It’s unsurprising the actor has yet to direct another film after giving so much to this blistering debut, acted at full tilt by a remarkable cast

Twenty-five years ago, Gary Oldman opened an artery of anguish with his brilliant, wrenchingly emotional debut as writer-director inspired by his own father and his childhood in south London, positioned between Terence Davies and Martin Scorsese. The title conveys with horrible force both violence and the cost of violence. “Nil by mouth” is what you see over an intravenously fed patient’s hospital bed – and yet the phrase is also a metaphor for the dad’s dysfunction, the walled-off emotional aridity; nil by mouth, no kissing, no talking, nothing.

It is an urban pastoral and social-realist tragedy. Watched again now, you can appreciate how formally accomplished it is, how emotionally extravagant, and acted at full tilt by a remarkable cast. Ray Winstone is Ray,...

Gary Oldman is the overwhelming favorite to take home the Best Actor BAFTA Sunday for his portrayal of former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. It’d be his third BAFTA overall, but his first for acting; his first two wins came 20 years ago for writing and producing Best Original Screenplay and Best British Film winner “Nil by Mouth.”

Based on his childhood, “Nil by Mouth” was Oldman’s writing and directorial debut, following a dysfunctional working class family coping with addiction and violence. Ray Winstone and Kathy Burke received BAFTA nominations for their performances as the husband and wife Ray and Val, respectively. Oldman’s sister Laila Morse made her acting debut as Val’s mother Janet and won a British Independent Film Award for Most Promising Newcomer.

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star Amy Willerton has admitted that she had a "meltdown" after leaving the jungle.

Willerton - who finished in fifth place - told The Sun that she felt like a "scapegoat" in disagreements with campmates Lucy Pargeter and Laila Morse.

"Lucy and Laila were having a go at me from the start," she said. "They turned on me and ripped me to hell.

"At first it was just the eyes and the looks. I was thinking, 'There is something wrong here'. And then the more Becky [Adlington] sided with them, the more I felt frozen out."

Willerton continued: "it was a shock because I never expected that kind of bitchiness. It was worse than anything I ever experienced competing in Miss Universe.

"I felt like I was a scapegoat at times. At first they were having a go when they had no reason at all for doing it.

A two-week stint in the jungle has a variety of consequences on its celebrity campers. It sends certain stars loopy and turns others into crying divas - but it's had a mellowing effect on EastEnders actress Laila Morse, as she reveals in this interview with Digital Spy.

How does it feel to be out of the jungle, Laila?

If I'm being truthful, I really miss the jungle. I slept well in there and I enjoyed it, but it was hard. You're cut off from the outside world and you don't eat properly. I lost a stone in there, but I'm happy.

Were you worried about the jungle diet and the meagre rations before you went in?

I like my food, so I was certainly worried about the diet before I went in there. I'm a good eater and I get very angry when I get hungry. I have a terrible...

Vincent Simone and Matthew Wright have been voted out of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!

The pair become the third and fourth celebrities to leave the jungle this year, following the exits of Annabel Giles and Laila Morse.

Asked by Ant and Dec how it felt to be voted out, Simone said: "It feels good. I had my time, my experience and I'm happy. I was going to be happy either way. It's weird now that I've left them. "

Wright added: "It's great to go out with him (Simone). There's certain people in the camp you get very special to and this is one of them."

Meanwhile, the former Strictly star said that the experience was "better" than he had expected.

"I have to say when I joined the first day I had a little panic attack, but now after the last few days I can say I really loved it.

Helen Flanagan returned to the jungle and joined Joe Swash on the I'm a Celebrity ITV2 spin-off show last night (December 2).

The 23-year-old former Corrie star wore a revealing pink and black bikini as she watched Swash take part in a Bushtucker Trial similar to the one Laila Morse had completed earlier on the main show.

Morse had allowed a crocodile to lie on top of her for a whole minute during the 'Who Dares Win Stars' challenge, which saw the EastEnders star being dared to do challenges involving jungle critters chosen by the 'Wheel of Misfortune'.

She went on to secure 10 out of 11 stars.

Flanagan, who was a contestant on the reality TV show last year along with David Haye and eventual winner Charlie Brooks, told Swash as she arrived ahead of the trial: "Well, if I'm going to do a trial, I might as well do it in style.

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star Amy Willerton is being herself in the jungle, her father Bruce Willerton has said.

The show's first eliminee Annabel Giles recently denied suggestions that she "picked on" Amy during her time on the show, but Bruce has now explained that they cleared the air when she was voted out.

"When [Annabel] came out I gave her a hug and I sort of said, 'I'd like to have a talk in the bar', as you do," Bruce said on Lorraine.

"I kind of wanted to talk to her about a couple of things, the perception, and it was really good to do that because I got her perception on the event. And I say the word 'perception' because you get perceptions in the camp and they see things differently in there."

However, Bruce joked that he understood the allegations that Amy is not pulling her weight in camp,...

Laila Morse has become the second contestant to be booted off 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!'. The 'EastEnders' actress was voted off the Australian jungle-based show last night (02.12.13) after landing in the bottom two with 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' star Alfonso Ribeiro, and in an emotional exit interview she admitted the experience has calmed her ''fiery'' temper. While fighting to hold back the tears, the 68-year-old star told hosts Ant and Dec: ''I'm disappointed really, but I could do with a nice hot bath. ''I've enjoyed it, but it's something that no-one can explain really.

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! stars Amy Willerton and Lucy Pargeter have cleared the air over their recent contraband disagreement.

Willerton handed in some banned concealer earlier this week but was disappointed to learn that the other contestants had been discussing it while she was out of camp.

She later turned to Rebecca Adlington to express her sadness, though the Olympic swimmer promised: "They are not saying nasty things apart from the fact they are disappointed in you for not handing it in."

"Well, the guys have said they are," Willerton replied. "The other women snap at me constantly, and you might not have noticed it, but they whisper so much and are making me paranoid, I just think I haven't done anything."

She continued: "I don't feel I can talk to them because they are not upfront with me. It's only me they have an issue...

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star Laila Morse joked that she wanted to repeat her Bushtucker Trial after winning ten out of eleven stars.

The EastEnders star took part in the 'Who Dares Wins... Stars' challenge, which saw her being dared to do something involving a critter chosen by the 'Wheel of Misfortune'.

Morse had no problem with the first dare - which saw soldier crabs crawling over her face for a minute, saying: "It's quite a nice feeling, as it happens."

She also survived the second dare, in which she was asked to put on see-through trousers and hold a snake in them for 30 seconds.

However, she won just one of the two stars available in the third challenge, 'Ant Eater', in which she had to unscrew two boxes filled with green ants using only her tongue.

Morse was back on track with dare four,...

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! stars won a chance to spend the night in the Jungle Arms recently.

The celebrities were split into teams and took part in a quiz called 'If You Don't Know Me By Now' to win the chance to visit the camp pub, while Laila Morse chose a gold ball from a tombola drum to become the quiz master - who automatically won a ticket.

The blue team consisted of David Emanuel, Joey Essex, Rebecca Adlington, Steve Davis and Vincent Simone, while their rivals, the red team, were Kian Egan, Alfonso Ribeiro, Amy Willerton, Lucy Pargeter and Matthew Wright.

Among the questions were what style of dance Simone is famous for, which year Princess Diana wore the dress Emanuel designed, and which soap Egan's wife was in.

The blue team ended up winning, meaning that they were able to visit the Jungle Arms with Morse.

Laila Morse has become the second contestant to be voted out of this year's I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!

The EastEnders actress lost out in the second public vote of the series, and follows Annabel Giles out of the jungle following her eviction yesterday (December 1).

On hearing that she would be leaving camp, Morse said: "Well at least I've done my trial."

Emmerdale star Lucy Pargeter appeared to be upset with the public's decision, saying that she didn't want Morse to leave.

Asked by Ant and Dec how she felt about her exit, the actress said: "Disappointed really, but I could do with a nice hot bath."

She became emotional when the Geordie stars asked her how she had found her jungle experience.

"I don't know really. I've enjoyed it and it's something that no-one can explain really," she said. "I think it's made me a better person.

Steve Davis surprised fellow camp-mates by donning just a palm tree leaf to protect his modesty during a fashion show on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! last night.

The world champion snooker player fashioned the leaf into a loin cloth - similar to Sinitta's infamous X Factor palm leaf bikini - as he took part in the Modesty Smock fashion show in the jungle yesterday (December 1).

He whipped off his white T-shirt to reveal his makeshift attire as he strutted down an imaginary catwalk, with David Emanuel, Laila Morse and Lucy Pargeter sitting on the front row and almost crying with laughter.

Speaking about his risqué outfit, he joked: "From my back-to-basics range - the Adam and Eve collection."

Meanwhile, Matthew Wright was back in his skimpy white bikini as he also took part in the parade - thought up by royal fashion designer Emanuel - along with Amy Willerton,...

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star Laila Morse faces soldier crabs in the latest Bushtucker Trial.

Morse will be seen taking on the 'Who Dares Wins Stars' challenge in tonight's show but ITV has released a sneak peek of the Trial.

Watch Laila Morse taking on the Bushtucker Trial below:

The task involves Ant & Dec daring Morse to complete various critter-based challenges, with the animals chosen by the Wheel of Misfortune.

In the first part of the Trial, Morse is dared to lie down and have soldier crabs crawl over her face for one minute.

However, Morse took the task in her stride, joking: "There ain't going to be a big chopper [come down] and chop my head off, is there?"

"No," Dec replies. "But that is a good idea - we'll write that down for next year."

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! continues tonight at 8.30pm on ITV.

I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! star Annabel Giles has claimed that Amy Willerton is "playing a game".

The former model was left unhappy when Joey Essex explained the reason why he and his fellow Camp Saviours didn't choose to give her immunity.

Essex told her that Willerton had suggested that she didn't want to stay in the camp and would enjoy a holiday with her daughter.

Giles replied: "I never said that, I wanted to be saved. I've only been here a week haven't I? I didn't say that."

In the Bush Telegraph, she added: "I don't know why she would wish me ill except that perhaps I'm onto her and she knows it. She is playing a game unlike anyone else is. She is very much here to win and she will win and nothing will get in the way of Amy winning."

The 54-year-old admitted...

I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! stars Vincent Simone, David Emanuel and Rebecca Adlington have won immunity from the first eviction.

They join Laila Morse, who won immunity yesterday (November 29) when 'camp saviours' Kian Egan and Joey Essex decided to save her.

Amy Willerton joined the boys as another camp saviour after being voted in by the public.

The trio decided who to save after completing a task called 'Gold Mine'.

Each saviour had to fill a coloured cart with 100 gold nuggets that were moving past on a circular train track.

They had two hours to complete the trial and were joined by a number of rats and insects.

Joey managed to fill his cart first, which impressed his team. He said: "I used to play this in the pub when I was a kid, around Chigwell. It was called Chicken Nuggets."

The three saviours then had to...

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star Laila Morse has won immunity from the first public vote-off.

Kian Egan and Joey Essex - who were voted the 'camp saviours' by the public this week - chose to save Morse after winning an immunity token in a memory challenge.

Two tokens were up for grab in the challenge, in which they had to remember various items which were driven past them.

The duo were told that they had to remember 20 out of 25 items to win a token and a meal for themselves, though the task was made more difficult when they were joined by critters such as cockroaches, crickets, mealworms and flies.

Essex was concerned before the challenge, worrying: "My memory's Joey Essex, not Albert Einstein. I want one token so bad because I want to be able to save as many people as possible."

The task was also...

If there's one thing guaranteed to happen in the jungle, it's the free-flowing of tears from frustrated celebrities on I'm a Celebrity.

Last night's show saw Amy Willerton welling up after a row with campmates over her apparent excessive snoozing.

Lucy Pargeter and Steve Davis observed how much she slept in the camp, with Davis reminding the model: "Do you remember those words you said on day one? You said to me you only need three hours' sleep a night."

Cue Willerton breaking down in the Bush Telegraph and blubbing: "I was lying in my hammock and was just thinking of everything, I am really sensitive but this was the first time I've felt really upset by the way someone's been towards me in camp, it all turned into a whirlwind of emotion and I felt really upset with myself because if I have upset someone in camp I really didn't mean to.

Kian Egan broke down and wept after a surprise reunion with wife Jodi Albert on I'm a Celebrity last night (November 27).

The former Westlife singer and fellow campmates Steve Davis and Laila Morse were treated to a night of luxury after winning the Halfway Holiday task against David Emmanuel, Rebecca Adlington and Matthew Wright.

The victorious stars were whisked away to an extravagant villa, with Morse remarking as they arrived: "I've got tears in my eyes, it's breathtaking. It just upsets me, in a good way. An overwhelming way."

They were then treated to a shock reunion with their loved ones who emerged from the retreat, with an emotional Egan telling Albert: "Oh my God, I don't believe it. I can't believe it, I love you so much."

He began to sob as he hugged and kissed the ex-Hollyoaks actress, while Davis also started to tear up when he...

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! stars Steve Davis, Kian Egan and Laila Morse got to spend a night in luxury after winning a head-to-head challenge.

The team went up against David Emmanuel, Rebecca Adlington and Matthew Wright to win the Halfway Holiday task.

Both teams had to sit in a booth and answer questions correctly. A right answer won them a boarding pass while a wrong answer resulted in them being gunged.

As they were the first team to win three boarding passes, Laila, Kian and Steve were flown to a luxury villa.

As they approached the villa, Laila remarked: "I've got tears in my eyes, it's breathtaking. It just upsets me, in a good way. An overwhelming way."

Meanwhile, the losing teams including Annabel Giles, Amy Willerton, Joey Essex, Alfonso Ribeiro, Lucy Pargeter and Vincent Simone were forced to spend 90 minutes on the Roach Trip coach.

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! stars Laila Morse, Kian Egan and Steve Davis got a special surprise when they were reunited with their loved ones.

The stars won the Halfway Holiday task meaning they were whisked away for a night of luxury in a villa.

They then had a further surprise when their loved ones walked in as they were discussing lunch.

Kian broke down in tears when he saw his wife Jodi.

He said: "Oh my god, I don't believe it. I can't believe it, I love you so much."

Steve also got choked up when reunited with his wife Jeannie.

Laila was also delighted to see her sister and asked her: "Have I lost weight?"

Kian's wife, former Hollyoaks star Jodi Albert, then gave him a message to pass on to fellow campmate Alfonso.

She said: "Alfonso's wife really wants you to give him a message.

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star Vincent Simone has been banned from weeing in camp.

Simone's fellow contestants took a hard line with the Strictly Come Dancing pro after he revealed earlier this week that he had a midnight tinkle nearby to avoid going all the way to the dunny.

"You can't wee in camp," Lucy Pargeter said. "I don't care. Vincent, no weeing in camp. Because it brings the rats and things. They want to scent over the scent."

She later added: "No, no, no, you can't wee in camp. Would you wee in your house apart from in your toilet?"

Simone - who admitted that he was scared about going to the dunny in the dark - said: "Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to do pee pees on the trees anymore. The scent of my smell is unbelievable. The mouses love it."

Simone described the idea...

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star Vincent Simone has admitted that he's struggling to get used to going to the toilet in the jungle.

Speaking to David Emanuel recently, the Strictly Come Dancing pro explained that he had to get up and "do a pee pee" in the middle of the night.

"I couldn't see anything, so I had to go over there," he revealed. "It's terrible. I wish my penis was longer so I don't have to get up and walk - I could just go from here."

Simone also seemed envious of one of his campmates, saying: "Alfonso doesn't have that problem. For him it's like fishing."

However, Simone wasn't the only one struggling with calls of nature in the jungle, as Laila Morse bemoaned the lack of privacy in camp.

Speaking from the dunny as Amy Willerton and Joey Essex lingered outside, she complained:...

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! contestant Amy Willerton ended up in tears after a recent challenge.

As part of the 'Halfway Holiday' competition, Willerton and David Emanuel's teams battled it out in 'Grot Tubs', in which they had to find letters in tubs full of disgusting liquids.

Willerton offered to find the letters hidden in the third tub - which was filled with meat and offal - but when her team-mate Joey Essex was unable to complete the task in his fish-based basin, Emanuel's team took the lead and won the challenge.

Their victory meant that the contest was over before Willerton could even take part.

Later, Willerton got upset and went for a cry by the dunny, where she was comforted by Emanuel and Essex.

"I'm so gutted," she said. "I can't even hide it. I wanted it so bad, I'm disappointed. I do feel...

I'm a Celebrity… Get Met Out of Here! contestants have completed the first part of the Halfway Holiday/Roach Trip challenge.

The campmates were divided into groups of three for a series of competitions, with the winning team being granted 24 hours of luxury in what was described as a "holiday they would never forget".

The losers of the challenge would be forced to spend the evening in a disused coach, which was filled with a collection of jungle creatures.

Vincent Simone was ultimately paired with Lucy Pargeter and Alfonso Ribeiro, while Steve Davis teamed up with Kian Egan and Laila Morse.

Amy Willerton was grouped with Joey Essex and Annabel Giles, and finally David Emanuel, Rebecca Adlington and Matthew Wright joined forces.

Egan vowed ahead of the first challenge that his team would triumph in honour of Morse, saying: "I'm going to kick everyone's arse because I'm going to make...

I'm a Celebrity star Vincent Simone has divided the camp by showering in a pair of tight white swimming trunks.

While the women were amused by his attire, the men were less impressed.

Amy Willerton said: "Vincent wears a tiny pair of tighty whiteys. He's doing the full Italian stallion in all its glory."

"I want to do it again," declared Vincent.

"You're very welcome to do it again," responded Amy.

Alfonso Ribeiro and David Emanuel sniggered about the dancer's antics, with David commenting: "He paraded up and down here. He wanted to show off his pert butt. He paraded like a peacock... It's a floor show."

"Put on some damn shorts. I'm sick of looking at your ass," Alfonso laughed. He later admitted that he had been less than happy with the scene, saying in the Bush Telegraph: "It was uncomfortable. Certainly not the place."

"Al was a bit...

I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! campmates Joey Essex and Amy Willerton have grown closer after spending the night together in a treehouse.

The young pair - who have already been seen getting cosy in the jungle's camp - were nominated by their fellow contestants to be the couple to share the luxury sleeping quarters.

After the campmates were told that they had to decide among themselves who would sleep in the treehouse beds, conversation immediately turned to Joey and Amy.

"You two. You'll gallop up there," said EastEnders' Laila Morse. "I thought, well I ain't sleeping up there so I ain't bothered."

Joey expressed his delight at the accommodation, which had three beds. "I'm in my element," he said. "This is like a dream. It's a real treehouse in a real jungle. It's like my ultimate dream. It's like Christmas."

Matthew Wright commented: "Two young good-looking people trapped in a jungle,...

The Joey Essex show came to an end on Thursday night's (November 22) episode of I'm a Celebrity. Not only has he been replaced on the latest Bushtucker Trial by a camper who appears to have forgotten to pack any T-shirts - Amy Willerton - he also took a back seat to the drama, tears and tiffs between the female celebrities.

Joey's dip in a submarine with some baby crocs looked like a walk in the park compared to the snapping and sniping that Willerton was given by Lucy Pargeter, who seemed to hold the young pageant queen responsible for the entire history of female objectification.

We're not questioning the hurt and pain that Emmerdale star Pargeter and Rebecca Adlington have felt down the years because of ridiculous pressure placed upon them by society to look a certain way - or from ignorant and tiresome trolls on Twitter - but the...

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star Rebecca Adlington has hit out at her campmate Amy Willerton.

The Olympic swimmer got upset after a debate about beauty pageants, in which Willerton defended her decision to take part.

"I'm completely natural," she said. "I don't have hair extensions. There's nothing about me that's artificial apart from my gel polish."

Adlington explained that focus on beauty makes her feel "very, very insecure", saying: "For me, I was an athlete, I wasn't trying to be a model, but pretty much every single week on Twitter I get somebody commenting on the way I look."

Willerton suggested that she is also the subject of "nasty" comments, saying: "[Say that it's easy to be me] to the 15-year-old me covered in acne and braces and glasses. I've been there, I know what it's like not to feel beautiful."

However, Adlington was upset after the debate and ended up being comforted by Laila Morse,...

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star Joey Essex has revealed that he doesn't know how to blow his nose.

The reality star shocked his Snake Rock campmates when he admitted that he "never learnt how to do it".

Essex said: "I can't blow my nose."

EastEnders star Laila Morse replied: "Can't you? Why?"

"I've never learnt how to do it," the 24-year-old admitted. Morse added: "Well you just blow. Hold your mouth and blow."

Essex told the Bush Telegraph: "Things that you don't really need to know, I don't really know.

"I learnt to do my laces because obviously I needed to tie my laces for the rest of my life, but blowing your nose, you don't need to do it the professional way, say, you can just do it the Joey way."

"You couldn't write a book about him, could you?" Morse laughed.

The Towie star...

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! has never been healthier. The show bounced back on to screens last weekend like it was brand new, picking up a record-breaking 13m viewers for the opening of its 13th season. Apparently 13 is not such an unlucky number after all.

Ant & Dec are still on top form, and the line-up seems pretty good too. Already, Joey Essex is worming his way into people's hearts with his utter lack of common sense, and Laila Morse is proving that Big Mo is, well, a bit of a big mouth.

So far so good, right? The only thing is, there's just one niggle. One little thing that hasn't been fixed. Something that has been annoying fans for a while. Quite simply - it is that the same people do the Bushtucker Trials over and over again.

Technically, the viewers only really have themselves to blame...

Rebecca Adlington ''can't take'' any more sexual tension between Joey Essex and Amy Willerton on 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!'. The former Olympian jokes on tonight's (20.11.13) episode that watching the pair flirt while she is in the company of their other Snake Rock campmates, snooker legend Steve Davis, 56, and 'EastEnders' actress Laila Morse, 68, is like watching ''porn with my parents''. She says: ''I can't take the sexual tension anymore. ''It's so awkward for me and Steve just sat here watching you two. I feel like I'm watching porn with my parents.'' The 24-year-old swimmer's quip...

Day 2 of I'm a Celebrity and Matthew Wright is already munching on a camel toe. Don't worry, you haven't stumbled upon an X-rated version of the Ant & Dec reality show. This is just the customary animal-eating Bushtucker Trial.

And what a smorgasbord of tasty treats the hosting Geordie duo lined up for this year's unlucky celebrity duo, Wright and Joey Essex. Joining the camel toe on the menu were ostrich willy, pig brain, a scorpion, a turkey testicle and a pint of cock (roach) cola. Eat your heart out, Nigella.

It was a bit less 'lick your lips with anticipation', and more 'wipe your mouth and clean off the mixture of vomit and the inside of a turkey's ball'.

MasterChef and The Great British Bake Off this was not. Although, Joey and Matthew did try their best to pitch for careers as restaurant critics.

"It tastes like a school rubber with wee over it,...

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! stars Joey Essex and Amy Willerton have been getting closer during their stay in the jungle.

Willerton captured Essex's attention while sunbathing in her black bra, prompting him to later speak about her in the Bush Telegraph.

"Amy - she's fit in that way, running and stuff, and obviously she is fit," he said.

The duo also spent some quality time together as Willerton sniffed Essex's neck and complimented him on how fragrant he smelled.

"I've washed myself over, that's it," Essex explained, as Willerton replied: "It smells really nice, the aftershave."

Essex was not the only person to admire Willerton, as Rebecca Adlington admitted that she was envious of the model's body.

"I've never looked like that," she admitted, while Laila Morse added: "I looked like [Amy] when I was young. That's the thing. I was always slim."

However, Willerton - who...

The I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! stars won some tasty treats after taking part in a quiz.

The two teams were invited to take part in the chance to win a chocolate brownie for each celebrity after answering questions about the rival camp.

Some of the revelations from the quiz included that Kian Egan used to be a kissogram, that Joey Essex reached number 33 with his take on 'Last Christmas', and that Egan has more followers on Twitter than Alfonso Ribeiro.

Elsewhere, it emerged that Rebecca Adlington has two tattoos, but has won fewer Olympic medals than Steve Davis has won world snooker championships.

In the end, Snake Rock - Essex, Amy Willerton, Laila Morse, Davis and Adlington - got three questions correct and won three brownies.

However, they were bested by Croc Creek, as Lucy Pargeter, Ribeiro, Egan, Matthew Wright and David Emanuel answered...

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! returned for its 13th series last night (November 17) and, aside from Matthew Wright's wibbling and a memorable cameo from Rebecca Adlington's tampon, it was sweet-but-dim Joey Essex that got everyone talking.

The intellectually-challenged Towie star didn't disappoint when it came to one-liners and baffling behaviour, making our jaws drop from the second he appeared in possibly the shortest shorts known to man. Here are 13 of the most ridiculous Joey Essex moments from the I'm a Celebrity launch...

1. Making up the word 'confrontate'

"I'm not a confrontational person. I'll only ever confrontate someone if it's for a purpose... I wouldn't confrontate someone for no reason."

2. "Are these manbags?"

No, Joey, they're water canisters. They're not a fashion accessory. You need them to live.

3. "We're definitely going somewhere"

Said aboard a boat... as it's moving.

4. Making this face when jumping out of a plane

Fine,...

Where would we be without I'm a Celebrity?

Where would Iceland pimp out their latest festive frozen monstrosities? Where would Ant & Dec go to top up their tan and get a cheeky round of golf in every November? And how would Joey Essex learn how to tell the time? This isn't just a chance to laugh at celebrities with scorpions down their pants, this a god damn public service people.

This year's selection of Never-Have-Beens hoping to get an extra couple of zeroes on their panto cheques include '80s snoozy snooker player Steve Davis, Towie's Joey Essex, a man so dumb he makes Rylan look like a University Challenge winner, and a clan of vaguely recognisable soap stars.

"I'm best known as Big Mo from EastEnders," said actress Laila Morse. That's not true Laila. You're only known as Big Mo from EastEnders.

Still, at least it's better than fashion designer David Emanuel.

I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! was back with a bang last night (November 17) - we've already had tears, trials and, er, tampons. Obviously, it's far too early to judge our new batch of famous faces... but as if that's going to stop us! So join us as we share our snap judgements of the ten jungle rookies and let us know what you think below...

Rebecca Adlington

Rebecca gets instant points for shamelessly fangirling over Kian Egan. Now, sure, this probably made Kian hideously uncomfortable, but her little disappointed noise when she found out they definitely wouldn't be on the same team was amazing.

Even when he beat her at the Bushtucker Trial, she hugged him and called him a legend and thanked him for doing it quickly. If Rebecca has that little composure around a member of Westlife, just imagine what it's going to be like...
