ITV own your brains
Some somewhat alarming news for the celebrities - and David Van Day and Timmy Mallet - down in the wilds of ITV. Cerys Matthews is suggesting they check their contracts:
"Anything written in the jungle belongs to ITV. It's in the contract," she told ITV2's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here Now. "David and Timmy think it could be a Christmas Number One but the money will go to ITV."
Presumably this is a little snare that ITV added in after Insania; but it makes you wonder who would be so foolish as to sign a contract which would strip away their rights like that? I'm A Celebrity With A Rotten Agent Get Me Out Of Here...

Two questions here: when exactly are David and Timmy going to get time and resources to put out a Christmas single with three weeks' notice (especially one going up against the channel's own cash cow), and Cerys told ITV that ITV were doing people over and they broadcast it?
*shameful face* I loathe myself for recalling this (and for considering it worth typing onto the internets), but...
Peter Andre's 'Insania' would probably have been safe from ITV's grubby mitts. He did claim during the show that the song came to him in the jungle; However, a few weeks into the series, a tabloid hack stumbled across a record label's two-year-old promo CD, showcasing their artists. One track was, erm, 'Insania' by Peter Andre.
Don't know whether "Anything written in the jungle" applies to "Anything written two years ago which you watched wither and die at the hands of an indifferent public, and so had a crack at reviving in the jungle".
