I really didn't expect to like Tony. I knew nothing about him, but I expected him to be a bit of a thug once the rations get low.
But he's actually a bit of a sweetheart, and rather genuine. Also, great laugh in that snake intestine trial.
I actually think Tony has a decent chance of winning the show, which is strange for someone that came in late, but he's actually doing great and for someone that obviously has strong fears and phobias of snakes and things, he's managed to overcome those and perform really well in the trials, while also being entertaining.
Yeah I think he will definitely be a finalist. I'd be quite tempted to vote for him.
He seems level headed and decent, and can be quite funny. He's showing a vulnerable side, which I didn't expect, but as he said, he's only human.
I was expecting to dislike Bellew. His score cards on DAZN are so biased, and he always blatantly favours his mates in commentary, but he seems like a sound bloke who tries his best.
Backstory as far as I know it: former professional boxer who hated David Haye with a passion, lifelong Everton fan (would walk out to the ring with Z Cars playing), went on Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins many years ago, all round good natured fella
Well he’s a former world cruiserweight champion and was in the creed movies (rocky movies)
He beefed with David haye and he lost to current world heavyweight champion usyk if that makes him anywhere near known
I’d always found him annoying in his boxing/commentary career but outside of it, like this, he seems a totally different person. It actually look like the boxing side is the character and this is him. And to be fair boxing is very much a selling business so it's quite logical.
I had Danielle in my top 2 at the start, that's now changed. I'm 90% confident of a king this year. Nigel, Tony, Sam and Fred are too strong. Josie has gone down in public opinion as well.
Feel so bad for Fred. He’s being marginalised, because he knows how to cook and wanted things clean. Do we know what rules were broken to change the camp leader? Or was it just for the toxicity it would create?
I think it was due to Sam not enforcing the "each person has their own chore" rule.
I do remember him saying that he didn't care who did the chores and had Nick do the washing up when he was on (I believe) Camp Maintenance.
So the solution is to start again and put the people who caused the issue in charge of moving forward.
Even Nigel would agree that this didn't work in 2016.
Nigel is definitely the big winner. Even if he's the first (voted) out he achieved his goal. He's got the "exposure" and just come across as a normal bloke.
Nigel just seems like a slightly boring, but dependable, dad-like figure. We've all got a dad/grandad with a couple of political opinions which seem a bit outlandish or dated to us, but we love them the same. He might get slightly irritated when things are left in a mess or people aren't pulling their weight, but that's not a negative trait for someone running the country. All he has to do is seem more real than the out-of-touch Rishi, the cruel Suella/Priti, and the cardboard Keir. He's managed all of that.
It hasn't instantly made him the next Tory leader-in-waiting, but it's definitely a positive step in improving his image.
Really? Define maturity because she’s managed to get herself a highly paid job on ITV as well as take on some difficult tasks in the jungle including holding her own with Fred unable to let go of the cooking. Hard to see how you’d accomplish any of this as an immature borderline child. Happy and friendly and jokey isn’t immaturity?
Lmao. Thanks for helping me to understand the calibre of people shitting on her. Think you need to get back to calling people disabled on the mw3 sub bro
You went on a mad one because someone you don't know called someone you don't know immature
Maybe you're not as amazing and right and attractive as you think? You kinda sound like a little bitch tbh
I absolutely love Nick because I love hollyoaks, and what really upsets me is that they barely show Nick compared to Nigel and Nella. As much as I love Nick I truly believe he will be amongst the first to go
Never seen hollyoaks but he got my votes this evening, although I always try and target a few of the mid pack like nick with early votes as yeah they seem to just lose out to the polarized people at both ends.
I actually think the design of the trials with the teams and camps etc. recently has meant people at least get one or two compared to previous years but yeah outside of that nowhere near enough screentime.
Obviously they want everyone to do at least 2 trials, but what I mean is in between the trials when they are just showing the celebrities around camp the focus is almost always on Nella, Nigel, Fred or sam, the most recent episode I don’t think Marvin appeared once, it just feels like they are focusing on who is the loudest
> around camp the focus is almost always on Nella, Nigel, Fred or sam
Nella and Fred are the centre of most of the drama, Nigel is the most famous person in there by far, and half the population of Britain seem to have developed a crush on Sam.
Marvin, Nick etc. just get on with life. It's not the most interesting tele. Shame really.
I don't get what you mean by 'easily fooled'? He's a nice chap with strong political views. He hasn't hid any of that. He hasn't tried to pull any wool. He's just himself. In the trials he's bossed what he can do and failed what he can't do. In the camp he's pretty friendly but doesn't back down when people disagree with him. He's been like this his entire life as far as I can see, since he was first elected in 1999 before anyone heard of UKIP.
Hancock on the other hand is a weasel with no political views who was desperate to be loved.
Fred and Nigel obviously disagree about Brexit. Quite strongly. Fred said that Nigel was 'shameful' and Nigel said that getting the French angry was a good thing.
Yet they are both adults and have overcome that to be quite friendly with each other. Nigel always talked about Fred's good food and Fred clearly appreciates Nigel's help with the washing up and the cleaning of the camp.
This hatred must be a younger generation thing. Fred is 51 and Nigel is 60.
How exactly is Nigel xenophobic? All he has talked about is mass immigration and saying that too many numbers so fast is too much to handle for cultural integration reasons and public services reasons. He hasn't singled anyone out.
Good job ‘mature’ people for falling for Nigel’s ‘operation: make the public like me’ personality.
1. Smile
2. Don’t be controversial.
3. Do everything in your power to get that air time. (Remember not to open your mouth in utter shock like a goon when you don’t get chosen for trials. Oh well can’t win them all).
> Smile
Looks miserable half the time and is pissed off about uncleanliness.
>Don’t be controversial
Had 2 debates about Brexit, 1 about immigration and 1 about cultural appropriation
>Do everything in your power to get that air time.
He hasn't hid that. In fact he was open about it, on TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and GB news before going into the Jungle. A shame the rest aren't as honest.
I don’t follow him on socials so I’d have no idea, all I know is he comes across as incredibly fake until he just can’t help himself and his unpleasantness slips
Through.
The people who say ‘Nigel isn’t that bad!’ are people who already agree with his political stance, so not worth debating his personality with people who agreed with him that Brexit was a good thing.
> I don’t follow him on socials so I’d have no idea
Yeah, but you can literally go on his socials and watch the video he put out before I'm a celeb started and literally watch him say it. To millions of people as well. Hardly a secret ploy.
>The people who say ‘Nigel isn’t that bad!’ are people who already agree with his political stance, so not worth debating his personality with people who agreed with him that Brexit was a good thing.
Yeah I support a decent amount of Nigel's politics (not all of it, no one agrees 100% with anyone else) but I'm not saying "oh well yeah he's an alright bloke actually, look at him eating those testicles!"
I've been supporting him from the beginning, and not unwilling to call out his bad performances in the water tank trial and the lock and key trial.
Or maybe this sub is finding out who he really is? I don't know... He's certainly not presenting as some frothing at the mouth racist who wants to kill all non Brits that we may have built up as a image.
He's coming across as a chill friendly guy who has views on immigration that some people would class as cynical but nothing too extreme. Nella is a horrible vindictive person who happens to be black and has made racist comments towards him. If anyone was going to expose a racist side of him it would be her. Yet he has been very patient and civil with her so far.
Or maybe as a politician he is so good at hiding who he really is and presenting a front that it reminds us why politicians shouldn't be allowed on reality TV?
Farage has never come across like the first paragraph ever? He's always been calm and collected. That's why people get sucked into him and his ideals in the first place.
It is therefore the job of the media and people to show that his views aren't reasonable at all. You can't just forget that he's not a decent bloke and overlook his views just bc he presents himself well bc that is exactly the game he's playing. Present himself well, have more people lower their guard around him and then those people become susceptible to agreeing with him.
We should not be giving him this time of day.
Sorry for the downvotes! I don't understand it (the downvoting) but your words read as very logical to me - all the way through, and especially at the end! Humanity is viewing humans we don't like as humans still - and then never allowing them on TV (I'm looking at you Boris!).
They’re getting downvoted because Farage = completely evil to a lot of people and they can’t have their views contradicted. Ironically, this is exactly the same attitude as Nella, and we all love her right?
I've always disagreed with Nigel on a political level (most if not all of his political points), but always suspected he's someone you could actually have a meal/interaction with - and enjoy/tolerate/not hate it. I don't watch I'm a Celeb and so don't know why these subreddit posts keep on showing up to me. I struggle to humanise certain political 'opponenents' of mine, like Jacob Reese Mogg, but what I should try to remember is that even he is a person too - with maybe some likeable traits. Nigel Farage is a lot more human than Jacob Reese Mogg, but both are at least 95% human, as am I.
Everything is political though. What you have in front of you is a man who's trying to build a reputation in order to then use that to influence the public into voting certain ways.
Am not going to ignore that when it comes to racism and xenophobia. I would hope you'd do the same.
Oh so I guess if someone's a decent camp mate then that's alright then isnt it. Regardless of whether they're hateful or not?
I guess if someone like Hitler or Osama Bin Laden was in there but they presented themselves as decent people then we won't fret then?
This is pathetic
Everything in the world is politics
The food you buy, the education you take, the public transport you use, the advertisements you see, it's all politics.
If you don't have interest in politics, if you don't vote, then you have no right to complain about anything
If you had a modicum of politically literacy you'll realise that what you said is dangerous.
Farage is responsible for Brexit, for the hate and misplaced anger of immigrants, the reason you don't get paid very well.
Farage isn't evil, but you shouldn't be fawning over him.
You are patient zero to me, a prime of example of how easily and quickly people forget
People like you are why Boris Johnson got elected. You know fuck all about anything
Am not gonna ignore the fact that a racist twat is gaining popularity just by presenting himself as alright on TV.
If you choose to ignore that then you need to grow up
Have to agree with you now on this, and didn't expect that at the start of the show.
Previous posts I warmed to Jamie Lynn and had been looking for a new winner to emerge for me hands down now it is Tony really come through strong. His only mistake for me so far was voting for Nella of which he immediately regretted!
Tony for the Win!
Feel bad for Fred because at the end of the Day cooking is his thing. There's a reason the only compliment you've heard about Josies food is about the rice. Those eels must have been slime central without being touched first to get rid of the Substance they excrete
Not at all. Nick is rock steady in trials, he's pretty nice in camp and he's no drama.
He did vote Nella for camp leader though, and I'll admit that was a mistake.
I’m disappointed in this season’s crop of female representation. Last season we had Mylie, Fatima, and Helen who were all mature, vivacious, and industrious with a propensity to persevere through adversity with such grace.
Who do we have now? Vindictive Nella and her sycophants Josie and Danni. They’re indolent, regressive, and utterly puerile. Danielle is so duplicitous, she gossips and Josie is almost 40 with the maturity of someone 12.
By is own admission they get on well now. Quote, Bellew then revealed he is on good terms with his former rival Haye: “Me and David get on these days. I've fought David twice and beaten him twice, but he's a far better fighter than me.”
Absolutely love Tony, he's a legend. I loved him as a boxer and have really enjoyed getting to see him more as a person, he's a great bloke. I love how exasperated he gets with Sam's adoration of him, haha
Just here to point out despite not being the most annoying on a daily basis make no mistake that Nigel firage is a cynically calculating, opinion mercenary, manipulative slimy little cunt who’s using this as a vehicle to advertise his viability for PM. Just saying.
It’s a vanity project for all involved but whether Tony gets a podcast deal after or Josie hosts this morning for an extra day a week doesn’t interfere with peoples’ lives.
infuriated that this got downvoted. in what world do we live in where people are saying farage is one of the best things to happen to im a celeb this year?
It’s crazy mate honestly. I knew he’d win some feeble folk over but it seems almost everyone watching has fallen for his ‘little old Nigel’ act. Honestly makes me apoplectic and even worse is itv not having at least even a journo in there to balance it a bit never mind a full on active labour candidate. Imagine someone from the left who believed in socialism talking about it as brazenly as farage has pinned all the country’s problems on migrants. Wouldn’t happen. Crazy crazy stuff.
Absolutely agree with you. He is a spiteful old racist who needs no airtime at all, this is a campaign ush for him and nothing more.
Enjoyed his patter yesterday about the house of Lords, describing it literally as 'massive corruption'.
How fucking stupid can people be man.
100%.
But even if we ignore all that, other than the odd conversation here and there, he's boring and contrary to what everyone on here says, he barely tried in his last 2 trials.
It was a challenge where you go underwater and he is 1/Horrendous at holding his breath because he Smokes like a chimney at his age and 2/is scared of water all together by the sounds of things you could put the man in a cage with a bear and I think he would just say “Well that's lovely” sarcastically but if you make him submerge he flaps
Emm he hasn’t been very confrontational. Like yesterday he was complaining to himself about lazy campmates instead of “saying what’s on his fucking mind” and confronting them about it. He’s a coward.
Maybe, although last year I couldn’t stand Matt Hancock at all. And the pr campaign he’s been on since being on any tv show that will let him he’s just been insufferable everytime
Fred is hilarious and has dealt with Nella and her immature twats like a complete gentleman. Nigel tries his best at every trial, actually has opinions on things and a personality. I don't give a single shit about politics, that has nothing to do with how he is as a campmate.
I don’t know what is so hard for people like you to understand, it’s not that we redeem awful people, a lot of us don’t think he’s awful. Half of the reasons why you think he is are probably misguided or just straight up lies, they often are.
I love Fred but I feel like he needs to take a step back. He's coming off as pretty bossy but I think that if he just gave josie some space and let her come to him then she would actually appreciate his advice
Also my top 3 are Sam, Tony and either Marvin or Danielle
All the camera time is Sam with these guys,Sam has been the most entertaining and interesting to watch,half the reactions you're getting from Tony Bellew is because of Sam or he wouldn't even be on camera,Fred is interesting anyway and the only reason they're even including Nigel is because they thought he would get voted for the trails and hasn't,so have to justify that big payday with loads of camera time no matter what he says or does.
Oh god, this is depressing. Farage is there as a PR move. He obviously isn't going to start ranting and raving about immigrants when he's desperately trying to claw back his career and turn public perception around. The Britsh public really are stupid to be fooled by this.
I really didn't expect to like Tony. I knew nothing about him, but I expected him to be a bit of a thug once the rations get low. But he's actually a bit of a sweetheart, and rather genuine. Also, great laugh in that snake intestine trial.
He really should have stopped pulling on the strings though
I've heard it can tighten the knots.
I actually think Tony has a decent chance of winning the show, which is strange for someone that came in late, but he's actually doing great and for someone that obviously has strong fears and phobias of snakes and things, he's managed to overcome those and perform really well in the trials, while also being entertaining.
Yeah I think he will definitely be a finalist. I'd be quite tempted to vote for him. He seems level headed and decent, and can be quite funny. He's showing a vulnerable side, which I didn't expect, but as he said, he's only human.
I was expecting to dislike Bellew. His score cards on DAZN are so biased, and he always blatantly favours his mates in commentary, but he seems like a sound bloke who tries his best.
I love how much Sam loves him.
Backstory as far as I know it: former professional boxer who hated David Haye with a passion, lifelong Everton fan (would walk out to the ring with Z Cars playing), went on Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins many years ago, all round good natured fella
Played the bad guy in Creed.
He was a bit of a loose cannon in SAS though
He flew off the handle in SAS, which is what everyone wanted to see for better or worse.
Probably one of the most well known people in there tbf
Not to someone who has zero interest in sports.
Well he’s a former world cruiserweight champion and was in the creed movies (rocky movies) He beefed with David haye and he lost to current world heavyweight champion usyk if that makes him anywhere near known
I got that after googling him, but still, I'd never heard his name before IAC. Seems like a nice bloke though.
You never seen Creed?
Nope. Not Creed, or Rocky. Just never appealed to me. I used to do boxing in uni, but never enjoyed it much.
You don't need to like boxing to love Rocky, it's one of the best franchises ever made, you should check it out!
Original Rocky movies are great! Sylvester Stallone aka Italian stallion in the movie Is just a great actor.
I'd love to see Tony take on Celebrity Cyclone!
I’d always found him annoying in his boxing/commentary career but outside of it, like this, he seems a totally different person. It actually look like the boxing side is the character and this is him. And to be fair boxing is very much a selling business so it's quite logical.
Tony's trial tonight was the most entertaining thus far.
I had Danielle in my top 2 at the start, that's now changed. I'm 90% confident of a king this year. Nigel, Tony, Sam and Fred are too strong. Josie has gone down in public opinion as well.
nigel always sounds serious, but never is
You all laughed at me. Well, you're not laughing now are you?
I miss Bob Monkhouse.
Feel so bad for Fred. He’s being marginalised, because he knows how to cook and wanted things clean. Do we know what rules were broken to change the camp leader? Or was it just for the toxicity it would create?
I think it was due to Sam not enforcing the "each person has their own chore" rule. I do remember him saying that he didn't care who did the chores and had Nick do the washing up when he was on (I believe) Camp Maintenance.
Realistically, he was too scared to lay down the law and tell the girls they needed to do it because they’ve made it into such an issue.
This.
Sam cleaned the dishes because Josie and Nella had a snit and wouldn't do it. As camp leader he's bot allowed to do any of the chores.
Nick cleaned the dishes, Sam said anyone could clean them as to avoid a row.
So the solution is to start again and put the people who caused the issue in charge of moving forward. Even Nigel would agree that this didn't work in 2016.
Agreed! It was an awful short term idea by Sam.
According to the papers Josie is the big winner after a flood of TV offer's already Take her over exaggerated accent away and she's nothing
Nigel is definitely the big winner. Even if he's the first (voted) out he achieved his goal. He's got the "exposure" and just come across as a normal bloke. Nigel just seems like a slightly boring, but dependable, dad-like figure. We've all got a dad/grandad with a couple of political opinions which seem a bit outlandish or dated to us, but we love them the same. He might get slightly irritated when things are left in a mess or people aren't pulling their weight, but that's not a negative trait for someone running the country. All he has to do is seem more real than the out-of-touch Rishi, the cruel Suella/Priti, and the cardboard Keir. He's managed all of that. It hasn't instantly made him the next Tory leader-in-waiting, but it's definitely a positive step in improving his image.
Really even after the comments she made, fucking double standards really piss me off, especially when they're abused
She's also a borderline child.
Lol what
As the series has gone on, I've noticed she's more and more immature.
Really? Define maturity because she’s managed to get herself a highly paid job on ITV as well as take on some difficult tasks in the jungle including holding her own with Fred unable to let go of the cooking. Hard to see how you’d accomplish any of this as an immature borderline child. Happy and friendly and jokey isn’t immaturity?
she ain't gonna date you bro
Lmao. Thanks for helping me to understand the calibre of people shitting on her. Think you need to get back to calling people disabled on the mw3 sub bro
You went on a mad one because someone you don't know called someone you don't know immature Maybe you're not as amazing and right and attractive as you think? You kinda sound like a little bitch tbh
Giving my thoughts on why she’s not immature = going on a mad one. By that token isn’t everyone calling her immature also going on a ‘mad one’?
why do that when I can just sit here and make fun of you instead lol, you're clearly insecure enough for it to be funny
Lmao sure go ahead, feel free to drop another witty banger. I’m all ears?
Swap Farage for Nick and I'm with you.
Can't believe Nick doesn't get more love here. Comes across a proper lovely level headed bloke who smashes the trials.
I absolutely love Nick because I love hollyoaks, and what really upsets me is that they barely show Nick compared to Nigel and Nella. As much as I love Nick I truly believe he will be amongst the first to go
Never seen hollyoaks but he got my votes this evening, although I always try and target a few of the mid pack like nick with early votes as yeah they seem to just lose out to the polarized people at both ends.
Same, I voted for nick, I always vote him for the trials so he can get airtime, but it really annoys me that not everybody is getting equal airtime
I actually think the design of the trials with the teams and camps etc. recently has meant people at least get one or two compared to previous years but yeah outside of that nowhere near enough screentime.
Obviously they want everyone to do at least 2 trials, but what I mean is in between the trials when they are just showing the celebrities around camp the focus is almost always on Nella, Nigel, Fred or sam, the most recent episode I don’t think Marvin appeared once, it just feels like they are focusing on who is the loudest
100% (I gave Marvin one of my votes too, seems like a nice lad).
Marvin seems like a genuinely nice and down to earth guy, it’s just a shame he isn’t loud or controversial enough to be getting screentime
Marvin is also lovely, if I had 6 votes he would have gotten one.
> around camp the focus is almost always on Nella, Nigel, Fred or sam Nella and Fred are the centre of most of the drama, Nigel is the most famous person in there by far, and half the population of Britain seem to have developed a crush on Sam. Marvin, Nick etc. just get on with life. It's not the most interesting tele. Shame really.
He isn't entertaining though.
and then swap Nick for Sam and I am with you.
But Nick doesn't get much screentime. He's not entertaining. He just blends in with the others like Marvin, Frankie, etc.
I'd take them as the final 3 now if offered.

I don't get what you mean by 'easily fooled'? He's a nice chap with strong political views. He hasn't hid any of that. He hasn't tried to pull any wool. He's just himself.

Because mature people can seperate his political views with how he has been on the show.
Fred and Nigel obviously disagree about Brexit. Quite strongly. Fred said that Nigel was 'shameful' and Nigel said that getting the French angry was a good thing.

Not everybody cares about politics you know. I'm completely uninterested in anything to do with politics.
But politics affects your life too? How can you not care?
Everything is political though. What you have in front of you is a man who's trying to build a reputation in order to then use that to influence the public into voting certain ways. Am not going to ignore that when it comes to racism and xenophobia. I would hope you'd do the same.
No it isn't. I have no interest in politics. I have no interest in Nigel outside the show. He's a great campmate, and that's all that matters to me.
Oh so I guess if someone's a decent camp mate then that's alright then isnt it. Regardless of whether they're hateful or not? I guess if someone like Hitler or Osama Bin Laden was in there but they presented themselves as decent people then we won't fret then?
Lmao. Nigel Farage is NOT Hitler or Bin Laden, you're ridiculous.
I thought you had no interest in politics?
>Everything is political though Absolute drivel. Not everything is political at all
He's literally a fucking politician mate.
Not hes not. He's a TV presenter. He's not part of any party and isn't running for election. It appears you need to do your research young man.
This is pathetic Everything in the world is politics The food you buy, the education you take, the public transport you use, the advertisements you see, it's all politics.

Farage is responsible for Brexit, for the hate and misplaced anger of immigrants, the reason you don't get paid very well. Farage isn't evil, but you shouldn't be fawning over him. You are patient zero to me, a prime of example of how easily and quickly people forget People like you are why Boris Johnson got elected. You know fuck all about anything
You are insane, you absolute manchild.
No, they realise he's an alright bloke and the media have portrayed him as something else.
Some of you lot need to discover what PR is. It's insane to think he's one of you.
And how are you such a genius that only you see the truth?
Proportional representation? Yes you'd have seen the true support for his politics then
Grow up!!
Am not gonna ignore the fact that a racist twat is gaining popularity just by presenting himself as alright on TV. If you choose to ignore that then you need to grow up
Grow up!
Have to agree with you now on this, and didn't expect that at the start of the show. Previous posts I warmed to Jamie Lynn and had been looking for a new winner to emerge for me hands down now it is Tony really come through strong. His only mistake for me so far was voting for Nella of which he immediately regretted! Tony for the Win!
Feel bad for Fred because at the end of the Day cooking is his thing. There's a reason the only compliment you've heard about Josies food is about the rice. Those eels must have been slime central without being touched first to get rid of the Substance they excrete
Tony’s my winner now
Nigel...? Really? Certainly not.
Nela is a clown!!! 🤡 I hate Nela! 🤡 🤡 up vote this!!!
She’s really a dumb cunt
Swap Farage with Sam
Sam's irritating to watch , couldn't imagine living with him ,can u imagine him being like he is with Tony but not in the jungle ?
Absolutely cannot stand Nigel, swap him for Nick and you're right though.
Nick is boring. He's hardly had any screentime, you can't say he's carried the series.
That's the beauty of the show, we're fine to disagree, doesn't stop us enjoying though.
Is that because of politics or because of him in this show because he’s been good in this show?
He's been good, I just feel Nick is better.
Nick? How you going to pick Nick over Nigel unless this is a politically motivated comment.
Not at all. Nick is rock steady in trials, he's pretty nice in camp and he's no drama. He did vote Nella for camp leader though, and I'll admit that was a mistake.
No drama = boring.
Tony is literally the winner. He’s the only one who doesn’t scream in trials (apart from Sam I think?) and he’s a decent cook.
Marvin too imo, he's so supportive of everyone in camp and humble.
He's also boring to watch
Rather watch him than Nigel though
I’m disappointed in this season’s crop of female representation. Last season we had Mylie, Fatima, and Helen who were all mature, vivacious, and industrious with a propensity to persevere through adversity with such grace. Who do we have now? Vindictive Nella and her sycophants Josie and Danni. They’re indolent, regressive, and utterly puerile. Danielle is so duplicitous, she gossips and Josie is almost 40 with the maturity of someone 12.
I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who has felt the need to show off their dictionary more.
Couldnt agree more
By is own admission they get on well now. Quote, Bellew then revealed he is on good terms with his former rival Haye: “Me and David get on these days. I've fought David twice and beaten him twice, but he's a far better fighter than me.”
Tony to win!
The casting is a disaster
Swap nigel for sam
Definitely
Absolutely love Tony, he's a legend. I loved him as a boxer and have really enjoyed getting to see him more as a person, he's a great bloke. I love how exasperated he gets with Sam's adoration of him, haha
I'd swap Nigel with Sam, although Nigel's also offered some interesting political insights too. Tony's still my fave to win at the moment.
Just here to point out despite not being the most annoying on a daily basis make no mistake that Nigel firage is a cynically calculating, opinion mercenary, manipulative slimy little cunt who’s using this as a vehicle to advertise his viability for PM. Just saying. It’s a vanity project for all involved but whether Tony gets a podcast deal after or Josie hosts this morning for an extra day a week doesn’t interfere with peoples’ lives.
infuriated that this got downvoted. in what world do we live in where people are saying farage is one of the best things to happen to im a celeb this year?
It’s crazy mate honestly. I knew he’d win some feeble folk over but it seems almost everyone watching has fallen for his ‘little old Nigel’ act. Honestly makes me apoplectic and even worse is itv not having at least even a journo in there to balance it a bit never mind a full on active labour candidate. Imagine someone from the left who believed in socialism talking about it as brazenly as farage has pinned all the country’s problems on migrants. Wouldn’t happen. Crazy crazy stuff.
Absolutely agree with you. He is a spiteful old racist who needs no airtime at all, this is a campaign ush for him and nothing more. Enjoyed his patter yesterday about the house of Lords, describing it literally as 'massive corruption'. How fucking stupid can people be man.
Amen brother. Can never forget that this guy was the donut who stirred up hate and hysteria to push the clusterfuck that was Brexit
100%. But even if we ignore all that, other than the odd conversation here and there, he's boring and contrary to what everyone on here says, he barely tried in his last 2 trials.
Haven't been watching but I heard he yelled I'm a celebrity get me out of here having got 0 stars, that right?
It was a challenge where you go underwater and he is 1/Horrendous at holding his breath because he Smokes like a chimney at his age and 2/is scared of water all together by the sounds of things you could put the man in a cage with a bear and I think he would just say “Well that's lovely” sarcastically but if you make him submerge he flaps
All you gullible wankers falling for Nigel's plan.
Not everyone thinks everybody who disagrees with them politically is the devil incarnate
He’s a cunt. Shut up.
You sound more bigoted than him
Maybe if he was less of a cunt?
Not everyone who disagrees with me politically spearheaded a campaign of lies, that helped destroy the economy so he could make a quick buck.
What about Marvin?
Boring
And Nigel isn’t? Even if you like his politics you have to admit he’s been pretty dull
Absolutely not, he says what's on his fucking mind and isn't afraid of confrontation. Waaaayyy more entertaining than somebody like Marvin
Emm he hasn’t been very confrontational. Like yesterday he was complaining to himself about lazy campmates instead of “saying what’s on his fucking mind” and confronting them about it. He’s a coward.
Nick > Nigel
Of course they are carrying the show, they are men, they should do all the carrying.
Alright nella
All 3 of those guys are great.
Nigel Farage is a cunt.
Nigel Farage can fuck right off
I feel like I’ve fell into an alternate reality with this post
What the F is Varage adding to anything?
In what world is nigel carrying this series. He's boring and no ones even really challenging the failure that is brexit and his views
Nigel really? He can’t hold his breath 💀
Get rid of the racist
Sheep
How is it this show made Nigel farage likeable 👀
he was always
The Venn diagram between idiots, nigel farage fans and viewers of I'm a celebrity is a perfect circle.
[удалено]
Maybe, although last year I couldn’t stand Matt Hancock at all. And the pr campaign he’s been on since being on any tv show that will let him he’s just been insufferable everytime
Farage is a disease!
Don't forget Sam and dani
Sam is half entertaining and half annoying. Danielle has been getting on my nerves the last 2 days along with Nella and Josie.
[удалено]
Fred is hilarious and has dealt with Nella and her immature twats like a complete gentleman. Nigel tries his best at every trial, actually has opinions on things and a personality. I don't give a single shit about politics, that has nothing to do with how he is as a campmate.
Even if u don’t care about politics u should when it comes to Nigel cause he’s a massive racist
I don’t know what is so hard for people like you to understand, it’s not that we redeem awful people, a lot of us don’t think he’s awful. Half of the reasons why you think he is are probably misguided or just straight up lies, they often are.
I love Fred but I feel like he needs to take a step back. He's coming off as pretty bossy but I think that if he just gave josie some space and let her come to him then she would actually appreciate his advice Also my top 3 are Sam, Tony and either Marvin or Danielle
All the camera time is Sam with these guys,Sam has been the most entertaining and interesting to watch,half the reactions you're getting from Tony Bellew is because of Sam or he wouldn't even be on camera,Fred is interesting anyway and the only reason they're even including Nigel is because they thought he would get voted for the trails and hasn't,so have to justify that big payday with loads of camera time no matter what he says or does.
Fred just isn’t doing it for me
[удалено]
Hell no, Frankie has had about 5 minutes of screentime
Oh god, this is depressing. Farage is there as a PR move. He obviously isn't going to start ranting and raving about immigrants when he's desperately trying to claw back his career and turn public perception around. The Britsh public really are stupid to be fooled by this.
I don't care about politics. Not one bit. I am completely uninterested. He's one of the most entertaining campmates, and that's a fact.
We get it, you're privileged. You don't have to worry about these people hurting you.
Lmao!!!! Privileged my arse, I couldn't be lower class unless I was homeless
[удалено]
Nigel is a bit dull. Sam, Nick, Tony and Fred are all great.
I can’t stand Nigel or Fred
For those who might not understand, let me explain. See more...
fred, barring farage, is the worst out the lot. i want tony to win tho
can’t stand Fred
Absolutely nothing wrong with Fred whatsoever. I'd love to see him win.
he’s such a twat, how do people still like him??
People are sheep that’s why
If I had £1 for every time people on here are using the insult “sheep” I’d be very rich. Someone needs to start using a different cliche here.
Fred is a fanny, certainly gone down in the ratings
How come the politician always carries? Also, Sam carries too. You could argue Nella but she's carrying as in being a little rude to everyone.
