'Celebrity' contestants set up camp
Sunday 15 November 2009
The 11 stars found out who they would be living with when they enjoyed fruit cocktails and canapes on a luxury yacht - but they were soon facing their first dilemma.
The group was asked to choose one man and one woman to jump into the sea and swim to a nearby island where they would spend the night and face the first challenge.
Undecided, they drew straws and the losers were former glamour model Sam Fox and chef Gino D'Acampo, who jumped into the water while the other celebrities headed back to their hotels for one last night of luxury.
Meanwhile, Fox and D'Acampo spent the night on camp beds.
The next morning the pair tested their nerve against crabs, an octopus, water spiders and eels to win food and beds for the celebrity camp.
The nine remaining celebrities found themselves split into teams as they made their way to the camp which will be their home for the next three weeks.
Snooker player Jimmy White, dancer Camilla Dallerup, former Hollyoaks actor Stuart Manning and interior designer Justin Ryan were given horses and told to get trekking.
Ryan's TV partner Colin McAllister, actress Lucy Benjamin and former Mis-teeq singer Sabrina Washington were taken up in a plane but were then told they had to jump out at 12,000ft.
While Benjamin and Washington panicked, McAllister joked, 'this is better than Botox'.
The final two celebrities, actor George Hamilton and How Clean Is Your House? presenter Kim Woodburn, were told to make their way to camp on foot.
* The ninth series of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! starts on TV3 & ITV1 at 9pm tonight.
