Natalie's ex sounds like a right scum-bag



SHE'S A CELEB RATTY GIVE 'ER HELL IN THERE!




Nat was a drug-fuelled raging monster..her jungle pals will boil her in pot

A HUNKY male stripper told last night of his hellish marriage to I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here favourite Natalie Appleton.

Carl Robinson, 37, branded the pop beauty a "monster" who will make her fellow contestants lives a misery in the jungle challenge.

Former All Saints star Natalie, 31, is 7-4 favourite to win the smash-hit ITV series which returns tonight.

But Carl, a member of the Dreamboys strip group, said: "If she shows just one bit of her true personality the others will be boiling her up in a cooking pot.

"She was domineering, neurotic and there were times when she beat me up. One thing is for sure, I will be voting for her to do every single horrible challenge."

Carl, speaking exclusively to The People, told how nasty Nat...




DRUGS AND VIOLENCE: Natalie

ATTACKED him in front of his fans as she seethed with jealousy at his raunchy stage performances.

FLEW into wild tempers, once smashing up his car after she found a newspaper with glamour girls in it.

DISGUISED herself in wigs to sneak into his shows so she could check he was being faithful.

SMEARED food over his Dreamboy outfits when she could not attend.

EXHAUSTED him with her non-stop lust and used bananas and cucumbers in kinky sex games.

DID DRUGS with him on wild club nights.

LAZED around their home turning it into a pigsty - but had a bizarre phobia about dirty toilet seats.

Carl was introduced to unknown teenager Natalie in a London club by her actress pal Samantha Janus and they married two years later.

Carl said: "Sex with Natalie was absolutely amazing. She was up for it anywhere, any time and the riskier the the place the better.

"Once she began pleasuring me under a blanket on a plane while we were flying from America.

"She also demanded sex in my car while parked in a churchyard.

"The only problem was that there was a wedding going on and the bridal party must have seen my Ford Fiesta rocking up and down.

"Another time she had her wicked way with me in a Talbot Sunbeam while her sister Nicole kept saying 'Oh, Natalie'."

One Hallowe'en Natalie dressed up as goofy-toothed Janet Street-Porter - who is also on I'm A Celebrity.

Carl said: "Later that night she was about to perform a sex act on me but as she opened her mouth I saw she had the fanged false teeth still in.

"I jumped up immediately. All I could think of was the nervous horror of men if Janet were to pleasure them.

"Natalie was into props for sex games in a big way. She used bananas and cucumbers and always wanted me to dress up in my stage navy and fireman's uniforms. She was also up for drugs but then she wanted sex over and over again." Natalie hated Carl stripping for other women and constantly accused him of having sex with his fans.

He said: "During a Dreamboys show in Cardiff, I stripped behind a screen in silhouette. The audience could see what a big boy I am and went wild.

"Natalie came charging round during the interval and slapped me across the face in front of the rest of the cast.

"She was screaming abuse calling me 'a f***ing pervert'. My manager told me to lock her in the dressing room so we could carry on.

"Another time she punched me in the stomach when I kissed a girl on the cheek as I was signing autographs.

"We tried to stop her coming to shows but she would sneak in disguised in her coloured wigs.

"The most ridiculous thing she did was sabotage my uniforms. Once I got to a show and opened my kitbag and there were potatoes, beans and bits of chop smeared all over the clothes."

Natalie's wild temper would flare up over the slightest thing.

Carl said: "She once ripped off her bra in Oxford Street at 3am and screamed insults over something so petty I can't even remember what it was.

"People must have thought I was trying to rape her. And she smashed up my car when one of the guys left a newspaper with topless girls in it. But I just put her wild moods down to immaturity."

The couple tried to make a fresh start with baby daughter Rachel in the US.

But Carl could not get a work visa and they returned to London to a council flat in Camden. Carl said: "Natalie was a slob. She turned the flat into a tip. There were clothes everywhere. The kitchen sink was full of burned saucepans and tea cups. Natalie could not cook. Everything was a takeaway.

"The shambles was made worse. She let her pet dog to excrete on the carpet as she was too lazy to take him out.

"The strange thing was she was fastidious about the toilet seat and her own tea cup.

"She used to scrub the seat furiously every day with disinfectant and did the same to her cup with an identical-looking brush.

"After she tipped food over my costumes, I took revenge by swapping the two brushes around. I enjoyed watching her clean her cup with her loo brush."

The marriage disintegrated and the couple divorced as Natalie's pop career took off. She's now married to Prodigy star Liam Howlett.

Carl, who is now helping launch the Dreamboys' first all-girl strip club in the City of London, added: "I've got myself together after the nightmare with Natalie.

"But the other contestants should be warned. She'll destroy them if she gets half a chance like she almost destroyed me."

Natalie's management refused to comment.

People

I thought it was him who used to beat her up.
Well that's what it says in the Appleton's biography.
Still who's to know who's telling the truth?

There is always 3 sides to a story. his, hers and the truth.
Even if part of the story is true, what does my head in with all this type of 'exclusive' crap by some injured party is the female is made out to sex-mad and 'up for it' and takes 'advantage' of the poor unwilling male. As if. Shows what he thinks of their daughter talking about her Mum like that.

i really like natalie! And her ex does sound liek an idiot!

Nat happy ... All Saints star Natalie looks tearful on her first day

FORMER All Saints star Natalie Appleton nearly quit on her first night in the I’m A Celebrity jungle camp.

The troubled blonde, who admitted BEFORE the show that she is on the brink of a nervous breakdown, threw a wobbler on the Australian set.

She said: “I’m not pretending, I can’t handle it. I’ve not slept for two days, I can’t be Super Nat — I’m not. I’m going to go home.”

Three Degrees singer Sheila Ferguson, a fellow contestant on the ITV show, urged her to sleep on it.

But Natalie, 31, cried: “I don’t know if I can do this. This is not me, I don’t think I’ve got the strength. I can’t snap out of it.

“I’m not mentally prepared for this right now, I can’t do it.”

And Natalie, who topped the charts in 1998 with the All Saints hit Never Ever, was not the only celeb losing it as the show’s new series kicked off on TV last night.

Journalist Janet Street-Porter, 57, made TWO enemies — falling out with singer Brian Harvey, 30, and ex-royal butler Paul Burrell, 46.

Mum-of-two Natalie, wed to Prodigy star Liam Howlett, also broke down in the show’s diary room, saying: “I’m really tired, exhausted.”

And things got no better when she finally made her way back to camp and turned in for the night.

She woke all her fellow celebs in the early hours, shrieking: “There’s a spider on my bed, can someone come and get it?”

Nightclub boss Fran Cosgrave, who dated glamour girl Jodie Marsh, dashed to the rescue — but by then the creature had disappeared.

Natalie apologised, saying: “No one has to wake up, I’m really sorry, go back to sleep.”

Yet exhausted Janet, who earlier consoled Natalie, moaned: “Why must she wake up everyone? It’s so inconsiderate, everyone gets woken up.”

Sheila, 56, said: “I love Natalie to death — but I could kill her right now.” Natalie admitted in an interview hours before arriving at camp that she has a fear of communal toilets and is obsessed with cleanliness.

She said: “I must nip in the bud the compulsive things I do. My obsessive behaviour is getting out of hand. Dealing with my fears in the jungle will help immensely.”

Janet and Burrell argued after she said he must have been “brainwashed” to be Princess Di’s butler.

Janet said: “You have to be servile for a long time and know your place.” Burrell replied: “I know my place”, but Janet replied: “What a mindset — he’s brainwashed.”

Burrell said of his butler’s role: “If you don’t like it, you get out.” But Janet continued to dig at him.

Comic Joe Pasquale lightened the mood by telling newly-toned Burrell: “What big man breasts you’ve got — a nice upper body!”

Brian upset Janet by asking for a fag. She grumbled: “Not another smoker. I’ll get bloody cancer.”

Fran, 26, won only four meals in the first Bushtucker Trial after insects nibbled his PRIVATES.

He lay in a pen as wiggling creatures were emptied over him, but had to stop before the end. He apologised, saying: “I’m sorry, something’s biting me on the nuts.”

Natalie was last night picked to perform the second Bushtucker Trial — titled Canopy Calamity. She will have to walk a tightrope 200ft above the camp while pushing a shopping trolley and wearing a safety harness.

Completing the celebrity line-up are Antonio Fargas, Sophie Anderton and Nancy Sorrell.



NANCY Sorrell was another contestant to blub — because she is missing comedian husband Vic Reeves.

Sophie moved in to comfort blonde Nancy as she sobbed: “I can’t ring him. I haven’t seen him for ages and I’m just missing him.

“I’m really enjoying it here, but I’m just missing him — they’re sort of like happy tears.”

Ironically, former lapdancer Nancy had been one of the stars who tried to comfort Natalie when SHE broke down earlier.

Nat's Ticked Off Next Tabloids story

THE Australian doctor who yesterday claimed that woman deal better with pain than men had clearly never come across Natalie Appleton.
Crying you, me and everyone else a river
The former All Saint became the first contestant on this year’s I’m A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! to break down in tears – less than 24 hours into the show.

In fact, the Star says the 31-year-old was already cracking up on the helicopter taking her and her nine fellow contestants to the jungle clearing where some of them will spend part of the next fortnight.

“I can’t handle it,” she sobbed. “I’ve not slept for two days. I can’t be Super Nat. I’m not. I can’t do it. This isn’t me. I don’t think I have the strength.”

Nat might not have the strength, but her alter ego Super Nat does – if only she can summon her up.

Indeed, an accident at birth gave Super Nat superhuman powers that allow her to spend 24 hours in something other than a five-star hotel without turning into a blubbing mess.

Unfortunately, fellow contestant Nancy Sorrell has no superhero alter ego to turn to in moments of crisis and, having entertained her jungle buddies with a version of Cry Me A River, she proceeded to, well, cry them a river.

The Mirror says she was quick to follow Natalie with the waterworks, weeping as she told how she was missing husband Vic Reeves.

“I can’t ring him,” she spluttered. “I haven’t seen him for ages and I’m missing him.”

All of which must come as something of an embarrassment to Professor Mari Botti, of Deakin University, who chose the very day to publish research suggesting that women cope far better under duress than men.

He studied 100 patients recovering from heart surgery and concluded that women need lower doses of morphine and for less time to cope with the pain after the operation.

And the Mail says the reason may be different perceptions of pain levels.

“Women,” it concludes, “may simply not complain as much as men.”

Which makes us very glad that it is the Appleton sisters and not the Appleton brothers...

Nat's a fighter like me

I’M A CELEB winner Kerry McFadden last night said terrified Natalie Appleton was suffering the same jungle nightmare she endured.

But she backed the troubled singer to battle through it and become Queen of the Jungle too.

Kerry, 24, won the ITV reality show’s last series despite starting out with a dread of creepy crawlies and dangerous jungle challenges.

She warned Natalie must give up her girlie behaviour to survive her Aussie test.
NERVY Natalie Appleton trembled with fear as she tackled her sky-high Bushtucker Trial — 200ft above the Celebrity jungle camp.

Even before she was harnessed up for her high-wire act, she whimpered: “Mummy I can’t do this.”

And as she edged away from the platform for the Canopy Calamity trial, she pleaded: “I’m not happy. Help me. Help me!”

To win meals for her pals, Natalie — famed for the All Saints hit Never Ever — had to push a shopping trolley along a mid-air cable.

Given just three minutes, she had to collect five orange stars dropped at timed intervals.

She then had to reach to grab five dangling red stars. Told her task, Natalie said: “My knees have gone like jelly. It’s my ultimate fear, but I’ll do it for my kids.”

She collected seven stars and yelled to her 11-year-old daughter:

“There you go Rachel, I did it.”

But back on the platform she felt faint and was given oxygen.

WEEPY singer Natalie Appleton, 31, has admitted she used to take anti-depressants — but came off them when she realised they weren’t working. Sun

Natalie used the "because of the way I've been edited" excuse for her trial tonight. Why do the whinegers always blame the editing? If they were not acting like prima donna's the camera crew would not have the footage to show them in such a bad light.

Natalie's live bushtucker trial failed spectacularly as she gained a timid 2 stars.

Fresh from her amazing row with Sophie - the All Saints star was clearly still brooding.

'I've been edited' she cried, complaining that she was up for the trial because the tellypeople had displayed her in a bad light.

Things got worse as she started blaming X-Factor's Kate Thorton for even coming on the show.

Finally things settled down and nervy Nat was strapped into the harness faced with 5 mysterious tanks.

It was still a full 10 minutes before she was dunked for the first time.

'I'm going to be sick' she bellowed. She was still on terra firma.

An exacerbated Ant and Dec replied, 'Good!'.

But who could blame her. these were no Jacuzzis.

First up she was lowered into a tank of (slippery, but not electric, Nat) eels.

One Star claimed.

Next following another lengthy umming and arring she plummets into a tank of fly pupae.

Now this wasn't nice! It looked like a tank of wallpaper paste only stinkier and much worse.

And that was that. Nat, feeling worse for wear, was through gaining just 2 stars.

For the record:

Tank 3 was fishguts

Tank 4 Turkey feathers and red ants

Tank 5 cockroaches

Poor Nat is having a hard time. Still it's a jungle out there, folks.

Muddy hell

MOANING Natalie Appleton was picked for her FIFTH Bushtucker Trial today — the toughest challenge so far.

Viewers will tonight see her face being buried up to her neck in a muddy swamp, then have RATS and SNAKES dumped on her head.

As hosts Ant and Dec revealed she had been voted to face another ordeal, Nat said: “Shall I get my coat? I might as well have come here on my own. Thank you England.”

A show insider said the On Your Knees trial was “definitely one of our most evil”, adding: “We’ll need a fleet of oxygen tanks for Natalie!”

Her jungle pals did not look happy to hear it was again up to Nat to win their food. Janet Street-Porter consoled her: “How many meals did we have yesterday? We were fine.”

Nat, who has broken soccer ace John Fashanu’s record for Bushtucker Trials, said: “I was going to go home. I am constantly under pressure. But my camp are so supportive.”

She was given oxygen yet again yesterday in her fourth trial, Slither River, in which she gained just one star — worth one meal for the group.

The ex-All Saints star had to dive into a lagoon filled with eels and snakes to fetch ten stars from curly sticks. The longer it took, the more snakes were released into the water.

She quit, announcing: “I’m really light-headed. I’m really sorry.”

Later she dried off in the sun with bikini-clad Sophie Anderton and Nancy Sorrell — who, with Paul Burrell, walked a high wire above a ravine to get the celebrity chest.

Blonde Nancy cried “I feel sick,” then lost her grip and fell off — and was left dangling on a safety harness.
Paul, who said he thought he would “wet my pants”, continued by himself.

Nancy sobbed back at the camp when they failed a quiz and were not allowed to open the goodies chest. Later she opened it anyway, declaring: “We don’t care — we are hungry.”

Joe Pasquale warned: “They are going to take something back for that.”

Natalie's gone ... totally gone

JUNGLE quitter Natalie Appleton last night revealed how the telly ordeal was driving her bonkers.

The pop star, who feared she was “cracking up”, left admitting: “I felt I was Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz.”

Mum-of-two Nat, 31 — scared of heights, bugs and trees — was checked by a psychologist after walking out of the jungle early yesterday.


The tired star was driven to a hotel in a 4x4 while quivering under a blanket.

She was helped into her plush suite then PASSED OUT on her bed. Show chiefs called a doctor.

Later she was heard yelling and swearing. She told producers: “I was under so much pressure doing those trials. I thought I was going to crack up. It’s a lot harder than I thought.”
After saying farewells to the others, Nat, told the Bush Telegraph: “I felt I was Dorothy saying goodbye to the Lion, the Tinman and the Scarecrow.’”

Nat, who was voted to do five trials, told Ant and Dec: “I never had a day I could get myself together. I was not physically prepared and definitely not mentally prepared.”
