Campers get the Bug after ill Camilla's exit; RESULT!

  • Captain John Shaw (navy) (1773 - 1823 Sep. 17), Captain in the United States Navy during First Barbary War and the War of 1812.

JOE BUGNER would not seem the obvious replacement for I'm A Celebrity casualty Camilla Beam-me-up - unless you saw him in the ring.

Bugner was to heavyweight boxing what Camilla was to heavyweight boxing. At least she's a looker. He was 24-carat palooka pa·loo·ka

1. Sports An incompetent or easily defeated athlete, especially a prizefighter.

2. Slang A stupid or clumsy person.

She clearly hadn't taken account of the hungry factor but that won't be a problem for Hungary-born Big Joe - he's used to taking a count.

Some say Bugner turned to boxing prematurely. He had just 16 amateur fights - the big problem was most were after he turned pro.

The 59-year-old was never popular with the British public after ending Henry Cooper's career in the ring.

Bugner was an adviser on the Russell Crowe boxing film Cinderella Man but was dropped halfway through, the story of most of his fights. His sacking prompted him to call Crowe "a gutless worm", but not loud enough for Russ to hear. Totesport rate Bugner at 10-1, while Blue Square make him 20-1.

Early favourite Jimmy Weight drifted from 7-2 to 6-1. That's because he seems to spend his time at camp sitting down while the action goes on around him- which pretty much sums up his snooker career.
