I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here 2022 #7

[Eirawen]

Matt hasn’t lived a privileged life. His family ran a small business and he got into private school on a scholarship bursary (kings in Chester, I know people who sent their kids there and it’s not that posh) He was clever enough to get into Oxford, where he met and married someone from an aristocratic background who was family friends with George Osbourne and David Cameron and was able to get on in politics that way.

Changing the subject I’m intrigued by what BG meant when he said he’d ‘heard stories’ about Mike.

So he married someone in order to get into politics and dumped her after he had made it. Wow that says a lot a totally manipulative user! Cold and calculating to the core.

Isn’t Charlene saying he ruined the experience more impartial than sharing an RV with him

My husband made a good point that it could be a Hollyoaks thing, they might need his hair to look exactly the same for continuity reasons. But it still must grow fast to need it doing twice!

Most soaps film scenes out of sequence so they may film the conclusion to a storyline before they film the middle section or they film all their outdoor shots first before their indoor shots. So yes presumably it could be for continuity reasons if they are editing together scenes that were filmed on different days

I don't think it's about 'getting over it' regarding their feeling towards Matt because maybe they can't but they need to put their feelings aside and just get on with living in the camp etc. Going into shows like this you never know who is going to be in there so you need to suck it up and get on with it for a few weeks. I dont like BG but at least he was honest to Matt.

I suspect that the campmates probably DO genuinely feel like they are holding back...a LOT of the time. They're certainly suppressing it a hell of a lot better than I could, if I was in there!

Love her or dislike her, I think Sue hit the nail on the head last night....

If they are in Matt's company, 24/7, and he's asking for forgiveness but yet they're not detecting any sincerity or genuine remorse from him, then that really stokes the proverbial fire and won't exactly help them to park the issue.

They must feel like a pawn in his grand redemption game, being taken for a mug - used and played for all to see. I can't blame them for feeling compelled to discuss that, if he's coming across as fake in there. If I was in there, I'd want to gauge opinions of the others too.

He's such a controversial character and his presence clearly dominates camp life. I agree that discussing him behind his back probably isn't ideal but I do understand and I doubt it'd bother him anyway as it still plays into his hands.

Understandably a lot of people seem to be judging him by their own standards, putting themselves in his position and thinking about how they would feel...but he's not like the average person. Maybe he was bullied as a child and that's awful...but I'm judging him on the man I see today and how he lies and cheats and doesn't give a tit about how that affects us because he's superior.

I don't admire his unflinching nature...in fact I find it quite chilling. He's not keeping a cool head to assess you in A&E triage, he's calculating his next self-serving move!

Of course it wasn't Charlene's fault at all

Charlene White says Matt Hancock ruined I'm A Celeb fun as she feared losing job

Former I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! star Charlene White has spoken about her reaction to former Health Secretary Matt Hancock entering the camp

Ffs, this woman is far too sanctimonious and needs to get over herself. Journalistic integrity my arse. Just smacks of bitterness, not surprised she was first out with that attitude

No me neither, he probably meant the dwarf throwing thing that everyone knows about. I can’t imagine he knows anything that isn’t already out in the public arena.

 

[Doodlebug005]

Mike was also privately educated and lives a very privileged life.. so I don’t think that’s the reason they can’t relate to him. They are choosing not to because it’s not the popular thing to do. ”””

He seems very down to earth, did he say he worked in a fish and chip shop at one time? prefers fetching and carrying, not meant for office jobs perhaps… they are going to suck up to him because he is an extended part of the Royal Family… fingers crossed for those OBE’s …

I don’t think that’s what exactly what happened, and I think he’d still be with her if the affair with Gina hadn’t been exposed in the way it was. But certainly her connections helped him get on. I also think given the way Gina clings to him like a limpet and appears to go everywhere he does (she even hiked Mont Blanc with him and looked bloody miserable and in pain throughout) that she knows she can’t trust him as far as she could throw him. I will be amazed if the relationship goes the distance but at the moment they are both making the most of a bad situation.

I think that Mike is hampered by the Royal association to a degree. He can't say anything bad about the family he married into because that would certainly work against him once out of the jungle. Presumably he's a sensible man who sees them all as individuals rather than an institution so he'll rightly keep his thoughts about individuals private.

He obviously hoped that he would be thought of as a rugby star rather than a Royal appendage. I don't think we've seen much of the real Mike as he has to be so careful about what he says.

I like Mike I think what you see is what you get.

He believes these stories about Mike but he doesn't want people to believe the stories about himself.

Well he had his part to play as well he claimed on IAC that he fell in love with Gina. So he must have pursued her to the detriment of his wife whose connections helped him into politics. What a rat worse than any rat in the jungle and now he's conning everyone watching IAC apart from me and a few others.

Comments are brilliant!

Ha, absolutely. Just read a selection of them. Haven't seen any not saying what a delusion, self obsessed twit people think she is.

Is there an eviction tonight?

Thank God there is. Whilst I did enjoy last night's show, it was devoid of the excitement of "who will go?".

 

[exiledmanccollo]

If I was in there I’d be asking Hancock how many excess deaths to date occurred because of lockdown? People now still can’t get operations and treatment. The economy of effed because they paid people to sit at home and do nothing. I’d also ask him how his pub landlord made £80m off PPE. And I’d ask him why police were locking up old ladies for sitting on benches. What aren’t they asking any of these questions. What the government did to us was horrific and if it was sodding labour in charge they would have had lockdowns for even longer

Last night was boring

The ‘celebs’ in there…..if we can even call them that think it will make them ‘more popular’ with the general public if they dislike Matt and are mean to him. All they care about is how they look to the public…..hilariously it seems to have backfired on them and most will be voted off before Matt back to their irrelevant careers.

I certainly agree that they were all predisposed to dislike Matt based on scoring woke points in the media. The only real exception being Seann who has tried to relate to Matt on a personal level.

But that doesn't excuse the fact that Matt shouldn't be in the jungle in the first place. None of the camp mates appear to have warmed to Matt as a person and I don't think that's just down to woke brownie point scoring.

You have nailed him perfectly

I'd love to see Sue go before Matt

Fingers crossed it will be tonight since she was in the bottom 2 the other night. Chris going would also satisfy me. As much as I don't like BG's behaviour, I'd keep him in for interest. I think Seann is safe at least for tonight and perhaps another few nights, maybe even more. My boyfriend reckons Baba will get to the final but I'm not sure he has the fanbase. Nice enough bloke though and sometimes funny.

Thing is, to get are with him in the flesh and see the real guy,note his body language and probably sense that he is putting in an act and that deep down he thinks they are scum. We only see him on TV for an hour or so. There MUST be something untrustworthy about him for them to be bitching about him so much.
