model Nell McAndrew may have been Lara Croft but
she has not been able to escape the judgment of
the public. It was curtains for the Tomb Raider
girl when she became the fifth person to be evicted
from ITV1's celebrity survivor. In true style,
the biscuit-loving blonde said nothing controversial
on her exit. "I have had a really nice time and
I have really enjoyed being with you all," she
declared. Her only grumbles were that she thought
the fortnight in the Aussie jungle would be more
physically demanding.
She also
found society girl Tara Palmer-Tomkinson's need
for attention tiresome. "At the beginning everyone
was shouting over each other and I just let them
get on with that," she said. "I suppose a lot
of it was boredom." Meanwhile, Tara was once again
the most entertaining celebrity survivor. She
revealed the pain of her drugs rehabilitation
to Christine Hamilton. Tara, who had been addicted
to alcohol and cocaine, said: "I overdosed and
I did need serious help to get my heart going
again. "I still have terrible nightmares, I have
'using' dreams and I get coke psychosis... and
my short-term memory has gone."
DJ Tony
Blackburn has emerged as the favourite to win
I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! The veteran
entertainer has impressed the public with his
honesty and level-headedness. He has become known
as the Log Man, having collected three types of
wood for the campfire. He admitted he would like
to stay as long as possible and would love to
win the contest. Viewers saw him dress up as a
woman in the latest task for contestants.
