    Swimming champย Rebecca Adlingtonย is taking on her first Bushtucker Trial tonight for Iโ€™m A Celebrityโ€ฆ Get Me Out Of here! 2013.

    The trial sees Rebecca encased in a tank that is slowly filling up with water as she is joined by a bunch of jungle critters โ€“ including yabbies and crocodiles.

    Should be the perfect task, right? She’s totally used to water and she no doubt trained in pools with crocodiles all of the time. No? No.

    “This is Walter, a sea otter with a hearty appetite. He was rescued in Tofino, British Columbia in October 2013 after being shot. Walter currently resides at the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Mammal Rescue Centre where he is undergoing rehabilitation.

    Here, he’s getting fed clams and shrimp. They also eat mussels, chitons, snails, prawns, crabs, abalone, sea urchins, squid, sea star arms and sometimes fishes.”

    Mmmmhhh!

    Targeted for Russian tourists. I remember that swimming pool well, from back in 2009 when we visited kinesiology professor Rein Haljand in Tallinn for a swim analysis of Pรกl Joensen. Coach hit that black water slide so hard, that water sprayed over the side and landed right next to a woman swimming breaststroke below :-P

    When little Anghelina Bulman heard about the devastation Typhoon Haiyan has caused to millions of people in the Philippines, the country of her motherโ€™s birth, she was determined to help.

    So the five-year-old, who lives in Fakenham, is to attempt to swim 250 metres to help three Filipino families try to rebuild their lives.

    She wants to raise at least ยฃ600 to help her auntโ€™s partnerโ€™s family, whose home has been destroyed.
