Chris Moyles gives sneak peek of his isolation down under

Chris Moyles has shared a sneak peek of the I’m A Celebrity isolation accommodation in Australia.

He revealed it in a video message he recorded for his Radio X listeners:

Meanwhile, Vernon Kay appearing on Radio X Breakfast revealed, when he was a contestant, he and fellow ‘I’m A Celeb’ campmates sang songs by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones while having “controversial” conversations so they couldn’t be aired on the show.

He also explained what will be going through campmates heads: “You are so apprehensive because even though you sign up to ‘I’m A Celebrity’, you know what’s coming, you know the boys are gonna take the mickey out of you, you know you’re gonna get covered in garbage. I think the one thing that teases you the most, that gets into your stomach, that gets into your brain is: how am I going to make friends really, really quickly?”

Elsewhere, former contestant, Capital Breakfast’s Roman Kemp shared his experience in the jungle: “The number one thing that people say [to contestants], people always say ‘yeah but is it really as hard as it looks, are they not behind the curtain giving you a cheese sandwich or whatever?’

“It’s worse than what it looks like on TV. It’s worse, it’s so much worse. I remember getting there, and little things that you take for granted, like water. Because you’ve got a water bottle, and I go ‘well where do I fill up my water?’ and they go ‘well you’ve gotta make your water first’. So you’ve got to go down to this little stream, but then you have to boil that water to get rid of all the bad stuff in it, and then basically you’re drinking lukewarm water for the entirety of the thing.

“But it gives you a bad stomach for the first three days, so let me tell you, the dunny is not the place to go for the first three days. […] Realistically, I reckon it’s around 250 calories [that campmates eat a day]. Honestly, I came out looking like an old man!”

On a different note, on LBC’s Tonight with Andrew Marr, former Liberal Democrat MP Lembit Öpik, who appeared on I’m A Celebrity in 2010, defended Hancock’s decision to take part:

It hasn’t even started yet, but there’s a lot to gossip about!!
