A far better show today than the recent offerings. Another surreal moment happened today. Last night in the messageboard I said that I fancied Karen from Bananarama.

Posted: 08 Sep 2002 19:53 Post subject: you know Bananarama, not the bleached haired one or the Siobhan one or the ugly looking one who replaced Siobham, the other one with the black, think she married andrew ridgely, i liked her.

Today Dave said he fancied who else but Karen from Bananarama in the 80's. Chris preferred Debbie Gibson and Will preferred Carol Decker from T'Pau. Chris says he cant wait till he is 40 and hes walking down the aisle with a girl half the age. This got onto the question set to Will as to whether he would go out with Holly Valance even though shes only 19 and hes 33. Will said Yes, come on hes not that stupid. Chris then got out Heat magazine and went through the celebs and asked the team whether they are worth a dabble or not. Chris asked Lizzie who would she pick between Darren Day, Uri Gellar or Nigel Benn. After a lot of thinking she plumped for Nigel Benn but said he was the best out of a very bad bunch.
Lizzie was given some beauty products from a PR company and she asked the team to guess how much the two bottles she got retailed for. The total was £150. Chris asked what she was going to do with it and Lizzie said that she was taking them home. Will chipped in to say that members of BBC staff are only allowed to accept gifts totalling £25. Chris asked Will about the free Stella Artois he got and he shut up pretty quickly.
This Celeb Survivor talk didnt stop as Dave introduced Celeb Challenges as Dave had three pots of stuff that Chris had to eat. Each one he ate and guessed got him a cup of tea free. First pot was a marshmallow which Chris ate. Next up was some Twiglets which Chris munched on. Lastly was a Marmite Sandwich, which as you know Chris hates marmite and even the smell makes him want to spew. Chris thought it was unfair for him to taste everything so made challenges for the rest of the team. Lizzie had to find £2 coins in some unknown materials. The first pounds were placed in a pot of cooked Spaghetti. Lizzie failed to find any but she was more successful in the second pot which was 2 pounds hidden in a pot of Rice Pudding.
Will had to drink 2 liquids. Will incorrectly guessed the first one which was Ginger Beer. The second drink was Banana Milkshake, which Will hates and makes him get the runs. Last but not least Dave had to taste three unknown to him things and guess what they were. Dave correctly guessed Fruit & Nut without tasting it, Strawberry Yoghurt and lastly some Peanut Butter spread.

Chris - Im A Celebrity has all finished and you may have not been aware that during the entire two week run while all the rest were in the jungle, there was one famous celebrity who was on standby in the hotel next to the jungle waiting by the phone incase anybody got ill or left. This celebrity was standing by. Hes on the phone now. That celebrity is Mr Keith Chegwin.
Chegwin - I was there, ready packed and everything, ready to go into the jungle at a moments notice at the drop of a hat. I got to tell you Chris it was the best freebie of my blooming career. I cant tell you, I had nine days in Australia, flew business class, stayed in a 5 star hotel, they gave me a satellite phone, gave me a hire car and told me to go out and do what I liked.
Chris - So you were a part of Im A Celebrity Keep me in here then
Chegwin - It was tough for me though, you thought it was tough for them but I had to walk up two flights of stairs to go to the swimming pool. Not only that but it was a salt water pool and it was basking in 84 degrees and I got a tan. How ridiculous!
Chris - Its outrageous, I hope you got well paid
Chegwin - I got paid a fortune.
Chris - Well the first question is how does someone of your social standing and media presence end up on the reserves bench behind a bunch of no marks?
Chegwin - Well I think they had a panic attack at ITV because I was in Florida at the time on holiday and I got this phone call saying Oh my God were really worried, we've got 8 contestants. If one of them drops out, its gonna blow the whole voting system and as usual I said Ok Ill come over but whats in it for me and then they told me. I thought fantastic.
Chris - Hes no fool is Cheggars
Chegwin - To be honest, I would have loved it if someone had dropped out. I would have loved to gone in there just to see what it was like in the jungle.
Chris - I think you would have won though.
Chegwin - Do you think so?
Chris - Absolutely
Chegwin - I think me and Tony would have tied for first place.
Chris - Well I like Tony Blackburn but I love you more. As you know, Ive always had a soft spot for Cheggars.
Chegwin - Im embarrassed now
Chris - Well its true though. This conversation is very surreal, its like the second time we've done it (methinks this bit has been pre recorded and they had to do it over again)
Dave - If you had gone into the jungle, it wouldnt have been like the Naked Jungle would it?, Getting your knackers out again.
Chegwin - No I promise you I wont be taking off my clothes ever again. Thats the last time Ill do that. It was a bad career move that was.
Chris - Oh well I wouldnt worry about it, there was very little to see
Chegwin - I only had a small part in the show
Chris & Dave - Waheyyyyyy
Chegwin - All the old gags
Chris - I tell you, youre showing up Dave for old gags. So your in the middle of the jungle for weeks surrounded by some dangerous and slimy creatures. Would you say that Neil Hamilton was better or worse than expected then?
Chegwin - I tell you what. He was so funny because after Christine had been in the jungle for 4 days he came up to me and said Oh shes doing ever so well, isnt she Keith and I said well I have to admit, I wasnt being rude, but turned round and said to him because of her age she is coping really well. He goes I thinks shes doing fantastically, thats 4 days off the drink now. The first day I got there, I couldnt work out his outfit. I said to him Thats a nice top and he had a womans top on and a pair of ladies shorts.
Chris - Neil Hamilton?
Chegwin - Yeah and I turned round and said Neil Are They Yours and he said Oh no , their Christines, Im trying to find someone to do my washing. He thought Christines away, Ill wear hers.
Chris - Had you met him before?
Chegwin - I met him sort of, we've nodded at each other on social occasions but regardless of his past hes a fantastic guy. Hes such a laugh, a real character.
Chris - When you were sitting in the hotel, could you watch the show from where you were?
Chegwin - Yeah we were lucky enough to have a boffin, an engineer to wire up a satellite link up so we could actually watch the programming in the morning. People thought that the location of the jungle was only 10 minutes away from the nearest hotel but it was miles away. There were 3 shifts for different crews and they travel an hour and a half each morning to get there. What you had then was the celebs in there and a small production crew and then you had the main satellite link up going to back to the UK. They took the celebs out by helicopter so they wouldnt know that the satellite and film crew were just around the corner.
Chris - So it wasnt in Center Parcs then.
Chegwin - No, but when you get there the whole place looks like Center Parcs. I tell you now, ive never been so frightened in my life. I walked out in the car park at the hotel to go out for the day and I was attacked by a 5 foot Chicken. Its one of the rarest birds called the Cassowary.
Chris - Nah your mistaking it for Tara.
Chegwin - No this thing was 5 foot high and its the only bird known to kill man and I got it on video along with its baby with wild pigs, everything you could think of.
Chris - Hes like that Steve Irwin guy. You got a 5 foot chicken running at you so he gets his camcorder out. So did you vote on the mobile?
Chegwin - Oh yeah, I was voting, I have to admit I was voting for Tony. It was a tough choice between Tara and Tony.
Chris - Did you vote for Darren Day to get maggoted?
Chegwin - Oh yeah, I couldnt believe what a fool that man is. Did he ruin his career or what.
Chris - What Career?
Chegwin - I couldnt believe it, I think hes come out the worst.
Chris - Did you meet him afterwards?
Chegwin - No, Ive only ever met him once and he was such a lovely bloke but his image across the TV saying im a street boy whathaveyou, a man whose fathers a policeman and who lives in a 300,000 house, its not exactly streetwise, is it?
Chris - So if you had of made it into the A Team, in the jungle with everybody with those no marks and you and Tony, both legends, Do you think that Tara would have tried to cop off with you?
Chegwin - I think so, I think its because of the person that I am. I think I would have a lot of problems. I would have got more notes than Darren got anyway.
Chris - I bet you would. So whats next for you Cheggars?
Chegwin - Ahmm Not a lot
Chris - How about the next Celebrity Big Brother. Would you go as standby for that?
Chegwin - Ill stand by anything as long as the moneys right.
Chris - What are you really up to?
Chegwin - Im doing gigs thats about it really. I did Cheggars Bedroom on the web a little while ago so we are coming back with that.
Chris - Yeah tell me about that. Was that in your house or something?
Chegwin - Yeah I actually had a 5 camera live outside broadcast in my home and I set up my own television channel and just broadcast 10 hours a day. Ive got to have something to do at my age.
Chris - Did you make any money out of it?
Chegwin - It went incredibly well. We got 200,000 views per day (this page gets less than 200, sob), 7 days a week, it was voted Online Website of the Week, it got front page of the Independent so yeah were coming back, bigger brighter and better, 24 hours a day in about 2 months time.
Chris - I think you should be back on the television properly.
Chegwin - The only thing is that Telly is so down at the moment and I thought that Celeb Get Me Out Of Here was a fantastic idea, pushing back the boundaries of broadcasting. Its one of those programmes that people get on the bus to talk about and unfortunately we dont have that sort of stuff on TV or Radio anymore.
Chris - Well Radio I would disagree with.
Chegwin - Radio is the best medium in the whole wide world. You get in the car and you can have a laugh with Chris Moyles, you can turn over and listen to Steve Wright.
Chris - No no, you dont want to do that.
Chegwin - Noone wants to do that.
Chris - Youre great, I think you would have been great in the jungle.
Chegwin - I think that they missed a bit of a laugh.
Chris - You came on the show once* and we said What are you going to do after the show and you said Nothing. So we told you that we normally go to the pub round the corner and have some lunch and you said obviously I wont drink but Ill have lunch with you. So we go round to our normal pub round the corner: it was shut and Keith's walking ahead of me and hes trying another and hes rattling the door but its locked. He goes across to another one and its locked as well. We did 4 pubs until we found one that was open and I just thought if anyone from the press was watching, it looked like Keith desperate to get into the pub, rattling on the doors and shouting Are You In. So Keith, well done for not raising any money for charity.
Chegwin - Well I got more than a penny.
Chris - The Keith Chegwin charity which I think is a worthwhile cause. See you soon.
Chegwin - Anything you want me to do, ill be up for it.
Chris - Well ive got some washing needs doing, Keith Chegwin everybody
Chegwin - Bye Chris
