I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! was thrown into chaos on Monday’s episode (December 2) as a mouse made an unexpected appearance in camp, sending the celebrities into a frenzy. Maura couldn’t hide her shock when she spotted the rodent darting among the cooking equipment and dishes.
The drama intensified when the mouse scurried under her bed, leading to a panicked outburst from the 34-year-old ex-Love Island contestant, who declared: “I’m not really up for a Trial at this time of the night!”
Tulisa aired her grievances about the camp’s upkeep after discovering that remnants of the evening’s fruit had been left out, insisting: “Camp maintenance should be putting everything back in the trunk. They gotta step it up!”
Meanwhile, Melvin enjoyed a peaceful sleep, blissfully ignorant of the nighttime disturbance, and woke up feeling refreshed, saying: “I feel like a new man to be honest!”
Back in the comfort of their homes, viewers quickly took to social media to comment on the rodent escapade. One viewer tweeted: “if i saw those mice id be OUT of the jungle so fast #ImACeleb.” (sic)
Another humorously shared: “I’m not up for a trial at this time of night #ImACeleb.” (sic)
Some expressed their dismay with comments such as: “The mice? ? I’d actually break down, because what do you mean mice are running all over my things? #ImACeleb.” (sic)
Another pointed out the camp duties, questioning: “How is a camp maintenance job to put dishes away. Surely you just do that after washing up #imaceleb.” (sic)
Someone else was empathetic, admitting: “If I saw mice running around I would scream too.”
Furthermore, that morning the camp witnessed Dean becoming the second celebrity to leave I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
His departure brought on a sombre tone among the group, as they were noticeably affected by his leaving. Oti noted, “He just brought us all together, he was the life of the camp.”
Danny, taken aback, remarked: “I thought he was final four, final three!” With Dean gone, his lively spirit was distinctly missing in the camp.
Tulisa reflected: “You can definitely feel that Dean has left the camp. It’s almost a little bit too chilled out, dare I say. Didn’t think I’d ever see the day that I’d be waiting for some musical theatre in the morning!”
In jest, Richard quipped: “Who’s going to not fetch our water now?!”
Hosts Ant and Dec announced the eviction during Sunday night’s show, as reported by the Express, with the decision between the Radio 1 DJ and Irish former boxer Barry McGuigan, reports Plymouth Live.
Upon his exit, the Northern Ireland DJ shared his peace with departing, feeling he had thoroughly embraced the adventure.
Speaking to ITV’s Good Morning Britain on Monday, he shared: “I did it for my mum to make her proud.”
I’m A Celebrity continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV and ITVX.
