BEWARE OF THE TREES ;D
Nine million viewers have tuned in to the first episode of TV show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here.
Sunday's show beat BBC One costume drama North and South, which got 6.1m viewers and Four Weddings and a Funeral on Channel 4, watched by 3.2m.
Singer Natalie Appleton asked to leave the programme less than two days after landing in the Australian jungle camp.
The former All Saints member managed to stay, only to be chosen by the public to complete a tightrope challenge.
The 31-year-old had said she did not feel "mentally prepared" for the show, but decided to stay.
However she later woke her fellow contestants, tearfully complaining there was a spider in her bed.
The final contestant, former East 17 singer Brian Harvey, joined the group late following his grandmother's death.
Appleton's odds have plummeted after the first show and she is now 10/1 to win with bookmakers William Hill. Pasquale is favourite at 10/3, followed by Cosgrave and Fargas at 5/1.
Some of the group skydived into the jungle with Burrell screaming "no, no, no" as he jumped before a gust of wind blew him and his tandem master a mile off course.
The others had to ride on horseback for four hours until they got to their base.
Once there, Cosgrave was chosen to face the first "bush tucker trial", being covered in and bitten by insects, winning four meals to share between the 10.
Tensions were already evident on the first show, with Appleton's upsets annoying several members of the group and Street-Porter arguing with Burrell about the royal family.
"The monarchy is past its sell-by date and even in spite of how they treated you, you will stick up for them?" she said.
Former Atomic Kitten singer Kerry McFadden won the last series.
