Two new celebrities for jungle camp
Thursday 20 November 2008
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.

- House
Can you believe it? It's the last ever episode of House. Eight seasons of medical conundrums, acerbic wit, questionable managerial style, drug addictions, psychiatric help, ill-fated romances, plus a prison sentence to boot, resulted in Dr Gregory House becoming one of TV's most memorable characters. The role nabbed Hugh Laurie a brace of Golden Globes plus a slate of Emmy nominations, catapulting the former Blackadder star to meteoric fame. At its peak, House was watched by 81.8 million people in 66 countries. Fittingly titled 'Everybody Dies' to bookend the 2004 pilot 'Everybody Lies', this emotional final prescription sees House examine his life and personal demons as he treats a drug-addicted patient (guest star James LeGros). Plus, former stars Jennifer Morrison, Olivia Wilde and Amber Tamblyn return; as does Kal Penn, who resumes his role as Kutner, the man who took his own life in Season Five. Dr Greg, we salute you!
