The new series of I'm A Celebrity has kicked off this week, and viewers are loving the chemistry between this year's campmates. On Wednesday night, everyone was in stitches as they impersonated fellow celebrities, with Rita Simons nailing Denise Van Outen, while Emily Atack impressed with impressions of stars including This Morning's Ruth Langsford and Love Island winner Dani Dyer. What's more, three of the celebrities this year are actually linked already, as Rita, Emily and X Factor finalist Fleur East all belonging to the same agency, InterTalent. Former EastEnders star Brooke Kinsella – who is also signed up to agency - took to Instagram after watching the show to praise the trio. Sharing a photo of them all in their jungle outfits, Brooke wrote besides the picture: "So very, very proud of our funny, beautiful, kind girls @emilyatackofficial @rita_simonsofficial @fleureast #TeamIntertalent #AllHailOurs."
