BB FANS

Well it's over; only another six months to the next jungle adventure and already we're getting itchy waiting for it.

Joe Pasquale is the King Of the Jungle, Paul Burrell is the Queen Of The Jungle, ITV are quids in and the manager of the Birmingham Hippodrome is the happiest man in Britain.

Why, I hear you ask? Because he has Joe tied down to a whole month over Christmas at his panto, Jack And The Beanstalk, alongside EastEnders' very own Miss Piggy, Letitia 'Hey Kermee' Dean. And expect an ad campaign with Jacob's Crackers before the year is out.

Girly screaming

But, the real star of course, has been the man who never talks about his past. Paul Burrell.

Take Jade Goody out of the equation and has any other reality telly 'star' given us more entertainment? Man, we love him!
From camp 'showtime' singalongs, girly screaming, ballsy attempts at some quite horrific bushtucker trials, the flirty spats with Janet, his unconditional love for Joe and the endless tears, he has been, quite simply, I'm A Celeb's best ever contestant.

Yes, there was Nat and Sophie's mega-row, but the best moment of the series - and maybe the best telly moment of 2004 - by an imperial mile was Prince Campness' yelps of horror - culminating in a torn shirt - during the bug-eating trial.

Majestic

Enjoy him now while you can, before you get fed up of his smarmy face smiling back at you on Currys ads between now and Christmas 2005.

So what else did we learn from this majestic fourth series? Well, Brian Harvey certainly lived up to his vow on GMTV three weeks ago to 'be himself'.

Still he had a nice jolly time Down Under in a five-star hotel and a whacking pay cheque to top up his wardrobe, not to mention his local McDonald's profits. Not bad for two days' 'work'.

Death warrant

Nat Appleton also signed the death warrant on her career.

Shallow, talentless, spoilt and, at times, a quite nasty piece of work are not ways I would describe her ... honest!
Her jealous-ometer rose daily as she recoiled in disgust at the fact Sophie was sexier, slightly more grounded (and that says something about Nat's tantrums) and better equipped to deal with jungle life.

Even so, Sophie made great eye candy but, as her fella admitted, "isn't the sharpest tool in the box".

Kings of telly

Huggy Bear was a big mistake. Full stop. Sheila had potential to entertain, when she wasn't bitching, but the clever old British public sussed her out from day one.

Vic, like many comedians, is actually not very interesting off stage. I'm A Celeb execs take note for future series. And Ant and Dec are still the undisupted kings of British telly.

From stifling laughter during Burrell's trials to almost losing it with Nat 'I Can't Do It' Appleton, the pint-sized duo ruled. Who needs an autocue with these lads around?

And last but not least, to our very own shameless sobbing butler, thank you for the music.
