OHMYGOSSIP — Rita Simons and Malique Thompson-Dwyer are to face the next Bushtucker Trial on ‘I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!’.
The 41-year-old actress – who is best-known for playing Roxy Mitchell in ‘EastEnders’ – and ‘Hollyoaks’ star Malique have been informed of their fate by ‘I’m a Celebrity’ co-hosts Dec Donnelly and Holly Willoughby.
The upcoming Trial has been named Drown and Out, although neither of the co-hosts revealed anymore details to the anxious-looking celebrities.
News of Drown and Out task was revealed after Noel Edmonds made his long-awaited entrance on this year’s show, with the TV veteran being declared the camp’s Emperor by Holly and Dec.
Explaining the significance of the title, Dec said: “From this point on, you are no longer masters of your own destiny. You are now gladiators and your fate will be decided by a new camp leader. All hail the Emperor.”
Noel’s appointment as the Emperor means he is now exempt from doing any work in the camp.
On the other hand, the other celebrities – who are now known as gladiators – are expected to perform tasks and face Bushtucker Trials in order to win food for Noel and his inner circle.
Noel was afforded the chance to choose a personal adviser and he appointed Harry Redknapp.
Later in the episode, Noel walked the gladiators back to the camp, where it was revealed that he and his adviser had been given their own private residence.
Revealing the news to the group, Noel said: “Welcome to the Emperor’s Camp. The Roman Palace is a private residence for the Emperor and his adviser.
“No one else is allowed to sleep in the palace. The Emperor’s throne is only to be used by the Emperor. When the bell tolls the Emperor and his adviser must enter the Palace to attend to Imperial business.”
