There are hilarious and sometimes jaw-dropping, first-hand accounts from the stars that were there including Big Brother narrator Marcus Bentley, Geordie Shore’s Nathan Henry, Casey Batchelor, Lady Colin Campbell and chef Antony Worrall Thompson who lead a revolt with the I’m a Celeb campmates leaving Ant & Dec in jungle chaos.
Highlights include Lee Otway who talks exclusively on TV for the first time about his very public Celebrity Love Island meltdown which left him struggling to find work as an actor for years to come. Mother of the late Jade Goody, Jackiey Budden, opens up in a rare TV interview about the Celebrity Big Brother race row that made the headlines worldwide and left the them both unable to leave their homes. Plus Ex on the Beach star Che McSorley recalls how a leaked sex tape, which surfaced online, turned her life upside down.
