The African jungle has a knack for making humans who don’t know each other engage in deep and meaningful conversations.
Just you, a bunch of other ‘celebrities’, and millions of Australians watching from the comfort of their living rooms.
Last night’s episode of I’m A Celebrity was no different – we heard from Bernard Tomic, the young, promising Australian tennis player with an attitude problem. And a foot in mouth problem.
Yes, the 25-year-old admits he does enjoy thinking about/making/counting his millions. But at what cost?
Speaking to his fellow I’m A Celebrity contestants on Monday night’s episode, we got a glimpse of the kind of life Tomic’s been leading since before he finished primary school. One of wealth and success, but also sacrifices.

I kind of hope he doesn't leave just yet. I think being away from everything, with people who are able to talk honestly to him with no agenda or vested interest might do him the world of good. He seems very lost and conflicted right now, a 'time out' like this might be just what he needs.
He's not the first one to say "I'm a Celeb" etc to pull out of a challenge. Lots of them have done that, particularly on the height challenges. And, honestly, I can't blame him. Those goggles would have seriously disorientated him and he looked awful.
It's already humanised him a bit, but at the same time the excuses he uses are a bit rubbish. He probably does need to spend time with someone like Josh Gibson instead of the leeches in his life. Hopefully he sticks around and gets new enthusiasm for tennis.
