Irish model Nadia Forde was one of the stars entering the jungle on Sunday night.
The series premiere of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! was a huge ratings winner last night, proving that it remains a huge hit with Irish audiences.
3e achieved their highest ever ratings for a premiere episode of the show, as 653,000 viewers – 15.8% of the viewing population – tuned in to see the year's group of celebrities enter the jungle. It meant their audience in the Republic Of Ireland was three times bigger than that of UTV, who are also broadcasting the show.
Among the 2014 line-up – which includes Tinchy Stryder, Melanie Sykes and Jimmy Bullard – is Irish model and singer Nadia Forde with TV3 Group putting the surge in viewers down to her presence. Her Nadia Goes To Hollywood reality show was a ratings success for 3e earlier in the year.
I'm A Celebrity... continues tonight at 9pm.
