RUMBLE IN THE JUNGLE
DUEL OR NO DUEL
I’m A Celeb stars in plot to KO Noel
JUNGLE campmates are plotting to revolt against bossy Noel Edmonds.
The hungry contestants – including John Barrowman and Emily Atack – were infuriated after Noel arrived in camp as emperor and began rudely ordering them about.
CAMPMATES are planning a revolt against bossy Noel Edmonds after his arrival as emperor.
The telly legend managed to infuriate Nick Knowles, John Barrowman, Malique Thompson-Dwyer, Rita Simons and Emily Atack within hours of his introduction.
The tired and hungry celebs are now preparing their own rumble in the Jungle to dethrone him.
Emily even plotted a dirty protest. When Noel ordered her and John to take supplies to his palace, she said: “Shall we s*** on the carpet?”
Outburst
And host Declan Donnelly revealed Rita left her fellow celebrities and even the crew stunned with an off-air outburst about him. He said: “John has already started to crack and Nick’s biting his lip.
“Rita wasn’t happy yesterday down at the trial. It wasn’t in the show tonight, but when we were filming the trial, Rita had a go didn’t she? Noel and Harry were kind of talking among themselves and she went: ‘Weren’t you two listening?’ And we were like: ‘Woah’.”
Noel’s entrance had a huge impact, with more than 100,000 tweets about him during his first show. In last night’s episode he tried a more cuddly approach.
Talking in the Bush Telegraph he said: “There are great people here. I was a little apprehensive they wouldn’t make me feel welcome, but it’s great.”
He added: “I’m so thrilled to meet different people. I used to say how privileged I was doing Deal Or No Deal because I got to meet people I would never meet.”
But he put Nick and James McVey’s noses out of joint by not picking them to get care packages from their loved ones after the Terror Cotta challenge. And he let adviser Harry Redknapp do the dirty work of telling them it was because he thought “they were the strongest in camp”.
Nick was particularly upset at not getting a message from his children, while Noel – who had been in the Jungle little more than 24 hours – got a message from his wife.
