The new series of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here premiered last night, and so did its offshoot series I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here NOW!
The show is hosted by former jungle inhabitant Joel Creasey, 25, and former The Bachelor contestant Heather Maltman, 29, and it’d be generous to describe the reaction to their presenting efforts as mixed.
Maltman acknowledged that the feedback hasn’t been all positive, referring to her detractors as “poo heads”.
Like other reality programs of its ilk, such as Big Brother‘s various “companion” shows, I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here NOW! aims to milk interest in the show for all it’s worth.
“Our show will be even more interactive,” Creasey told the Courier Mail before the show’s debut.
“If you’re a fan, Heather and I can respond to you by social media, on the screen, by phoning in. You’ll be able to speak to us and give your opinion. There’s nothing else on TV like it.”
And, well, there may never again be, if the poo heads get their way.

They don't seem to like each other. I was prepared to snuggle in to bed and watch the whole thing, but turned off after about three minutes. It wasn't comfortable viewing.
Joel would be better hosting by himself. Heather detracts from it in a big way. Then again, you can't beat the undeniable chemistry between Dr. Chris and the infamous and hilarious Julia Morris. If I am honest, I watch just for the banter between these two.
I so agree with you - they are the only reason I watch!
They are so great together....they make the show.
