I personally loved him on the Rove 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:05.120 back in the day and have always enjoyed his obvious 0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:08.280 humor and social commentary, even if at times it does 0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:11.360 border on dad jokes. The fact that Peter said yes 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:14.800 to the Jungle, took on all these challenges eight disgusting food, 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:17.319 but gave us so many laughs is a test of 0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:20.320 it to the awesome guy, Pete is truly behind the scenes. 0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:22.760 I will talk to Pete about his time on the 0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:25.240 project and what he really thought of the people who 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:27.800 said yes to going into the Jungle when he would 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:32.559 previously interview them. We will discuss that final food trial 0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:35.600 and why we never see the celebs hold their noses. 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:38.759 We will also get shock admissions as to who he 0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:41.920 thinks should replace doctor Chris Brown as he leaves the 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:44.959 show this season. Plus we will get plenty of exclusives 0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:47.000 from behind the scenes. If I'm a celebrity, Get Me 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.200 Out of Here, which you can now watch on Network 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:51.800 ten and you can also catch up on ten Play 0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:55.400 if you've fallen behind anyway, Let's bring Pete into the podcast. 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:57.840 I'm a big fan of his and always have been, 0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:00.880 and I really hope you enjoy this chat mate. 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:02.960 How are you I'm good man, How are you. 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:03.480 Are you surviving? 0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:05.600 I am it's it's I've. 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:09.240 Had a shower, a bit of a beard trim, a haircut, 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:10.240 got a cup of tea. 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:12.000 Yeah, life's pretty good. 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:14.040 Since you've been gone. What you don't know is the 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:17.240 Tom Hanks castaway look is huge here in Australia, so 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:19.000 you might have done yourself for your service. 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:24.080 My plan has become the Richard Hatch of this season 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:26.440 of iMOS. Already get me out of here, so keeping 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:27.960 the beard for a little bit longer. 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:30.760 Would you have said no to that final challenge, which 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:33.160 was disgusting by the way, had you known that you 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:35.560 were going to be the next person you know, eliminated. 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:38.360 I know, you eat some pigs and as you expect, 0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:40.399 at least, you know, get voted back in at least 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:44.480 for one more night. But the truth of the matter 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:47.200 is that you get to the point where you really 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:50.080 want to do the trials. And I kind of came 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:53.760 into this experience going I can't exist by hoping that 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:56.520 I don't get chosen. As it turned out, I've done 0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:59.640 two trials plus reaching my hand to a box of snakes, 0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:01.880 which I consider a trial. You know, I probably done, 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:04.400 I guess three trials, but it felt like I really 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:06.240 needed to get it, you know, at least another one 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:06.680 before I went. 0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:08.560 So I was really excited when. 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:09.880 I was chosen, because you want to leave here with 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:13.600 stories and to tell people and my kids to see me, 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:16.280 you know, try to do something against my will. And 0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:21.560 so eating pigs genus and you know, fermented herring was 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:22.920 a bere Yeah. 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:24.840 If you ever get bored, you know, you can just 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:25.600 do that at home. 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:29.880 Yeah, I mean, I know, and I'll be auditioning from 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:35.240 one to wife if I can find another pig who's 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:35.720 up for it. 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:40.760 I want to know why doesn't anyone ever hold their 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:44.560 nose while they do shots of fermented disgustingness? You know? 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:47.200 Is it a part of the instructions that you're not 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:48.360 allowed to cover your nose? 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:51.440 That is correct, you cannot You're not allowed. Because I 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:53.160 was like, okay, cover your nose. And the other thing 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:55.960 I was going to do was cut it up nice 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:57.760 and small and just eat it kind of like bit 0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:00.720 by a bit, but there's no cut. Worry is that 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:04.880 they want you eating out of your hands. So my plans, 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:07.400 my clever little plans went out the window very quickly. 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:10.520 There seems to be like days as well when you're 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.360 not on television, because we're watching this live. So then 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:15.400 what do you get to eat on the days that 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:18.520 you haven't won challenges? Is there like, you know, like 0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:20.560 a whole lot of crocodile tails or whatever it may 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:22.800 be that last for a couple of days, or is 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:24.680 it just rice and beans when we're not watching it? 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:27.440 So breakfast and lunch stayed the same. It's always porridge 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:30.560 in the morning, oats okay, and lunch is always just 0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:33.080 rice and beans. If I've never seen another beaning on 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:35.039 my life, I will be a very happy man. 0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:35.400 Play. 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:38.080 The lack of flavor that I've had over the last 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:40.400 twenty six days is staggering. 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:43.320 But what we were doing, which I'm not sure I 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:43.960 want to check up. 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:46.719 I'm not sure it was the first camp to do it, 0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:50.239 but we saved a lot of our rice from lunch 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:54.039 that was in case they came with you know, the 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:56.760 trialis came back with not many stars, so just bulked 0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:59.960 up any meal that we had. I think we're reasonably 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:03.480 overachieving camp, though like it was not many times did 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:05.040 they come we come back. I think three and a 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:08.320 half stars was the lowest we got and I think 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:15.200 that was the maybe the the Dombkak incident, yeah, incident Catgate. 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:19.640 Yeah, so just so you know, because there was nothing 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:22.600 else that happened this season that was referred to as 0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:25.800 an incident, it was just literally the incident. And everyone's like, 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:28.360 oh yes at the water cooler. If you said, I'm 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:32.200 a celebrity incident, I think all of Australia has seen 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:34.760 it by now. So it's just the incident. It was. 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:38.880 It was a staggering series of events. 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:40.560 Well I'm going to I'm not going to pest you 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:42.640 for that. I'm sure people already doing that. But you know, 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:45.279 while we're talking about food, everyone eats rice and beans 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:48.479 and you know, loses a staggering amount of weight. Is 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:50.800 there food that you won't go back to eating, Like, 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:53.440 is there a possibility that these labs like yourself might 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:55.280 come back and try and keep the weight off or 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:57.400 is that just not a is that not a smart 0:05:57.440 --> 0:05:58.279 thing for me to say? 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:02.320 Even I will try. I imagine I'll put my weight 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:04.640 back on on the on the plane ride back. It's 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:08.440 almost torture. The amount we spoke about food in the 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:10.320 in the camp, like you're kind to get to the 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:12.600 point where go we why are we torturing ourselves by 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:15.640 talking about the food? And sometimes it'll be like amazing 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:19.760 dishes described, you know by people like Dom or Liz 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:22.160 or you know Anna obviously you know people who know. 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:24.800 How to describe food and like cook food and all that. 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:26.600 But sometimes it would just be like, oh, how good 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:29.320 would someone video chips be oh my god, you know, 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:33.799 and then would discuss our favorite confectionery and what happens 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:35.559 You kind of come out and then you have something 0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:36.919 to eat, and then you kind of be like, Okay, 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:40.320 well that's done, you know, Like I was going to 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:41.840 tell it even when I was in there, I was 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:44.280 trying to say, once you eat a couple of things, 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:46.720 you won't you then won't be starving, like you know, 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:49.080 it's not like we're going to be gorging for the 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:52.560 next three months on our favorite foods. But it'd be 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:54.680 interesting to see, you know, if I can keep off 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:56.680 some of the kilos that I that I lost. 0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:57.800 But we'll see. 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:00.760 When you were interviewing these people as they would come 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:02.720 out of the jungle or throwing to the Jungle in 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:06.320 previous years. Did you ever imagine that you would eventually 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:07.240 say yes and do it. 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:09.400 No, I honestly didn't. 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:12.560 And I remember seeing Barry Hall in like a Grave 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.720 full of Rats or something like it very early on them. 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:17.720 I've been season one or two, and I just remember thinking, 0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:20.600 I'll never do that show. But I was very adamant. 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:23.040 And when we would speak to you know this, this 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:26.280 celebrity shield would come out and sometimes you know carry 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:27.880 and I will chat about it in my lead and 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:29.239 I was just adamant. 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:31.280 I would never do it. There's just too many things 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:33.320 that I don't like. I like my own space. It 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:35.200 would really rub me up the wrong way. It was 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:36.960 too far out of my comfort zone. Basically. 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:39.080 You know, obviously Ten had the inside running on me 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:41.000 leaving the projects, so they gave me a call. They 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:46.480 got me in a weak moment, obviously, and I just went, sure, 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:49.280 why not? And you know, there was I wanted to 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:52.560 know how it works, and you had a couple of questions, 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:55.600 and the other thing was to be honest, I know, 0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:58.240 not just interviewing the celebrities when they come out. But 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:00.480 I've known a lot of a lot of my done 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:04.480 the show and almost uniformly they have come out and 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:09.000 raved about the experience, and I was very curious as 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:11.680 to why that was, and so that was probably one 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:14.840 of the other driving factors in me saying yes. 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:17.360 Esentially, they want to do this show all the time, 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:19.320 and then people do it and they say that it's 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:21.880 changed them, and you know, it's kind of like saying, oh, 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.200 I want to go on a journey in reality television 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:26.000 or what a journey and it's such, you know, a 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:27.640 buzz word that we don't want to hear. But do 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:31.240 you think that doing a show like this could possibly 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:33.760 have changed you forever? Like the next thing we see 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:36.319 you in, do you think that we will see a 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:37.640 very changed Peter Hellett. 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:43.400 I mean, it's it's very raw, and I'm still processing 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:45.840 a lot of it. I know I had a great time, 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:48.480 but as far as that stuff goes, I don't know. 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:48.880 Like that. 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:51.120 The most amazing thing for me was how much I 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:55.760 enjoyed being disconnected from the world and from the new 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:59.040 cycle and from my phone. I hated not being able 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:02.160 to contact my family and that was the hardest, absolutely 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:04.800 the hardest thing, which I you know guess would be 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:08.760 the hardest thing going into it, but the disconnecting from the. 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:13.200 Phone was just you know, repulatory for me. And even 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:15.280 though you know, and there's no phantom kind of like 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:17.559 reaching from my pocket to check, you know, to check 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:18.080 my phone. 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:21.840 So I hope that you know, coming out, I can 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:26.160 kind of monitor my screen time and you know, there's 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:28.800 there's conversations you know, they had in the jungle about 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:31.520 how we all live our lives and about mental health 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:33.600 and all that that I know will want to take 0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:34.040 on board. 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:37.719 And you know, it's it is a really amazing experience 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:40.160 and it's interesting to see what I'd take out of it. 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:42.640 Maybe they have got you to do the show because 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:45.000 you might have been easier asked on a step to 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:47.400 trying to get carried big more or maybe even rove 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:49.520 to come and do the show, because I think, you know, 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:51.480 with this sign off that you're giving at the moment, 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:54.480 it sounds like it's a retreat that you know, seems 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:55.080 pretty cheap. 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:58.880 Well, to be absolutely honest, I didn't think that, like 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:01.680 people are paying being top dollar to go on these 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:03.200 you know, like detos retreats. 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:05.439 Certainly didn't pay my fair to get here. 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:08.120 So I said to the team already, you know, I 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:10.880 will be an ambassador if you if there's somebody in 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:13.640 my in my world that you wanted me to nudge 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:16.920 towards coming on, I'll certainly recommend it. And I never 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:19.520 thought i'd be in this position where I'm looking back 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:22.520 going yeah, I'm a celebrity. Is one of the one 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:23.720 of my favorite things I've ever done. 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:26.000 You could be pretty quiet times. I mean I was 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:27.800 expecting you to be a little bit louder. I mean, 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:29.480 you were very funny, and we got to see some 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:32.240 amazing moments of you in there. I wondered, because I've 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:33.840 met you a couple of times, and you're a very 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:37.199 generous person by nature, and you're a very generous person 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:39.679 in your interviews. You really do give people a lot 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:42.920 of space. Was that a thought process for you, thinking, Oh, 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:44.840 some of these other people are a little lesser known 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:47.760 and I'm letting them have some time. Was there a reason? 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:47.959 Why? 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:50.040 Is there a rationale behind being a little bit whieter? 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:51.199 No, it was. 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:53.920 It certainly wasn't a strategy, but I was very much 0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:56.319 I did think there are times when I'm going to, 0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:59.480 you know, be a bigger part of a conversation or 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:02.200 a moment, and there are times when that moment should 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:06.800 belong to somebody else. And so it wasn't as rational 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:07.960 as the. 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:10.240 Way you put it. But and I think it's just 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:11.280 the way I am in my life. 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:11.480 You know. 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:13.160 I don't need to walk into a room and be 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:15.360 the loudest person in the room. 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:18.160 Or I don't need to dominate a conversation, and there 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:20.439 are times when I might and I just kind of thought, 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:22.160 and I'm not sure what went to where, you know, 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:24.240 And that's a weird thing about doing these interviews that 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:26.760 you're not really sure because also you can't be on 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:29.400 twenty four seven, you know. And as a comedian in 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:32.559 the camp, I know, I'm sure Mammy saying, but I 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:35.040 think acm had a really tough time in the camp 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:37.599 because he didn't know when he was supposed to be on, 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:39.760 you know, And so I just went in and tried 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:42.280 to be myself. And that's what you saw is kind 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:43.920 of how I would be if I was on a 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:46.480 camping trip with my mates, you know, up in Comproom 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:49.199 where we you know, we camp with my family and friends, 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:51.960 and you know, sometimes I'm on and you know, and lively, 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:54.360 and other times I'm a bit quieter, and you know, 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:56.480 sometimes it's more to do with me, and other times 0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:58.199 it's more to do with you know, what's going on 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:01.120 in the group. And yeah, so it's probably just a 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:03.040 pretty true reflection of what I'm actually like. 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:06.559 I mean, I remember watching Rove Live years ago, and 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:09.480 I remember thinking, what on this show is so loud? 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:11.599 Like Rove does his monologue and I felt like he 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:14.520 was yelling at me and then and great, but I 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:16.199 mean that's a part of his comedy. Like I'm not 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:19.319 saying it's a negative, but I remember being blown away 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:22.240 by your humble attitude to being on that show. You 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:25.480 weren't the loudest, but I thought you were the funniest 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:28.360 because it was very much authentic. It was very real, 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:31.199 and I think people are sitting at home want more 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:31.480 of that. 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:37.600 Yeah, well, what I love about this season is because 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:40.719 I'm told it's like the biggest season they've had, and 0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:42.079 you know, they reached. 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:45.280 A million votes, you know, for the first time, which 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:47.320 is you know, staggering, and you. 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:50.559 Know it's obviously been a really big show for ten 0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:52.679 and that's it's amazing to hear that when you come 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:55.480 out not knowing how it's going, I was gonna I 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:59.880 almost wanted to pretend I got to like get on 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.800 the microphone and actually say a final goodbye to the 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:06.880 camp mates from the control room, and I actually wanted 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:09.280 to say the show has been the show has been accident. 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:11.280 It hasn't been not for the last six nights, but 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:14.960 that might be a bit cruel. But what I love, 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:17.600 what I love about its success is there wasn't really 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:21.000 a villain in this This season has not been built 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:24.240 on conflict. I think it's a win for positivity. And 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:27.480 you know, I love shows like Shit's Creek and ted Lasso, 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:30.400 and you know, I'm not saying every show should be 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:32.120 like that and can be like that, but I think, 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:34.480 especially in the reality kind of genre, to have a 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:37.800 positive show is really great. 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:39.280 No, I think it, And you know what, it's a 0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:41.760 really good antidote, is what I say to some of 0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:44.480 those other shows that do surround themselves with conflict. I 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:46.920 still think that conflict exists in real life, and that's 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:49.760 probably where we got the incident from as we now 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:50.520 refer to it. 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:51.560 Yeah, I don't think. 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:53.240 It's the worst thing for the Jungle, but it's certainly 0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:54.560 not the center point. 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:56.480 In regards to the incident. I mean, you can't You 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:57.280 don't cast for that? 0:13:57.400 --> 0:13:59.440 You know that was and that you know, I understood 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:03.600 that happened and the human nature involved from both points 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:05.880 of view, to be honest, and and that was an 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:08.920 organic kind of thing that happened. And and I you know, 0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:11.160 I thought like this is the first of I wonder 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:13.320 how many, But then there's nothing after that. We kind 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:15.439 of just got on with it and put our arms 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:18.960 around each other and you know, supported each other and existed. 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:23.200 Well, interesting that you've sat across from carry Anne, you know, 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:25.400 a live television and you've watched her go through a lot. 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:28.520 You probably have never seen her in a situation like this. 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:30.920 Was this a very different Carry Anne to her what 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:33.040 you'd seen any way working with her on the project? 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:36.280 Yeah, I mean I love Kak and I have had 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:39.160 I've got so much time for her and I was 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:42.280 excited that when she arrived and then to see her 0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:43.840 kind of upset when she came back in the camp 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:46.880 was actually it was upsetting, you know, and you know, 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:50.960 we were kind of wondering what this means and you know, 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:54.320 what's what has dom gone and done? And how she 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:56.680 going to address this when she comes back? Is it's 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:59.280 you know, we can't condone, you know, some of the 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:02.360 language it was used and the attack. But when Dom 0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:05.280 came back in and basically took ownership of it, and 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:07.520 you know, I said, yeah, I shouldn't. I shouldn't have 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:11.720 used those words, and that she backed herself in her 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:15.040 the reasoning, which you know, I think is fair enough 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:18.760 when you're under those circumstances. Are I understood both points 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:21.920 of view, but it wasn't nice to see Kerry Anne. 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:24.400 You know you feel like that and go through that, 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:26.600 and I look forward to kind of reaching out and 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:28.360 maybe happily having a game of golf with her. 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:32.160 Yeah, you know, it's almost impossible to ask at this point. 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:34.960 We have seen shock elimination after shock elimination. No one 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:37.440 I've I don't think anyone watching this show would have 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:39.840 predicted the last three people that have come out. So 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:43.040 instead of really asking you who you think is going 0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:45.600 to win this, because I don't think it's too hard 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:48.160 to pick, who do you think could replace doctor Chris Brown? 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:50.840 That's what everyone's talking about. Why you've been in there, 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:54.080 And I was looking at you with them yesterday. I 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:58.840 was thinking you and Julia very good together. Could it 0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:00.320 be you or do you think there's one in the 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:03.120 industry that would be, you know, a formidable person to 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:04.520 take over from doctor Chris Brown. 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:07.600 Yeah, I like where you're going. I me and Julia 0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:10.920 I like it. Keep that going, keep rolling with it. 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:12.640 There else. 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:16.080 There was somebody else in the industry that I kneo'd 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:17.680 be great for the job, I probably wouldn't put them 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:19.520 forward because I think it's it's. 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:20.080 A plum gig. 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:24.760 And I think I think the powerful thing about if 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:27.320 it was if it was me, is that Chris and 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:30.080 I basically looked like before and after shot of some 0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:31.480 kind of horrible experiment. 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:34.360 So sorry, I'm running out of time, but I have 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:36.840 to ask you just something very quickly. What is something 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:38.600 from behind the scenes that we did not see that 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:40.440 we might not see. I know you don't know what 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:42.800 we've seen, but we kind of want a little behind 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:44.800 the scenes secret of I'm a celebrity. 0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:47.320 Well, the one thing I can tell you is how 0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:49.840 amazing they are at keeping us in the dark. So 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:52.600 when we leave for our trials, as soon as we 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:56.200 step out of camp, we are blindfolded and we literally walked. 0:16:56.920 --> 0:16:59.120 We walk a short a short distance. 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.320 Then you kind of see his filmed doing that, and 0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:05.320 then but then they put on the blindfold. We have blindfolded, 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:08.080 and then walked another couple of hundred meters, put into 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:12.200 a car that is blacked out and still blindfolded, and 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:16.800 driven to the trial, and they only and then they 0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:18.160 walk us again blindfolded. 0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:21.760 They guide us through and they basically only take. 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:25.159 Off the blindfold at the last moment, and then we 0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:27.680 bastually turn around and they're at christ and Julia. 0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:29.600 And I'd be casting before I got there. 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:32.320 Get it, gets it gets a little bit triggering after while. 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:34.159
