Cream Tea-Gate!
Who knew some jam, scones and cream would cause such a royal fuss in the jungle?
It was Justin and Gino’s turn to attempt the Bushtucker Trial ‘Off Your Trolley’ in last night’s show and let’s just say they didn’t come out smelling of roses…
The pressure was really on to win meals for the camp as on the previous night they shared just one meal between six of them, resulting in some seriously starving celebrities. On reaching the clearing, Gino was beside himself with excitement to see piles of fresh food and offered to conjure up a feast and even invited Ant & Dec along… but the producers had something much more sinister in mind. Justin had to wheel Gino around the ‘supermarket’ in a shopping trolly, and find the stars that were hidden in the rotten foodstuffs - rancid yoghurt and mouldy strawberries, anyone? Poor old Gino ended up covered in cockroaches, rotten fruit, rancid fish, eels, cat food, washing powder and noodles whilst furiously searching for precious stars. Whilst sitting in the trolley loaded with critters and vile food, Gino announced “I’ve got cockroaches in my knickers and something is nipping my willy!” But it was worth it as they won three out of five stars although Gino did return to camp stinking of fish guts.
Kim and Jimmy took part in the Celebrity Chest and won cream teas for the camp. However it wasn’t just the fresh cream that was turning sour in the Australian sun, as when the treat was delivered there were only three scones, so mutiny soon ensued. The five remaining ravenous celebrities downed their microphones and confronted the show’s producers over the lack of scones, incensed there wasn’t enough for each person. At the Bush Telegraph, Gino fumed, “We won a cream tea, this is my ultimatum: I want five scones with jam and cream and I want tea. If I don’t get that I will convince everybody to take the mike off and don’t come here till the end of the day and you know I have the power to do that. I will give you ten minutes to get five scones and five teas down here.” Kim repeated his sentiment, “You are really getting me angry. You don’t go to any restaurant over the whole wide world and they say here’s five for cream tea, share three scones. Don’t be ridiculous, you are being ridiculous well so are we. We want five big scones, plenty of cream and plenty of jam with lots of tea, milk and sugar so we can have a second cup if we want. If we don’t get it we don’t play ball.”
Whilst the producers eventually relented, explaining they didn’t usually cave in to celebrity’s food demands but as they had lost so many Celebrity Chests in this show, they could have a scone each.
The five got the chance to discover just how much weight they had lost during their jungle sojourn. Jimmy had lost the most - 1 stone, 8lbs, the equivalent to almost 11 bags of sugar! Each lost a similar amount and their collective weight lost came in at a whopping 6 stone 12lbs! Gino joked “We’ve lost Katie Price’s boobs!”
Joking aside it was time for someone else to leave, taking the numbers down to four. After 19 days in the jungle, Stuart became the sixth person to be voted out of the jungle. The former Hollyoaks actor said, “It’s a big disappointment because I wanted to make the last three. But now at least I get to see my family and friends.” When quizzed by Ant & Dec about his budding romance with Sabrina he replied “We worked well together. She’s a lovely girl. She’s sexy. We’re the same age bracket.” Wooo! Watch this space people!
