It sure is – the British public, those of them who had more than enough money to waste on phone-in votes and the minimum amount of brains to be able to dial the number – failed in their attempt to get rid of Katie Price from the show I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. Katie ‘walked’ of her own free will and good for her; after being a better sport than anyone would have imagined and completing six out of the seven bush tucker trials she decided enough was enough and it was time to give some of the other suckers a chance at all the free publicity Katie’s so-called ‘critics’ have willingly given her.

She showed viewers that she is still the up-for-it goer that she was when she appeared in the same show back in 2003. It’s an older and wiser Katie these days – she did not behave the way the nay-sayers all predicted and stayed away from any eligible males in the camp. Not that there were any – but the last time she dabbled with a male camp-mate she got saddled with a worm of a male who turned out to be a gold-digger and traitor. She’s well rid of Peter Andre that’s for sure.

She was good viewing while it lasted and offered a valuable opportunity to show my children how bullying can take different guises and how it can happen even to celebrities – but given British society these days such hatred and spite is not uncommon among members of the public.

I had to laugh when she and Kim Woodburn tried to eat the kangaroo testicles and fish eyes – their retching was hilarious even though it must have been awful for them, but when Katie had to eat the fried flies (as pictured above) I truly gagged and could not look. We Aussies have a full-on hate thing going with flies of any kind.
