Your support makes all the difference.The I’m a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! cast have been busy welcoming their two new campmates to jungle life.
Love Island favourite Maura Higgins and broadcaster Reverend Richard Coles made a dramatic entrance on Thursday’s episode (21 November).
That said, the pair are not quite roughing it like the rest. Instead, they’re being treated to mugs of tea, bubble baths, and fluffy robes – unbenownst to their fellow stars, one of whom Higgins has a surprising and potentially awkward connection with.
Also during the episode, Coleen Rooney opened up about her relationship with Wayne Rooney and appeared to address his “difficult” cheating scandals in the past.
Among this year’s contestants are Coronation Street actor Alan Halsall and Strictly Come Dancing pro Oti Mabuse. Others include McFly singer Danny Jones, Barry McGuigan and Rooney, who is the show’s highest-paid star in its history.
New episodes of I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! air on ITV1 and ITVX every night at 9pm.

Dean was left in tears after tonight’s Trial
Dean was chosen by the public to face the second Bushtucker Trial of the series, “The Sinister Sarcophagus”.
At the Trial area, Ant and Dec introduced him to a mummy figurine that he was then locked into for the duration of the Trial, while having to answer a series of Egypt-related questions. For every one he answered correctly, a star was lowered down for him to release using only his mouth within 30 seconds.
Entering the sarcophagus, he admitted: “This is my worst nightmare because I can’t get out.”
As the Trial kicked off, sand was entered into Dean’s body compartment, reaching his legs, and he was joined by giant mealworms and crickets tipped into his head compartment. After answering two correct questions and successfully releasing the stars, it all got too much for Dean and he shouted the line: “I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!”
When Dean exited, he explained that he couldn’t hack it because he really did not like not being able to move his legs.
The campmates forgave Dean very quickly for only winning two stars for the camp.
“God loves a trier, mate,” said Tulisa.
“When you’re face to face with your fear, it’s a lot. So I felt for him,” added Melvin in the Bush Telegraph.
Poor Dean...
