Although I will probably still watch it anyway!

OP posts:
Gruntfuttock · 16/11/2014 01:07

I've heard of 5 of them. Michael Buerk, Vicki Michelle, Melanie Syles, Craig Charles and Edwina Currie. I don't know how much of it I'm going to watch, if any.

Gruntfuttock · 16/11/2014 01:08

Sykes, not Syles.

Leeds2 · 16/11/2014 01:32

I know Carl Fogarty and Jimmy Bullard. And Craig Charles.

I also know Michael Buerk and Edwina Currie. But didn't realise they were in it!

Tobyjugg · 16/11/2014 02:44

Never seen it. No plans to do so. I only know 4 out of Gruntfuttock's 5 Who is Michael Buerk?

Gruntfuttock · 16/11/2014 02:53

Michael Buerk is a reporter and newsreader, tobyjugg en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Buerk

lunar1 · 16/11/2014 03:26

I know, one of them is even listed as being a golfers ex girlfriend. I think that's stretching the definition of celebrity a little far!

lottiegarbanzo · 16/11/2014 03:27

I'm quite shocked at how many of those I have heard of! Usually none, of the soap, sport and reality stars. What on earth is Michael Buerk doing there?

CrazyOldBagLady · 16/11/2014 03:28

This year I was feeling pleased with myself for ourecognising so many! Didn't realise Edwina Curry was amongst the line up though, where did you hear that Gruntfuttock?

Tobyjugg · 16/11/2014 10:12

Ah! Thanks.

ThinkIveBeenHacked · 16/11/2014 10:15

Edwina?! They kept that quiet, havent seen her in any promo stuff.

Apparently MB said he would buy double glazing with his winnings Grin so already im backing him.

I had no idea who Gemma Collins was til I saw an awful advert for a tv show in which she announces "Im Gemma Collins. Im 32, ive earned my diva-ship" Hmm so am actually looking forward to watching her and simultaniously hating and being fascinated by her rediculousness (sp)

sillymillyb · 16/11/2014 10:18

I recognised a few, but felt quite ashamed of myself when I realised I was most excited about kendra from the playboy mansion....

Cerisier · 16/11/2014 10:20

It was Michael Buerk's reporting when he was the BBC's Africa correspondent that highlighted the suffering in Ethiopia in the 80s, and led to LiveAid. He has been shot at and imprisoned as a journalist but that was when he was much younger so I am wondering how he will get on in the jungle.

specialsubject · 16/11/2014 13:08

5 out of 10 for me, plus Edwina Currie if she is going.

no, won't be watching, but gotta keep up with the culcher... Smile

Gruntfuttock · 16/11/2014 13:20

"Didn't realise Edwina Curry was amongst the line up though, where did you hear that Gruntfuttock?"

Well It was mentioned on a programme I was watching, but confirmed here:-

SparkyLark · 16/11/2014 13:24

I saw the line-up. Bit dull. The usual line-up of girls in bikinis, page 3, hottypattaties as Millionaire Matchmaker would say. The men were a blur too.

But to be fair I never watch it! I'm still waiting for decent Play for Today type programmes, so I guess I'll be waiting a long time. B

Bring back Harold Pinter!

NoArmaniNoPunani · 16/11/2014 13:25

Who are the ten going in then?

Nicename · 16/11/2014 13:27

I never know who anyone is. I don't watch soaps or pretend (reality) telly so I have no point of reference. I never know who people are on the cover of sleb mags in the shops either - are they real people, characters from a soap or some person with a famous family member.

WorraLiberty · 16/11/2014 13:28

I only know Michael Buerk, Vicki Michelle, Melanie Sykes, Craig Charles and Edwina Currie.

That's far more than I usually know Grin

But I'll be watching avidly as usual.

Fixerupperz · 16/11/2014 17:26

Wasn't Edwina Currie in it in a previous year?
I'm looking forward to it .

Thisvehicleisreversing · 16/11/2014 17:48

sillymilly I'm excited about Kendra too. I loved Girls of the Playboy Mansion. Blush

I think she'll be great on it. Her or Jimmy Bullard to win for me. He's hilarious when he's on Soccer AM.

Carrierpenguin · 16/11/2014 18:37

I thought edwina had been in it previously too?!

NuggetofPurestGreen · 16/11/2014 18:41

I know four of them, which is less than usual! And I watch the soaps and am reasonably genned up on the celebs.

Gemma Collins, Melanie Sykes, Craig Charles, Vicki Michelle

NuggetofPurestGreen · 16/11/2014 18:42

And Edwina if that's true.

whitesandstorm · 16/11/2014 18:47

I don't think Edwina will be on tonight, think she's going to be one of those late arrivals. I thought she'd been on it before then I realized it was Coach Trip and Come dine with me.

Chippednailvarnish · 16/11/2014 18:48

I'm ashamed to say I love I'm a celebrity. I never know who most of them are, but I watch just to see Ant and Dec continually taking the piss out of everyone.
