No season of I'm A Celeb will ever match Katie Price and Peter Andre falling in love
ITV ITV
I’M A CELEBRITY… Get Me Out of Here started up again last Sunday and, thanks to contestants like Gogglebox’s Scarlett Moffatt, it’s been very eventful so far.
But there’s one that will continue to be the hallmark against which all I’m A Celebrity seasons are judged: Season 3, in 2004.
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
It featured such luminaries as Jennie Bond, Alex Best, And Lord Charles Brocket – yeah, us neither – but the real stars were Kerry Katona, Katie Price, Peter Andre and John Lydon (AKA Johnny Rotten).
It was iconic television, and will never be matched. Here’s why.

As it turns out, Lydon didn’t much like being in the jungle. His outburst came when the public failed to vote him out, and walked out of his own accord shortly after.

We’ve become used to celebrities eating witchety grubs and cockroaches by now, but in 2004, this was scandalous.

Katie had a boyfriend outside the jungle, but that didn’t stop the play-fighting, the leading questions, the extremely thorough tick-checking… Get a room, you two.
