I’m A Celebrity is back for another action packed episode as camp is left divided once again. The jungle show is back on ITV tonight, as the new Rivals format continues to play out.
It was revealed that the celebrities would be paired up and would be taking on some big challenges against one another. Tonight, Aitch and Ginge will take on the latest challenge against one another – as rivalry runs deep.
Family and friends have started to arrive Down Under, with Lisa Riley’s fiancé the latest to touch down. After she confessed on having a secret crush on “juicy” Ant McPartlin, her partner of 11 years Al insists he has no concerns.
“There is no business like showbusiness, right? It’s all good. I have no fears of her letting me go,” he said, before revealing he was very proud of her. He added: “I am very proud of her, it’s a big surprise. I am looking forward to meeting up with her again, hopefully not the first one out. Hopefully at the end.”
Elsewhere, Jack Osbourne’s wife has touched down in Australia amid worries it was “too soon” for Jack to be in the jungle after his dad Ozzy’s death. Aree said: “I think it’s kind of a funny time to be doing something like this, but it’s helpful.”
This live blog has now ended.
We’ll see you again tomorrow for some more drama from the jungle – including the first vote-off!
In the meantime, we’ll leave you with this iconic moment from tonight’s show!

Your cake or mine challenge
Next up was another rivals challenge – this time to win a cupcake.

Shona won her cupcake over Alex, with Tom winning over Ruby. Next was Jack and Eddie, with Jack winning and Vogue took on Kelly again, with Vogue coming out on top.
Ginge took on Aitch with the rapper winning his cupcake and in Lisa versus Martin, it was Lisa who won her cupcake.

As the rest of the camp talked about engagements, Shona and Tom headed off to do the washing up. She admitted that she struggled to be part of the conversation as she’d just broken up with her fiancé before coming into the jungle.
When she admitted she didn’t know what to say, Tom told her: “I think you’ve done a really sensible thing.”
Shona also revealed she really wanted a family and to be a wife, as she got emotional.

Kelly’s engagement revelation
It was then onto Kelly to discuss her own life, where she revealed she had been engaged five times before she met her husband.
She admitted that Jeremy “never really proposed”, as she shared: “I think he was petrified in the past, that because of all the engagements I’d had that it was the beginning of the end.”
She said it was her who mentioned marriage, with Martin revealing that his wife Shirlie did the same.
“I never proposed to her in a way, I was kind of putting it off and putting it off,” he said.

He said: “I’ve been proposed to off a fan, at a meet and greet. She got on one knee and I said go on then, put the ring on, gave her a hug and all that it was cute but unfortunately I never saw her again.”
Aitch also admitted he’d “100%” like to get married amid rumours of a connection between him and Shona.

Fight to the finish
Both struggled to find a key to unlock a matching padlock and it was Aitch who sabotaged Ginge first. Ginge managed to find two padlocks and unlock them, whilst Aitch was still trying his first.
Aitch managed to sabotage again and during this time, Aitch unlocked his first padlock. The sabotage music went again twice and Aitch got both, leaving Ginge realing.
It was neck and neck, as Aitch and Ginge raced to the finish. It was Aitch who won, taking home six meals for his campmates back at Doomsville. Ginge and those at Win City were left with rice and beans.

Fix claims!
During the trial, Ant and Dec watched on as Ginge took on Aitch in the trial!

Aitch vs Ginge
It was decided that Aitch and Ginge would take on one another in the Pits challenge.
Ant and Dec were there to explain that the aim of the game was to escape their pit first. They needed to find the keys to unlock their escape hatch, crawl through the tunnel and ring the bell outside.

There was also a chance to sabotage their opponent. When they heard music, they could press the red button in one of the hell holes to turn off the lights in their opponents pit for 15 seconds.

Camps reunite
Doomsville headed over to the Win City camp to find out who would be taking on the challenges.
It was down to former camp leader Aitch to give a pep talk as he told his fellow Doomsville campmates: “Not one single sign of weakness, because it takes strong people to stay in this camp!”
The show’s hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly made a comment about them being ‘cosy’ (

Rivalry beds in
In rival camps Win City and Doomsville, the celebrities were having very different experiences.
Of being in Win City, Jack said: “It’s very quiet around here, very, it’s really nice just to have a quiet camp and just to be mellow with everyone.”
In Doomsville, Martin added: “Sleeping on the floor just hurts you physically, it’s not the nicest thing in the world because your hips are out of place, your knees hurt, so get me out of here!”
Tom noted the beautiful sounds – but the tough sleeping conditions, adding: “We are very very proximate to the babbling brook, so it does lull you very quickly, however I’ve never been more tired than I am waking here.”

Romance revealed
Talk is strong about a potential romance between Aitch and Shona McGarty!
The pair have looked cosy recently, with fans and friends convinced there could be a spark between them. Shona arrived in the jungle single, having split from her famous musician fiancé David Bracken. Aitch was later confirmed to be single.
He later told Ginge: “I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for Shona, me.” Ginge teased him back to say: “I think she’s really nice, if that’s what you mean?” Aitch then smiled and said: “Yeah, that’s what I mean.”
