New celebrities face jungle kidnap ordeal

New 'I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!' celebrities, ex-Dollar singer David Van Day and TV presenter Timmy Mallett were “kidnapped” on their way into the jungle.

Mallett spied a cake on the jungle floor – and after bending over to pick it up he was swept up into the trees in a giant net.

Screaming and shouting, Mallett was caught in the net and unable to escape.

Soon he heard someone walking through the jungle.

“Who’s there?” he called. “You’ve got to help me. I feel like the child catcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.”

Van Day appeared, saying: “I’ve seen everything now. You look good. How did you get up there?”

But as he shouted smugly, a second net closed in and swooshed him up off the jungle floor and into the trees to join Mallett.

“I’ll get you Mallett, you prat,” he shouted, clearly riled.

Van Day added: “I came in thinking this was going to be easy. Listen, I wouldn’t have left you there.”

Cages were then constructed on the jungle floor below the two captives and they were lowered into them to await their fate.

“I suppose they think this is funny,” moaned Van Day.

“We’re in here for a long time,” said Mallett.

Martina Navratilova was called to the Bush Telegraph and given instructions which she read to the camp.

“There are two new campmates being held captive in the jungle. They will be in prison until morning. You have the ability to ease their situation but only if certain demands are met. Await further instruction.”

Accompanying the instructions were Polaroid photographs of the hapless pair.

The camp were left with a dilemma – whether to pay to get them out.

Robert Kilroy-Silk said he felt “victimised” being picked for the Bush Tucker Trial a second time.

The ordeal, named John T-revolting involved being encased in a Perspex suit split into six compartments, two legs, two arms, the torso and the head and jungle creatures would be added to each compartment.

Each compartment was worth either one or two stars and to win all 10 Kilroy-Silk would have to endure the suit for 10 minutes

All celebrities will be eligible for the Live Trial on tonight’s show on ITV.

They will go to public vote to see who will undertake “the worst exercise regime they have ever seen”.
