Cover your eyes: there will be crying!

I'm a celebrity…get me out of here!
STV2, Sat 22:45

Ten Danish celebrities (they exist?) are being shipped off to South Africa to participate in the Danish version of I’m a Celebrity … get me out of here. They will strive to be crowned king or queen of the jungle – putting the celebration in celebrity for once.

During their stay, viewers vote celebrities off the show. The public nominates which contestants must complete tasks enabling the selected celebrity to gain food for the camp. The tasks are physical or mental challenges designed to force the participant out of their comfort zones. Find out if hunger trumps fear after all.

There is no place to hide from the cameras. Expect epic breakdowns that transcend language barriers as the celebrities push their boundaries to take first prize. Unlike its British predecessor, the winner keeps the 250,000 kroner prize instead of donating it to charity. 

If the celebrity decides it’s all too much they can yell out the name of the show and leave the jungle behind. The only other way to exit the jungle, with all its horrors, is to endure until the end. This might be the longest couple of weeks the celebrities ever experience. (MD)
