Emmerdale's Sheree Murphy and Blue's Antony Costa have been given a secret mission on reality TV show I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here.
They were tasked to find out snippets of information about fellow celebrities in exchange for chocolate brownies.
Sheree established the names of Jimmy's family members and then moved onto asking Bobby Ball how he asked Yvonne to be his wife.
Antony asked Atomic Kitten Jenny Frost about weird fans. Jenny replied: "A weird one was this guy asked me to sign my name on his chest. I saw him about a week later and he'd had it tattooed! And I had a stalker from Germany who wanted to kill me."
Jimmy shocked the group by telling them the length some fans will go to get close to their idols. "Two girls mailed themselves to us. They mailed themselves in a crate!" he explained, waving his hand back and forth in front of his nose to indicate their smell.
Antony then asked Sid Owen about his best moment in EastEnders. But Carol Thatcher rumbled the quest, saying: "Have you got a deal on the brownies? Is this why you are asking all these questions?" A fibbing Antony denied the allegation.
Sid said: "God, I wouldn't know… I suppose with Patsy (Palmer). We joined about the same time and used to knock around together. My brother used to knock around with her brother."
He went on to tell about an illicit trip the four of them had taken - Patsy, Sid and their brothers - to Margate when they had been 11 and had lied to their parents so they could stay overnight.
The conversation then turned to Carol. Bobby asked her if there was a man in her life, to which Carol replied: "No, I kinda go without thanks."
Sheree joined in, asking her: "Are you really sick of men in that way?" Carol replied: "Yeah, you pass your sell-by-date and so do they." Sheree complimented Carol with: "They do, not you."
