in the news of the world today it said there is going to be a cleb Survivor on August 24 for two weeks here more:
SEVEN brave celebs will be cast away in a jungle hellhole facing attack by monster crocs, venomous snakes, deadly spiders...and a dragon called Christine Hamilton.
The 52-year-old wife of disgraced Tory MP Neil is one of the favourites to star in ITV's survival show, I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here.
Christine and six others will be marooned in a remote rainforest near Tully in Northern Queensland, Australia, for two weeks, from August 24.
Also tipped for selection are busty model Melinda Messenger, chirpy chappie DJ Tony Blackburn, society girl Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, former boxer Nigel Benn, hypnotist Paul McKenna, former EastEnders actor Marc Bannerman, lesbian comic Rhona Cameron and foul-mouthed Irish funnyman Ed Byrne.
An insider on the show revealed: "There are nine celebrities in the frame to appear in the show at moment. But that will be knocked down to just seven in a few days when programme makers decide exactly who they want."
The seven survivors will leave their lives of luxury far behind when they are flown to Oz on a 271/2 hour flight in August. They will have just 48 hours to acclimatise before the challenge begins.
In temperatures averaging 30°C and intense humidity the contestants will have to build their own shelters, hunt for food and complete a series of gruelling tasks.
ITV will screen a one-hour show every day during the fortnight and after the fourth night, viewers will start to vote off the weakest celebs. The winner will donate a cash prize to the charity of their choice.
Viewers will also be able to reward contestants who perform particularly well in their tasks. The insider said: "All the celebs are going to have all of life's comforts stripped away from them.
"And each day, they are going to have to take part in exhausting tasks. How people like Melinda and Christine will cope is anyone's guess."
The grim location has been used before—for the American Survivor 2 series. An insider on the Australian production team said: "We aren't being told much at the moment, apart from that it is 40 minutes from Tully, a small backwater south of Cairns in the Queensland rainforest.
"It's very hot and it will be near the rainy season, so humidity will be intense. There are seawater crocodiles. Locals never swim in the water."
The only guarantee given to the stars is that they will be back in Britain by September 11.
In one piece, they hope!
