Here is yet another annoyingly tedious show, that has way outstayed its welcome. Long since now (for me at least) has I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, completely lost its appeal.

In fact; I have hardly watched any of this latest series, since it started

This pointless, and now very much un-entertaining show, which involves and encourages so called celebrities, to undergo gruelling, gruesome and pretty much sadistic bush-tucker trials for the entertainment & gratification, of an equally sadistic public, is now for me at least, way too much to stomach.

Like me; this show is old, knackered, and past it!

I did see a little bit; quite by accident I hasten to add. I saw Martin Roberts (Homes Under The Hammer) and that other fella, oh what's-his-name? That bloke from Emmerdale or is it Corrie?

Adam Thomas! Yeah that's him.

I did see these two putting various insectozoid creatures (or Critters in Aus language) into their mouths to the great amusement of hosts Ant & Dec who by the way; get payed exorbitant amounts of cash for hosting this ghoulish, insect eating, penis munching, grub gulping jungle fest.

As for the celebs; Carole Vorderman, Ola Jordan, Joel Dommett, Larry Lamb (I still snigger to myself whenever I hear that name) Lisa Snowdon, Scarlett Moffatt, Jordan Banjo, Danny Baker, Sam Quek and the rest, of whom I cannot be bothered to remember, who are, or were these people anyway?

I will have forgotten all about them, by Monday morning.

I will have forgotten Ant & Dec too. Don't get me wrong, I do like them, but I must admit, that after nearly three weeks of, "I'm A Celebrity, GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!!" . . .

They were starting to get on my tits.

However all that will probably change when this ever present dynamic duo, return to our screens yet again, to do their bit for ITV's Text Santa, a very noble cause, and the one TV "Charidy", that I am particularly fond of. So I forgive them, for the moment, for those way too often appearances on my TV screen.

I cannot however forgive I'm A Celebrity for (according to the reviews on Kevin O'Sullivan's #YouTheCritic web page) the No-Brainer, no fighting "luvvie-fest" it appears to have had the sheer nerve to turf out this year.

To quote Mr O'Sullivan, "An annoyingly nice bunch of people who are all getting on famously. Which is the last thing we want."

What no tantrums, no bickering, finger pointing, stomping off, no shouting and no swearing? Blimey! I'm glad I missed it.

Bring back Johnny Rotten (aka John Lydon)

Now he knew how to get the party started. He knew how to get people watching, and he also evidently knew how to swear. I remember Dec's face when Johnny said 'Oh you f---- c--- !" on air when he realised he wasn't leaving the camp just yet. Dec's face was a picture. A shame Lydon withdrew, he might of won it.

He would have got my vote.

That was in the days when I'm A Celeb was good telly, when it was pulling almost 12 million viewers at its height. Nowadays this show struggles to get more than 8 million viewers.

And when the ratings start to go down, it's a sure sign that the show is losing its appeal, which can be disastrous.

Just ask Simon Cowell. He knows all about disasters.

And as Scarlett Moffatt was crowned queen of the jungle, I remembered that Ant & Dec have also done a 3 year deal with ITV to do at least three more shows.

So like The X Factor, I'm A Celebrity, lives on for a bit longer. Great. Well then; see you next November lads, I suppose.

In the meantime; and for the last time this year . . .
Let's get out of here!

G'day.

Thanks for reading.
