Steady yourself readers, the telly event of the year kicks off on November 12. Yes! Monday sees the welcome return of 'I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here' (or 'Celebrity Jungle' as we refer to it here at TW Towers).
Last year's King of the Jungle, Matt 'Busted' Willis is set to to present ITV2's spin-off 'Get Me Out Of Here Now' along with long-term girlfriend Emma Griffiths. Let's hope it's a return to the glory days of Mark Durden Smith (son of cuprinoled holiday queen, Judith Chalmers) and Tara Palmer-Tomkinson (celebrity bonkers posh bird)
Last year (while waiting for Matt), Emma was given the full celebrity hotel treatment, staying at the Palazzo Versace Hotel in Queensland.
The Palazzo Versace (one of The Leading Hotels of the World) has 151 rooms, 54 suites, 72 condominiun suites with prices starting at £211 per night for a Superior Room and £1,543 per night for an Imperial Suite.
Alas, according to the Daily Star website today, presenters of the programme do not receive the same perks as the celebrities which means the lovebirds will be forced to slum it in less salubrious accommodation.
Celebrities alleged confirmed to be slumming it this year include:
Paris HiltonKatie HopkinsMalcolm McLarenRichard and Fred Fairbrass- Cerys 'Catatonia' Matthews
- Gemma 'Hollyoaks' Atkinson
- Janice 'ageing supermodel' Dickinson
- Jason '5ive' Brown
- Lynne '80's PR' Franks
- Rodney 'former footballer' Marsh
- Anna Ryder 'decorating' Richardson
- John 'C4 chef' Burton Race
- Marc 'Guiseppe from Eastenders' Bannerman
Ant and Dec also get to stay in the Versace Hotel for the duration of the show apparently. How they must laugh when they get back there each day after filming the celebrities roughing it in the jungle.
That's rough! So there are 'levels' of presenter, with Ant and Dec being the creme de la creme and poor Matt and Emma somewhere down the bottom. Plebsenters, if you will.
