I’m A Celebrity Star In Death Horror
THE real stars of I’m A Celebrity are the bugs, the insects that are made to touch celebrity flesh and forced to endure showbiz teeth without the aid of sunglasses. You want to know why ANT ‘n’ Dec got the job? It’s all to do with dimensions and the dumb luck of a birth certificate.

“I’ve seen spiders with plugs on their fangs. It’s not going to do them any good.”
Those plugs contain a bleaching agent.You want to get on in telly? Get the teeth. Reuse the plugs on your head.

Peter Andre?
“Why, after X-amount of series, are they abusing cockroaches? Cockroaches should be championed, not stamped all over. They’re one of the most successful animals on earth.”

ITV said last night they have had more than 40 complaints about cruelty to insects.
You give a cockroach a phone…
