I'm A Celeb 2020 Jordan North

16

I wake up late again this morning to Giovanna shaking me awake to come and join everyone for breakfast.

I walk out wrapped up in Jordan's sleeping bag and go and sit down next to Vernon.

"Aw, morning Iris, you look like a caterpillar" Vernon shoves me as Gi hands me my food.

"Whose drawn a penis on Russel's happy birthday signs?" I hear Vernon ask.

"It's meant to be balloon's but it looks like a penis" Jordan shyly says and I looked up to the sign to see how his picture does look like a penis.

I finish up my food which has made me perk up a tad and I run over and give Russel a hug and start to sing happy birthday.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to Russel, happy birthday to you!" by the end of the song all the other camp mates have joined in.

"Thanks Iris, you have a great singing voice you know" Russel teases me and I blush as I can't take compliments.

"I'm coming after your job" I start making up some random opera song which causes everyone to chuckle.

"She's wide awake now, aren't you Ris." Jordan jokes and pulls me to sit on his lap.

"Ris?" I question him.

"You call me Jord, so now I'm calling you Ris" I hide my face into the crook of Jordan's neck to hide my blush.

"I like it" I mumble into his neck and get off his lap to go and brush my teeth.

I walk back into the bedroom and see Ruthie and Russel having a cuddle in the bedroom.

"Are you okay Russel?" I walk over and sit on the bed opposite him.

"Yeah, just a bit overwhelmed" I see him wiping a few tears off of his face and Ruthie walks away so I decide to go over and give him a hug.

"It's crazy isn't it?" I 'randomly' ask Russel.

"What is?" He chuckles at me.

"Well we are very much alike. When I was 15 I had leukaemia and I was so lucky that it was treated and gone but every birthday after that must be celebrated so I am going to be cracking all my best jokes today and doing everything I can possibly do to make your day better." I smile and let a few tears roll down my cheeks as Russel leans over and gives me a massive hug.

"I had no idea, I knew about your mum but I had no clue about you" Russel sniffs into my shoulder.

"It was the hardest part of my life so I don't like talking about it but sometimes it's good to share and talk about it. You're lucky I'm still here so you can see my awesome opera singing skills" I jokingly wiggle my eyebrows at Russel.

"If you don't win this show I'm gonna be very surprised, you are very like able" Russel gives me a final hug and we walk off.

"Everyone loves me!" I shout and giggle whilst I skip back into the main camp with Russel following me.

We walk back into camp to see Jordan with a scroll.

"Celebrities, 4 camp mates will take on today's challenge. However, who takes part is down to chance. One at a time you must draw a stick from the bucket, if the end of the stick is red you will be taking part in the challenge. Good luck!" Jordan announces.

AJ picked out a stick first from the bucket and the end of the stick was black. Beverley went next and sadly it was red, which meant she would be taking part in today's challenge. Giovanna went next and also pulled out a red stick. Holly went up next and she pulled out a black stick.
