I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here 2022

I'm A Celebrity: Olivia Attwood withdraws on medical grounds.


Olivia Attwood has had to withdraw from this year's I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! after just one day, on medical grounds.

The Love Island star appeared in Sunday's first episode, skydiving out of a helicopter on arrival, alongside fellow contestant, DJ Chris Moyles.

A show spokesman said Attwood had left as a precaution before medics advised it was not safe for her to return.

He said she had been "brilliant" and would be "very much missed".

TV for the brain dead.

Yes. Not exactly challenging televisual viewing... but a couple of beers, unplug your brain, and watch some contrived banter in the post November 5th traditional run up to Christmas.
I will be dipping in and out of it. Sorry.

Matt Hancock says I'm A Celebrity survival is political metaphor..

Former health secretary Matt Hancock has said survival in the I'm a Celebrity… jungle is a "metaphor for the world I work in".

He said appearing on the ITV show was a chance for people to see the "human side of the guy behind the podium".

A newly-released picture shows Hancock in his jungle uniform.

His entrance to camp was teased on Tuesday's episode, and he will join fellow new entrant Seann Walsh on the show from Wednesday night.

The MP, who was UK health secretary during the coronavirus pandemic and often appeared behind a wooden podium during Downing Street news conferences, later told viewers they would "see the real me".

In new quotes released by ITV, Hancock said his phobias include "snakes", adding: "I don't thankfully suffer from claustrophobia -or I think I don't."

He went on: "Lots of people have a view on me from being health secretary in the pandemic dealing with some very difficult issues, but that's not the whole story.

"I am looking forward to throwing myself into it all like I do everything in life. You can't hide anything in the jungle, you see somebody warts and all."

Following his decision to join the series, Hancock had the Tory whip suspended and was criticised for taking part at a time when Parliament is sitting.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak told the Sun he was "very disappointed" in Hancock because "MPs should be working hard for their constituents".

The 44-year-old, who resigned as health secretary last year after breaching Covid social distancing guidance by kissing a colleague, is entering the jungle after spending a period of time in isolation.

Hancock, who is still the MP for West Suffolk, has been given access to a laptop during his isolation, allowing him to continue working and to stay in touch with constituents.

His entrance follows the departure of former Love Island contestant Olivia Attwood, who said she was "heartbroken" to leave after doctors advised her against continuing on medical grounds.

Walsh, the other new campmate, is best known for his controversial appearance on Strictly Come Dancing, which saw him break up with his then-girlfriend after he was pictured kissing his pro dance partner Katya Jones.

I think, a somewhat elastic interpretation of the term "celebrity", is being applied here.
I`ve only ever heard of Nos 2, 5 and 8.

Hilda Ogden was still in primary school, last time I watched the program.

Only in the hope that they swap shirts at full time.
