I'm a celeb- contestants that should not have gone in

In this series I look at people like Fred and Josie and think why did you go in?
Fred had a fantastic reputation, was well respected etc and didn't need to do the show.
Josie was also doing really well and had finally started to break into being a successful presenter.
I can understand her doing the show maybe 2/3 years ago but now she actually has presenting spot on This Morning and was going places.

I remember years ago Natalie Appleton going in. She had a really cool reputation before entering the jungle and my opinion of her completely changed.

I think the insects have regrets

AzureBlue99 · 05/12/2023 22:31

Josie may have been talked into it by ITV.

LittleMissSunshiner · 05/12/2023 22:35

Sorry for being a bit rubbish but when / where can I watch I'm a Celeb?

I stopped watching telly for many years but at the moment I'm not well, may as well watch something. I've got online access only.

I looked at the ITV website but it's offering me old 2022 episodes so I feel confused.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 05/12/2023 22:38

You can watch it on ITVX @LittleMissSunshiner

Aha! Found it thanks. Was missing a vital 'X' in my searching! Odd.

Nella, Fred and Josie have completely ruined their reputations and will need a lot of PR to recover.

I think they'll be very disappointed with themselves.

Nigel never had a good reputation to begin with so I doubt he cares.

It will all be forgotten in a week unless someone does a Roxanne Pallett

Oh my word, wasn't that crazy? Thank god she disappeared. I'm off to Google her.

Bobsyouraunty · 05/12/2023 23:09

Nella shouldn’t have gone in. She’s understandably gotten negative opinions due to some actions but then the dog piling of racist hate she’s received just wasn’t worth it. Despicable how much of a target she’s become

Pukkateaandbiscuits · 05/12/2023 23:09

I don’t watch any reality tv but can someone summarise what Fred has done wrong please? I met him once and rather liked him.

JaneJeffer · 05/12/2023 23:11

@Pukkateaandbiscuits he told people they should wash up properly and how to cook things properly 🤷🏻‍♀️

purpleme12 · 06/12/2023 00:07

I disagree that Josie and Fred have ruined their reputations.
Just because some people might have changed their opinion of them doesn't other people will

stomachameleon · 06/12/2023 00:11

I don't think Fred has ruined his reputation. He explained why he was telling josie what to do... recycling food and stock... and he is right that they rely on food eg bean frittata

They only show small interesting snip it's. I think the girls have come off worst... Nella, Josie and Danielle.

Avacardo2023 · 06/12/2023 00:12

I don't think Fred and Josie have ruined their reputations. Josie is pretty much the same as she was on Big Brother and she won that, and Fred did ok. It wasn't worth it for Nella and she probably got paid very little for the show. No idea why Jamie-Lynn Spears or Grace Debt went on the show.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 06/12/2023 00:18

I presumed Josie is being set up to win and will be ITVs new golden girl.

cockwomble73 · 06/12/2023 07:00

What's Josie done to ruin her reputation? Admittedly I have missed a couple of episodes but thought she was doing pretty well.

Fred has come across as a dick the last couple of days so I'm not surprised he is out.

WillowTit · 06/12/2023 07:02

perhaps Grace had a debt, as you say @Avacardo2023

Thanks JaneJeffer!

I guess old habits die hard! 😀

HoHoHoliday · 06/12/2023 09:32

What has Josie done to ruin her reputation? I haven't seen all episodes but I thought she comes across quite well.

I agree Nella will regret it, more because of the racist abuse, which has been hideous.
Fred has come across as being patronising and arrogant.

OutOfSyncWithReality · 06/12/2023 09:41

I'm not watching it but all of the SM early reports were Nella to win! She must have come across really badly to have ruined that so quickly.

rockingbird · 06/12/2023 09:43

Gillian will be forever know as that annoying fake contestant on get me out of here..

Dean Gaffney was a bloody trooper!

Nella ... well we all know she's fucked

Josie hasn't come across well, this could be detrimental for her.

Darren Day was a complete disaster

Then again toff and Stanley became the best of friends!

I see Sam, Marvin and Tony doing very well from it. Nigel is a good sport and dare I say it quite level headed! Nick - who I had no idea about before is super cool and a genuinely lovely chap.

I didn't say they've ruined their reputations.
Just that they had good reputations before so didn't need to do it.
Fred always came across as a friendly, lovely, happy person. Now we've seen a different side to him - moody, bossy and arrogant.

Josie was not at a stage in her career where she needed to do this. She was going up in her career - presenting on the main show of This Morning rather than just the location reporter/competitions.
You wouldn't see Holly, Emma Willis etc going in the Jungle. I absolutely love Josie but don't think it helps people view her a serious presenter.

I didn't see any racist abuse against Nella. Where was this?

Mmm but they don't have to 'need' to though do they.
They might 'want' to, for whatever reason (probably money though)
