I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!- Martina Navratilova

If Martina Navratilova is wondering what’s hit her, she’s keeping it well hidden. The former tennis champion said before she entered the jungle: “I don’t know what to expect. I’ve never seen the show and I don’t know if that’s good or bad. If I had seen it, if I would go, ‘Yeah, yeah, I really want to do that’ or if I’m like, ‘No way’. So I’m sort of going in on trusting in my ability to adjust, as Billy Jean King says, ‘Champions adjust’. So we’ll see if I can adjust.”

She’s certainly adjusting well so far and doesn’t seem too fazed by anything – although she’s definitely having an easier time of it in the Camp Camp where there are ‘proper’ beds to sleep on and things are generally far better equipped.

Martina is clearly someone who doesn’t suffer fools gladly and declares: “I think people that get on my nerves are ignorant people you know. But I don’t think we’ll have that because we’ll all be celebrities of one sort or another. Ignorance is what I don’t deal with very well and bad manners.” Hmmm, now there’s nobody bad-mannered or ignorant in either camp this year, is there???
