It's day five in the 'I'm A Celeb' jungle and the campmates are getting antsy.

In last night's episode, Noel Edmond's appeared and was crowned emperor of the camp.

This isn't sitting well with John Barrowman.

If you missed out on last night's episode, we've got your full catch up right here.

The Camp

The camp all started to wake up as Rita and James had a wash outside the dunny.

Both commented on how bad the smell was coming from the dunny and James couldn’t understand why considering they had only just emptied it the other day.

Malique then came out and Rita told him to keep the seat down after using the toilet.

Rita then needed to use the toilet but couldn’t cope with the smell so put her bandana around her face as she went in.

Pre-Trial Talk

Everyone was delighted when Holly and Dec announced that all of the campmates would be heading to the Bushtucker Trial area.

James said, “We had our first full day together yesterday and what better way to start the second day by doing something together.”

Fleur taught Harry to stretch out his muscles because his muscles were sore.

As the Camp made their way to the Bushtucker Trial, Nick commented that it felt like a day trip.

“It’s like the weirdest family outing I’ve ever had. We’re like a rubbish army,” said Emily.

The Colosseum

The celebrities made their way in the pouring rain to a giant jungle colosseum where they were met by Holly and Dec.

“Welcome celebrities, please come in and find a podium with your name on it,” said Holly.

Dec explained, “From this point on you are no longer masters of your own destiny. You are now gladiators and your fate will be decided by a new camp leader. All hail The Emperor.”

The campmates squealed with delight as a fanfare sounded and out walked Noel Edmonds onto a balcony above them.

Emperor Noel exclaimed “Hail” and referring to the torrential rain added “And rain. And some sunny periods later!”

Dec told the campmates that they were going to be ruled over by the Emperor.

The Emperor would be exempt from all work. The celebrities, however, would now be gladiators and would have to perform all duties around camp and face trials and challenges to win food.

Emperor Noel was then told that he had the power to free one gladiator immediately who would be made his personal advisor.

“It should be someone who you believe will give you good council as they will be part of your inner circle. Only you and your inner circle will be allowed to eat any meals won here today,” explained Dec.

“Have you got any more? Is this the best you can do?” joked Emperor Noel before he picked Harry.

“Peasants behave yourselves. I can now control this mob. If you misbehave you’re now going to get bad jobs,” laughed Harry.

“He’s also Head of Human Resources and Public Relations,” retorted Emperor Noel.

The campmates and Emperor Noel were then told that the trial would be called Unleash The Beasts and that he had to choose four gladiators to take part.

He asked for volunteers but as celebrities started to raise their hands he joked, “well we won’t choose them then.”

He picked Fleur and Sair and then Nick and James.

Biteus Intensius

Fleur and Sair's trial was called 'Biteus Intensius'.

The pair had to stand side by side in a cage where they had three minutes to move a star down a thread to a red bolt using only their tongues. The cages would also contain green ants.

They stood next to each other and started to manoeuvre the stars to the bottom of the thread.

Fleur had an impressive technique and completed her task where as Sair was slightly slower.

However both campmates completed the Trial and won both stars.

Crittercus Maximus

Emperor Noel had chosen James and Nick for the second part of the trial.

The two of them had to lie in a cage with their heads touching in the middle.

They would have three minutes to undo the knots on their respective ropes to release a star.

As the trial’s name suggested, they wouldn’t be alone in the cage.

Nick and James got into the cage and lay on their backs with goggles covering their eyes.

Five rangers then appeared and poured 5kgs of mealworms, 5000 crickets, 5000 cockroaches, 20 scorpions and 20 large spiders onto them.

As the other campmates watched, Nick encouraged James as they both started untying the knots to release their stars.

“Thank god he’s got Nick in there,” said Emily as she watched the two manipulating the ropes.

They both released their star with seconds to spare.

Fleur and Sair and Nick and James won a total of four stars. Dec told them that it was the end of the Trial and that it was time to find out who had pleased the Emperor.

The four stars would mean meals for the Emperor and his Inner Circle to share. He now had to choose two of the gladiators to join him for dinner.

Emperor Noel said, “I thought it was wonderful, gritty and determined.”

"I’m hoping the ladies will join us for dinner.”

Dec asked Emperor Noel if he thought his inner circle was wise and learned.

“Leave it out. It’s going to be an interesting dinner chat. And I know having just arrived the rest of this, is all coming my way. I’m going to make the most of it because I know hell is about to unleashed on me!”

The Return To Camp

The campmates talked about the moment that Emperor Noel was revealed.

“It was the best moment ever,” said Emily.

“Will he be gracious or will he be a meglomaniac,” questioned Nick.

“I think he’ll be a bit of both. I think he’ll go in strong and assert his authority and hopefully he’ll ease off as time goes on,” replied James.

As the campmates walked back to the camp, Noel told them to pick up the pace as he led them.

Returning to the camp, they saw that it had been completely made over to become the Emperor’s camp.

There was a throne by the fire, a Roman Palace complete with two beds with duvets and towels and a podium.

Emperor Noel sat down on his throne, unfurled a scroll and asked if everyone was paying attention.

“Yes Emperor,” replied John.

“Oi, that was said with a bit of sarcasm, pack it in. I didn’t ask for this role,” laughed Emperor Noel.

“You’re enjoying it though,” replied John with a smile.

Emperor Noel said, “Welcome to the Emperor’s Camp. The Roman Palace is a private residence for the Emperor and his advisor."

"No one else is allowed to sleep in the palace. The Emperor’s throne is only to be used by the Emperor. When the bell tolls the Emperor and his advisor must enter the Palace to attend to Imperial business.”

"Are you hungry," asked Rita. He admitted he was. She advised him to “Get used to it.”

The Emperor Settles In

John asked Emperor Noel if Harry could sit in his throne for a while as he had a stiff back, Emperor Noel said yes.

Harry declined the offer and said he was fine on the bed but joked he’d like everyone to call him ‘Assistant Emperor’ rather than ‘Harry’.

Talking in the Bush Telegraph about his and Noel’s new roles he said, “When you’re a manager or coach you always have the tough guy and the nice guy. This is how we do it in football and I think we’re going to have to work that way here too.”

Emperor Noel and Harry were sat in camp on a bed, Emperor Noel looked around and said, “I so much want to change everything here, just get this sorted, I mean it’s a mess isn’t it?”

Sair asked what he’d like to change, Emperor Noel looked at her, smiled and said, “Re-organise the trees, they’re all in the wrong order.” Sair and Anne laughed.

Emperor Noel was talking in the Bush Telegraph, “I think Harry and I are going to have a lot of fun…”

Harry walked in and said, “Did you want me?” Emperor Noel said, “Could you knock next time, on the way in, not the way out.”

Chores

Emperor Noel and Advisor Harry decided to close the curtains to their Roman palace to discuss camp chores as they had to allocate roles.

Harry waved goodbye to the campmates and as he closed the curtains he said “Goodbye peasants.”

Rita looked up and told him not to forget where he came from. Harry replied, “I certainly know where I’m going to end up.”

Emperor Noel and Advisor Harry discussed who to allocate different camp roles.

Sair and Fleur were exempt as they are part of the inner circle. Emperor Noel and Advisor Harry chose Nick and Emily as the chefs, Rita and John to look after the wood and the fire and James, Anne and Malique were to look after camp maintenance.

John stood up to ask Emperor Noel a question, Emperor Noel asked John not to scratch his groin when he spoke to the Emperor.

John said he wasn’t scratching his groin and was not impressed with the comment.

Talking later in the Bush Telegraph, John said, “I know he was trying to make a joke and be funny but it didn’t land well with me and for that moment I’m probably being overly sensitive and it’s at this exact time that my husband would say I need a sandwich."

"It’s not his fault and I’m an adult, I know that, it was just that moment and some of us are feeling ‘arhhh’.”

Dingo Dollar Challenge

Emperor Noel, Advisor Harry, Rita and Malique walked to a smelly swamp with a raised seating area for Emperor Noel and Advisor Harry to sit in.

Emperor Noel read a Jungle scroll, “Gladiators, get ready to make me smile, search the roman bath and find me a tile. Under my command, place it in the frame, complete the mosaic and the dingo dollars you claim.”

Rita and Malique had to get into the swamp and find tiles to place in a frame which then had to be organised into a picture with visual guidance from Emperor Noel and Advisor Harry.

The swamp was cold and smelly much to Rita and Malique’s horror but they eventually managed to find all the tiles and complete the challenge.

Emperor Noel and Advisor Harry went off to meet Kiosk Kev at Outbackius Shackius.

Outbackius Shackius

Emperor Noel and Advisor Harry met Kiosk Kev at Outbackius Shackius and the question posed was ‘what percentage of working women earn more than their partner? a) 26% or b) 6%'.

Advisor Harry called camp and they all discussed it and opted for a) 26% which was the correct answer and meant they got to choose between ice cream or grapes/cheese and they chose grapes/cheese.

Emperor Noel and Advisor Harry decided to play a prank on camp and pretend they’d got the question wrong, hiding the grapes/cheese en route back into camp.

The camp were all gutted as they believed they’d given the right answer and were desperate for a treat.

Shortly afterwards Harry came back with the grapes/cheese and the camp erupted in cheers and everyone was happy.
