Reverend Coles: My I'm A Celeb Journey - From Pulpit to Jungle!

Hey everyone! So, you want the lowdown on my I'm A Celeb experience? Buckle up, buttercup, because it was a wild ride – a total rollercoaster of emotions, unexpected friendships, and enough creepy crawlies to make your skin crawl. Seriously, I'm still finding spiders in my dreams.

From Sermons to Starving: The Unexpected Transition

Before I even thought about munching on kangaroo testicles (don't ask!), I was a vicar, a man of God, you know? Used to my quiet life, my comfy bed, and regular meals. Then, bam! I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! It was a massive leap of faith, and honestly, a little bit terrifying. I'd never done anything remotely like it before. My congregation was shocked, to say the least! Some were thrilled, others...well, let's just say they needed some extra prayers that week. My biggest worry? How would I handle the challenges, especially the trials?

The Trials: More Than Just Bugs!

Let me tell you, those Bushtucker Trials? They weren't a joke. I mean, the producers weren't kidding when they said “gruesome” and “disgusting.” The eating challenges were the worst for me, especially the ones with questionable textures. I’m not exactly known for my adventurous palate. I remember one trial in particular where I had to eat a witchetty grub... live! The look on my face? Priceless. The taste? I’d rather not discuss it. I'll spare you the details, but let's just say my stomach did not appreciate the experience. It was all part of the experience though, right?

Camp Life: Camaraderie and Conflict

Living in the jungle with a bunch of strangers? It's a recipe for both drama and unlikely friendships. I bonded with some unexpected people – it’s amazing how shared experiences (like near-starvation) can bring people together. We supported each other, even when things got rough. I’d never been camping before this, so living rough was a massive learning experience. The humidity, the lack of privacy, the constant bugs...It was challenging to say the least! There were definitely moments of conflict, of course. It's only human nature, right? But overall, I think we created a pretty strong camp dynamic.

The Unexpected Benefits

Strangely enough, my time in the jungle also made me more mindful. Before the show, I was a creature of habit. My schedule was rigid. After my time on the show, I learned a lot about living in the moment and embracing the unexpected. I’d become so used to the comfort of my life that I forgot how to appreciate the simple things. I’ve become much more appreciative of hot showers, soft beds and regular meals.

The Aftermath: A Changed Man?

Coming back to "civilization" was almost as jarring as going into the jungle! The biggest adjustment was the sheer abundance of everything – food, hot water, privacy! My faith and my views haven’t radically changed. Instead, the experience reinforced my values and made me appreciate the simple things. So, would I do it again? Honestly? Probably not. But it was an unforgettable experience, one that taught me more about myself than I could have ever imagined. I learned a lot about resilience, friendship, and the importance of a decent cup of tea.
