or better still a reality show that I want to make happen."

Robbie revealed he and US actress Ayda, 30, returned to Britain so any kids they had would not have an American accent.

The pair met in Los Angeles, but now share his £7million mansion in Wiltshire. He said: "I went to LA to find her. Eventually I got very nostalgic about England."

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...Celebrity.html

Robbie would be great viewing although he's maybe a little too well known and famous at the moment. When his career has dried up a bit further in ten years, that would be the right time to go on.

He could always wait until next year and join Daniella Westbrook she will be looking for a new job in the new year and since she hasn't worked since her last stint on EE reality tv may be her only optition.

What is Robbie doing now?
is he making music?

Janice Dickinson has told an American magazine that she will be hosting the next series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

Speaking to Life & Style, the former supermodel said that she is having "fun" working on the programme.

"I'm hosting an I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! UK edition that's like American Idol over there," she claimed. "I start filming in three weeks.

"It is the most fun job I've ever done. I love being in the great outdoors. After all the reality shows that I've done, it's the most fun show ever."

Dickinson added that she is the "queen of reality" as she has been involved in so many programmes.

"I've done five of the hottest reality shows in the world," she said. "I've done America's Next Top Model, Surreal Life, Janice Dickinson Modelling Agency. I did Beauty And The Geek, which is another UK show, and I've done three seasons on I'm A Celebrity.

"So that pretty much makes me the star and queen of reality."

Caroline Flack and Joe Swash have been confirmed as hosts of this year's I'm A Celebrity... spinoff. The show returns in November.

How can you compare the Australian jungle to the Kodak theatre in LA?

Former Westlife star Brian McFadden is rumoured to be in talks for this year's I'm A Celebrity.

According to the Daily Star, the singer, 29, will enter the jungle because he needs to earn money for a legal fight with ex-wife Kerry Katona over custody of their children.

"Brian lost his profile in the UK after leaving Westlife," said a source. "The jungle would be the perfect chance for a comeback.

"The show made Kerry a national treasure. Things haven't been too great lately but the show brought her back from obscurity. It could do the same for Brian."

McFadden currently lives in Australia with his fiancée Delta Goodrem. He is reportedly pursuing custody of his daughters Molly, 8, and Lily-Sue, 6, following allegations that Katona is suffering from drug addiction.

Other celebrities tipped to appear on the ITV1 reality show this year include WAGs Lizzie Cundy and Nicola T, snooker star Jimmy White, former glamour model Sam Fox and Brian Blessed.

Mitch Winehouse is reportedly in talks to appear on the next series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!.

Amy Winehouse's father is excited at the prospect of joining the show, the Daily Star claims.

"Mitch had an interview with ITV and he would absolutely love to go on the show," a source said. "He thinks it would be a great challenge and a lot of fun."

Meanwhile, ITV sources are said to have agreed that Winehouse would be a "fantastic addition" to the programme.

Winehouse, who is planning to release an album soon, is allegedly hoping that his appearance will raise his profile.

However, he will only go on the programme if it fits in with his work schedule and Amy is happy with it.

Other celebrities linked to the show include Brian McFadden, snooker player Jimmy White and model Sam Fox.
