I'm A Celebrity 2014 launch - as it happened: Gemma Collins, Jimmy Bullard and co enter the jungle

The first episode of I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here! has kicked off and Gemma Collins has already had a meltdown. The bubbly TOWIE star was in tears in the helicopter before she even reached the camp and threatened to quit after ditching the chopper and struggling to find her campmates.
She is being joined in the jungle by Tinchy Stryer, Melanie Sykes, Michael Buerk, Craig Charles, Vicki Michelle, Carl Fogarty, Kendra Wilkinson, Jimmy Bullard and Nadia Forde.
Gemma's team had to spend their first night in the Celebrity Slammer while the others set about on a challenge to save them.
Carl has been the first star to be rescued from the prison and now doesn't have to live on porridge. But he did have to take part in the first Bushtucker Trial - Snakes in a Drain.
It's not long now until we see Gemma Collins have a break down before even getting to camp and the rest of the stars heading to the jungle.
