Charlie Brooks is the winner of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out OF Here 2012.

In what was probably the closest final in I'm A Celebrity history, Charlie Brooks and Ashley Roberts both managed to clear their plates during the stomach churning 'Final Feast'. It was impossible to call based on the Bushtucker Trial, but Charlie nipped it with the British public. Well... she did eat the live Witchetty grub!


Actress Charlie Brooks couldn't believe she'd made the final two: “I’m so shocked I just can’t believe it. It’s amazing, I feel so happy. It means a lot my family are going to be so proud, I really hope they are. Kiki will be absolutely ecstatic.”

Pussy Cat Doll Ashley Roberts thought The Hayemaker would still be there. “I can’t believe I’m in the top two, I thought David was here to the end.  We all did, all of us, so that was left field.  I’m super excited I’m here with Charlie, I love that chick to pieces.”


As is always the case, the final challenge was the infamous 'Final Feast'. The finalists had to earn their last supper (a three course meal) by eating four disgusting dishes.

Ashley's menu consisted of:

‘Deep Fried Camel-Bert’ (camel penis)
‘Eye-ella’ (a paella with raw fish eyes)
‘Death by Cocklate’  (a chocolate cake with live cockroaches) 
‘Duck Egg Nog’ (Puréed 100 year old duck egg)

Charlie's frightful four were:

‘Witchetty Grub Wrong-ton’ (A live Witchetty Grub)
‘Quiche Lor-Brain’ (A quiche topped with a pig brain)
‘Tur-Key Lime Pie’ (A vomit fruit pie with slime and turkey testicles on)
‘Bugs Fizz’ (Blended cockroaches, crickets and mealworms)


Unbelievably both ladies managed to retch their way through every course! They won nachos, battered prawns, fajitas, burritos, chocolate ice cream and apple crumble all washed down with beer and margaritas.

On winning the I'm A Celebrity crown, Charlie was overwhelmed and congratulated by proud daughter Kiki.


Brooks humbly took the crown and graciously commended her camp mates: "I didn't think this would happen in a million years, we all did our part and everyone played their roles."

Runner up Ashley Roberts broke down in tears on hearing that her family in America were proud of her:  "I've got through far more than I ever thought I would."

Darts champion Eric Bristow is the next celebrity to be voted out of the I'm A Celebrity jungle. Actress Charlie Brooks faced eviction too but she survived the public vote, making it through to the semi-final.


It's been all about the treats tonight on I'm A Celebrity. Producers have spoiled the camp mates rotten with fun games and palatable prizes.

They bagged chocolates and corned beef during the Dingo Dollars trial (Ashley thought the beef tasted like hell). They won beer, cheese and wine as part of the darts challenge, as well as a phone call home which Charlie enjoyed. And finally ice creams! Yep, ice creams were scattered around the camp for them to find. They ripped into them like rabid dogs.

I have to admit the treats were well deserved as the camp mates took part in the dreaded Celebrity Cyclone Bushtucker trial. They worked as a team to nail it in record time and shaved a whopping four minutes off the time allowed. Crocodile steaks all round!

Ant and Dec revealed the news about the public vote and Eric looked disappointed.

How did you find your journey? "This will go down as one of my highs... great experience. Thank you."

"It's great to be out but I'd have liked to make the top three, I wanted to 'do the bugs' for the kids."

You've predicted every person correctly who's left. Who do you think will win? "I think David will win it, he'll be able to eat more grubs but you never know do you!"

Finally Ant asked about Eric's direct approach, Eric smiled. "It's how I am, people that know me know. If they like me, they know and if they don't, I don't talk to them."

Are you happy to see the back of Eric Bristow or did you want him to win?

TV chef Rosemary Shrager is the next contestant to leave the I'm A Celebrity jungle. She may have been voted out but she loved the experience and was feeling frisky after getting herself into a lather!


On tonight's show, chef Rosie was happy to get hot and heavy as she took part in the latest Dingo Dollars challenge alongside Hugo Taylor.

Arriving at the scene of their latest challenge, the pair were confused by the sight of an old fashioned bath tub connected to a winch and wooden seat.

Reading the instructions, they both realised that one of them would have to lie in the bath and scrub themselves with soap to reveal a code. The other would have to 'hang around' and tap in the combination for the cash.

Rosemary couldn't get into her swimming costume fast enough. She's admitted feeling liberated by her jungle experience and after weeks of icy showers, a hot bath was well received.

The idea of getting lathered up was lovely! “My gosh, I’ve got to go right down to the middle of the soap...this is magic."

Sadly, completing the challenge and bagging a plate of marshmallows for camp wasn't enough to save her. But it was a nice change to see someone leave with a smile and so exhilarated.

"I feel like a more confident person now after this... I'm so glad I did it. What an experience, I've absolutely loved it."

"I was in it to win but I'm happy to get this far, I tried my best and I enjoyed the bath!"

Presenter Ant McPartlin asked about facing her fears. "I'm still scared of snakes but I hate rats. That first trial if Limahl wouldn't have been there, I'd never have done it. And I think Eric only chose me for his trail because I got through those eight hours."

Dec wanted to know about her fiery relationship with Hugo Taylor. "He likes it his own way and he only ever saw me as an authoritative figure. It was quite funny really."

And finally how did she find her experience. She even had a boxing lesson from David Haye. "I wanted to get as much out of that area as possible! I'd like David to win."

Are you sad to see the back of Rosie?
I know I am, she was so much fun!

The camp mates were in shock last night and it wasn't down to Helen Flanagan's exit but the fact that chef Rosemary Shrager hasn't had 'rumpy pumpy' for twenty years!


Rosemary was talking to Ashley while the pair were down at the creek and she said older women need romance just like everyone else.

“It’s so funny because they always think that when you are older you have lost romance and lost you know, when you want to have a little bit of rumpy pumpy."

"Everybody loves a little bit of rumpy pumpy but the thing is that it gets less when you get older. Women still feel quite sexual, I mean why not?"

"I think it is incredibly important for people to know that older women still want a bit of romance, your needs are slightly different when you get older but you still want to be wooed”.

Ashley was surprised when Rosemary told her that she’d been separated for 20 years and advised her to get back in the game. 

“Well you need to get out there honey, it’s been a solid 20 years since  Rosemary has rumpy pumpy and I’m trying to inspire this senorita to get back out there and get in the game -  20 years is not okay, things shut off, it needs to be used!”
 
“You are going to come out of here with a figure honey and you better use it - rumpy pumpy for Rosemary on the outside! You have got to unleash the dragon and get all  that fluid going around your body. Get things going.”

Is there anyone out there to sweep this classy and cute culinarian off her feet?

Helen Flanagan is the next camp mate to leave the I'm A Celebrity jungle. After weeks of mental torture, trials, tanning, sleeping pills and begging for chocolate, she's finally hit the bridge and taken the walk of shame. Thanks to her magic bra, she'll now be remembered for more than her failures!


In tonight's show Helen did little to impress the camp mates and everything to impress the boys at home. It was all about her magic leopard print bra and from where I'm standing it could have been her downfall.

Let's just say I could almost hear ladies across the country picking up their phones. I mean come on, she's lost a record number of trials winning no meals, spent all of her time tanning, primping and preening herself and today, she bangs on a bra that raised her already ample breasts up to her chin. A lick of red lipstick and she might as well have written 'Hello Boys' on her forehead. Attention seeking much?

Hugo Taylor couldn't believe his eyes: "It’s huge, you look enormous! It looks a bit silly, if you want my honest opinion. If you like big bazonkas in your face then they are pretty hard to miss."

Helen admitted, "they do look a bit big to be honest, maybe I'll change." She didn't, says it all.

Ant and Dec arrived at the jungle clearing and revealed that Helen and Hugo were in the bottom two. Regardless of Hugo arguing with show favourite Rosemary Shrager earlier, Helen pipped him to the post and was outta there. It seems her secret weapon didn't work. Perhaps the male voters were at the pub today?

Helen managed to put some clothes on for her interview with Ant and Dec and revealed that she was 'embarrassed' about throwing her trials but was happy that she tried her best.

She added that she loved everyone in camp as they didn't give her a hard time over her failures and would like David Haye to win. Who wouldn't? That bod is just screaming out for a loin cloth and a leafy crown!

Are you happy to see Helen go?
Was she one of your jungle faves or all about the attention?

Coronation Street actress Helen Flanagan has apparently been given sleeping pills in the I'm A Celebrity jungle to help her with the stress. According to her camp mates, she's also been hounding producers for midnight snacks! 

Ex-campmate Limahl told the Daily Star newspaper that Flanagan was 'ill-equipped' to manage in the jungle. Helen endured seven Bushtucker Trials in a row last week and apparently was struggling to cope.

The Kajagoogoo singer said, ''One night she whispered that she was given sleeping tablets as she was that stressed out. She is in crisis. Poor Helen told me she was cracking up in there as she is sick of it all."

''First the trials then the filth, the chores, the washing, the mess, the boredom and the creepy-crawlies.

''I got the impression she was ill-equipped to cope with the experience.''

After being ejected from the jungle last Friday, Birds of a Feather star Linda Robson also had plenty to say about the young actress.

She told the Daily Mirror that Helen visited the Bush Telegraph at night to ask for snacks. ''She kept going in asking for chocolate thinking she'd get a treat after doing the trials."

''She kept saying, 'Surely they can see how hard I've worked today? They've got to give me chocolate'. I'd say to her, 'No, love. You're not going to get chocolate until you get out of here'.''

Oooh, is Ms Flanagan a bit of a jungle diva?

Colin Baker is the next contestant to leave the I'm A Celebrity jungle. In a head-to-head with darts champion Eric Bristow, Colin failed to bag enough stars to keep him in the competition. Sadly tonight we lose Dr Who.


On tonight's show Ant and Dec welcomed Colin and Charlie who were going head to head with Eric and Rosemary. Asked why Eric had chosen Rosemary as his panic partner, he said: “The first night here she sat in a hut for the night with bugs so that was the ploy behind choosing Rosemary.”

Ant and Dec explained the trial. “There are two panic rooms and each is identical, one wall in each room is covered in hell holes, each of these holes contains stars as well as a few surprises. Inside each room is a collection box and you will have five minutes to find as many stars as you can and deposit them in a box.” 

Giant stars meant meals for camp while the small ones would be tallied at the end. Those scores would decide who went home.

The hell holes were filled with snakes, crocodiles, lizards, crabs, yabbies, cockroaches, and scorpions among other critters.

Colin said he felt apprehensive as he didn’t know what was behind the doors but had chosen Charlie as she’s “feisty little thing, she’s my only and best choice.”

Rosemary said she was going to go for it “Because Eric is going to win and I don’t want the wrath of Eric.”  

Charlie and Rosemary went first and as they put their hands into the holes, each of the two women were squealing away, observed by their partners Colin and Eric from the back of the panic room.

At the end Eric said: “Rosemary, to the day I die, I will remember that. I have been watching a screaming lunatic.” What good would shouting at her do Eric? Leave her alone.

The men were calmer, even when Eric was nipped by a frisky snake,  “He doesn’t like me and he’s had a wee in here.”

He was encouraged and hugely supported by Rosemary saying, “You are a hero, incredible, you are doing brilliantly I can’t believe it.” 

Colin was nipped several times by a crab, “Ow! Get off, he’s fighting for his territory, it was huge and every time I went in, it attacked me.” Colin received his own share of bites from a scorpion and a crab. “The crab kept coming at me!"

With the trial over it was time to count the stars. Eric scored a massive 280 compared to Colin's 62, it was a whitewash.

Thankfully Colin was quite pleased to go. He was over the moon to have lost weight and is looking forward to seeing his family.

But what did he think of his nemesis Eric?
"I adore him. In the early days when I was struggling a bit, physically, he was the one that helped me."

Speaking about Helen Flanagan's trials, he said: "We were just so sorry for Helen actually. We would have liked food, but she was such a helpless creature."

"She has evolved hugely. She has turned from somebody who doesn't know left from right or what day it is most of the time, she has made the biggest journey of all of us."

Do you think Helen has changed?
Do you think it was a fair result tonight?

On tonight's show there's been tears, tantrums, terror and trickery and the new 'Bushtucker Battle' has been revealed. After receiving the least votes from viewers at home, darts champion Eric Bristow and actor Colin Baker must go head-to-head to remain in camp. The loser goes home.

As well as the Bushtucker Battle, producers have started to play tricks on the camp mates. Champion boxer David Haye and Pussy Cat Doll Ashley Roberts have both been elected as 'camp meddlers'.

The pair have been sabotaging and stealing all day but by far the best jape was when they stole the camp mirror. Later Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan tried to apply more of her fake tan without the mirror. After a few hours she could have gone to a fancy dress party as an Oompa Loompa.

Two bars of Wonka's best for me please Flanners!

Who should leave tomorrow, Eric or Colin?
