Personally, I’m looking forward to our downgraded former health secretary sweating like a pensioner in a care home during the earlier stages of the Covid-19 pandemic. Matt Hancock is entering the jungle soon Apart from the fee and the usually transient boost to the celebrities’ fame, the truth about the all-too familiar trials is that ITV, its Australian partners, their hundreds of producers, medics, technicians, health’n’safety execs, and animal cruelty advisers make sure that there is virtually no real jeopardy involved in anything that happens in the “jungle”, and there never has been. The formulaic danger-free challenges, the critically weak banter, the spectacular photography, the lavish graphics, the hundreds of cameras in the jungle clearing, the flash cars, the sweaty armpits, the makeshift beds and loos, and the vicarious thrills are the secrets of the show’s success.
