Rumours Of Who's Appearing On “I’m A Celebrity 2012!”


I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here is a reality television game show series in which 8 to 15 celebrities live together in a jungle environment for a few weeks. They have no luxuries, and compete to be crowned king or queen of the jungle. The first episode aired in 2002 and is now about to start its 12th series in the United Kingdom!

I’m sure we all can’t wait until the next series of I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here finally starts on ITV1 and there have been plenty of rumours about which celebrities will be on it this year...

The most recent rumour has been that Helen Flanagan is set to appear on the show as she addresses reports. Helen also told The Sun that the series would be a ‘daunting project’ for her fears. “It would be a daunting prospect as I’m very scared of heights and it would be a real challenge, I think it’s something you would have to really think about before agreeing to do.”

Some other rumours of the celebrities appearing on the show are; singer Grace Jones, darts champion Eric Bristow and Birds of a Feather star Linda Robson. However the bosses this year said that they are keen to get some Olympic stars on the show too! They said that they would love former cycling champs Bradley Wiggins and Elizabeth Armitstead, as well as gymnast champ Beth Tweddle and swimmer Rebecca Adlington to appear on the show too! But yet another rumour is that Eastenders star Ricky Groves has somehow been linked to I’m A Celebrity 2012 as well.

Furthermore, The Sun reported this week that the actor, (who played Garry Hobbs in the BBC One Series) has been approached to take part in the upcoming series. However, a more recent rumour is that Former What Not To Wear presenters Trinny and Susannah will be heading Down Under to take part in the new series. A source has told a newspaper: “It will be great watching Trinny and Susannah trying to slum it in the jungle. They are both strong and opinionated women and they’re bound to ruffle a lot of feathers.”

Don’t get your hopes up too soon as all can change very quickly, these are just rumours so you never know what will happen... But will any of these rumours come true? All will be revealed soon...

Police Take A Hamster Into Protective Custody.

The police in the USA have taken a hamster into protective custody after it was found roaming free in a drunk drivers car.

In the early hours of Tuesday morning the police pulled over a car. After a long chat with the driver, the police then noticed she was holding a hamster in her lap.

They then asked her to step out of her vehicle and she then placed her hamster on the dashboard of the car. She was arrested for driving under the influence of an intoxicant.

The hamster, who's name is not known, has been allowed to roam around the car. However it then took three men to get the very energetic hamster out.

The hamster looks similar to this.
It remains a mystery why the woman decided to take her furry friend along to the shop. She then later told police she had no one who would want the hamster, so she said "just kill."

A bit harsh?

The chief police executive said "A lesson to learn from this incident, other than do not drink and drive, is it is not safe to operate a motor vehicle with any type of animal on your lap."

Dead woman at the side of A90

 A woman has been found dead next to the A90, north of Laurencekirk.


Her body was found at approximately 08:00 and her death was unexplained. The police want any one that saw her walking next to or on the road on the early hours of Friday morning to contact them. The road has been closed for investigation purposes.

16 Year Old Attack

In Ballymena, on Saturday at 07:00, a teenager was robbed and beaten outside a fast-food restaurant.

The 16 year old was picking up litter in a car park when he was attacked by 3 men. He suffered minor injuries but didn't loose much money. Two 16 year olds and a 19 year old are being questioned about the incident.

Bristol Bridge Disaster

A woman and eight others, including six police officers, were killed after a silver BMW lost control and crashed into the railings of a bridge in Bristol.

After the crash the car drove and landed in a nearby lake. The six police officers died trying to save the passangers trapped, who are now being treated in the local hospital. Two drivers have now been arrested and the road is still closed for investigation.

iPad Mini?


Recently there have been a lot of rumours about the 'still to be' iPad mini. No one knows if they are true, but many believe what they read. Apple have sent out invitations, which had 'We've got a little more to show you' written on them; to an event on the 23rd of October that will hopefully reveal the largely anticipated device. 

It is thought that it will come with the new Lightening connector and maybe an updated and more powerful A6 chip. If this chip is included, then the gaming experience will certainly be a lot better than any other tablet in the market. The iPad mini, as the name suggests, will be smaller than the current line up; it is said that it will have a 7.8 inch screen, the current tablets have always had a 10 inch display. This exciting new device will go on sale on the 2nd of November this year, just in time with the Christmas rush. Rumours suggest that the tablet will be sold at a price of £150 to £200, which means that people who can't afford the current iPad can now own a smaller, but better, one.

The iPad Mini is set to battle with the other smaller tablets including Google's Nexus 7 and the Kindle Fire HD. Right now, it looks like it will win everyone over, as it will have better features and a much more respectable price. Will Apple's new tablet cause a stir and up their market value? The iPhone 5 hasn't done that yet, but the iPad Mini might...

Brunette Squirrel Discovered

Scientists have found a fourth type of squirrel living in the UK called a Brunette Squirrel. The 3 other types are red, grey and black. The Brunettes are also known as black-reds. They are dark brown with the same body shape as the red squirrel as well as tufty ears and white markings which are on its stomach. The brunette squirrels are a subtype to red squirrels which there is only 120,000 left. On the other hand there is 2.5 million greys and 25,000 blacks.
There has been a number of sightings of the brunette squirrel in places where red squirrels can still be found such as Scotland, Cumbria, Merseyside and The Isle Of Wight. There has been research on the grey and black squirrels and scientists have found that the black squirrels have a missing piece of DNA which causes them to only produce black furred baby squirrels. Now scientists want to know more about the reds and brunettes and why the greys are such a successful invader.
