Hugs all round as Huggy goes
Seventies TV star Antonio Fargas, aka Huggy Bear, last night became the fourth person to be evicted from the jungle in ITV's I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here.
The Starsky and Hutch star hugged and kissed the remaining five celebrities when hosts Ant and Dec announced he got the least votes from the public.
He told them: "Be unpredictable, have fun" as he prepared to follow in the footsteps of Three Degrees singer Sheila Ferguson, comic Vic Reeves and Nancy Sorrell out of the Australian jungle.
Earlier in the show, Fran Cosgrave swam through a croc-infested lagoon for the latest Bushtucker Trial.
I'm A Celebrity bosses revived the Slither River challenge which Natalie Appleton attempted earlier in the week.
But this time they added a few crocodiles to make the trial even harder.
Nightclub boss Fran had to swim underwater to release six buoys tethered around coils on the riverbed.
Perspex boxes filled with snakes were released into the water.
"I like snakes," Fran said, but Dec warned him: "There's a few other bits and bobs in there as well."
As he swam for the buoys, three crocodiles entered the lagoon but Fran remained unfazed. After collecting three stars, Fran gave up, claiming he had hit his head on one of the buoys.
"I'm a bit disappointed actually," he admitted.
Meanwhile Paul Burrell was made camp leader - and his first instruction was for the group to have "a big cuddle".
The former butler decided that the celebrities needed to get more touchy-feely.
"We are a family today," he announced.
Janet Street-Porter said: "Oh God, it's going to be like Thought for the Day all bloody day."
"No, it's not," Paul insisted. "Just think of a nice topic of conversation so that when we get together around the camp fire, we can all join in."
Janet shot back: "Funnily enough, Paul, we manage that every night."
She added: "Don't patronise me, it really winds me up."
The bickering pair then had a row about cooking.
When Janet tasted the food she was dishing up for dinner, Paul was horrified.
"Nearly as bad as Nigella Lawson," he sniffed. "She licks the spoon and everything and puts it back in the pot. You don't see Jamie Oliver doing that."
Janet then revealed she was a good friend of Nigella and said of Jamie: "I can't stand him."
Paul tried to help hand out the food to the rest of the group and Janet blasted: "F off and stop interfering. For God's sake, I'm the cook."
He shouted back: "You're far too opinionated at times. You're having a go at me. You're always having a go at me."
They made up with a hug but Paul later told Huggy: "The chef at Buckingham Palace was much nicer than that, thank God. They don't have anyone like that."
