Speaker 1: It's in the news today, but it was actually on
Speaker 1: TV Reload, the podcast Last Weep, Never Life. Hey guys,
Speaker 1: welcome back to TV Reload. I want to thank you
Speaker 1: for clicking and downloading on today's episode with Brittany Hockley
Speaker 1: and Ellie Cole, both who were a huge part of
Speaker 1: the current series of I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out
Speaker 1: of Here for twenty twenty four with more votes from
Speaker 1: the public than we'd ever seen before. My two guests
Speaker 1: today were sadly farewelled from the South African jungle, bringing
Speaker 1: the camp mates from a group of five down to three.
Speaker 1: The tears definitely flowed as the camp mates said goodbye
Speaker 1: to both Brittany and Ellie, who both made the camp
Speaker 1: life look like an absolute breeze. While Brittany was an
Speaker 1: absolute trooper when it came to the trials, it was
Speaker 1: her bonds that she made with a camp that made
Speaker 1: her a true winner amongst the cast. Ellie Cole was
Speaker 1: a self confessed I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of
Speaker 1: His super fan. I'm one of the keenest celebrity camp
Speaker 1: mates that's ever been on the show, always keen to
Speaker 1: dive into whatever challenges that Robert and Juliet managed to
Speaker 1: throw her way. Brittany's time in the jungle was in
Speaker 1: support of UP, which helps women escape dangerous situations and
Speaker 1: gives them a fresh start with housing, donations, help cliances,
Speaker 1: and a lot more. Brittany will talk about the landscape
Speaker 1: of podcasting and what she thinks of an individual's power
Speaker 1: to create storylines in the media. Ellie will talk about
Speaker 1: how her love of the show manifested into an opportunity
Speaker 1: to be on the show and how this experience has
Speaker 1: surprised her. We will get some behind the scenes stories
Speaker 1: from both girls in regarding to the realities of the
Speaker 1: jungle experience and how they could actually smell the food
Speaker 1: that the crew was eating. We will also talk about
Speaker 1: who both of these women would like to see win
Speaker 1: the competition, and the answer is actually the same and
Speaker 1: so that will be interesting to see if their guesses
Speaker 1: become correct. On Sunday night. There's actually so much to
Speaker 1: unpack with Brittany and Ellie, so sit back and relax
Speaker 1: as we unpack their time in a South African jungle.
Speaker 2: Hey ya, how i am.
Speaker 3: I'm good.
Speaker 1: I'm very excited to be talking to you. I'm actually
Speaker 1: a bit of a fan. I listened to the pod,
Speaker 1: so this is amazing.
Speaker 4: Thank you. I love that. Well.
Speaker 1: Congratulations on making it this far in the show. Did
Speaker 1: you have any idea that you would make it right
Speaker 1: up until the finale?
Speaker 4: Do you know what?
Speaker 5: It's so hard to know because you don't know what's
Speaker 5: being shown. You're being filmed for literally twenty four hours
Speaker 5: a day, and about like one to one and a
Speaker 5: half hours max is shown between twelve people. So it's
Speaker 5: so like, I feel like what people see on the
Speaker 5: outside could be very different to what we all experience
Speaker 5: on the inside. But I'm went in with zero expectations
Speaker 5: and just thought I'm just going to have fun. I'm
Speaker 5: going to be me, and whatever happens happened. So I
Speaker 5: was soaked to make it so far.
Speaker 1: Are you looking forward to googling yourself and finding out
Speaker 1: what everyone's thought about you while you've been away?
Speaker 4: No, I'm already.
Speaker 5: I haven't been out for a couple of hours and
Speaker 5: I haven't gone on Instagram yet.
Speaker 3: Okay, stay away, that's fine.
Speaker 1: You know what, For as many people out there that'll
Speaker 1: say something negative, there's at least two or three more
Speaker 1: people you know that always love you. I think that's
Speaker 1: always the best way to think about it when it
Speaker 1: comes to reality. How do you think your co hosts
Speaker 1: would have gone had they had gone into the jungle instead.
Speaker 4: Of you in there?
Speaker 5: I genuinely thought, oh my god, Mitch and Laura werein'
Speaker 5: about to do this. That's what I thought, and not
Speaker 5: because it's them. It's because at one point I thought
Speaker 5: I couldn't do it.
Speaker 4: It's like, it's so.
Speaker 5: Much harder than you could ever imagine, and people like
Speaker 5: past contestants tell you it's so hard.
Speaker 4: They're like, it's so hard.
Speaker 5: You know, you don't eat, you're hungry, you're bored, you've
Speaker 5: got no energy, You've got to.
Speaker 4: Do these crazy things. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: that's fine. And then when you're in it, it's absolutely insanity.
Speaker 5: But I do think Mitch would be amazing on it,
Speaker 5: and I hope we can see him on the next year.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, he really needs to do that. I think
Speaker 1: I spoke to him about this at the Logis on
Speaker 1: the Red Carpet about two years ago, and he looked
Speaker 1: open to it, So you know, I'm.
Speaker 4: I think it'd be Keen and I think she'd kill it.
Speaker 1: Well, he's got to beccoes to fill my friend, because
Speaker 1: you've done so well. Your podcasting ability really shone through
Speaker 1: with your chats with people, which I really loved. Have
Speaker 1: you always been interested in people's story because I think
Speaker 1: that's your superpower, Like you can really see you come
Speaker 1: alive when you get the opportunity to sit down with
Speaker 1: someone one on one.
Speaker 4: Oh that's very kind. Thank you.
Speaker 5: It's funny because I didn't really notice until towards the
Speaker 5: end that I don't even notice that I do it,
Speaker 5: so I it's almost an unintentional interview mode, but it's
Speaker 5: not an interview. I'm just so curious about people's stories,
Speaker 5: and I know so many people have amazing.
Speaker 4: Stories if you just give them the time.
Speaker 5: But it wasn't until the end I was like, I
Speaker 5: feel like I've barely spoken about myself.
Speaker 4: I feel like you've just like asked everyone else their
Speaker 4: stories and no one asked me mine.
Speaker 5: And I got to the end and I was like,
Speaker 5: I wonder if anyone I wonder if Australia even knows
Speaker 5: it about me?
Speaker 3: No, this is us.
Speaker 1: Now, I'm podcasting you. Now I get to ask you
Speaker 1: all of those questions.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Fair, If only I got to do that on the show.
Speaker 1: What do you think of all of these entertainment podcasts
Speaker 1: that are out there now, because when you've finished up
Speaker 1: on The Bachelor, you know, all those years ago, it
Speaker 1: kind of was the beginning of social commentary in the
Speaker 1: podcasting space, and you've really been on the you know,
Speaker 1: been with that from the ground floor. What do you
Speaker 1: think about where it's come to now?
Speaker 4: What's funny?
Speaker 5: Like, I do feel like we were sort of one
Speaker 5: of the og podcasts if there was.
Speaker 4: We were in pretty early in podcasting.
Speaker 5: You know, we're five years deep now, and there were
Speaker 5: so many people when we started the podcast that told
Speaker 5: us not to you know, they were like, podcasting, why
Speaker 5: would you do that? That's you know, no one does that.
Speaker 5: There's no money in that, that's not a real job.
Speaker 5: And we were like, yeah, yeah, yeah, but you know,
Speaker 5: we love to talk to people.
Speaker 4: It's fun. Who cares if there's no money?
Speaker 5: And I feel really lucky that we we went against.
Speaker 4: The green and tried it because now I do see
Speaker 4: pods pop up all the time. Yeah, and I think
Speaker 4: people don't realize how hard it is.
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, you have one people think you
Speaker 5: just jump on record something without thinking, without editing, throw
Speaker 5: it out there and hope and like it blows up,
Speaker 5: But it doesn't, like it's so much work.
Speaker 1: When people tell me about doing podcasting, I say to them,
Speaker 1: go for it, you know, because I mean, you don't
Speaker 1: even need a distributor anymore, you can just podcast. But totally,
Speaker 1: it needs to be in your DNA. It needs to
Speaker 1: be something that just you would do second nature. And
Speaker 1: you know what, Brittany, I really saw that through your
Speaker 1: time in the jungle, that that is just who you are.
Speaker 1: You're curious about people, your kind, the way that you
Speaker 1: talk to people, and I think that's how you on
Speaker 1: earth story from people.
Speaker 3: Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I appreciate that because I don't.
Speaker 5: I genuinely don't even notice I do it, and probably
Speaker 5: annoying to most people, probably when she answering so many questions,
Speaker 5: why does you care what I did when I was five?
Speaker 3: That's how to get the stories out of people.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And it's like I tell everyone, if people want
Speaker 5: to start a podcast, I'm like, go for it. I'm like,
Speaker 5: but just be aware it's not as easy as you think.
Speaker 5: It's some hard work. You don't think you're just going
Speaker 5: to go straight to the top and earn all this money,
Speaker 5: like you've got a grind. But you know, I think
Speaker 5: I love podcasts obviously, I'm an advocate for them, and
Speaker 5: I think anyone that can make a life out of
Speaker 5: it and a business out of it is doing very well.
Speaker 1: Will you get discussed a lot in the podcasting space
Speaker 1: from other podcasters, and you also get discussed in the media.
Speaker 1: What's the most ridiculous thing that's ever been put out
Speaker 1: into the zeitgeist about you and your personal life?
Speaker 4: Oh? God, you from a spot there? Oh, I remember
Speaker 4: there was one. This was just funny but it was dumb.
Speaker 5: But you know, I mean you would probably know, like
Speaker 5: you can say something on a podcast or on radio
Speaker 5: in an interview and.
Speaker 4: It can it has context, and it.
Speaker 5: Has humor and you laugh, and you know, you can
Speaker 5: after it be like haha, ha, just joking whatever.
Speaker 4: It's different. But when a media outlet take that and
Speaker 4: put it in.
Speaker 5: Writing with no context, no tone, nothing, it's it always
Speaker 5: sounds ridiculous. But I just remember this headline and a
Speaker 5: story literally that was like Brittany Hockley goes.
Speaker 4: To massus once a week just so she can be.
Speaker 5: Touched, and that was that was the airdline, and I
Speaker 5: was like, what the hell, Like.
Speaker 4: This makes me sound like the biggest perverb.
Speaker 6: Like I just go to a random massus so someone
Speaker 6: touches me and like feels me up. And I was like,
Speaker 6: and that, to be fair, I did say that, but
Speaker 6: it was the joke, right, I was like, Oh, I
Speaker 6: love massages.
Speaker 4: I just want someone to touch me. You know, I
Speaker 4: just made a joke.
Speaker 5: But the jokes don't land when they're in a headline
Speaker 5: on the Daily Mail.
Speaker 1: And you can a like twin but you know that,
Speaker 1: like you can spin anything these days, Like if you
Speaker 1: want a story out of someone that is not really there,
Speaker 1: just listen to someone talk for five minutes and you
Speaker 1: can twist and turn anything. It's like being paparazzi, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Like if you walk down the street,
Speaker 1: think about all the faces you pull when you're thinking,
Speaker 1: oh I've got to get the shopping, Oh god, I
Speaker 1: forgot to ring mum. And then when it ends up
Speaker 1: in the in the magazines, it looks like you're angry
Speaker 1: and they say, you know you hate Mitch Jury, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean?
Speaker 5: Like, Yeah, Brittany looking downcast after leaving co hosts Mitch Churry, Yeah, whatever,
Speaker 5: it was just funny and I just remember reading the
Speaker 5: headline and just thinking, wow, I've run.
Speaker 4: Just think some of further that pays people to.
Speaker 1: Touch me in Do you think that there's too much
Speaker 1: power these days though, in our podcasting platform, because we
Speaker 1: really do have a voice that's being listened to by
Speaker 1: so many people, and we're not really being fact checked,
Speaker 1: we're not really being scrutinized over there's no sort of
Speaker 1: policing of podcasting, so to speak, at this point. Do
Speaker 1: you think that there's too much power in the individual? Oh?
Speaker 4: I just think, you know what, it's a bit of
Speaker 4: a b to be.
Speaker 5: There's a big responsibility on you as a podcaster or
Speaker 5: anyone putting information out to you have a responsibility because
Speaker 5: people are listening, they are getting information from you, So
Speaker 5: it's pretty important you do your due diligence. And Laura
Speaker 5: and I on Life on carp we get the best
Speaker 5: of the best when we interview, We get like profess people,
Speaker 5: the best of their professions to come and talk to us.
Speaker 5: If it's something that we know nothing about, and if
Speaker 5: it's just Laura and I talking, we do so much
Speaker 5: research and you do feel a huge sense of responsibilit
Speaker 5: because you don't want put out their own information that
Speaker 5: one hundred thousand people might go and tell someone else about.
Speaker 5: But then, on the other hand, there's a responsibility on
Speaker 5: the listener and the consumer to also do their own.
Speaker 4: Research and not just believe every single thing they hear.
Speaker 5: There's a lot of people that will read a headline
Speaker 5: and that becomes a fact to them.
Speaker 4: They don't even read the article. Then they go and
Speaker 4: tell someone else, then the rumors start. I think the
Speaker 4: responsibility split.
Speaker 5: It's like between people that put out information and consumers
Speaker 5: on how to digest the right information.
Speaker 3: I agree. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: This is the shortest interview of my life, so I
Speaker 1: have at least seven hundred more questions. So I'm just
Speaker 1: going to only ask you two more if you can
Speaker 1: give me a sort of a one worded answer on
Speaker 1: this one.
Speaker 3: Who's going to win? Who do you want to win?
Speaker 3: Not who's going to win?
Speaker 4: Actually, okay, who do I want? It's so tough. I
Speaker 4: love them all, but I think.
Speaker 1: Tristan, okay, great, that's amazing. And everyone who has my
Speaker 1: podcast gets asked the same question, what is something from
Speaker 1: behind the scenes now? I know you.
Speaker 3: I know that you don't know what Australia has seen.
Speaker 1: But what's something from behind the scenes of being a
Speaker 1: celebrity and being picked to do a show like this,
Speaker 1: something that maybe the average punter wouldn't know.
Speaker 5: The behind the scenes is actually in this show, there
Speaker 5: is not really a big behind the scenes. You barely
Speaker 5: see people. It's so real. It's the realest reality show
Speaker 5: I've been on. But the one funny thing is when
Speaker 5: you leave, because you don't get fed in there, right,
Speaker 5: and they try to look after like your mental health.
Speaker 5: When you leave to go and do a trial for
Speaker 5: the day, when you are about to walk past the
Speaker 5: catering tent for the stuff, they make you put a
Speaker 5: blindfold on so that you can't see the food.
Speaker 3: I think you'll freak out, Like yeah, I was.
Speaker 4: Like, bro, I can smell it. I can smell that
Speaker 4: carbon I don't have to see it.
Speaker 3: Make the craft services have carbonara? Oh my god.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And I peaked one day. I lifted my blind fold
Speaker 5: up and I saw a huge sign that was like
Speaker 5: Burger Day and I was like, damn it, I shouldn't
Speaker 5: have looked well.
Speaker 1: I really appreciate the chat with you, I'm sure at
Speaker 1: some point in my life.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a dream.
Speaker 1: It's a bucket list thing to sit down and talk
Speaker 1: to you about those things about you know, what were
Speaker 1: you like when you were six?
Speaker 3: I would love to.
Speaker 1: Do that with you at some point. So I feel
Speaker 1: like it's going to happen. I will it to happen
Speaker 1: at some point.
Speaker 3: Congratulations, I have no doubt it will.
Speaker 5: If you were wind up and pass you over to Ellie.
Speaker 3: I'm being wrapped up now, that's fine, all the very best.
Speaker 4: It's great chatting to you. I'm going to pass you
Speaker 4: on to Ellie. Amazing, I've got Ellie for you.
Speaker 3: Amazing.
Speaker 4: Hi, how are you.
Speaker 1: I'm well, and I'm so excited to be talking to you.
Speaker 1: You know, you have become such a fan favorite amongst
Speaker 1: the celebrities that were in the jungle this year. That
Speaker 1: must be so exciting and a little bit terrifying at
Speaker 1: the same time.
Speaker 2: Well, that's really nice to hear and you say it's
Speaker 2: so exciting but terrifying at the same time. We have
Speaker 2: in their jungle, as the celebrities, we have absolutely no
Speaker 2: idea in terms of what's making the edits, how we're
Speaker 2: being perceived.
Speaker 4: By the public.
Speaker 2: I haven't really been on my phone, so I have
Speaker 2: absolutely no idea what you're talking about, but that's nice
Speaker 2: to hear.
Speaker 1: I've spoke to two famous people yesterday and I said
Speaker 1: to them, who do you want to win? I'm a celebrity,
Speaker 1: and they both said your name, and they were the
Speaker 1: only two people ask that question too, So you know,
Speaker 1: that's pretty cool.
Speaker 2: Wow, this is incredible because, as I mentioned, when you're
Speaker 2: in the jungle, you're so disconnected, so that's really lovely
Speaker 2: to hear.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 1: One of them is actually Reggie Byrd, who won two
Speaker 1: seasons of Big Brother, and she knows reality TV, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, and so she loved you, so
Speaker 1: I think that's pretty cool.
Speaker 4: She's amazing.
Speaker 2: I've never met her in person, but we do follow
Speaker 2: each other on Instagram and yeah, we do comment on
Speaker 2: each other's posts every now and then, which.
Speaker 1: She's certainly got to slide into your DMS and say
Speaker 1: that she enjoyed you on the show. You know, did
Speaker 1: you worry about the fact that, whilst you are super
Speaker 1: duper famous in a smaller circle, you're probably not as
Speaker 1: recognizable as maybe some of the other biggest celebrities that
Speaker 1: were in there, were you What sort of thought process
Speaker 1: did you put to that when you were going in,
Speaker 1: Because I actually think in some ways, not being someone
Speaker 1: that is as recognizable allowed you to have this superpower
Speaker 1: in a way just sort of be the voice of
Speaker 1: the people.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good way of looking at it.
Speaker 2: You know, when I first went into the jungle, I
Speaker 2: did recognize quite a lot of the camp mate.
Speaker 4: Of course, that can be so intimidating because you know.
Speaker 2: The history, you know what platform that they have. But
Speaker 2: I think you're right when you say it could be
Speaker 2: almost a bit of a dark Force moment because because
Speaker 2: a lot of the campmates you know, didn't miss some
Speaker 2: of them did, but like some of them all, so
Speaker 2: I didn't know my background, and so I think it
Speaker 2: actually made for quite interesting conversation because they had to
Speaker 2: effectively start from the very beginning.
Speaker 4: But I wasn't too.
Speaker 2: Worried that I didn't have a huge social media following
Speaker 2: for when and I think I had like thirty five
Speaker 2: thousand on Instagram or something. But I did know that
Speaker 2: as long as I was really honest and very genuine,
Speaker 2: that I would get what I wanted out of the experience,
Speaker 2: and I would hope that the viewers who were out
Speaker 2: there could find something anything that I said relatable and
Speaker 2: hopefully take some part of that away with them. That
Speaker 2: was my mission the entire time, and I don't think
Speaker 2: that it mattered whether I had a huge social media
Speaker 2: following or not, as long as I was able to
Speaker 2: be really honest with what my experiences were like.
Speaker 4: I feel like someone could take something away from that.
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people did, you know, And
Speaker 1: I think watching you in there flourishing in that way
Speaker 1: made you as popular as you were, because you know,
Speaker 1: you beat so many other celebrities that were in there
Speaker 1: for a reason. It wasn't just oh well, I guess
Speaker 1: there's a few votes between the two. You were extraordinarily popular,
Speaker 1: and I think it came down to a lot of that.
Speaker 3: You know, that's good.
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people could go into this experience,
Speaker 2: you know, with pretty big names in the jungle and
Speaker 2: feeling a sense of I suppose impostera syndrome. But one
Speaker 2: thing about going into the jungle for me, I never
Speaker 2: really felt imposter syndrome because I knew that I had
Speaker 2: an amazing story in terms of being a paralympian, being
Speaker 2: a person that lives with a disability, that it's a
Speaker 2: sorry that isn't really told too much on reality television
Speaker 2: in particular, And so I knew that.
Speaker 4: I had something really important.
Speaker 2: To say and that kind of overrid any kind of
Speaker 2: imposter syndrome, if that makes sense.
Speaker 3: I think if for a very good reason.
Speaker 1: And you know, it was nice to be able to
Speaker 1: see you in there representing, you know, the para Olympians.
Speaker 1: I think that was quite amazing. I guess in some ways,
Speaker 1: it's not like you're the most common celebrity that gets
Speaker 1: put into a sh like this. So how does an
Speaker 1: opportunity to go on a celebrity show like this come
Speaker 1: up for you? Had you put your hand up or
Speaker 1: had someone sort of jobbed you in?
Speaker 3: Like? How did how did this come across your desk?
Speaker 4: That's a really great question.
Speaker 2: My cousin was on season two of the show, and
Speaker 2: so I kind of I started actually watching from season one,
Speaker 2: but I really became hooked on the show in season
Speaker 2: two because she was on the show, and then I
Speaker 2: fell in love with the whole format of the program,
Speaker 2: how like wholesome the show is, and so I've watched
Speaker 2: it every year since, and every year I've always said
Speaker 2: I would love to take a go and have a
Speaker 2: go at this show, Like I just find this show incredible.
Speaker 4: I would love to be part of it.
Speaker 2: And I suppose over the years, more and more people
Speaker 2: have just heard me say that, And so this year
Speaker 2: it just came across my desk and they said, would
Speaker 2: you like to be involved? And I was like, oh
Speaker 2: my gosh, Yes. I didn't even need to think twice
Speaker 2: about it.
Speaker 4: It was.
Speaker 2: It was really intimidating in the week's leading in because
Speaker 2: you knew that you were going to be disconnected for
Speaker 2: what could be a month. And I've got a nine
Speaker 2: week old at home, and I knew that I'd be
Speaker 2: leaving him behind for a couple of weeks, and I
Speaker 2: was so worried that I was going to miss so
Speaker 2: much time with him. But it's been an incredible experience,
Speaker 2: like it's a once in a lifetime opportunity, and the
Speaker 2: memories that I've made, the people that I've met, Honestly,
Speaker 2: like I can't put into words just how difficult it was,
Speaker 2: but also how challenging it was in a good way,
Speaker 2: like in terms of I learned so much about myself
Speaker 2: that will completely change my life forever, like it's going
Speaker 2: to completely change the way that I do things forever,
Speaker 2: and not many people get to experience that in such
Speaker 2: concentration over like a four week period.
Speaker 1: Of course, you know, it's interesting you touched on a
Speaker 1: few things there about this show and about how it
Speaker 1: is very family friendly and the type of people in
Speaker 1: there that they choose bond because of you knowing that brand,
Speaker 1: and maybe producers will tell you that that's what the
Speaker 1: show is. Do you think that everyone that gets peak
Speaker 1: to do this show is very nice?
Speaker 3: Nice? Or do you think that they're just living up to.
Speaker 1: That brand, because I mean surely, I mean this year,
Speaker 1: you guys you know very cool Baya. Is that genuinely
Speaker 1: who you all are? Or do you think that everyone
Speaker 1: leans into being nice?
Speaker 2: No, it was very genuine, and I think that's what
Speaker 2: made the show so successful this year. From what I've
Speaker 2: heard and from what my experiences were, I feel everyone
Speaker 2: that I got to know in that jungle is so
Speaker 2: genuine and I think that that's a huge credit to
Speaker 2: the show itself in the way that they cast these people.
Speaker 2: And I suppose the platform that this show has really
Speaker 2: reflects what Australia is like, so to be able to
Speaker 2: be a person with a disability and be cast into
Speaker 2: this show.
Speaker 4: I suppose is.
Speaker 2: A really great opportunity for Australians to learn about what
Speaker 2: it's like to have a disability. And so I don't
Speaker 2: think that anyone is ingenuine or leaning into an image.
Speaker 2: I think that the cast that they chose this year
Speaker 2: were phenomenal, and I think it's just a huge credit
Speaker 2: to some amazing people who work behind the scenes for
Speaker 2: this show, that have been doing this for a very
Speaker 2: long time, and they know what personalities work with other personalities,
Speaker 2: and I'm telling you they absolutely narrowed it this year.
Speaker 1: You also said something which was interesting. I can't remember
Speaker 1: whether I read it. You mentioned that you'd always wanted
Speaker 1: to do a show like this and sort of before
Speaker 1: you were saying you'd put it out into the zipiast
Speaker 1: that you'd love to do I'm a celebrity. But had
Speaker 1: you ever come close to maybe applying or wanting to
Speaker 1: do another reality show?
Speaker 3: No, okay, I haven't.
Speaker 4: I love I do love reality television. I love watching it.
Speaker 4: I was a huge fan of the Bachelor for years.
Speaker 2: In fact, when I was an athlete, I used to
Speaker 2: not go to training on Wednesday.
Speaker 4: Nights because I told my coach I have.
Speaker 2: To be home for bat tonight. It was the only
Speaker 2: time I missed training, by the way.
Speaker 4: But I'm not.
Speaker 2: Necessarily interested in doing reality television because I know it's
Speaker 2: a huge commitment for the people who partake in those
Speaker 2: shows in terms of going away for one month, two month,
Speaker 2: three months. And I knew that a show like this
Speaker 2: but like I'm a celerity to get me out of here,
Speaker 2: I knew that it really challenged each camp mate individually
Speaker 2: and it was more of like a self exploration expedition,
Speaker 2: and that's what I was interested in. I wasn't necessarily
Speaker 2: interested so much in the reality television part. But it
Speaker 2: was funny because when I did arrive into the jungle,
Speaker 2: I realized that, well, there's like edit microphone around my
Speaker 2: neck twenty four hours a day and everything is getting recorded,
Speaker 2: and everything that I say is getting recorded.
Speaker 4: And that was a real adjustment for me.
Speaker 1: It takes a while because then you think, oh God,
Speaker 1: what if I just said, And that for the first
Speaker 1: few days is quite actually stressful. I was going to
Speaker 1: ask you, who do you want to win? I've got
Speaker 1: two last questions. I've got to smash these together, so
Speaker 1: very short answers, if possible, Who do you want to win?
Speaker 2: I spent a lot of time with Tristan and he's
Speaker 2: my best friend in there. He got me through some
Speaker 2: really dark time, So I'm going for Tristan.
Speaker 3: Amazing.
Speaker 1: And what is something from behind the scenes, something that
Speaker 1: maybe the average person who watches this show wouldn't expect
Speaker 1: happens whilst making it.
Speaker 4: Oh, that's a really great question.
Speaker 2: One thing that I did know is that the waterfall
Speaker 2: is so far away from camp in terms of you
Speaker 2: have to walk quite a distance and you can only
Speaker 2: go once or twice a day, and so you need
Speaker 2: to go on That's one thing I never knew when
Speaker 2: I was watching the show.
Speaker 4: Can I just go whenever you feel like it? I
Speaker 4: was like, what what do you mean?
Speaker 3: I need to go to the waterfall? Take me there now.
Speaker 4: I had plans on spending all day next to the waterfall.
Speaker 4: Turns out I couldn't do that.
Speaker 3: I've interfered with the microphones.
Speaker 1: Can I just say how much I thoroughly enjoyed you
Speaker 1: on this show and I want to thank you for
Speaker 1: being so generous with your time and chatting to me.
Speaker 1: And I can't wait to see what is going to
Speaker 1: happen with you moving out of this because so many
Speaker 1: more Australians have fallen in love with you and found
Speaker 1: your story through this show, and I think that there's
Speaker 1: some amazing things that are going to happen to you,
Speaker 1: so I'll look forward to that.
Speaker 4: Thank you so much. You are the best.
