Dragons, malaria and fainting: Here are the most unhinged moments in I’m A Celeb history

I’m A Celeb is one of those shows that brings guaranteed chaos every year. No matter who’s in camp, there’s always an argument, a dramatic trial and a disgusting eating challenge that makes everyone at home heave. Here’s a rundown of the most unhinged moments to ever bless I’m A Celeb. It really deserves its crown as the wildest British TV show around!

8. Gillian McKeith fainting to avoid doing a bushtucker trial

Gillian McKeith you will always be famous for fainting to avoid doing a bushtucker trial. It turned you into a national treasure and Gen Z hasn’t forgotten you.

7. The song Peter Andre wrote for camp

Peter Andre being on I’m A Celeb feels like a fever dream, but he certainly made his mark by writing a song for his fellow campmates. He also wowed viewers when he struck up a romance with Katie Price! I can definitely think of nicer, cleaner and more pleasant-smelling places to date someone.

6. Steve Davis falling over before his trial even started

This hilarious moment is often forgotten, but Steve Davis falling into the water before his trial even began was top-tier TV.

5. Every Lady C argument

Lady C was the most chaotic campmate to ever grace I’m A Celeb, and she constantly argued with everyone. We’d need a whole separate ranking to divvy up every time she made someone angry. Duncan Bannatyne and Yvette Fielding certainly gave her a run for her money, but Lady C was as iconic as they come.

4. Gemma Collins’ malaria diagnosis

I’m not sure whether Gemma Collins ever did have malaria on I’m A Celeb but after her many unhinged moments on the show, you’d think so. Gemma gave the jungle a fair shot but it was all too much for her. She’s still a legend in my books.

3. Strawberry-gate

You can’t say you’re an I’m A Celeb fan if you don’t remember strawberry-gate. Amir and Iain committed the ultimate jungle crime by beating the dingo dollar challenge and then eating the reward but telling the camp they had gotten the winning question wrong. Iain couldn’t hide it any longer and confessed the sin, but the camp would never forgive him.

2. The dragon Joey Essex found on the bridge

Joey Essex wowed scientists and explorers when he found a real-life dragon on the I’m A Celeb bridge back to camp. Apparently it’s still roaming the forest, waiting for its next prey. Or waiting for Joey to come back and finish learning how to tell the time.

No contestant will ever be able to top eating a living spider on national television. It was vile, it was brave, and it gave us all shivers in the worst way. I will never again complain about any meal in my life.
