The 10 contestants on I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here have learned a little about the human jungle - by finally coming face to face with each other.

Despite the fact that they could be stuck together for two weeks, some of the show's stars had never actually set eyes on each other.

One of the show's personalities, former Sex Pistol John Lydon, almost didn't turn up to meet glamour model Jordan, long-suffering Alex Best, ex-pop star Peter Andre, Kerry McFadden and the others.

The rocker had been suffering from severe jet-lag and when he finally stumbled into the champagne reception where the celebrities, including shamed aristocrat Lord Brocket, royal reporter Jennie Bond, ex-Olympic athlete Diane Modahl, soccer hardman Neil Ruddock and DJ Mike Read were gathered, he said: "Hello to anyone who's interested.

"My name's John and I'm jet-lagged."

Ruddock is 5-2 favourite to win the new series followed by Lydon at 10-3, according to bookies William Hill.
