Speaker 1: It's in the news today, but it was actually on
Speaker 1: TV Reload, the podcast past deep theline. Welcome back, guys
Speaker 1: to TV Reload. My name is Benjamin Norris and this
Speaker 1: is your podcast to get all the inside goss on
Speaker 1: the popular TV shows you may be watching from around
Speaker 1: the world. Undeniably, our TV sets are a major part
Speaker 1: of our home entertainment, and yet very little is known
Speaker 1: about how our favorite shows get made. So each week
Speaker 1: I've been getting guests that want to dive just that
Speaker 1: little bit deeper into the shows they're currently making so
Speaker 1: that you can get all their exclusive stories and gain
Speaker 1: access to the biggest names in Australian television. I want
Speaker 1: to thank you for downloading or subscribing to this podcast
Speaker 1: however you are finding it. I love hearing your feedback,
Speaker 1: so make sure you leave a review or a comment
Speaker 1: on your chosen podcast platform. On today's podcast, I am
Speaker 1: lucky enough to be chatting to the first eliminated ladies
Speaker 1: from I'm a Celebrity, Get Me out of Here. I
Speaker 1: have contestant Bianca Hunt, most notable for her work on
Speaker 1: Indigenous to Strand television and as a TV presenter, and
Speaker 1: the delightful an Apollo view, who is an award winning
Speaker 1: pastry chef who you might have already known as we've
Speaker 1: seen her on quite a number of cooking shows. Both
Speaker 1: girls will chat to me about their time in the jungle.
Speaker 1: I will talk about the controversial Kerry Anne and whether
Speaker 1: Bianca had any demands going in. I will also awkwardly
Speaker 1: unpack Anna's girl crush on Dom and why the two
Speaker 1: connected so hard during their time on the show. I
Speaker 1: will also talk about dick O, Woody, Nick, Pete and
Speaker 1: Harry and find out who is the most popular man
Speaker 1: inside the show. I will also have some interesting questions
Speaker 1: about hierarchy and whether the celebs with more fame have
Speaker 1: a bigger advantage. And I'll also ask some interesting questions
Speaker 1: about whether or not we should be voting for charities
Speaker 1: over personalities. Plus, we will get plenty of exclusives from
Speaker 1: behind the scenes if I'm a Celebrity twenty twenty three,
Speaker 1: which is delighting fans on Channel ten, which you can
Speaker 1: now catch up on if you've been missing it on
Speaker 1: ten play at your convenience. Anyway, let's bring Bianchor into
Speaker 1: the podcast first and then stick around for Anna, who'll
Speaker 1: be coming up straight after. Anyway, I hope you enjoy
Speaker 1: part one of this first eliminated chat for twenty twenty three. Hi,
Speaker 1: bi Ancha, how are you Hi.
Speaker 2: I'm well, I've had my coffee or maybe two copies
Speaker 2: of my day, so I'm buzzing'.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: We'll see how she goes in a few hours.
Speaker 1: Congratulations on your time in the jungle. I loved watching
Speaker 1: you in there. Did you have a lot of fun?
Speaker 2: Thank you?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I did.
Speaker 2: I think for the first few days slash week, I
Speaker 2: was kind of like, oh what am I doing here?
Speaker 2: But that was definitely the energy of everyone in there.
Speaker 2: Because of course it was a massive adjustment. It's not
Speaker 2: something that I'm very used to. I don't camp, you know,
Speaker 2: been camping like twice in my life, so that's for me.
Speaker 2: You know, we're there, well, in there for seventeen days,
Speaker 2: so for me to like figure it out that long
Speaker 2: was pretty incredible on my behalf.
Speaker 3: But yeah, it was.
Speaker 2: It was a blessing, Like honestly, yeah, once in a
Speaker 2: lifetime kind of spot to be in that space and
Speaker 2: to be with everyone and just really detox from all
Speaker 2: things general life.
Speaker 1: Well, people can't see this because this is a podcast,
Speaker 1: but you look fucking gorgeous, Like, I don't know whether
Speaker 1: we all need to go and spend some time in
Speaker 1: the jungle, but good lord, good lord, friend, I have
Speaker 1: to ask you. One of my favorite questions to ask
Speaker 1: people is, now that you've been out of the jungle,
Speaker 1: what sort of feedback has surprised you since you've been
Speaker 1: out of there once you've spoken to say friends and
Speaker 1: family and had a look on, say, social media, has
Speaker 1: there been in a thing that sort of surprised you
Speaker 1: about what people are saying about your time in there.
Speaker 3: So I haven't.
Speaker 2: I'm not the sort of person that looked at comments
Speaker 2: regardless if they're positive or negative. It's probably just like
Speaker 2: the best thing for me from a mental health kind
Speaker 2: of point of view to just like not engage in those.
Speaker 2: So what I did engage with was my mate and
Speaker 2: just kind of getting their input and insight. And there
Speaker 2: was a lot of love. There was a lot of
Speaker 2: colorful words of me not saying anything to them and
Speaker 2: being like, hello, we would have loved to be like
Speaker 2: celebrating this and knowing before so we could get around it.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, yeah, but that's the whole suspense, that's
Speaker 2: the surprise of it. And you know, they knew I
Speaker 2: had a project coming up. The good thing about being
Speaker 2: in the TV industry is that you can say you
Speaker 2: have a project and they're going to assume it's something
Speaker 2: to do with, you know, a show of production or whatever.
Speaker 2: They never want to know what it is. So yeah,
Speaker 2: it was. It was really good, really positive feedback from
Speaker 2: my mate. So yeah, I couldn't couldn't hope.
Speaker 1: For anything else when you get the phone call to
Speaker 1: go and do something like this. You know, Kerry and
Speaker 1: Kelly were saying that, you know, she wanted to have
Speaker 1: her makeup. Did you try and suggest anything. Did you
Speaker 1: try and say, okay, great, thank you for asking, I
Speaker 1: am thinking about doing it, but X, Y and Z
Speaker 1: did you have any requirements?
Speaker 2: So I fully wanted to commit to the process of
Speaker 2: being in the jungle. From what I've seen of the
Speaker 2: shows in the years, like I didn't even think about Contraband,
Speaker 2: Like I really was, like, this is the first opportunity
Speaker 2: I've had over the last four years of me being
Speaker 2: in this industry where I can be myself completely. I
Speaker 2: don't think everyone got to see the complete sides of me, unfortunately,
Speaker 2: but you know, there's that I didn't have to wear makeup.
Speaker 2: You saw my natural hair, like in general, all that
Speaker 2: sort of stuff, So I really wanted to commit to that.
Speaker 2: And yeah, there's not a point now, I know, going
Speaker 2: on screen that I wouldn't have makeup on. So you know,
Speaker 2: it's like I really wanted to commit to that kind
Speaker 2: of effort. And you know, like, of course Terran committed
Speaker 2: to putting that into a contract, and I was like,
Speaker 2: you know what, sometimes people need you know that as
Speaker 2: a vice, and that's so fine. I would have loved
Speaker 2: to know, you know why, But you know, we didn't
Speaker 2: get that, and that's fine. But outside of that, I
Speaker 2: just really really wanted to commit to, yeah, just being there,
Speaker 2: being present, being myself and allowing people to kind of
Speaker 2: just get to know me in my natural state.
Speaker 1: What was it like, I mean, you know, yes, you're
Speaker 1: saying that you want to commit to it, but then
Speaker 1: it's another whole thing entirely to be in there.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: Was it much harder than you thought it was going
Speaker 1: to be or was it just as rough as you expected?
Speaker 3: A bit of both.
Speaker 2: So it's like I knew it was going to be rough,
Speaker 2: like we're going to obviously, like in the sense that
Speaker 2: we you know, we didn't have to creach comfort that
Speaker 2: we normally have obviously, like the bed. To me, it
Speaker 2: was fine to others might a bit.
Speaker 3: Of it painful for them.
Speaker 2: I didn't mind being as sleeperback, I didn't mind being outside.
Speaker 2: I actually really enjoyed it. I loved hearing nature and
Speaker 2: being in nature, which was an interesting one for me
Speaker 2: because normally it's a little bit different, like I could
Speaker 2: be a little bit more like, oh, I don't know, it's.
Speaker 3: A little bit you know.
Speaker 2: I'm hearing too many things and I'm feeling too many
Speaker 2: bugs on me. But outside of that, like the detoxes
Speaker 2: are incredibly real. The food being taken away, like not
Speaker 2: having sugar, not having like it's very minimal carbs, sort
Speaker 2: of you know, protein, all of that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2: You're not eating as much as you normally would. That
Speaker 2: very much hit. But once they kind of got over that. Honestly,
Speaker 2: it was just that sort of thing where we're like, okay,
Speaker 2: we're in here, like we're used to this, this is
Speaker 2: our norm now. Yeah, so I kind of got really
Speaker 2: used to it, and then like by the time I
Speaker 2: got really used to it or kicked out, so there you.
Speaker 1: Go, like all right, it's all over.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: Do you think back to my phone, thank you.
Speaker 1: Give me my phone back right now?
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Do you think that the level of how well people
Speaker 1: are known is a bit of an unfair disadvantage with
Speaker 1: some celebs who may not have had as many big headlines.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, I mean it's an interesting one because of
Speaker 2: course I knew coming into this I was a new innate,
Speaker 2: so that side of things was not, I guess, like
Speaker 2: a surprising one to me. Like, of course, like some
Speaker 2: of them, I've either like pick or I brought up
Speaker 2: watching you know, and I was idle when he you know,
Speaker 2: again there's some cultural words and was a very known
Speaker 2: judge for what for what he did, and some of
Speaker 2: the others like Pete and and all of that. I
Speaker 2: wasn't familiar with deb very much. Like there was a
Speaker 2: lot of people in there that actually wasn't familiar of
Speaker 2: So it was just good to be in there and
Speaker 2: get to know everyone. I guess in a very like
Speaker 2: I know bits and pieces of you, but I really
Speaker 2: just want to get to know you. So I think
Speaker 2: that was like a really good benefit. Of course, when
Speaker 2: we're in there, we don't know what's being talked about
Speaker 2: what's going to air, what conversations are kind of happening.
Speaker 2: So I think that's the biggest one that you can't
Speaker 2: really control, is you're having all of these conversations and
Speaker 2: not everything's going to go to air. So yeah, I
Speaker 2: think it could be an advantage. I guess if someone
Speaker 2: was trying to bring back a narrative, maybe they had,
Speaker 2: you know, what Zigo had of the typical, you know,
Speaker 2: nasty judge sort of energy.
Speaker 1: A redemption story.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you have that kind of conversation, whereas for me,
Speaker 2: I'm continuing to build my career and be in this space.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it is definitely a different approach. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I didn't feel like there was any of those like
Speaker 2: negative thoughts towards it. Like I was incredibly embraced both,
Speaker 2: you know, the people in there. Some of the people
Speaker 2: in there were familiar with my work anyway, so it
Speaker 2: was just like, yeah, I don't know, like you just
Speaker 2: never know who watches what you do. So it was
Speaker 2: kind of just good that the people that knew me
Speaker 2: and the ones that didn't got.
Speaker 3: To know me better.
Speaker 1: Absolutely. You know, I've been watching this sort of trying
Speaker 1: to read between the lines. Everyone's getting along very well,
Speaker 1: which is great television. But do you think some of
Speaker 1: these bigger egos that are in there that it's going
Speaker 1: to really cut their cut to the bone if they
Speaker 1: don't win. My question is, are there people in there
Speaker 1: that are going to be really upset if they don't win?
Speaker 3: Absolutely?
Speaker 2: I think that's it's so. I mean, if I think
Speaker 2: about myself, you know, coming into it, I absolutely felt
Speaker 2: like I had more gas in the tank that I
Speaker 2: could keep going, and I didn't feel like I got
Speaker 2: to show as much of me as I could have.
Speaker 2: So if that's how I am, and you know, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, like I knew I had more, I
Speaker 2: could have absolutely kept going. If that's kind of where
Speaker 2: I'm at, I couldn't imagine how it would.
Speaker 3: Be for the people that came in.
Speaker 2: Incredibly fast, loud, very used to reality television, very used
Speaker 2: to that.
Speaker 3: Sort of energy.
Speaker 2: I'm used to interviewing people, I'm used to hosting things.
Speaker 2: It's a very different approach to being in a group
Speaker 2: of twelve, thirteen, fourteen people at any given time. So
Speaker 2: I definitely think that there will be a hard kind
Speaker 2: of processing because no matter what, like, I don't think
Speaker 2: anyone was really ready for a elimination, let alone a
Speaker 2: double elimination. And to be honest, like Anna and I
Speaker 2: were you know, good mates in there, but we did
Speaker 2: hold a really good space in terms of the camp.
Speaker 2: So to know how that works now will be super interesting.
Speaker 2: And no matter what, everyone's charities were incredibly like worthy
Speaker 2: of you know of that of winning as well as
Speaker 2: you know of course the person. But yeah, it would
Speaker 2: be interesting to see how how people react when they
Speaker 2: if they get kicked out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it can be very hard before you go. Something
Speaker 1: I ask everyone who joins the podcast is what's something
Speaker 1: from behind the scenes, something that we did not see,
Speaker 1: something that maybe fans would love to know, kind of
Speaker 1: like a bit of a behind the scenes secret to
Speaker 1: your time in the jungle.
Speaker 3: Ooh, behind the scene secret.
Speaker 2: It's so interesting because again I'm not sure like one
Speaker 2: hundred percent what we showed because they've only had like
Speaker 2: a few hours to kind of get across what's happened.
Speaker 2: But I think they might not have seen how well,
Speaker 2: like I think you would see how well we clicked together.
Speaker 2: But it was a genuinely strong cust like everyone in
Speaker 2: there was actually so kind. What you see is what
Speaker 2: you get, Like if you saw really strong relationships. That's
Speaker 2: just how it was, which I'm proud that that was
Speaker 2: kind of the way that we were and it wasn't
Speaker 2: just putting on a show or anything like that. Like
Speaker 2: everyone did get along really well and we connected very quickly.
Speaker 2: And yeah, like some some people didn't get as much
Speaker 2: time in there, and and some will have a crazy
Speaker 2: amount more, but there was nothing that really stood out,
Speaker 2: like until I watched back what's happened?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know, I actually thought you did very well.
Speaker 1: And I also think that, you know, you, unlike some
Speaker 1: of the others, are at the beginning of your career.
Speaker 1: I feel like we're going to get to see a
Speaker 1: lot more of you after this as well. I think
Speaker 1: it's great that this is sort of up to the
Speaker 1: antie of making you more of a household name. I've
Speaker 1: loved watching you in there, and I'll be in your audience,
Speaker 1: So I just want to say thank you for being
Speaker 1: so amazing and for being so generous and chatting with
Speaker 1: me this morning.
Speaker 2: Of course, thank you so much, and thank you so
Speaker 2: much for watching and engaging and coming into my audience now.
Speaker 1: It's so nice to Yeah, yes, obsessed with you. I've
Speaker 1: got the tea shirt.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 1: So much energy from Bianca, which I love. Some interesting
Speaker 1: thoughts on fame and if that is playing into the
Speaker 1: voting in any way. Anyway, let's bring Anna into the podcast.
Speaker 1: I hope you enjoy Part two of this first eliminated
Speaker 1: chat for twenty twenty three. Hi Anna, how are you?
Speaker 3: Ben?
Speaker 4: I am fantastic, A little bit upset, you know, I
Speaker 4: didn't want to leave so early. I mean, at one
Speaker 4: stage I was thinking about staying and getting escorted out
Speaker 4: by security. But I don't know that was going to
Speaker 4: be or bad TV. So I decided to do the
Speaker 4: right thing and follow the rules and leap.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I once didn't get asked to do a reality show
Speaker 1: that I wanted to do, and I was going to
Speaker 1: do the other thing, which was just turn up and
Speaker 1: just be like hey, and so maybe if you haven't
Speaker 1: had your celebrity fix, you could just turn up again
Speaker 1: next year.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Can you imagine me trying to jump the face to
Speaker 3: getting there?
Speaker 1: People all have thought about doing that, I'm sure, yeah,
Speaker 1: one hundred percent.
Speaker 3: I mean, what an experience. I loved it. It was great.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm excited to be talking to you because I
Speaker 1: loved you on Snack Masters and other shows. But this
Speaker 1: this must have been really challenging for you compared to
Speaker 1: some of those other TV roles you've had.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was just out of my comfort zone, and I.
Speaker 4: Think me going in there was always about feeling uncomfortable.
Speaker 4: That was a challenge for me. I didn't want to
Speaker 4: go into something that was easy. I wanted to go
Speaker 4: on something that's challenging because I don't like obviously camp
Speaker 4: I don't. I'm scared of the dark. I'm scared of
Speaker 4: spiders and snakes and just everything that the Jungle was
Speaker 4: about I'm scared of. But then I knew that I
Speaker 4: was going to come out as a better person and
Speaker 4: more explore or up for challenges and stuff.
Speaker 3: That was important for me too.
Speaker 1: I think you have a really strong following with people
Speaker 1: along the fan forums. I've been watching the show and
Speaker 1: I read the fan forums. Don't do that when you
Speaker 1: are one of the contestants. That can be a bit hectic,
Speaker 1: But I have to say you and Bianca had such
Speaker 1: a strong and warm connection with a lot of people
Speaker 1: who were absolutely devastated to see you go in that
Speaker 1: first double elimination.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know that on mindset it's been going crazy,
Speaker 4: and I know it's going wild on Slip as well, but.
Speaker 3: That's quite nice.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, And it doesn't matter if your first
Speaker 4: or love, it doesn't matter. I mean to make sure
Speaker 4: that you get your charity across is really important.
Speaker 3: Awareness, but it's also important to get the maximum out
Speaker 3: of being there as well.
Speaker 1: You have a great charity though. You just mentioned that then.
Speaker 1: And I want to talk to you about this because
Speaker 1: I read on one of the fan sites earlier today
Speaker 1: that they think voters should be thinking more about which
Speaker 1: charity they want to vote for and where they want
Speaker 1: that much I need to go, rather than voting for
Speaker 1: a celebrity who may have the biggest personality. How does
Speaker 1: that all land with you.
Speaker 3: I just think it is open for the general public,
Speaker 3: and I think they should vote what she was right
Speaker 3: for them, you know, And sometimes we fall in love
Speaker 3: with personalities. Sometimes it's the charity of choice. But I think,
Speaker 3: you know, again, it is open for the public.
Speaker 4: And we should allow them to just go nuts for it.
Speaker 4: You know what she was right for you Because each
Speaker 4: charity was special, then each charity had a purpose as well,
Speaker 4: so no charity was better than another.
Speaker 3: That's how I see it.
Speaker 1: I think that's a good way to look at it.
Speaker 1: You know, in the elimination that we saw whilst you
Speaker 1: were talking to doctor Chris Brown and Julia Morris, it
Speaker 1: sounded like you have a bit of a girl crush
Speaker 1: on Dom Am I reading into something. I mean, is
Speaker 1: every one of the girl they all got girl crushes
Speaker 1: on her? I mean, what's going on here?
Speaker 3: No, Dom and I just built a very strong relationship
Speaker 3: as a friendship. I mean she spoke about her partner,
Speaker 3: I spoke about mine.
Speaker 4: We spoke about ours, the babies together, you know, and
Speaker 4: don't forget when I was read down, Don was there
Speaker 4: for me, and when she was really down, I was
Speaker 4: there for her. So I don't think Australia got to
Speaker 4: see that side because we both had dumb moments and.
Speaker 3: Australia really didn't see that. So we're always comforting.
Speaker 4: I mean, Gon, for me, was the first person to
Speaker 4: know what I was going through, and we spoke about it,
Speaker 4: and I try to hold it as black.
Speaker 3: As I've called from the campmates. And then there's a
Speaker 3: lot of sensitive times that Don went through that I
Speaker 3: was just beside her and saying, you know, Australia loves
Speaker 3: your baby. You're going to do this, You're going to
Speaker 3: smash it.
Speaker 4: I'm here for you. And every night we just will
Speaker 4: chat like we don't forget. We'll bed buddies as well,
Speaker 4: like side by side. So we spent a lot of
Speaker 4: time just chatting, chatting about life, chatting about what we're after, family,
Speaker 4: loved ones, everything.
Speaker 3: So I say, the best friends, you know, And that
Speaker 3: was the thing. Like I loved Dom.
Speaker 4: I think she's gorgeous and it's not a girl crush.
Speaker 3: It's more of a beautiful friendship more than anything. I
Speaker 3: have a lover of fourteen years.
Speaker 2: I know you do.
Speaker 1: I know you did it. I didn't want to be
Speaker 1: I'm not being disrespectful to that as well, because you
Speaker 1: can have a non sexual goal crush. And I was saying,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe everyone's got a crush on Dom this
Speaker 1: season because we are seeing a very different side to
Speaker 1: her than what I think fans who may have seen
Speaker 1: her married at first sight had seen. You know, she
Speaker 1: seems to be having a real redemption story with a
Speaker 1: lot of the people watching the show.
Speaker 4: I admired Dom, you know, and I think that's where
Speaker 4: that comes into it.
Speaker 3: It was funny that you said that about Cruss because
Speaker 3: Nathan's like, oh now I really like domce I'm over
Speaker 3: Asia and I'm open Nathan. So maybe it's such a
Speaker 3: surah like I'm over the enso i stopping a laptop
Speaker 3: to Asia and I've stopping Nathan's naughty partner and now
Speaker 3: I'm Dom's best friend. And it's really crap about it.
Speaker 3: But I think everyone's going.
Speaker 4: To crush either wood is because he looks like pad
Speaker 4: Dance or the fact because he's a rich body.
Speaker 3: Like a he man. So I think that's where the
Speaker 3: crushes are gone. Harry has just left out of.
Speaker 1: The picture now, but he was like to start with,
Speaker 1: he seemed like he might have been hot property. But
Speaker 1: I guess you going down the Congo line of hotties
Speaker 1: that are in there. Y.
Speaker 3: We we're like over Harry.
Speaker 2: Next.
Speaker 3: Dom is an amazing woman and I'm just so excited
Speaker 3: to see her shine Australia, which I believe they already do,
Speaker 3: and for her to speak in mind because she is
Speaker 3: a Ferrarisa zero to a thousand in just a few seconds.
Speaker 1: The people love that. People love that. People love Dom
Speaker 1: and they love all of that meat that we were
Speaker 1: just talking about. But talking about meat and being a chef.
Speaker 1: I wondered, because there seems to be a chef that
Speaker 1: comes into the jungle every year. Is there like an
Speaker 1: underground chef community where you all talk about who's going
Speaker 1: to do the jungle for this this year? Like is
Speaker 1: there a bit of a discussion happening amongst the chef
Speaker 1: world as to who's going to be And I'm a celebrity, nobody.
Speaker 3: Talks about it. I mean, Poe I must have knew
Speaker 3: that I was going in because we spoke about it, Pryor,
Speaker 3: But I don't know if you know it.
Speaker 4: But the first five days I did it cook and
Speaker 4: I told everyone was just a pat ship.
Speaker 3: Because I'm originally a kitchen chef.
Speaker 4: How to get on the tools. I know how to
Speaker 4: break down my meat, I know how to cook.
Speaker 3: But when there was a.
Speaker 4: Comment made, and I can't recall, but someone said, oh,
Speaker 4: dish picks or something, and I just said, well, no,
Speaker 4: there's no such thing as dish picks.
Speaker 3: There are superstars.
Speaker 4: Superstars wash Our dishes are pans and they keep the
Speaker 4: engine running. So for five days I actually washed the
Speaker 4: dishes to prove a point. And when people were ask
Speaker 4: me questions, I was kind of like refusing to answer
Speaker 4: anything because I want to show that I'm not any
Speaker 4: better than anybody else. Yes, I'm on an award winning patient.
Speaker 4: Yes I'm a celebrity chef. But for me, I'm just
Speaker 4: just another person cooking. And then what I did was,
Speaker 4: after I started washing the dishes, I actually started setting
Speaker 4: up the stations properly, like I've got my tins.
Speaker 3: We did Amazon Plus put them in there. You know.
Speaker 3: We used meat board for the meatboards, the veggie for
Speaker 3: the veggies.
Speaker 4: We had three pans going, and I run it like
Speaker 4: a kitchen, so you know, I had myself obviously cooking,
Speaker 4: a second.
Speaker 3: In charge edsl and chopping vegetables. And what I showed
Speaker 3: them and they probably did the even know that they were.
Speaker 4: Doing, was how a kitchen operates with them thinking that
Speaker 4: they came up with the idea.
Speaker 1: That works in your favor. I reckon that all these
Speaker 1: chefs that go in every year, they've got a bit
Speaker 1: of an advantage because they've got something real to offer
Speaker 1: the other people that are in there. But also it
Speaker 1: keeps the place neat and tidy and well run.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I also feel like the chefs sometimes go
Speaker 3: in there and don't share the love. You know, they're like,
Speaker 3: I'm just going to cook everyone stand back. But you
Speaker 3: don't want to do that. You want to say, this
Speaker 3: is a new academy. How do you break it down?
Speaker 3: How do you show people how to cook it?
Speaker 4: How do we do a bit of a like a
Speaker 4: show off cooking kind of segment for everyone?
Speaker 3: And that's what I was doing. Like every night, I'll
Speaker 3: be like seriously playing it up. Then you know, like
Speaker 3: I would split my pants and vegetables were flying. I
Speaker 3: would be breaking down on meat or chop it out,
Speaker 3: looking at my bugies. I was like Ober one moment,
Speaker 3: I's like, if she didn't chop a finger, soots, Tom,
Speaker 3: don't at this And she's like, Babe, Babe, just breaking
Speaker 3: And I'm relaxed. I've got this.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: I'm always fascinated with the inner workings of TV higher
Speaker 1: keys and you know, who's popular in there and versus
Speaker 1: what we see on screen. I guess which you might
Speaker 1: not necessarily know at this stage, but what was the
Speaker 1: general consensus amongst the camp about who was going to
Speaker 1: be eliminated in this first elimination? Because I think it
Speaker 1: would have been really hard for you guys to know
Speaker 1: who you thought was going to go home.
Speaker 3: We're all trying to get it, to be honest, and
Speaker 3: we're all trying to get it. But then what we
Speaker 3: were all saying was like, we don't know what the
Speaker 3: public you've see. The funny thing is, which is really weird.
Speaker 4: All the camp makes thought that I had a good
Speaker 4: running with it, like.
Speaker 3: You're the most likable, you're the cheekiest, you feed us
Speaker 3: and you have a story to stop. And then when
Speaker 3: I got eliminated for us, I'm like, what is this possible?
Speaker 3: But then I was like, you know, it is what
Speaker 3: it is. There's you know, there's another like you know,
Speaker 3: eleven other amazing.
Speaker 4: People in there who are beautiful and whoever wins well
Speaker 4: deserved because they are all great. And I can't even
Speaker 4: tell you how amazing these people are. I'm not just
Speaker 4: saying it, it's the honest truth.
Speaker 1: If you look at some of those other people that
Speaker 1: are still in there that you know, proving to be
Speaker 1: quite popular with the other outside audiences, you know, you've
Speaker 1: got your Dom, Dicko, deb and some of those people
Speaker 1: are they sort of when you hear those names, are
Speaker 1: they the loudest people in there? Or like where do
Speaker 1: they fit into the hierarchy.
Speaker 3: Dicko is really trying to be involved.
Speaker 4: Really, I don't know if he's playing on camera playing
Speaker 4: it on camera, To be honest, I don't know about that,
Speaker 4: but he definitely is trying to get that side. I
Speaker 4: think it's come down a little bit more deep.
Speaker 3: I don't think they're really She's just doing her things.
Speaker 3: Asia is just hilarious and not even trying to. I mean,
Speaker 3: Nathan knows have say on camera.
Speaker 4: I mean because Josey stowed a big in other reality
Speaker 4: v shows that he's a beautiful man.
Speaker 3: But more than anything, Dom is real, Dom is raw,
Speaker 3: Dom is fragile, and she's just being herself, and I
Speaker 3: think he can't take that away from someone, you know.
Speaker 3: But you know, then there's Woody and I love what
Speaker 3: is so much. I mean, I couldn't get.
Speaker 1: Enough hugs off in Peter Hellier as well. Peter Helly
Speaker 1: is like one of Oh my God, starling.
Speaker 3: Pete is the best. I love him. You know, he
Speaker 3: cried when he heard my story and he even shared
Speaker 3: a tear when I left.
Speaker 1: I've spent time with him before and I can tell
Speaker 1: you not on a TV show and behind the scenes
Speaker 1: when the cameras aren't rolling. He is a very very
Speaker 1: genuine man, and you know, watching him on the show
Speaker 1: has been great to watch because he's just he's being
Speaker 1: Peter Hallier in there, which I really like.
Speaker 3: He's a beautiful man. Every time someone's up set or
Speaker 3: something or something seriously just turns him into a joke
Speaker 3: and everyone forgets about it.
Speaker 1: And last I could talk to you literally all day,
Speaker 1: as I mentioned before, but I got to wrap this
Speaker 1: up and I ask everyone who comes on the podcast
Speaker 1: this question, what is something from behind the scenes, something
Speaker 1: that we might not have seen on Telly. I know
Speaker 1: that you might not necessarily know that, but you know,
Speaker 1: maybe a behind the scene secret, something that happens on
Speaker 1: I'm a celebrity secret.
Speaker 3: What you see is what you get. Trying to invent
Speaker 3: I think what people don't understand how hard it is
Speaker 3: so cold. Shaw is washing our clothes, trying to make
Speaker 3: him dry. Taking a shit in a box not fun
Speaker 3: as a smell isn't fun, but it is raw and
Speaker 3: it is really. What you see is what you get.
Speaker 3: There's no we don't get any special treatments. I've told you.
Speaker 3: I try to think yourself, for get a sandwich and
Speaker 3: there's no sandwiches given coming my way.

Speaker 1: know there's a lot of people out there celebrating you
Speaker 1: in your time on the show. Thank you for being
Speaker 1: so open and so raw in there. I think that
