I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Here: A Tabloid Guessing Game
I’M A Celebrity Get Me Out Here is all set to begin. And the Sun issues a challenge to budding tabloid writers: Can you name all of the celebrities?
The paper’s front page is a forest of faces, some almost familiar, some less so.
Jobbing Chris Biggins is easy to spot, although if he were to remove his feature glasses, there is no small chance he would look like “John Burton Race” or “Katie Hopkins”. And is “John Burton Race” the infamous provincial solicitors practice, the one forever locked in a bitter war for local business with “Anna Ryder Richardson”?
Fred Fairbass or Craig Fairbass. Is Marc Bannerman the celebrity chef, for surely there must be one in the group?
As ever with the tabloids, when one organ dares try the different, another should spoil it. And the Mirror leads with news of the “secret” I’m A Celebrity line—up.
There are pictures of the “CELEBS”. And looking through the faces and biogs we realise that these can’t be the real contestants, but mere stooges, part of a PR stunt to make the genuine celebrities appear, well, genuine when they swing into the jungle.
Janice Dicksinson? Ingrid Tarrant? As if…

That first comment from cool and calm made me laugh
“‘I’m a celebrity’ is my secret addiction.
I hate myself for it and it goes against all my principles but still I sit there night after night forgoing a social life to watch the nonsense.”
I don’t really understand the desire of the celebrities to go on the show though… but good for suckers like me that they do!
There’s a another blog site i somestimes read thats got some stuff on the ‘PR’ side of IACGMOOH - made it all it a bit clearer about why they do what they do!

It’s like Mrs. Merton saying to Debbie McGee “So, tell me, what first attracted you to millionarre Paul Daniels?”

I am not a celebrity but have met one at the celebrity and millionaire dating site named searchingmillionaire.com. He is a former Hollywood director and 13 years older than me. We are very happy now.

Yes Karen, I thought David Gest would be a big no-no but I loved him!
Ooooh I can’t wait……..

I’m hoping for Biggins too. And Janice.
I thought David Gest would be boring and he was brilliant. Never underestimate a Z-lister.

Biggins for President. I so hope the rumours are true…….

Hammy, take your point but Istill enjoy it!!
I think there’s always a place for light entertainment…
Anway, if we all liked the same thing life would be sooooo boring.

3. Hammy - Because she wants to improve her career and believes the way to do this is to become a celebrity? Just a wild guess.

I believe I’m a celebrity is a programme which plays on the people’s want to improve their careers and believe that it is one of the worst programmes on the T.V today.Why would you want to watch it?

Biggins!

‘I’m a celebrity’ is my secret addiction.
I hate myself for it and it goes against all my principles but still I sit there night after night forgoing a social life to watch the nonsense.
Even Sky+ doesn’t help because I want to see it immediately! NOW.
I know i need therapy… I shall seek help after this series. I shall. I shall.
Meanwhile, can anyone be as good as David Gest? as annoying as jan Leeming? as daft as Tony Blackburn? as up themselves as Fashanu? as mercurial as Tara PT?? as irritating as Jordan and Peter?
Oh Lordy. I can’t wait!
