This series of I'm A Celebrity... has already proved to be one of the most explosive yet - the opening episode alone included stomach-churning cocktails, cockroaches, skydiving, kangaroo anus, former boxing champ Barry McGuigan unable to complete a task and McFly's Danny Jones getting a "trouser snake". The pace, to be honest, hasn't let up since.
Someone who has clearly been following all the action down under is Rebekah Vardy.
In her daily newspaper diary about the show, Rebekah, 42, has been following the progress of the celebrities, including her reported archenemy, Coleen Rooney - and there seems to have been a thawing in her famously frosty opinion of her fellow WAG.
Initially rather caustic about Coleen's jungle experience, Rebekah seems to be rethinking her take on things.

But the feeling may not be mutual. When Coleen-who has proved extremely popular and is tipped by many to leave the reality show as Queen of the Jungle - returns home from Australia, her reported resolve to have nothing to do with Rebekah could be stronger than ever.
"In Coleen's mind, her war with Becky is over and all she wants is for Becky to pay her [legal] bill. Then she will never have to think about her again," a source claimed. "Coleen just wouldn't go back there with Rebekah as she believes the relationship would be toxic.
"But Becky can't let it go and Coleen will find Becky's constant mentioning of her hilarious, and somewhat tragic." Rebekah, who is married to Leicester City footballer Jamie Vardy, initially took aim at Coleen at the start of the series, when the 38-year-old got soaked in the river during the opening task. "Coleen sank in the river twice. It's the gift that keeps on giving," she wrote.
The mum-of-six reiterated her feelings on her social media accounts, too. As Coleen entered the camp, Rebekah posted a snap of herself relaxing in a pink bikini with her eyes closed, captioning it, "That feeling when you are living rent free in people's heads." She also accused Coleen - who is reportedly being paid a record £1.5m for her appearance - of "following in her footsteps" because she had "always wanted [Vardy's] life".
But more recently, having previously called Coleen "dull" and sharing her hopes that the campmate would be forced to "eat penis or humble pie", Rebekah appeared to compliment Coleen after she impressed during a Bushtucker Trial. Coleen was widely praised and called a "warrior" by viewers for keeping her cool during a grim Absolute Carnage trial with DJ Dean McCullough, in which she was covered in cockroaches and rats.
"It's blowing a gale at home but there's definitely a rumble in the jungle. Luckily it's not in the campmates' stomachs, as Teabag Dean had Coleen with him for Absolute Carnage and they managed to get nine stars," Rebekah wrote in The Sun. She added, "I'm applauding Coleen. She really held her nerve as the mealworms, cockroaches and rats crawled all over her." Rebekah's U-turn surprised many, but our source added, "It seems to have backfired on Becky, as many of the comments were telling her to grow up and get over it. Coleen is proving very popular with everyone and coming across better than many thought she would. It's no wonder Becky is trying to praise her now, after spending days slating her.
"Becky is also aware of all the backlash she's been getting for slating Coleen, so has decided on a change of tack. If Becky wants a long career, she knows she needs to be seen as more than the pantomime villain and a rent-a-gob. Her praising Coleen is an attempt to reach out to her and show everyone she is fair and can give praise when it's deserved.
