December 4, 20204 yr Well done, :cheer: Thanks :D I originally went to put £150 on her when she was 4/1 but William Hill's maximum stake was £82.50 :cry: Can't complaining though! Lovely treat just in time for Christmas.
December 5, 20204 yr I really thought Jordan was going to win, I'm surprised! But happy for them both and I don't think it will matter whether Jordan won or not, he'll still have lots of opportunities now from this. Hope he doesn't leave radio 1 though :cry:
December 5, 20204 yr I am glad Giovanna won. I called it after 4 or 5 days into the series - she's just so down-to-earth and lovely and the I'm A Celeb fans clearly love that (Vicky Pattinson, Stacy Solomon, Kerry Katona, Charlie Brooks, Scarlett Moffat etc...) I found Jordan somewhat entertaining but generally quite frustrating to watch so I'm glad he didn't win.
December 5, 20204 yr It maybe makes it petty from me but that’s one of the main reasons why I can’t ever engage with any of the Global output because their pettiness is incredibly bizarre, so immature and childlike. People aren’t going to flock in their millions over to Radio 1 just because you acknowledge it’s existence.
December 7, 20204 yr Just listened to Jordan's interview with Greg James on R1 and he said ITV struggle to get the rights for songs by The Beatles, Queen or Disney music, so if there was something they wanted to chat about that they didn't want shown on TV, then someone would sing a song by one of them at the same time :lol: Hope we get the voting stats soon! Well, at least for the final, as I don't think they released all of them last year
December 14, 20204 yr They've revealed the voting stats for the final: The Celebrity with the lowest number of votes was 3rd place Giovanna 39.45% Jordan 34.06% Vernon 26.5% The Celebrity with the highest number of votes was the winner Giovanna 50.27% Jordan 49.73% Woah at how close it was in the end!!! :o
December 14, 20204 yr Author I wonder why they don't release the votes for every poll now? (Maybe because Hollie wasn't actually voted for the trial? x)
December 15, 20204 yr They've revealed the voting stats for the final: The Celebrity with the lowest number of votes was 3rd place Giovanna 39.45% Jordan 34.06% Vernon 26.5% The Celebrity with the highest number of votes was the winner Giovanna 50.27% Jordan 49.73% Woah at how close it was in the end!!! :o I had a feeling it was close . Jordan was probably playing catch up in the vote as that final episode was a very good one for him . I reckon he could of possibly took the win if the vote was open for a little longer.
December 17, 20204 yr Author Quite an interesting anecdote from gameshow blog Bother's Bar! Finally have something to contribute, although not that exciting all things considered and maybe a bit “Digital Spy” but who cares Was speaking to someone who knows Prince of The Castle Jordan North and they said that he only agreed to go in very last minute having been asked earlier in the summer then turned down. Jordan then revealed this on Radio 1 last week – but what he didn’t reveal (Obviously) was that someone didn’t drop out, someone was basically chucked out. During the promo shoot a few weeks before this person was apparently so vile and hard to work with that they got told they were off the show – which matches up with the more nicey nicey vibe they’ve had in camp this year (and recent years). Would obviously be more interesting if I knew who this was, and I’ve not found a name yet despite the line up being hardly a secret when the promo shoots are going on. Oh well. Back to having nothing interesting to say next time. I love this sort of gossip :lol:
December 30, 20204 yr Author I was bored a while ago and noted down all the celebs' Instagram followers right after they were announced - here are the comparisons with where they are at now! Giovanna Fletcher: 1.4m - 1.9m (+500k) Mo Farah - 958k - 1.1m (+142k) AJ Pritchard - 597k - 734k (+137k) Jessica Plummer - 167k - 344k (+177k) Vernon Kay - 127k - 684k (+557k) Jordan North - 90k - 655k (+565k) Beverley Callard - 24.9k - 152k (+127.1k) Shane Ritchie - 19.8k - 259k (+239.2k) Victoria Derbyshire - 10.3k - 117K (+106.7k) Russell Watson - 3,175 - 85.2k (+82,025) Ruthie Henshall - 2,980 - 80.7k (+77,720) Hollie Arnold - 2,223 - 41.4k (+38,877) Big gains particularly for the top 3! Poor Hollie
December 30, 20204 yr I finally finished watching this a few days back. Would have preferred Jordan or Vernon winning but Giovanna did warm to me during the series. Pretty strong top 5 actually (I think Mo placed above AJ even if they technically exited together). Astonished that the winning margin was even tighter than last series which I thought would never be topped. Very strong series I think, one of the better ones of the last decade. Helped by a change in scenery & it being more of a distraction from the real world than usual. Still haven't got round to watching Ant & Dec's trial they filmed before the series.
