With a mere four celebs left, there was no designated chef, so they all pitched in. That made a change from earlier in the week when Josie and First Dates’s Fred Sirieix were at loggerheads over meal preparation.
“It was the battle of the chefs,” Josie said in her “exit interview” with Ant and Dec. “I was trying to cook. He’s criticising everything you’re doing”. She and Fred had a “showdown” during which she put manners on him, she added. It must have been quite a ding-dong as ITV didn’t include it in the nightly highlights.
All of that is bad blood under the bridge, however. Final night is almost upon us. Against all expectations, the remaining trio are a Brexiteering politician, a reality star and a retired boxer.
It’s hard to say whether the highly novel line-up is enough to arrest plummeting viewership (ratings fell two million after launch day). But after forcing us to watch Nigel and the gang in their barely-there sparkle pants, I’m A Celebrity has already pushed the “eek!” envelope. Now, all it has to do is deliver a finale to remember.
