The reality TV show with extra bite returned to our screens last night and fans were delighted with one character in particular.
It's that time of year when has been stars reclaim a glimpse of their former glory as they enter the famous Australian jungle. This year there's a twist as the celebs had to work in pairs with the first groupings having to earn their meal tickets by walking a plank on the edge of a skyscraper. The other half had to skydive into a lake. We can't decide which is worse.
Even though I'm A Celeb had the likes of Fizz from Corrie, Youtuber Jack Maynard, boxer Amir Khan and Vanessa White from girl band The Saturdays, it was the name Stanley Johnson that was on everyone's lips. Stanley Johnson, former politician and father of former London Mayor Boris Johnson, became the star of last nights episode and for good reason. The author didn't know what a reality show was only to be swiftly reminded that he's on one. Here's just a teaser of what the character is like:

Twitter fell in love with the Tory and his one liners:
“As long as women are happy, men are happy” - Stanley Johnson. Not all hero’s wear capes! #ImACeleb

Am thinking we can turn Stanley Johnson saying wow on I'm a celeb into a drinking game, only 5 minutes in and he's already said it about 10 times

Although some viewers hit the nail on the head about the characters likability throughout the competition:
Gonna go one of two ways with Stanley Johnson...
1) He wins
2) He says something incredibly inaproptiate and is kicked off— Chris Stark (@Chris_Stark) November 19, 2017

What if Stanley Johnson being in the jungle completely changes him and when he leaves he is able to explain to Boris that not everyone is a trust fund baby and some people have to work and survive on less than them

Can we please remember that while Stanley Johnson is funny and likeable, his son is dangerous and incompetent, and desperate to run this country

The Amir Khan jokes flooded in and a tweet from his past was deleted and we can see why:

With it being Mens International Mental Health Day viewers noted how important it was for the pair to not shy away from the past and remove the stigma around rehabiliation:
Absolutely love the way @antanddec aren’t shying away from the issues Ant has had and being able to laugh about it, breaking the stigma and not hiding away mental health issues is an important thing to do, well done lads #ImACeleb
