Most shocking Im A Celebrity moments from Gillian McKeith fainting to a mystery urinator
Believe it or not, I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! has been entertaining us for over 20 years and in that time has given us many unforgettable moments.
This iconic ITV show, which sees celebs face Bushtucker Trials and camp conditions in the Australian jungle, first aired in 2002 with Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly as hosts. This year's I'm A Celeb hasn't disappointed when it comes to iconic moments, from Sam Thompson squishing a mosquito on Tony Bellew's face to the campmates singing JLS around the campfire.
As we come to the end of this series, let's reminisce about some of the most shocking I'm a Celeb moments, as reported by Manchester Evening News. From Peter Andre and Katie Price's romance to Iain Lee and Amir Khan secretly scoffing their faces with their Dingo Dollar prize.
Fainting saga's
One memorable moment was when Gillian McKeith 'fainted' on live TV. After being nominated for her seventh Bushtucker Trial in a row, it all became too much for Gillian during the tenth season of I'm a Celeb.
Ant and Dec had just announced her name and were explaining what the trial would involve. Gillian took a few steps towards the hosts, grabbed Ant's hand, and dramatically fell to the ground.
Ant called for 'Bob,' who rushed over with an oxygen mask. Ant and Dec then had to cut to a break so the situation could be handled and Gillian could receive the necessary attention.
When they returned on air, the hosts revealed that Gillian had been excluded from the task on medical grounds. Viewers were left fuming after they paid 50p to watch Gillian tackle another bushtucker trial, only for Linford Christie to step in instead.
He had received the second highest number of votes and managed to bag 12 out of a possible 13 stars.
Dingo Dollar Deceit
In a shocking turn of events in 2017, comedian Iain Lee and boxer Amir Khan decided to keep their Dingo Dollar prize all to themselves, leaving the nation stunned. The pair were supposed to share strawberries and cream with their campmates but chose to eat it all by themselves.
The duo lied to their fellow campmates about failing the Dingo Dollar question, leading to disappointment among the group. However, when Lee confessed their deceit, disappointment quickly turned into anger.
'Mystery' urinator
Journalist and author Carol Thatcher was crowned Queen of the Jungle in 2005. But her most shocking moment wasn't her win, it was when she got up in the middle of the night to wee beside her hammock – twice!
A whopping 10 million viewers watched as Carol squatted on the floor for an illegal wee, reports The Mirror. Contestants are supposed to use the dunny, so I'm A Celeb bosses gave a stern warning when the urine started attracting loads of rats.
Even though infra-red cameras showed Carol was the one who did it, she didn't admit it. She stayed quiet while the celebs tried to figure out who would do such a thing – poor Sid Owen from EastEnders got the blame.
It was only after leaving the jungle that Carol confessed. She said: "I arrived in the camp having thrown up more than I ever had, so somebody said drink some water.
"We went to our respective beds and the bush toilet was a long way away and the kerosene lamp had gone out.
"So I did what any camper does and thought I'll just step this way closer to the bushes and go to the loo – slightly forgetting that everything was recorded and on infra-red camera.
"I was extremely unwell and thought that rather than throw up over camp I'd go for a quick wee-stop in the jungle."
Jungle romance
Katie Price, known as Jordan back then, and pop star Peter Andre sparked a romance on I'm a Celeb in 2004. Even though Katie was dating Scott Sullivan at the time, she and Peter couldn't hide their attraction.
The pair were often seen getting cosy on hammocks, sharing cheeky chats and giving each other massages. Their love story didn't end in the jungle; they tied the knot a year later and had two kids, Junior, 18, and Princess, 16.
Sadly, their marriage ended in 2009 – that same year, Katie returned to the I'm a Celeb jungle, where her love story with Peter began. But it wasn't a happy return; she faced every Bushtucker Trial and quit after the seventh one.
In a dramatic exit, she broke up with her then-boyfriend Alex Reid live on air, saying, "I'm not with him anymore," according to the Mirror. She later married and divorced him.
