👀 It's getting awfully steamy today as the boys discuss what really is running through their minds when filming a sex scene. What do you wear? How are they filmed? Is it ultimately really weird?

🦗 Colson was Down Under for just five days on the I'm A Celeb Unpacked sofa but he's come back unable to stop banging on about it all. Cut him in half he says and, like a stick of rock, kangaroos and Australian cuisine (Mexican food) runs through him. Plus, because he had a much cushtier experience than the I'm A Celebrity campmates it wouldn't be fair for him to get away scot free. So Ben's got something up his sleeve that combines lots of blending with Colson's mortal enemy: hot drinks. ...
