Yahoo News I'm a Celeb's Rita Simons and Anne Hegerty react to their viral farting
While Harry Redknapp is certainly the King of the Jungle on I'm a Celebrity this year, his campmates Rita Simons and Anne Hegerty have also been crowned by viewers… as the Queens of Flatulence.
Both stars went viral during the series for their unapologetic farting in the camp, with former EastEnders star Rita breaking the most wind on social media (sorry!) for her especially loud trumping in the dunny.

Both stars found out about their farts going viral in the behind-the-scenes special I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! Coming Out on Wednesday (December 12).
As soon as she was reunited with her mum after her eviction, Rita desperately asked: "Tell me now, was there a story in the press about me farting?!"
"It was everywhere, it was hysterical," her mum admitted, with Rita complaining: "The one time I do a big loud fart, it’s on national television!"

To her credit, Rita decided to embrace her farting when she got to her hotel, by admitting to her co-stars: "I’m off to have a shower and a poo!"
And yes, she then really did cuddle her toilet lovingly in full view of a camera for at least several seconds!
That's an image many viewers won't forget:

When Anne Hegerty came out of the jungle a few days later, she played it completely cool when she was reminded that she'd actually farted directly in campmate Nick Knowles's face at one point.
What a way to start the day! 🌬 #ImACeleb pic.twitter.com/OxUHsmnv5s

"Sometimes it's just gotta go," she joked. "Every time I got up from the bed, I had to kind of do this thing where basically my arse was in the air. If it’s gonna happen, it’s gonna happen."
That's why we love you, Anne!
Anne farting on Nick is still my favourite bit 🤣 #imaceleb #imacelebrity
