I'M A CELEBRITY: MEAL GOOD FACTOR
Carol's star role on Highway to Hell


CAROL Thatcher last night delivered dinner to almost half the camp after a terrifying drive on a track 100ft above the jungle.

The 52-year-old secured four out of a possible 10 meals for her first bushtucker trial, the Highway to Hell, while behind the wheel of a small, specially built motor.

Carol had to deliver stars from a mailbag into post-boxes on the track, while trying to avoid letting the buggy-type car plunge into the valley below.

But she must have had an inkling it would go wrong. After all, she never learned to drive and her brother Mark once got lost in the desert on a rally, so Carol and cars don't exactly mix.

It came as no surprise when she lost control and the £4,000 vehicle hurtled off the track and smashed into the jungle, leaving her dangling in mid-air on a safety harness.

Carol had told hosts Ant and Dec it would end in tears before she set off.



She said: "Look, I warned you I didn't have a driving licence. I don't drive, I take taxis. Call me a cab. If I'd have known this, I would have brought my chauffeur."

In a cheeky dig at her weekend antics - when she had a wee by her bed in the early hours - medic Bob asked: "Are you sure you don't need a pit stop before you go?"

When she set off over the ravine Carol said: "Sh*t, it looks pretty hairy." She almost came a cropper delivering the third star.

But her confidence grew after the fourth delivery. So did her speed and that's when she and the car parted company. As Carol dangled in the air, she bellowed: "Sh*t!"

Afterwards Carol said: "When I saw the buggy and the tracks across the ravine, I thought unless that's remote-controlled and welded to the tracks then I'm going to have a problem. And you know what they say about women drivers." But she was rewarded for her efforts by being made team captain for the day. And it didn't take Carol long to start bossing the others around - drawing comparisons with her mum Maggie.

David Dickinson said she was "a chip off the old block of Lady T".

Carol was later humiliated during a quiz when she failed to recognise the quote "being powerful is like being a lady - if you have to tell people you are, then you aren't" came from her mother. But Jenny Frost guessed it right. Mirror

He's like a tick is Mr Dickinson, seeing how far he can burrow up Carol, Maggie 2's a**e the creep

that was so funny the way carol was about to try the car challenge without a safety harness

she's either bonkers or just plain thick

I was talking to my mum and saying "She needs a helmet surely"

lol, I know - she didn't even ask how they were going to make it safer!!!

Either very brave, or a half wit, surely!!

Jimmy on kangaroos, "they're jumpy little things arn't they?" Well yes. Thought he did quite well though. I feel sorry for the person who had to stick the stars on the kangaroo tails in the first place.

JIMMY Osmond became the third camper to win just four meals for the group last night after he was freaked out by some kangaroos.

For his bushtucker trial the singer had to chase the nervy Aussie animals around a pen, take stars from their tails and place them in his own pouch.

He grumbled: "I didn't want to be in it. I've never been disembowelled before but there is always a first time."Crawling in on all fours, he managed to grab four stars before one roo started to sniff his shoes. Jimmy stood still but with the clock ticking the kangaroos picked up on the tension and started getting jumpy - literally.

One male got on to his back legs and started hissing at Jimmy, who replied: "It's all right, buddy."

He moaned later: "It's not good enough for me. "I let myself down and the team. I wanted five."

Ratings for Monday topped the launch show with 9.9 million tuning in - and a peak of 10.3 million.
