5 things we learnt from Day 3
It’s not every day that you learn John Barrowman travels the world with a cuddly toy cat or that Nick Knowles jammed with Biffy Clyro.
1) Anne snores
There were some unusual sounds at Snake Rock last night, but they didn’t come from the Jungle. They came from Anne.
After being woken by the rumblings, Fleur said in the Bush Telegraph, “I mean Anne. Jeez. She’s got some lungs on her. She snores like a trooper! It just keeps going, I’m like, where does she take a breath!?’
All is not lost though. In Fleur’s ever-positive outlook, she’s looking on the bright side and is considering using Anne’s rumbles as the bass for her next track.
2) Harry and John met their spouses in very memorable ways
Love isn’t always found in the most conventional of circumstances and Harry and John proved just that last night as they told the story of how they met their other halves.
Harry met his wife of 54-years Sandra at a dance above a pub called The Two Puddings, and John’s first date with his husband Scott involved the one and only Cher. You couldn’t make it up.
Later on in the Bush Telegraph, Harry said: “Well John was having dinner with Cher, yeah but I was meeting Sandra in the Two Puddings. I know who got the best of the deal.”
3) Nick jammed with Biffy
Nick Knowles really is a jack of all trades. Not only can he fix up your house, but he can also jam on a rooftop bar in Soho with ‘famous bands’.
After initially deciding to withhold the name of the band he played with, it didn’t take long for Nick to drop the news that the band was, in fact, Biffy Clyro.
“It’s probably best not to say who they are because it’ll be embarrassing for them more than anything else, but I ended up playing with this band… Actually, it’s alright. They won’t mind, they’re nice lads. So it was Biffy Clyro!”
To celebrate the story, Dec and Holly thought it only right to get #BiffyClyroNotEmbarrassedTheyJammedWithNickKnowles trending and Biffy themselves even popped a tweet out.
4) John has a teddy called Easter Cat
When the Snake Rock and Croc Creek finally joined last night, a few more of the Celebs were given their luxury items. Including John, who was reunited with The Easter Cat.
The black and white cat teddy has travelled around the world with him and will now be a new resident in the Jungle.
5) Nick Knowles is selfless
Snake Rock also won Nick his luxury item of a pillow, but seconds after receiving it he quickly gave it to Anne.
He said: “Listen, do you know why I chose the pillow? So I could give it to anyone who was struggling to sleep.”
This might be one of the sweetest Jungle moments ever.
