9.30PM FRIDAY / JUNE 6
Jan continues to annoy everyone including, it would seem, the great British public! As a result of their public vote she is elected to do her 5th Bushtucker Trial – the much dreaded Bushtucker tasting plate. In this, Scott and Jan are pitted against each other and presented with a series of delicacies which they must eat* in order to win meals for their team mates. On the menu, a witchetty grub smoothie, silk worm and a kangaroo eye, tongue, penis, testicle and anus.
Bon appetite!
In the second of tonight's Trials, camp rivals Scott and Phina compete in What Lurks Beneath. For this challenge, they must swim an underwater course in a croc infested lake, collecting stars along the way. The more stars they collect, the more crocodiles are let into the lake. Which team will end up hungry tonight?
* definition of 'eat' – to chew and swallow.

9.30PM FRIDAY / MAY 30
Hosts Ant and Dec unexpectedly enter the camp and tell the celebrities they are going to be split into two camps. It will be a head to head competition now between boys and girls. The girls head off to their new camp called Snake Rock and continue to bicker as the boys continue to bond and get on well.
The two teams are pitted against each other for the Celebrity Chest challenge. Matt and Scott take on the fiercely competitive Phina and Lauren and get into a scuffle which raises questions as to how far you can go in order to win.
Jan has been voted to do her fourth Bushtucker Trial – Bull in a China Shop. For this, Jan must get three different animals (an ostrich, bull and llama) to walk over plates and break them. Under some plates are stars which represent meals for the camp. She could sure do with some friends and the camp could certainly do with some food so let's hope her rallying skills are up to scratch!

9.30PM FRIDAY / MAY 23
As if the camp isn't crowded enough, two new celebrities are about to join them. They are both long serving soap actors Dean Gaffney (Eastenders) and Malandra Burrows (Emmerdale). The public will vote for who they want to see go in first - and in true I'm A Celebrity style, it won't be a pleasant journey in. Jan Leeming continues to annoy the others with her constant moaning but David Gest offers a distraction with stories about his many famous friends including Michael Jackson (in case we didn't already know!).

9.30PM FRIDAY / MAY 16
It's been only three days since the celebrities gave up their lives of luxury for a camp in the middle of the Australian rainforest, and tempers are already starting to fray. Hunger is beginning to set in and with that, tolerance levels for each other are decreasing. It's only a matter of time before somebody erupts.
Top of the camp's hit list is Jan Leeming (popular BBC newsreader in the 80s and 90s) whose moaning puts new meaning to the term 'whingeing Pom'. Her constant tirade of negativity is grating even the happiest camper but no one more so than Phina Orusche (“Footballer's Wives” / “Nip Tuck”). The two then get paired together for a daily challenge in which they have to find three keys in a huge hay stack. Let the games commence!

The celebrities adjust to life in their very basic jungle camp – with varying degrees of success.
David Gest is the first of the celebrities to be voted for a 'Bushtucker Trial' (a daily challenge to earn food for the camp). His challenge is to collect stars from a tank which progressively fills with water… and a variety of creatures.
Will his short lived but very public marriage to Liza Minnelli have put him in good stead for dealing with such creepy crawlies, and will he return to camp heroic?

9.30PM FRIDAY / MAY 2
An unprecedented hit with British audiences – this unique blend of reality TV, gameshow and celebrity torture has rejuvenated many a career back up to the top of the A List.
Ten celebrities are dropped into the Australian outback for the endurance test of a lifetime.
Plush pads are swapped for a jungle clearing, food is basic rations of rice and water and to earn a half decent meal they will have to undergo some of the most terrifying and stomach churning 'Bushtucker Trials'.
In tonight's episode, half the celebrities arrive at camp via bungee jumping out of a helicopter whilst the others arrive (eventually) via some very unstable canoes.
The celebrities are:
Jason Donovan (singer/actor)
David Gest (TV producer and oddball ex husband of Liza Minelli)
Toby Anstis (TV and radio presenter)
Scott Henshall (Fashion designer)
Matt Willis (member of the band Busted)
Faith Brown (impersonator and comedienne)
Jan Leeming (news reader)
