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.

Coleen Rooney appeared to address her husband’s infidelity on tonight’s episode of I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!

The TV personality, 38, has been married to the former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney since 2008 and the couple share four sons: Kai, 13, Klay, 10, Kit, seven, and Cass, five.

Wayne has had several public foibles during the couple’s 16 years of marriage. In 2010, it was reported that he cheated on Coleen with two sex workers while she was pregnant with their first child. Read more below:

Richard and Maura will also be “joining” Dean and Danny at the trial! Whether that means they’ll be partaking or not remains to be seen...

Plot twist! It’ll be Dean AND Danny facing Highstreet of Horrors in tomorrow night’s episode.

Wild boar fillet? That doesn’t sound so bad!

It’s safe to say that Maura and the Rev have everyone fooled!

Annabel Nugent21 November 2024 22:23

Aw, good friends!

Quickly Maura and the Reverend have to hide away their big double bed as their worse-off campmates deliver the rickety one that they’ve sacrificed out of the goodness of their hearts.

“I never knew being evil was so much fun,” says the Rev.

The truth comes out... it was Melvin who gave Tulisa the packet of salt at the hopes of having just one seasoned meal.

The web of lies continues...

Annabel Nugent21 November 2024 22:15

More contraband?! Tulisa is declaring something, too – a packet of salt!
