Tonight's episode of I'm a Celebrity certainly lived up to expectations.

Last night on Celebrity Unpacked, it was revealed that Melvin Odoom would do the next Bushtucker trial instead of Barry McGuigan.

Odoom teamed up with Oti Mabuse for Tank of Terror.

But everyone - celebs and viewers alike - was more focused on one thing, the wet morning in camp.


It was a wet day in camp, a very wet day in camp at that.

But thankfully, the main part of the camp seemed to be protected from the elements.

The celebs were all having to be 'frugal' with their dollars and that seemed to affect everyone's mood, naturally.

Before long, everyone's favourite vicar, Richard Coles, showered former Love Islander Maura Higgins with praise, even going as far as to say "If I was heterosexual I'd be at your feet with flowers".

Maura, flattered, responded: "Aww thank you father."

And viewers loved it.

One said: "Isn't Richard supposed to be called reverend or Vicar? I think it's so funny how Maura keeps calling him Father. You can take the girl out of Ireland......"

Another said: "Love how Maura calls Reverend Richard " Father " all the time ."

Someone else commented: "Maura saying "Ohhh Father" is just all levels of naughty"

Last night on I'm a Celebrity:

Melvin took aim at the newly christened 'Houdini', aka Dean McCullough, so named for his impressive disappearing acts.

Melvin and Dean were tasked with gathering water for camp, but Dean decided to shower first, much to everyone's annoyance.

Elsewhere, tensions have been rising in camp. Yes, because of Dean, again.

GK Barry playfully threw shade at Dean McCullough as she said everyone in camp was hard-working "minus Dean" after the star had been refusing to do his duties.

Her comment was prompted after new rules were enforced in camp as the celebrities now can spend money to make their lives easier in the jungle. They can buy firewood or fresh water for $10 without having to do any work.
