If you picked up a paper one morning and read Timmy Mallet had got done for noncing, you would not exactly spit your tea out in shock.

The fact that he looks like Jonathan Kings retarded little brother probably has something to do with it. I can see it all now.

Indeed not.
I'm actually struggling to think of a more lame set of "celebrities" for this competition. I mean, how many of them really are "celebrities"? I'd say Navratilova qualifies for sure, and at a push, Joe Swash is fairly recent and Rantzhen is still probably a house hold name.
But SULU? He was in a TV show nearly FIFTY years ago FFS! And what about those waggy plastic titted things. I still don't even know their names! And as for that weird 50 something out of Dollar, well words fail me.
Like Big Brother, surely the sell by date of this show is fast approaching unless they can actually find some CELEBRITIES.

I disagree. I think its going from strength to strength.
GENUINE celebrities simply don't need to humiliate themselves on this show, which is why you will never get any a-list celebs doing it. This is for the wash-ups, the has-beens and the never-weres. They're there for the paycheque, and thats that. The beauty of it is their desperation. I AM mystified as to why Navratilova is in there, as she really is a genuine legend and can't be needing the money - perhaps she just fancied the challenge. Or maybe its Lee Dixon in a wig, I dunno.
But where else can you see Timmy Mallett and a former police chief drinking cocktails from a glass with a crocodiles knob on it. ? TREMENDOUS light entertainment, and infinitely more fun to watch than the stupendous borefest that is BB.

I think Paddick is the best thing that has happened to this programme. Perhaps it will give the thick British electorate (or at least London electorate), and those of us tax and rate payers who have to witness the farcical goings on within police services like the Met, a better idea of what an absolute bunch of pricks populate these organisations or run for Mayor, admittedly embarrassingly poorly.

Wouldn't it be great if we could pick the 'celebrities', I can think of a few people I'd like to see in there.

Easy, you missed out the category of "Celebs who've never seen the show but their agent told them it would be a good idea".
Usually from the USA, Navratilova is in a merry band that contains, David Guest, Janice Dickinson, Brigitte Nielsen, Dennis Rodman, Jacqui Stallone, Dirk Benedict, Flavor Flav.
Seeing as the success rate of these ignorant Yanks is high I think this is a rich vein that needs to be mined. I'd love to see the likes of Gary Coleman from Diff'rent Strokes, ClifF from Cheers, Screech from Saved By The Bell, Shannen Doherty from 90210, Ray Krebbs or Cliff Barnes from Dallas...

I'd heard Navratilova was lured to the show with the promise she could take part in some Bushtucker.

I'm sure if nominated she'll make a decent fist of it...

Timmy is without doubt a pure professional, he entertains, he makes everyone laugh, so versatile, just an incredible celeb.................... I think the problem is some just don't see how good he is.

Funny how so many posters on here are having a great big anti 'I'm a Celebrity' rant but also seem to know so much about the programme! Personally, I think it's an ok bit of television and have enjoyed watching DVD wind the others up. Who cares what level of celeb is on, it's not exactly that important.

In actual fact, people who think that are completely missing the point about the programme and completely missing out of the enjoyment of it.
Far from becoming a tired formula the programme actually gets better when the more "one hit" variety of performer is stupid enough to enter.
If anything it questions the whole notion of celebrity since however odious the like of Mallet and Van Day they have achieved more in their respective careers than most of the non entities around today that are labelled celebs.
Brilliant programme, D list showbiz Russian Roulette. It's genuis.

I'm not going out of my way to watch it because there are too many WAG-types. They add nothing to the show.
Just to clarify my comment, I watch and enjoy the show and have done for probably every series. My comment about importance was particular to the level of celeb, not the show itself. To be honest, it is the only reality show that we watch. Can't stand ballroom dancing and have never understood the phenoma of BB which is for talentless idiots to make fools of themselves, earn some quick dough and then, hopefully, disappear back into the ether. The only one who seems to have done well is Kate Lawler although I couldn't name anyone else that has been in there apart from Jade Goody. She has only been famous for her ignorance.
