I'm a Celebrity…Get Me out of Here! is a United Kingdom reality television show in which celebrities live in jungle conditions with few creature comforts. The show is filmed live in Australia and broadcast on the ITV network and on TV3 in Ireland. It is sponsored in the UK by supermarket chain Iceland and in Ireland by Four Star Pizza.
The main show is hosted by Ant & Dec. Model and presenter Caroline Flack, and last year's winner Joe Swash from Eastenders. We will front the subsidiary behind-the-scenes show from Series 9, previously hosted by Mark Durden-Smith, Emma Willis and Matt Willis.[1]

[edit] Format
In return for their appearance on the show, the celebrities are asked to nominate a charity to which the producers, LWT (weekend shows) and Granada Television (weekday shows), make donations. The celebrities themselves are also paid a fee (reported to be £25,000 for UK competitors) to compensate them for possible loss of earnings while they are in the jungle. The producers of the show keep the precise details of the celebrities' contracts very private, prompting much speculation[citation needed] from the tabloid media. The money is raised by allowing viewers to vote by phone, text message or the "red button" (a colloquialism popular in the UK for TV interactive services) for the celebrity they would like to complete a "Bushtucker Trial" — a physical task usually involving snakes, spiders or other creepy-crawlies found in the jungle — and, later in each series, to vote for the celebrity they would like to see win the show. The last remaining celebrity after all others have been evicted is declared the winner of the show, and is branded "King- or Queen of the Jungle".
[edit] Filming location
The programme is filmed in Springbrook National Park, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.
Entering the filming location, there is an open area allocated with temporary buildings for on-site medic, etc., plus containers for storage of props, etc. It is in this area that family and friends of the Celebrities bide their time each morning during evictions - awaiting the fate of their loved ones. From this area, a restricted access road can be seen which climbs to where the temporary studios are situated. The road then heads down into a valley via four-wheel drive access to the set of the show.
Some of these areas are viewable from Google Earth, however, it is difficult to view the suspension bridges and open air studio that Ant & Dec broadcast from. While the roof of the main building is bright red, when filming is out of season, this whole area is covered with hessian to minimise viewing from the sky.
The creeks and camp areas are situated directly below the main suspension bridges. With being so close to the celebrities, crew have to be careful during filming to keep voices and music down.
Many of the bush tucker trials are not done here. In fact, some are done well away from the area.
The Park has a hotel attached minutes from the camp where crew and family members stay but once out of the jungle the Celebrities stay at the opulent six-star hotel.
[edit] Popularity and criticism
The finals of the second and third UK series were seen by 12.73 and 14.99 million people respectively[citation needed] — well over half of all people watching television in the country at the time of day in both cases.
The site in which the celebrities stay appears to be open to the elements, but is largely covered by sheets above the view of the cameras. In one episode, a celebrity had to swim in a swamp apparently infested with crocodiles. Marksmen were shown ready to shoot the animals if they attacked. In actuality, the area where this is filmed does not have crocodiles because it is too far south.
On series 9, it was reveled that Katie Price was getting paid almost 4 times more money than the rest of the contestents in series 9 which sparked some criticism. It was also reported that, due to the amount Katie Price was getting paid, cash-strapped ITV were unable to provide any more money for the series, and the quality of the trials went down. [2]

[edit] Controversies
- ITV apologised in 2006 after confusion over the instructions for telephone and 'red-button' interactive voting led to allegations in the media that the wrong person had been evicted in the run-off vote in series 6 between Toby Anstis and Dean Gaffney.[3]
- The show was forced to enhance its procedures after Ofcom found that after complaints, on the 23 November 2006 episode, the show had breached Rule 1.16 of the Broadcasting Code for airing bad language before the watershed.[4]
- The 30 November 2006 episode was ruled to have breached Rule 2.2 of the Broadcasting Code after an investigation launched as part of the wider UK television public voting controversy. Due to late running, seven percent of phone and text votes for that episode of the show were not counted, although this did not affect the result.[5]
- Sarah Matravers blamed the show for the breakdown of her relationship with contestant Marc Bannerman after he flirted with Cerys Matthews in series 7.[6] Cerys and Bannerman later alleged the show footage had been edited by ITV to look like more than it was.[7]
- Former Sex Pistols manager, Malcolm McLaren, who was due to appear on series 7 but pulled out at the last minute, alleged that the show and the choice of winner was fixed, and the trials posed no real danger. He alleged that show doctor told him that "Things are so safe, I would send my own kids in to do the show'. There is nothing bad in there. They're hoodwinking the public".[8]
- ITV apologised in 2009 for not having properly advised the contestants in series 9 of the relevant Australian legislation regarding animal cruelty.[9] Gino D'Acampo and Stuart Manning were charged by New South Wales Police after RSPCA Australia complained over their killing and eating of a rat during the show.[10]
