"I used to be a celebrity, Get me in there! What kind of a crummy agent are you anyway??" ahem, 2009 Celebrity Jungle thread.

Rumours so far:

Freddie Flintoff, Brian McFadden, Robbie Williams.

(party promoter and fashion journalist) Henry Conway (son of Tory MP Derek Conway. Last year, the pair faced controversy when a newspaper revealed that Henry had been paid £32,000 a year to be his father's research assistant, despite being at university.)

, Joe Bugner, Samantha Fox, Lizzie Cundy (Wag)

Kim Woodburn (out of Kim and Aggie), Bridget Marquardt (Playboy Bunny), Amy Winehouse's dad Mitch

Is this still going????

I've been thinking a lot about Joe Bugner lately. Spooky.

Robbie Williams is a party promoter and fashion journalist? No wonder he hasn't had time to put out a decent record since 2003.

Ah, OK, misread punctuation. Ignore me.

Brian Blessed also rumoured - which I think would make this series essential viewing.

Lizzie Cundy (Wag)

This reads v. different to calling somebody a WAG imo

Pitt the Elder (Whig)

Oh God, Brian Blessed, no thank you. He has horrible feet, you know.

Colin Hendry, apparently?

To graphically demonstrate the impact winning this thing can have on the life of a celebrity, reigning 'King Of The Jungle' Joe Swash was declared bankrupt last week and is currently in panto in Bristol.

Also the one from Misteeq who wasn't Alesha.

Kerry Katona's done alright for herself, oh, wait, no she hasn't. The rest of them get to be roving reporters for The One Show.

Colin Hendry? Really?

Oh, OK, have googled. Camilla Dallerup? She won't be totally fucking annoying at all. Also, Jimmy White.

Kerry Katona's done alright for herself, oh, wait, no she hasn't

Well, she did for a bit.

Then, her fall from grace was only slightly less sharp than GGlit.

Veteran Hollywood actor George Hamilton and former glamour model Samantha Fox are among contestants in this year's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!

They will be joined in the Australian jungle by ex-EastEnder Lucy Benjamin, Strictly Come Dancing's Camilla Dallerup and TV chef Gino D'Acampo.

How Clean Is Your House? star Kim Woodburn is among other contestants.

Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly will again present the ITV1 show, which returns on Sunday.

The line-up is completed by Hollyoaks actor Stuart Manning, Sabrina Washington - a former member of girl band Mis-Teeq alongside Alesha Dixon - and interior designers and partners Colin McAllister and Justin Ryan.

An ITV spokeswoman said: "Katie Price's participation in I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! is speculation."

So, in short:

George Hamilton
Samantha Fox
Lucy Benjamin
Camilla Dallerup
Gino D'Acampo
Kim Woodburn
Stuart Manning
Sabrina Washington
Colin McAllister
Justin Ryan

No Timmy Mallett/David Van Day style jokers then?

This is surely going the way of Big Brother? Can't be much more mileage left in it.

The possibility of some kind of George Hamilton / Kim Woodburn double act is the only reason I'm going to watch this.

Katie Price is the reason I'm not bothered anymore.

Nothing against her, per se, although I never liked her.

It's just when shows start re-enrolling past contestants, the writing be on the wall folks.

Thread ends (prob)

It's going to be doubly boring, because the GBP are going to vote for Katie Price to eat bugs for the next three weeks, and all the other contestants will just fade into the background.

Yesterday's was wall-to-wall Katie, apparently, and the show have had loads of complaints.

Well, she is doing all the trials (I saw a snippet on GMTV where they hauled her out of some tube, shaking really badly)...

Camilla Dallerup out, Joe Bugner in.

Last night's was some of the dullest tv I've ever seen.

I saw a couple of seconds of this last night and I'm CERTAIN that one of the contestants was Jacques Derrida. I'm going to construct my own series in my head now.

I'm a Deconstructivist, What Do You Mean By 'Here'?

Joe Bugner's "dangerous animals are everywhere" speech reminded me of the bit in "Crocodile Dundee 2" where Wally tries to freak out the drug dealers.
This is now more or less "Katie & Friends" with sixty thousand cockroaches added. Tonight, KP climbs up a cliff and sticks her arm into holes filled with spiders, "George Hamilton is excused on medical grounds", etc.. Actually I thought Kim Woodburn came over quite badly when she kept going on and on about KP's alleged shower technique. It's become very predictable and boring very quickly.

OK so now Kim Woodburn is more or less burying her career with a shovel, right?

Couldn't decide if she was naive as to what constant surveillance entails or if she just really fucking hates Aggie.

Personally I'm on Aggie's side.

What did she do?

Told somebody, maybe Justin I don't remember, that she'd barely been able to get thru the last series of How Clean is Your House? on account of how she couldn't stand working with Aggie, and the series was definitely over. Then later on she did a "men should be men and women should be women" speech, then later after that she had a mentalist rant at somebody I think but I wasn't watching then.

I saw the "men should be men" bit onwards...

Hmmm....

She started off trying to whisper discreetly about it but then she just went off on one.

Ha, sounds like "making absolutely sure" innit?

Seen Aggie on some other show recently, no actual "good luck" messages were forthcoming it has to be said.

Model Katie Price quits I'm A Celebrity

[i]Well, she is doing all the trials (I saw a snippet on GMTV where they hauled her out of some tube, shaking really badly)...[i]

Apparently qhz h

Oh okay, sorry, pushed button too fast. She had a panic attack. I could understand: all that shit she's been through in that show. But hey she earns/earned 700 quid per hour. hah

Then later on she did a "men should be men and women should be women" speech

This was hilarious and creepy. Basically revolving around the fact that in the "missionary" (the only one that she seemed to know - hence the funny one liner from Ant (or Dec) later about the Kim Kama Sutra being a book with one picture in it) men use their elbows to hold themselves up, and therefore are stronger. Or heavier. Or something. And lol people who say "I'm sorry" when they say something stupid.

I don't find A&D as hilarious as the TV studio crew there clearly do, but I was LOLing at the "you could text/eat a sandwich/etc. at the same time" gags.

RSPCA needs to man the fuck up imo

...and so next years I'm A Celebrity will be taking place in the Palm House at Kew.

Bush tucker trial = slightly old marshmallows...

I just read about this in the paper. WTF crack is the RSPCA on? Killing a rat is cruelty now? Are they going to arrest everyone with rat traps?

it was a tame rat
