We love: 'Dr' Gillian on I'm a Celebrity

We have moved to a new site. Do come and visit us! www.thewomensroomblog.com

As you know, I have a serious reality TV addiction and may have to get it seen to at some point, but for the next couple of weeks at least, I will be glued to the new series of I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here and I don't care if you judge me!

Amanda has developed somewhat of an addiction too and while we realise it is mean to laugh at other people rather than with them, that is more or less the whole point of the show and let's face it, they do ask for it. So we are totally loving Dr (dubious term) Gillian McKeith's antics in the new series. The main reason being, if you stuck either of us (or in fact most people) in the jungle surrounded by unknown insects, hideous lovers of Cheeky Girls and Playboy bunnies we would be screaming, crying and moaning just as much as her.

We love the way she shreeks (Catherine Tate style) when anything moves, and is in a state of constant anxiety about the prospect of encountering any kind of creature. She declared on the first programme that she has 'a series phobia of insects' (who hasn't), so one has to wonder why she would actually put herself through the agony of appearing on a show featuring every kind of huge creepy crawly you could ever imagine. But we are glad she did, as we havent seen anything so funny in ages.

We did feel really sorry for her last night when she shuffled over the bridge like a reallife Mrs Overall (I've always said that bridge looks scary) only to freak out so much during a trial, that she had to be given oxygen! Of course the British public being the kind and caring people that they are, then voted for her to do tonights trial too!!

Next series though, they have to get my best friend to appear, cos if you think Gillian is hilarious around insects you really haven't seen anything!!

I'm sure all those overweight women she bullied in her show will be pressing the redial button..

I had resolved not to watch it this year, but caved in after only one show, and am now hooked. You don't reckon she's putting it on, all that shrieking, just for the show?
Why don't men scream like that do you think, is it down to social conditioning?

Jude, I am beginning to think that might be the case.....how come she didn't freak about the rats yesterday? it was only when Lembik rang the bell she freaked.....perhaps that's a bit mean....Ax

I am well known in my family for loving all the programs I am really too old (53) to watch - Celebrity anything, essex,bb, X, Strictly and as for my deep love of Take That - don't get me started! Funny because I look quite normal on the outside!!! This new series of Celebrity and my namesake Dr Gillian is just too hilarious for words so I def will not judge you for watching!!!!
