Vicki Michelle was the fourth celebrity to be evicted from the jungle on Thursday night's episode of I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!. The comedy actress, who leaped into the spotlight as Yvette Carte-Blanche in the iconic 1980s comedy 'Allo 'Allo, faced her fears alongside the likes Edwina Currie and Kendra Wilkinson in the jungle reality show. Here are her jungle highlights…
How are you feeling, Vicki?
"I will never forget my jungle experience, but it feels fabulous to be out in the real world. It was much harder than I thought it would be - but in a weird, sadistic, masochistic way it was fun. We were living in a rainforest. I woke up every morning thinking, 'I'm living a life that I'd never have at home'."
How would you sum up your jungle experience?

Melanie Sykes and Kendra Wilkinson took on the latest Bushtucker Trial Critter Conveyor on tonight's I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here (December 5).
Mel volunteered to take part in the challenge straight away, saying: "I'm itching to get out of camp. I haven't done a trial for ages."
As Foggy and Jake did yesterday's Dingo Dollar Challenge, and Tinchy did the previous trial, Foggy suggested two of the girls should do today's trial.
Mel added that she really wanted to do it with Kendra, and Kendra happily obliged.
Edwina was certain she'd complete the task successfully, adding: "If Mel wants to do it, Mel can do it. Mel led the talk, Mel led the offers and Mel got it, and it was Mel's idea that Kendra should come too. We're all happy with that."

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! stars Edwina Currie and Jake Quickenden got to play dress-up during the latest Dingo Dollar challenge.
The pair took on the roles of spider and a Venus fly trap in an insect-collecting mini-task.
"A hungry venus fly trap, is waiting way up high, for its favourite tasty snack, a pesky jungle fly," Jake read aloud.
"The spider's web is holding, the plants beloved stash, throw them up to feed the trap, to win the precious cash."
Edwina began to unbutton her shirt, much to the surprise of Jake, who asked her if she was stripping already.
"You've got to do something for the show, haven't you?" the former MP joked.
Having spotted the costumes, the two then tried to decide who would make a better thrower (spider) and who was better at catching (the fly trap).

Vicki Michelle is the fourth celebrity to have been voted out of the I'm a Celebrity jungle.
She follows Michael Buerk who left yesterday (December 3).
The fourth vote-off came down to Vicki and Kendra but the 'Allo 'Allo actress was announced as the next to leave.
Speaking to Ant & Dec, Vicki said it feels "fabulous" to be out but said she will "miss the eye candy - Foggy and Jake in their pants in the morning!"
When asked about the cooking situation and near arguments with Melanie Sykes taking charge, she added: "I found it frustrating, not having an input. I cook all the time at home. The trouble is Mel likes to do it all and that became difficult. If you voiced something different there was then a tension which there shouldn't be.

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! stars Kendra Wilkinson and Vicki Michelle got emotional in tonight's show after receiving letters from home.
The duo had missed out on notes earlier in the show, but Carl Fogarty and Jake Quickenden won the messages in the latest Dingo Dollar challenge.
The 'Spelling Bee' test saw Foggy and Jake dressing up as bees in a slippery area with letters.
They were shown pictures and had to find the letters to correctly spell the words. If they got it right, they could move on, but if they got it wrong they received electric shocks.
Foggy admitted that his costume was "embarrassing", and things were about to get worse as they misspelled the word "koala".
Despite difficulties remembering the name of a baby kangaroo - "It is Joey because in Friends Joey put 'baby kangaroo' at the end of his letter," Jake said...

Veteran broadcaster Michael Buerk managed 19 days in the jungle camp of I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! During his stint in the reality show, we saw Buerk twerk, rap and sing - and one of the many highlights would have to be his giant cockatoo impression for a particularly barmy Dingo Dollar Challenges. Here are the 60-year-old's jungle highlights…
How does it feel to be out of the jungle?
"I'm very, very pleased to be out. You wouldn't believe the relief! It's been absolutely wonderful to see my wife and to get back to reality. You talk a lot about food in the jungle - but missing my wife, my family and news of the family was the killer for me in there. You feel very isolated in the jungle."

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! stars Kendra Wilkinson and Jake Quickenden got dirty during the latest Dingo Dollar challenge... as Kendra joked that she was risking a "yeast infection".
The pair took part in the Time Is Money challenge, which saw them facing a selection of clocks and a smelly swamp.
They needed to work out the time on each of the clocks to win their Dingo Dollars, but the clues they needed were hidden at the bottom of the swamp.
It was difficult from the very start, as Jake admitted: "I'm not the best at telling the time. I usually use a digital watch."
And the stink of the swamp didn't help either, as Kendra sighed: "Hands down the worst smell I've ever smelled in my entire life is right there... I'll get a yeast infection."
The duo actually ended up sticking grass up their noses...

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star Michael Buerk admitted that he looked like a "complete prat" during the latest Dingo Dollar challenge.
During the task, Michael dressed up as a bright red parrot and had to step out on a highwire to press a button on a series of bird houses. Vicki Michelle then had to find the right toy birds on the ground and repeat the pattern of sounds in the correct order.
"I think the grandchildren will think I've gone completely insane," Buerk admitted in his costume. "I discovered in myself a new talent for bird calls, a skill I never knew I had."
The duo worked well together and eventually won the dollars, as Michael joked: "The idea of me dressed as a cockatoo yelling 'hanky panky' at her from 60 yards away did tickle her fancy, I think. I was relieved she did it...

Non-stop flatulence, a dead possum, and being too darn sexy. Are these the most ridiculous I'm a Celebrity fights in the history of the jungle?
After Croc campmates Melanie Sykes and Vicki Michelle bickered over a pencil in last night's show (November 26), we reminisce over some of the silliest spats over the years.
From Brian Harvey's continual wind to Darren Day being too darn sexy - here are 10 absurd jungle rumbles:
1. Darren Day's too sexy for the jungle?
Sizzling sexual chemistry or far too much flatulence? It was almost impossible to keep up with Darren Day and Tara Palmer-Tomkinson's love/hate relationship in the 2002 series.
Palmer-Tomkinson shocked the entire nation as she revealed the root of their tension was all down to Day's unbridled sexiness, shouting: "I'll tell you why I am very uptight. It's because I think you are so f**king sexy."

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! is about to throw a spanner in the works by forcing two stars to stay in the Shed of Dread.
The two unlucky campmates will be told that they are going for a Dingo Dollar Challenge but will actually be taken by helicopter to a secret location.
Once there, they will be forced to spend the night in the Shed of Dread - and of course, they won't be alone, as critters and jungle nasties will be joining them.
But there will be hope, as two of the other campmates will be sent on a rescue mission to release them, with the help of the other stars in camp.
They will be given opportunities to make the unlucky Shed of Dread duo's stay less comfortable, but will they choose to forgo luxuries to spare their campmates?

After the Superbike champion informed his campmates of his find, Quickenden led a search of the cave to try to keep his identity as an agent hidden.

The secret CIA celebrity agents had a successful day in camp, after earning the camp care packages.
Jimmy Bullard, Edwina Currie and Jake Quickenden first had to pick one more celebrity to join their spy agency, and Quickenden thought Kendra Wilkinson was a good bet.
He told the team that if they picked Wilkinson, she would be immune from the next trial, which Currie thought was a very kind thing to do.
The newly formed foursome were then sent off for what the camp thought was a Dingo Dollar Challenge, but was actually an afternoon of pampering in a jungle spa.
As the spies enjoyed their hot tub and mocktails, they listened to a tape telling them that they had to convince the other celebrities that they failed a horrible challenge.
They were also told they needed to persuade another celebrity to wash all of their dirty clothes to win further care packages.

The pair had to answer questions about their fellow campmates during the Money for Old Rope task, with each correct answer taking them on a trail which led to a bag of dingo dollars.

The list of tricky trivia questions included 'How many Superbike World Championships did Carl win?', 'How many episodes of 'Allo 'Allo was Vicki in?', and 'How much did Hull City sign Jimmy for in 2009?'.
The duo began debating and bickering over Jimmy Bullard's transfer fee from Hull City, with Michael relenting and offering to go with Mel's answer.

He also 'starred' in a recent episode of C5's Can't Pay? We'll Take it Away, in which he had his stuff respossessed by bailiffs.

Tinchy Strider, Gemma Collins, Melanie Sykes and Michael Buerk (What?) were all confirmed to be taking part in I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! this afternoon.
But in a few years, will we even remember them? Unless they pull some Paul Burrell or Gillian McKeith-style stunts, frankly it's unlikely.
Why? Because we completely forgot these 9 big names have been there, done that and swallowed the testicles…
9. Neil Ruddock
Long after Razor stopped playing for Liverpool, but before he was taking part in Celebrity Big Brother, we forgot that he came seventh on the ITV show. He also 'starred' in a recent episode of C5's Can't Pay? We'll Take it Away, in which he had his stuff respossessed by bailiffs. So, unlike most celebs, the jungle didn't prove to be the lowest point in Neil's career.

Havers was the Buerk of his day. Not just literally,...

The I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! campmates had to rank how attractive, famous and hardworking they thought they were in a Dingo Dollar challenge.
David Emanuel and Lucy Pargeter were taking part in the task to win a treat for camp.
The pair had to smother themselves in gunk and feathers and retrieve a pile of eggs from under two ostriches.
They then had to create three lineups as to who was the laziest, the most attractive and most famous celebrity left in camp. The others then had to create the same lineup in the camp.
The next category of the hardest working saw arguments with Joey Essex protesting the camp's decision to put him towards the end. He said: "I work well hard, I work very hard in this jungle. I wash dishes, empty the toilet, I do everything. I am nowhere near last."

The I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! stars begged for brownies after failing to win the latest Dingo Dollar challenge.
Joey Essex and Rebecca Adlington took part in the test, which involved putting together a jigsaw and then figuring out a code to release their dingo dollars.
However, Essex was distracted when he saw his first stick insect, as he initially wondered if it was a spider.
"I've never seen one of those in my life," he said. "It actually looks like a stick. It's a ringer if you compared it to some sticks - you'd never tell the difference. It is a stick with legs that moves and now I've seen two of them, it's like stick insect city here."
When Essex and Adlington had completed their challenge, they were thrilled to discover that chocolate brownies were on offer.

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! contestant Vincent Simone went on a scary high-wire challenge to win crumpets for camp - only for the celebrities to lose out after getting a question wrong.
Simone and Kian Egan embarked on the Dingo Dollar challenge together, but were separated by arrows pointing to 'bravery' and 'brains'.
Simone reluctantly chose to go down the 'bravery' path, prompting Egan to joke: "I think he'll scream like a little girl."
The duo then discovered that they were separated by a huge ravine and Simone had to use flags to signal the way to the dingo dollars.
The Strictly Come Dancing professional was forced to walk a high wire over the ravine to a platform, but was so scared that he started shaking and said: "I'm a little bit scared to be honest with you. I'm sweating."
He received support from Egan, who told him: "Keep looking at me,...

Rebecca Adlington came over all teary following a confrontation with Matthew Wright over the cooking of a possum on I'm a Celebrity last night (November 25).
The Olympic swimmer had advised Wright to keep the the fire low to stop the food from burning at the suggestion of Kian Egan, before the broadcaster started frantically gesticulating, saying: "Stop telling me what to do. I know what he wants but I can't do it when every decision I make, you undermine." However, the pair speedily made amends.

I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here stars Steve Davis and David Emanuel have taken on the Dingo Dollar Challenge to win a treat for camp.
The pair were faced with a washing line of clothes, a pool filled with soap suds and a rusty washing machine to help them complete their task of releasing a bag of 'Dingo Dollars' from the appliance.
Emanuel first had to soak the clothes in the water before throwing them up to Davis, who was suspended in a bosun's chair.
The snooker legend then had to wring out the garments into a bucket, which filled up the washing machine to release the prize.
Fashion designer Emanuel was horrified by the clothes used in the task, describing them as "hideous".
He complained: "It was a washing line with ghastly clothes. Not me at all. I'm used to satin, organzas, duchess satin, you name it.

As part of the Dingo Dollar Challenge, the celebrities had to guess who had lost a record two stone and three pounds while in the jungle - Rosemary or Colin Baker. The campmates incorrectly guessed Colin, with Eric saying: "He lost that in 17 days. That's just under two pounds a day. No way could Rosemary have lost that weight in five days less." When they discovered it was in fact Rosemary, Ashley Roberts wondered what Rosemary must have been eating before entering the jungle. Eric said: "She must have been a pig." Charlie Brooks defended her, saying: "Credit where credit is due Eric." He replied: "Credit? She doesn't really look any better with losing all that lot. (more)...

With no promotional video to accompany it, Top of the Pops has enlisted its in-house dance troupe, Legs and Co, to provide a "sensitive interpretation" of the song. As Laurie Anderson sings through a robotic vocoder about the slow death of civilisation, millions of teatime TV-viewers will watch women in space-age costumes emerging from the kind of glowing pods you see in Woody Allen's Sleeper, while a bespectacled dancer goose-steps among them wearing judge's robes.

British culture is going through a blue period, with actors, musicians and artists all happily admitting that they're privately educated Conservative toffs. What happened?
You may have missed it, but early last month, a very telling photograph appeared in the newspapers. Snapped on New Year's Day by a couple out for a walk on Coombe Hill in the Chilterns, it featured a party of eight – including David and Samantha Cameron, education secretary Michael Gove, film director Tim Burton, and the latter's extremely posh other half Helena Bonham Carter. According to subsequent gossip, the latter couple had been introduced to the Camerons by Bonham Carter's one-time Westminster school contemporary Nick Clegg. Others suggest that the two couples have been friends for years.
The group had reportedly stayed at Chequers, the prime minister's country retreat, on New Year's Eve – where the conversation doubtless turned to Bonham Carter's role in The King's Speech,...

Pineapple Dance Studios was last year’s smash hit. Lifting the lid on life at the iconic London location, the fly-on-the-wall series racked up the column inches and became the talk of telly land. No one was immune to its charms, including the critics – The Guardian said: “It’s the cleverest thing on TV by a front pike somersault and forward jazz-roll.” Plus, a star was born in the form of Louie Spence, a pint-sized diva with a wicked wit and a penchant for flashing the flesh.
This year Sky 1 has set its sights higher for this eagerly anticipated follow-up which will feature stunning Busby Berkeley style dance break-outs. Showbusiness will see Louie undertake a mission to put together a revue show in the West End. Having hired a production office and theatre space, the prima donna must now cast his entertainment extravaganza with performers who have the ability to make jaws hit the floor.

“I created it using my own recipe. We’re hoping to get it into the shops soon.

World cinema festivals might be more common these days, but this one shows you the parts of the globe British festivals don't reach, ie: the French post-colonial landscape. There's quality cinema here from north and west Africa, south-east Asia and the Middle East, much of it produced with French support. Whisper With The Wind is set in Iraq, mind you, and deals with a clandestine radio messenger, while Brazil's The Famous And The Dead is a dreamy Bob Dylan-themed thriller. Closer to home there's London River, in which Brenda Blethyn and Malian actor Sotigui Kouyaté play parents brought together by the 7/7 bombings.

“We’re both so excited the show’s started,” Dec told The Sun. “George Hamilton’s one we’ve got our eye on and we might have some fun with Kim Woodburn as well, but you never know with I’m A Celebrity. No-one would ever have thought [on last year's show that] David Van Day would be the funniest thing on TV.”
The pair also chatted about the show’s first challenge, which saw one man and one woman swim through shark infested water to a nearby island.
“They drew straws to decide who should go overboard, and two of them weren’t best pleased,” Dec said. “That’s why we love doing this show. The surprises.”...
