I’m going to be the Lion Queen on I’m a Celeb, says Boy George as he lands in Australia ahead of ITV show

I'M a Celebrity stars Boy George and Scarlette Douglas were seen leaving luxury behind as they paddled to an island during the show launch. The new series kicked off on Sunday night and Boy George, 61, and A Place in the Sun's Scarlette, 32, went from a luxury yacht to the tiny inflatable to meet their co-stars. Singer George was unmissable in a brightly printed co-ordinating set while Scarlette looked like she was heading off on holiday in a lime green jumpsuit.

MIKE Tindall has revealed he fears he will infuriate the I’m A Celebrity campmates with his noisy eating habits - a trait his wife Zara despises. The ex-England rugby captain said the Royal had warned him to watch his unrefined manners while in camp. Mike, 44, said: “Zara’s biggest worry is how loud I am when I eat.

I'M A Celebrity viewers believe Boy George "asked for an easy ride" into camp after managing to land the easiest entrance challenge. The first 10 contestants arrived on the Australian-based reality show on Sunday evening, with four separate challenges playing out, often facing their fears in the process. Charlene White, Babatunde Aleshe and Jill Scott were first up, having to walk a plank off a high-rise building before jumping off.

I’m A Celebrity fans were left furious this evening as Matt Hancock failed to make an appearance. On tonight’s show ten famous faces entered the jungle – but the Conservative MP was nowhere to be seen. Matt will in fact be a late arrival alongside Seann Walsh later in the week – but many viewers didn’t seem aware of this.

MIKE Tindall takes an early bath last night as I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! returned. The former English rugby union player was up to his neck in water as he hunted for stars for the camp in the Critter Cruise Challenge.

Mike Tindall, 44, discussed whether his family would be coming out to support him during his time in the jungle.The sports star, who is married to Princess Anne’s daughter Zara Tindall, 41, is beginning his journey on the ITV show I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! this Sunday.Ahead of his stint on the popular reality show, Mike was asked whether Zara and the rest of his family would be coming out to support him or whether they had offered any words of advice.He said: "We’re not entirely sure yet, we haven’t fully made that decision and it’s probably how deep into the show we go.“And we have some work out here, so if it got to the end then hopefully she’d be able to come out and get some vitamin D,” he added in reference to wife Zara. Mike admitted he got emotional when he said goodbye to his wife and kids, Mia, eight, Lena, four, and Lucas, one, on the Royal Estate, even shedding a tear.  Mike said: "Obviously, it’s difficult but the saving grace is going to a country that we know very well, and Zara understands and gets it and that makes it a lot easier.”The star then went on to confess he actually hoped to see more signs of sadness from his beloved children."It’s one of those things with the kids,” he explained. “I’ve had a couple of phone calls while I’ve been here. “They say they’re going to miss you when you leave but when you ring them, they’re like, ‘Hi dad, bye.’ “Then they are off doing whatever they do,” he continued.

BOY George has made television history by becoming the best paid contestant I’m A Celebrity has ever had. The Sun can reveal the iconic popstar is being paid more than £800,000 to appear on the ITV show this year, outstripping the previous record by nearly £250,000.  Deal or No Deal host Noel Edmonds is believed to have been the best paid star to date, pocketing £550,000 to appear in 2018.

I'M A Celeb's Chris Moyles looks terrified as he skydives into camp with Olivia Attwood in first look pictures from the new series. The ITV reality show begins tomorrow night and is back in Australia for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic. Ten celebrities are heading into the I'm a Celeb jungle - but some have to take to the skies first.

Ant and Dec have been urged to quit I'm A Celebrity just days before the latest series kicks off.

EX-ENGLAND footballer Jill Scott will be a bundle of energy and won't shirk a challenge in the jungle, according to Sky Sports star Hayley McQueen. The sportswoman-turned-pundit, 35, is one of the Lioness's best ever players and is the bookies favourite to be crowned queen of the jungle. And she has the backing of footy-mad Hayley, who expects Jill to thrive in Oz.

THIS year's crop of I'm A Celebrity stars are in for a shock if they think they'll be able to get even a second of privacy, a former campmate has warned. Ex-Strictly Come Dancing professional AJ Pritchard has lifted the lid on how the camp is littered with microphones - even in the toilet. This year's campmate Olivia Attwood's recently admitted she's worried she'll struggle without sex for up to two weeks in the jungle.

MIKE Tindall has revealed he did have discussions with the Royal Family before joining I'm A Celeb jungle. The ex-England rugby captain - who is married to Princess Anne's daughter Zara - is in Australia with the other campmates, to take part in the hit ITV reality show.

Jeremy Clarkson has said he believed Matt Hancock was "charming" when he met him recently but has now made a U-turn on his thoughts after seeing his appearance ahead of his I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! stint.The 44-year-old will be a late arrival on this year's series and his place on the show has definitely ruffled a few feathers. Defending his decision to go into the jungle last week, the former Health Secretary said he hadn't "lost his marbles" but that he wanted to "go where the people are".Matt is likely to face many Bushtucker Trials in the jungle after sparking outrage due to breaking social distancing rules last year. Jeremy, 62, is the latest star to take a swipe at the politician. In his latest column, he wrote: "I actually met 'Mancock' the other day and have to admit he was charming, interested, interesting and extremely personable.Ageless Amanda Holden almost spilled out of eye-popping plunging dress"I came away thinking that he might actually be normal."But then I noticed that he arrived in Australia for his (possibly brief) stint on I’m A Celebrity and had tucked his T-shirt into his jeans.#"I never trust a man who does that.

I'M A Celebrity's stars looked like they were enjoying their usual lives of luxury as they look a water cruise onto the show. Pop icon Boy George, rugby royal Mike Tindall, TV host Scarlette Douglas and soap star Owen Warner were all shown sailing in Australia. Boy George, 61, was seen holding out a hand and was later seen on dry land clutching a seemingly unnecessary umbrella.

"It’s one of those things with the kids. I've had a couple of phone calls while I’ve been here.“They say they’re going to miss you when you leave but when you ring them, they’re like hi dad, bye.Then they are off doing whatever they do."I expected there to be more tears than there actually are."Mike is the first Royal reality TV star to appear on the ITV show for decades.On leaving her at home in Gloucestershire with the kids, he said: "Zara gets it and supports it – with both our careers, she goes away competing for weeks at a time.“I always went on tours for 3-4 weeks in the summer, so our relationship has always been built to deal with that and we’re good at compartmentalising and finding ways to deal with it."Zara told me to go and be myself, which is all you can be.She said to go enjoy yourself and be yourself.

POP icon Boy George has taken on his first death-defying trial, as this year's celebs prepare to enter the jungle in just a matter of days. Boy George joined the rest of the celebrity cast to take on the dreaded Ledge, a vertigo-inducing challenge that sees stars strapped into their harnesses and forced to walk the plank. The pop sensation could be seen by onlookers bravely completing the challenge alongside Mike Tindall and Olivia Attwood.

WITH huge stars like Boy George, Mike Tindall and...erm... Matt Hancock, this year's I'm a Celeb could be one of the best yet. But it's the appearance of Chris Moyles that could steal the headlines, with the DJ set to be the jungle's most outspoken star.

A PETITION to remove Matt Hancock from I’m A Celebrity has hit 20,000 signatures as furious families team up to get him axed. Pressure group Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice launched the petition yesterday, after The Sun exclusively revealed the former Health Secretary had signed up and will likely draw a staggering appearance fee.

Mike Tindall, 44, who is married to Princess Anne's daughter Zara Phillips, is the first member of the royal family to sign up to I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!.
