I’ve never heard of half the people named in the two articles below :twisted: , but Carol Thatcher, David Dickinson and Jilly Goolden I regard as ‘good eggs’ :P . The new series of ‘Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here’ begins this coming Sunday (20th November on ITV 1/2). As it only lasts a fortnight – and isn’t dragged out for months like ‘Big Brother’ – it might be worth looking at ‘now and again’.

From - ITV Teletext (page 316 analogue, ), 16.11.2005 at 4.47 am:

The 10 stars heading to the Australian jungle for the fifth ‘I’m a Celebrity Get me out of Here!’ have been revealed.

Journalist Carol Thatcher , 52, has confessed she has not even told her Mother :shock: , that she is to star in the ITV reality show. Among those joining here are wine expert Jilly Goolden , singer Jenny Frost, ex-Eastenders stars Elaine Lordan and Sid Owen and antiques David Dickinson .

ITV Teletext, (page 325 analogue), 16.11.2005 at 4.51 am:

1. ITV bosses have announced the names of the latest 10 celebrities prepared to brave the jungle terrors in I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! The cast of stars includes ex-PM’s daughter Carol Thatcher, singer Jenny Frost and antiques expert David Dickinson.

The celebrities are already said to be at each other’s throats over pay deals for appearing on the two-week show.

2. The journalist Carol Thatcher, pledged not to try to emulate her Mother, promising “I won’t be the Iron Lady junior.” She added “I think she’ll probably be very critical (when she finds out I’m on the programme). I can’t say it’s her sort of show so I might just tell her that I’ve done it when I get back.”

3. The world of TV soaps is well represented in the new series of I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! Two former Eastenders stars, Sid Owen and Elaine Lordan – better known as Ricky Butcher and Lynn Slater :x – will be facing the jungle ordeal. Kimberley Davies, who played Annalise in Neighbours, and Sheree Murphy, who was Emmerdale barmaid Tricia, will bring a touch of glamour.

4. Singer Jenny Frost :?: will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of another former Atomic Kitten star - Kerry Katona – in winning I’m a Celebrity. She is reported to be receiving £100, 000 to appear in the jungle challenge – four times the payments to some of the other contestants.

Two more pop singers – Antony Costa of Blue and veteran heart throb Jimmy Osmond – join Jenny in the jungle.

5. Bronzed antiques expert David Dickinson will have the perfect opportunity to top up his year-round tan on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! Fellow television presenter Jilly Goolden has also signed up, but will have to leave her beloved wines at home as she leaves civilisation behind.

Ant and Dec :evil: return for hosting duties in the fifth series of the ITV ratings winner, which begins on Sunday 20th November, 2005.

6. Producers have warned 10 foolhardy stars they face the most absurd, unusual and horrific set of Bushtucker trials on I’m a Celebrity.

Co-executive producer Richard Cowles said “They can expect things to be a lot tougher than anything they saw in previous years” He said the wildlife in the Australian jungle has “reclaimed its territory” in the year since the fourth series.

Kimberley Davies, who played Annalise in Neighbours, and Sheree Murphy, who was Emmerdale barmaid Tricia, will bring a touch of glamour.
