Reverend Richard Cole reflects ‘The end is in sight’ as ITV I’m A Celebrity final four look back on their journey
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! star Reverend Richard Cole and his campmates reflected over the three weeks they have spent together in the Australian jungle.
After the celebrities completed the Cyclone challenge and knew they were bringing home a good dinner, they began to reflect on their time on the show.
Sitting around the campfire, Cole quizzed Danny Jones on what he was like at school, as he revealed: “I was cheeky, I was a teacher’s mate, not a pet.
“RE was my favourite subject, the reason why, the teacher was so chilled I could flirt with the girls and he’d never tell me off!”
Sharing that he had his first girlfriend in year 2 of primary school, Cole replied: “Blimey, early starter!”
This prompted Cole to ask Coleen Rooney if Wayne Rooney was her first boyfriend, leaving the WAG to respond: “Yeah, well no, when I was growing up I’d date, he was my first serious one that I took home.”
Despite enjoying the conversation, it was soon interrupted by food being lowered into camp, as the celebrities realised it would be their last dinner as a four.
Jones reflected: “So this is our last hurrah I suppose! We’ve done Cyclone, we’ve had some ice cream, we’ve had a great day today. Finishing it off with a great meal tonight would just be the cherry on top!”
Learning they’d be dining on wallaby wings that evening, they all cheered to one another, as Oti Mabuse said: “Top four! Yay.”
In the Bush Telegraph, Cole said: “The end is in sight now, we’re all imagining life beyond the jungle and that makes us I think more anxious I think to value the time we’ve had together.”
After dinner, the campmates took the opportunity to reflect on their experience, leaving Cole to begin: “I’ve had a great time, I’ve loved it. And even the tough stuff, looking back, I know I’ll have loved the whole thing.”
“These last few days have made it for me to say I actually have really enjoyed it,” Rooney added before Jones agreed: “It’s just been more fun, hasn’t it? As we’ve gone on.”
Mabuse expressed: “When we’ve been more intimate, as a smaller group.”
Cole mused: “And when we’re very old, and me exceptionally old, we’ll remember it. We’ll bump into each other as Coleen picks up her peerage, Lady Rooney.
“Danny’s there to get his knighthood and Oti Mabuse is there to sit on the throne! I’ll turn up with my sandwiches and go ‘I used to know them!’” As the campmates laughed along.
A reflective Cole later expressed in the Bush Telegraph: “The end is in sight now, and I know that whoever I bump into, any of these people, ever again, wherever it is.

“I will smell wood smoke and I will hear crickets and we’ll look at each other and we’ll just know that we’ve shared this experience, and it’s been a very special one and unique to us and that I think is, I mean the best of it, actually.”
To round off the evening, Mabuse remembered she had a play left of her luxury item entitling her with three plays of her favourite song, Bon Jovi – It’s My Life.
Marking the occasion of their last night as a four, she decided to play it in camp as all the celebrities had a singsong around the fire.
