The November 29, 2024, episode of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! brought a whirlwind of emotions, unexpected challenges, and pivotal moments as the campmates continued their jungle journey. From the first eviction to a gruesome eating trial, here’s everything that went down.
Jane Moore Becomes the First Evictee
The camp faced its first eviction of the series, with Jane Moore, journalist and Loose Women panelist, leaving the jungle after 12 days. Known for her calm demeanor and supportive nature, Jane had become a maternal figure in the camp, helping to keep things running smoothly.
Her departure left both the camp and viewers shocked. Her close friend and colleague Ruth Langsford humorously remarked that the camp would “fall apart” without Jane’s hard work and diligence, particularly in managing chores like washing up.
Post-eviction, Jane reflected on her time in the jungle, praising her campmates. She highlighted Coleen Rooney for her organizational skills, Danny Jones for his reflective nature, and Dean McCullough for his positivity despite past struggles. Jane also admired Barry McGuigan‘s caring personality and Oti Mabuse‘s infectious energy.
Melvin Odoom Steps Up for a Trial
In a surprising turn of events, Melvin Odoom volunteered to take part in the “Tanks of Torture” Bushtucker Trial, which was originally assigned to Barry McGuigan. Speculation arose among fans that Melvin’s decision was influenced by ongoing tensions with Dean McCullough.
Teaming up with Oti Mabuse, Melvin helped secure all 12 stars for the camp, delivering a much-needed feast and proving his determination to shine in the jungle.
Rev Richard Coles and Tulisa Face a Gruesome Eating Trial
The episode’s eating trial, involving Rev Richard Coles and Tulisa, drew strong reactions from viewers. Tasked with consuming mice body parts and spiders, the duo endured the revolting challenge to earn meals for the camp. Despite the stomach-turning task, they secured 11 stars.
However, the trial sparked outrage on social media, with many fans labeling it a “new low” for the show. Despite the backlash, both Richard and Tulisa received praise for their perseverance and teamwork.
Evolving Camp Dynamics
The camp’s dynamics continued to shift in the wake of Jane’s departure. Former contestant Rebekah Vardy shared her insights, noting the impact of the eviction on morale. She also highlighted the humor brought by Maura Higgins and the emotional depth of Danny Jones, who referred to Barry McGuigan as his “jungle dad.”
Tensions also seemed to linger between certain campmates, with subtle disagreements suggesting that the strain of jungle life is beginning to take its toll.
What’s Next?
With evictions underway and the trials growing tougher, the competition is heating up. How will the remaining celebrities cope with the pressure, and who will rise to the occasion in the coming days?
