HAVING patiently watched a few episodes of 'I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here,' I would be delighted if in the next series cigarettes or cigars are banned from being used as a life-saving prop.

It is ludicrous to be stranded with no contact with civilisation and to expect to be supplied with fags.

Much better to have the group kicking and screaming as they go through withdrawal.

And let's have a genuine aboriginal live with them and teach them true survival. I should think that if any true aboriginals saw the show on Australian television they would fall about with laughter, seeing that plentiful supply of real luxury food being turned down.

Witchita grubs -- they would sell their souls for a plateful of them. Edible snakes, rats and the edible crustaceans, they would think that Christmas was every day.

It would do these "celebrities" good to live with genuine people.
