During lockdown, Noughties Podcast co-host Tom Pooley had the privilege of spending his days on Zooms calls with legendary broadcaster Tony Blackburn, recording his BBC Radio 2 Show. Each week, after Tony had recorded his links, the two of them would stay on the line for 10 minutes making small talk while the file was uploaded and sent over. One day, Tom decided to turn the conversation to the first series of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! Tony was the winner - which took place in the summer of 2002 - and crowned King of the Jungle. It was the first reality TV show to include celebrities and it was an instant hit, with the finale reaching nearly 11 million people. Tom's conversation with Tony about I'm a Celeb leads him to speak to two other participants in that series: Rhona Cameron and Christine Hamilton (who made the final). The trio share their recollections from the time, how the show changed their lives and what impact it still has. This podcast is a 4Kicks Production and presented by Tom Pooley, Sophie Donovan and Rob Comba. Find out more: https://www.4kicksproductions.com/ Hosted on Acast.
