Rebekah Emelogu's Passionate Kiss Demonstration on I'm a Celebrity Australia
In a memorable moment from Tuesday's episode of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! Australia, former soap star Rebekah Emelogu engaged in a very passionate kiss with her campmate, comedian Nath Valvo. The scene unfolded as the 52-year-old actress, known for her roles in Home and Away and Neighbours, discussed her extensive experience with on-screen smooches over the years.
Discussing the Art of the Television Kiss
While reminiscing about a kissing scene with her former Home and Away co-star Guy Pearce, Rebekah was questioned by Nath Valvo about how a television kiss differs from a real one. The actress explained that typically, there is 'no tongue' involved in such scenes, though she noted that this can vary depending on the comfort levels of the actors involved. This candid conversation about the mechanics of staged intimacy led to an impromptu demonstration that captivated their fellow campmates.
A Playful and Passionate Demonstration
Nath Valvo then cheekily asked Rebekah if she could show him how a fake kiss is performed, offering himself as her scene partner. The two enlisted their campmates to play the roles of pretend directors and cameramen, setting the stage for their playful performance. They locked lips in a passionate clinch, tumbling down together in a dramatic embrace that had everyone watching in amusement.
After the mock scene concluded, they rose to their feet, laughing uproariously at the gag. 'I hope Rebekah doesn't fall in love with me!' Nath joked afterwards, lightening the mood further. Rebekah has been married to her husband Kane Baker since 2009, and they share a son named Kai, while Nath has been married to his husband Cody since 2023, adding a layer of context to their light-hearted interaction.
Contrasting Camp Dynamics and Tensions
This playful moment stands in stark contrast to the tensions that have been brewing in the jungle camp. Just a day earlier, on Monday's episode of the popular Channel 10 reality series, Nath found himself in a heated argument with singer Deni Hines, which nearly reduced him to tears. After criticising Triple J star Concetta Caristo for not helping around the camp, Deni turned her attention to Nath, bluntly telling him, 'You're lazy as f***.'
Nath was visibly taken aback by the comment, responding defensively that he had been offering to help but was often told off. He later expressed his distress to campmates Concetta and Matt Zukowski, saying, 'I feel like she's going out of her way to embarrass me in front of people and I just don't know what to do about it.' A clip of Nath's emotional breakdown was shared on the I'm a Celebrity Instagram page, drawing a flood of sympathetic comments from fans.
Fan Reactions and Support
Former I'm a Celebrity contestant and Gogglebox star Yvie Jones was among those who voiced support for Nath, writing directly to him, 'I'm really sorry you had to see her speaking about you like she did tonight.' Another follower questioned Deni's approach, commenting, 'I don't understand how Deni would come into the jungle not knowing about or seeing the show. It doesn't make sense.' This mix of drama and camaraderie highlights the unpredictable nature of life in the jungle, where moments of laughter and conflict intertwine.
