Last night we reported how the I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! 2014 was in turmoil after TOWIE star Gemma Collins flounced and *Coronation Street'*s Craig Charles' future in the jungle looked uncertain following the death of his older brother.
But two new campmates – X Factor's Jake Quickenden and ex-MP Edwina Currie – have joined the jungle, with Jake claiming beforehand that he definitely is a single man.
However, it was only a few weeks ago that Jake had been talking about his girlfriend, though he's since told The Sun that they've been broken up for about a month.
"I am currently single. We broke up about a month ago. I just really want to concentrate on my career now," he said.
"But if there was a dream girl in the jungle you never know."
Jake, who just turned 26 in September, might even find himself attracted to Melanie Sykes. Hell, WE'RE attracted to her too – just look at those bad-ass arms and her no-nonsense approach to tasks. But he does say he's not necessarily looking for the same kind of lady.
"I haven’t necessarily got a type. I love a MILF every now and then," he continued.
And fear not, those of you who came to worship at the altar of Jake Quickenden's abs: there WILL be plenty of nakedness for your viewing pleasure.
"I love nudity. I was always naked on the* X Factor*. Course I will get nude in the shower," he added.
Huzzah!

"People are going to see the real bare, stripped-back me. I might just become Bear Grylls, you never know."We never did get to see Gemma chowing down on a raw snake, drinking her own urine or sleeping inside a rancid camel (yep, Bear Grylls has seriously done all of those things).

"Yeah alright, I've cracked at the first hurdle. It's like the turtle and the slug or the horse and the rabbit or something, I can't remember what it is."Who could forget the age-old story of the turtle and the slug?

"If they don’t give us a treat I’m going to kill myself.”Well, the suicide threats didn’t work, but outside of the jungle is a plentiful world of treats just waiting for Gem.

"I feel like I’ve got malaria. My poo is bright fluorescent yellow, we’ve got to get out of here today.”Symptoms of malaria do not include yellow poo, constant whinging or an Essex accent, sorry Gem.

"Seriously, I'd give anything for a bit of dried fruit. Dried fruit! I'm not even asking for a ham sandwich. You know what I mean? With a packet of Quavers on the side."We’re not sure dried fruit is the best remedy for fluorescent yellow diarrhea Gem, maybe just stick to dry bread and water until the ‘malaria’ clears up.

"People that murder get treated better than this, and that's the truth. Even a murderer gets fed three times a day."Murderers also don’t get paid at least £25,000 to go on a jolly holiday to Australia either. They also tend not to have strops and quit their sentences, but who cares about the details….

"If I'm not in that camp in three minutes, I'm quitting."That’s what the helicopter was for, Gem.
