i’m a celeb

Jacqueline Jossa has opened up about the struggles of being a mum in a beautifully honest post. The I’m a Celebrity winner had to leave her daughters for weeks when she was taking part in the reality show and the guilt was overwhelming, the former soapstar shared.

Jacqueline wrote: “Being a mum is tough, even when you feel like you haven’t been your best self that day, and you are tired and need a rest, even when you feel like you’ve done nothing to warrant a break!”

She explained that finding the balance between motherhood and me-time is tough.

“It’s a constant battle with, oo I would love a nice dinner and a cheeky cocktail and oo snuggles and Disney movies with the munchkins. It’s important to do both guys,” she stressed.

Speaking about leaving her daughters Mia and Ella, the actress said it was the most difficult thing she’s ever done.

“Leaving my babies to go into the jungle was the HARDEST thing I have ever had to do, and every single day I thought about them, some may criticise me for leaving them, that’s okay. You won’t understand my reasons, but I want to create a better life for them.

“I want to be able to be at home and work, have date nights and family nights. I went into the jungle for myself, an experience I will never forget. I learnt so much and have become and even better mummy for it,” Jacqueline continued.

“I wanted to be able to be at home more, earn money to put into my business and hopefully open doors to new adventures, which I have done, so my risk of leaping into jungle life was the right decision for me.

"My babies still love me and it was all worth it! I guess what I’m trying to say is, if it’s for the right reasons, do it. Feel the fear and do it anyway,” the mum wrote.

Gabby Allen has been labelled ‘disgusting and selfish’ after she leaked ex-boyfriend Myles Stephenson’s sexts.

The reality star shared her former partner’s private messages to prove that he cheated on her, but many stressed that it was unfair of her to do so when he cannot respond as he is currently on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here.

Gabby stressed that the only reason she leaked the messages was to clear her name and to defend herself, however, a source close to Myles said it has caused even more drama and distress.

The Love Island star posted numerous screenshots of texts between Myles and other women. He sent the messages when he was still in a relationship with Gabby.

The 25-year-old also posted a screenshot of an apology from Myles.

A source close to Myles told OK! Magazine, “We all think it’s really out of order for Gabby to do this to Myles when she knows he can't defend himself or reply to the comments.

"Yes he did cheat on her and none of us will defend that, but to share the messages he sent with the world is disgusting and selfish,” they added.

"Myles' mum and family have to now hear all about these sordid details and all because Gabby wants to feel like she's standing up for herself."

They added, “Gabby hasn't thought about how it makes his mum feel having to walk around her community and know that everyone knows these things about how her son behaved. It should have been kept private."

Was Gabby wrong to share the sexts or does she have a right to expose Myles?

While Love Island's Amber Gill may not seem to have any luck on the reality show when it comes to finding a proper gentleman (bye, Greg), it seems as though she's already moving on.

The Geordie beautician may have been left shocked by Greg O'Shea's brutal text where he called time on their romance just five weeks after winning the ITV2 show, she seems to be getting back on the horse.

The stunning winner appeared at last night's TV Choice Awards and by the end of the night was spotted looking cosy with I'm A Celebrity star Malique Thompson-Dwyer at the after-party.

The beautician seemed to be getting along well with Malique, cuddling on the sofa while she sported a one-shouldered multi-coloured metallic dress with a thigh-high slash. 

An eyewitness told Mirror Online: "Amber and Malique were clearly flirting with each other – there was loads of eye contact between them.

"They looked like a great match and even got out their phones as if they were swapping numbers. At one point they seemed to be close to kissing, before Jamie Lomas interrupted and started talking to his co-star. Amber looked annoyed when another girl came over and took Malique's attention off her."

The former beauty therapist had appeared on Loose Women to discuss the breakdown of her romance with Irish hunk Greg that same day, so it must have been a rough time for her.

"So from my point of view I still wanted to make it work. There was a call a few days prior just chatting, not specifically to do with that.

"I think there was a bit of miscommunication but I think if you don't want to be with someone, you don't want to be with someone," she added.

"Basically all I wanted was a bit of effort from him to come to London or Newcastle to see me. I said I'm going to have to give up if you don't put the effort in. He said 'okay bye'. I was expecting it to be a bit different."

Amber made sure to compliment Greg (he doesn't deserve it..): "He's a lovely guy but I'm not sure what’s going to happen in the future really. It's a bit of an odd situation," the 22-year-old said.

"The Islanders in from the beginning were naive to people going in later on and what people's perceptions were and what were being said. I didn't really think of that at the time."

Fans' worries were soon put to rest when Holly Willoughby began her role as I’m a Celeb co-host this year.

She flawlessly stepped into Ant’s role adding a whole new dynamic to the duo’s usual riffing routine.

But sadly, the TV personality has announced that she won’t be returning to her recent role next year.

Speaking to the press at the Dancing on Ice launch, she said: “[I’m a Celeb] was a one-off, once-in-a-lifetime adventure.”

Ant has been recovering from his alcohol addiction in rehab and is rumoured to return to host the show next year.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Ant & Dec (@antanddecofficial) on

When asked about joining him and Dec as a possible third host, Holly said: “‘I just don’t think it’s even an option. I’m not even thinking about that.

“I’ll be at home with everyone else having a glass of wine watching it as everyone else is. That’s what I was most jealous of – here I am standing here when you’re all drinking red wine in front of the fire.”

Maybe the jungle was a bit too wild for the favourite presenter…

While ITV has yet to confirm Ant’s return to his presenting role, he is believed to be returning to host Britain’s Got Talent 2019.

As for Holly, she will be back alongside Phillip Schofield for Dancing On Ice and This Morning in the New Year.

So, even though she has left I’m a Celeb, we will still be able to see the charismatic host on the big screen next year.

We have our King of the jungle and it comes as no surprise.

Loved both inside and outside of the I'm A Celebrity camp, Harry is a worthy winner and was a hot fave to take the jungle crown.

Although we cannot believe that another series is done and dusted, we HAD to take a look at some of Harry's key moments in the jungle.

From his epic stories, bushtucker trials and to the love of his wife, Sandra Harris – Harry was truly one-of-a-kind.

The iconic cyclone trial was no match for Harry, although him shouting about needing a wee, was definitely a highlight.

And we can't forget the moment when he was reunited with Sandra, his wife of 51 years – there wasn't a dry eye in the house.

Their relationship is just so special and Harry was very vocal in the camp about his love for her after all these years – long live their relationship.

As for his last ever bushtucker trail, the 71-year-old met his fear of rats head on and it was hilarious.

His running commentary was TV gold.

And of course, it would be a crime not to mention Harry's rendition of Frank Sinatra's My Way.

The bookies had selected Harry as the fave celeb to win the show as Harry's personality stole everyone's heart.

Fans even took to Twitter last night to show their love for Harry by tucking into his beloved jam roly-poly pudding.

They gorged on the desert during the hour-long episode in his honour and share pictures of their pud.

They're hoping as soon as Harry is out of the jungle, he can enjoy Sandra's version of the dish.

We are thrilled that he took the crown and delighted that Emily Atack was the "princess" of the jungle, coming in at second place.

We are certain the celebrities are glad of a hot shower and some proper grub.

What a season it has been.

The Governess has officially left the I'm A Celeb jungle and she is looking UNREAL.

Though she departs the jungle with some incredible memories, there is something she has left behind.

Anne has lost a staggering stone in just three weeks of living in the camp.

The weight loss comes as contestants would occasionally get treats or meals when they won stars, but mainly the celebrities had to survive off of rice and beans.

Anne opened up about her food in the jungle and it looks like she won't be tucking into portions of rice any time soon.

Talking to This Morning, the 60-year-old said via a video call: “The trouble is really there is no salt.

“About a week ago my digestive system just said to me ‘I’m sorry, I'm not having any more rice."

She continued to tell Phillip Schofield and Rochelle Humes that:  "I can have beans, I can have rice and beans but I am having no more rice because it is just going straight through."

“So since then I’ve not had rice by itself. It just went straight through me,” – delightful. 

Fans were quick to spot her slimmer frame and took to social media to compliment the Chase star.

"Anne has lost so much weight since going in to the jungle she looks great," tweeted one.

Another user said: "I like her, she's done so well and lost loads of weight too. Well done Anne."

Anyone up for a stint in the jungle after Christmas? Wouldn't mind shedding that extra winter fluff. 

But fair play to Anne, she was an amazing camp mate.

The I'm A Celebrity jungle is a great place to open up.

The famous faces have hours to chat about life and what has brought them Down Under. 

So we wonder if James McVey from The Vamps will open up about his previous battle with food.

The musician revealed to the Mirror about his private struggle with an eating disorder. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by James McVey (@jamesmcvey) on

Opening up about his struggle with food and body image, the guitarist said it had all began when he was overweight as a child.

As James grew he admitted that he developed a “negative relationship” with food which led to him being "stick thin." 

But the 24-year-old didn't realise just how small his frame had been.

 “Fans always send me pictures from years ago and I’m stick thin, and I didn’t realise back then just how thin I was," he said.

“I was ill and I looked ill. I’m happy that now I’ve come full circle and see food as a positive."

“I don’t want to belittle other people who have anorexia, but I think I definitely had a negative relationship with food in those early days. I was obsessed with food," he explained. 

Thankfully, James is on the road to mending his relationship with food. 

“It’s now about building muscle and getting leaner. You need to eat more of the good things,” he said.

Recently, James' fans haven't been too happy with his treatment in the camp.

The 24-year-old missed out on a care package and his followers felt like he wasn't been given enough air time.

We definitely wouldn't mind seeing more of James' face on our screens. 

Fair play to James for bravely opening up about his battle with food and if you're struggling with an eating disorder, you can find help here

As the jungle antics are well underway, favourites are starting to emerge.

However, things seem to have soured for Anne Hegerty's popularity.

The Chaser was accused of game playing for I'm A Celeb and she's been given special treatment. 

Anne, who has Asperger's was hit with backlash from fans of the ITV programme because she was ruled out of a number of Bush Tucker trials on medical grounds. 

Viewers also lashed out and cried that she was given special treatment when they suggested that she was given a soft drink to consume instead of fish-eye juice (YUCK) in a challenge earlier this week.

However, legend chaser Mark Labbett has come running to Anne's defence saying that she hasn't got a "game plan."

Speaking on ITV’s Good Morning Britain, her co-star said: “She hasn’t got a game plan here."

“She’s the ultimate organiser. She’s the godmother to my son, she’s already got his birthday and Christmas presents and handed them on."

“But she reacts terribly to the unexpected, that’s just one of the things autistic and Asperger’s people do," he added.

The Chaser went onto explain that it's preparation which helped Anne during her second challenge.

“That’s why the first trial, she wasn’t expecting it and it threw her. But the Bushtucker trial, where she knew she had to do it, she prepared herself and absolutely bossed it,” he said.

It's a claim that Anne's manager, David Hahn is reiterating, and he said I'm A Celeb viewers are seeing the real version of the 60-year-old.

David described the camp mate as a "lovely lady" and added that her alter ego as The Governess is "an act."

 “She really is a wonderful human being, she’s an honest lady and wouldn’t do anything at all which is on the wrong side of anybody,” he said.

David also denied the accusation that Anne is given special treatment, stating that she went through the same medical checks as her other camp mates.  

“She’s 60 years old. The rigorous checks they go through are incredible… they don’t leave any stone unturned.

“They can’t take any risks. If they say she can’t do a trial for medical reasons, it has got nothing to do with her Asperger’s or autism,” he said.

We love Anne and think she's incredible for braving the jungle – and we are delighted that she's starting to enjoy herself Down Under.

There has been much awaited anticipation surrounding this season of I’m a Celebrity Get me Out of Here.

A new trailer for the 2018 show aired after last night’s X Factor, adding more to this year's hype.

In the video, a daughter trails her father through the jungle, asking him about a yellow star she finds. In a mysterious tone, he tells her the legends are true.

“So being buried in bugs and creepy crawlies? Being showered in spiders? Getting a face full of fish guts?” she asks

“Yep” is the reply met to every one of her questions, hinting at what skin-crawling tasks the celebrities will be faced with this year.

The promo ends with the two arriving at the famous I’m a Celeb bridge and a narrator confirms that the show will air in November.

However, fans seem to have mixed reviews about the new trailer.

“I’m sorry but what was that advert? Where was Dec?” questioned one comment.

“Just seen the I’m a Celeb advert, bit odd, would’ve been good to have Holly & Dec in it.. .but can’t wait”, said another.

Unfortunately, we will have to wait and see when the official release date is announced, but there are rumours circling around November 18th.

However, we can count on a great season because our fave Love Island star might be on the show!
