I'm a Celebrity 2019 – as it happened: Caitlyn Jenner considers quitting show while Jane McDonald 'enters' camp

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! continued with a fresh batch of contestants, including Girls Aloud singer Nadine Coyle and retired footballer Ian Wright.  

Tonight's episode saw American TV personality Caitlyn Jenner and Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway take on the first insect-filled Bushtucker Trial of this year's series.

Confined in a box with nothing but 50,000 insects and 25 rats for company, the pair ended up winning two meals each for their respective camps – good news considering Wright is already getting irate because of the hunger. 

Another task later on in the episode saw the main camp – comprised of Coyle, Garraway, singer Myles Stephenson and DJs Adele Roberts and Roman Kemp – attempt to win their luxury items of choice.

A hairbrush, disposable camera and mug fit with a picture of Kemp's girlfriend and dog were among the items that the group lost out on winning, but offering them consolation were the two items they did manage to win: Kate Garraway's concealer and a photo of Loose Women star Jane McDonald, as picked by Adele.

Catch up with all the action from tonight’s episode as it unfolded below.

Hello, and welcome to tonight's I'm a Celebrity live blog.
 
Just to warn: I will not be eating any insects while writing it. 
One friendship nobody expected that every viewer is now secretly hoping for? Caitlyn Jenner and Girls Aloud's Nadine Coyle.

Just under 30 minutes to go until the unlikeliest partnership – Kate Garraway and Caitlyn Jenner – take on the first trial of this year's series.
ITV have absolutely just nicked BBC's Who Do You Think You Are for Ant & Dec's DNA Journey, haven't they?
Anyway, here we go - episode two is beginning right this second.
And roll the cringiest opening credits in reality TV show history.
To be honest, as someone who doesn't always watch this show, I'm *fairly* impressed by this year's line-up.
And it's good to see Ant back.
Caitlyn's already voicing concerns about being in the jungle. It's day two.
It's also quite funny to think if she wasn't here, she'd be at home playing with her step-grandkid, whose dad is Kanye West. And yet her new best mate is Nadine from Girls Aloud.
Roman Kemp is a snorer, which would be interesting if I had more of an idea who Roman Kemp actually is.
Considering it's about zero degrees in London tonight, watching James and Caitlyn get immersed in freezing cold water is not an enjoyable experience.
Enter left, Ian Wright and Kate Garraway learning how to rugby tackle, because why not.
Jacqueline Jossa is obsessed with the Kardashians in news that isn't that surprising.
It is weirdly enthralling to see Caitlyn talking about the Kardashians, to be fair.
So the first trial is about to take place and it is... Caitlyn Jenner and Kate Garraway!
Caitlyn seems unfazed by all of this.
Kate, on the other hand...
