I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! (British TV series) series 4

The fourth series of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! began on 21 November 2004 and ended on 6 December 2004. The programme ran for 16 days, one more than in the previous series (18 days if counting the day the celebrities arrived and the morning the finalists exited). The series was won by comedian Joe Pasquale, with Paul Burrell narrowly coming second by a 2% margin. Pasquale raised £175,000 by taking part in the show and donated this to his nominated charity, Cerebral Palsy Care Centre in Rochester.

Following its completion, ITV2 broadcast a one-off pre-recorded series with Mark Durden-Smith as host that featured Australian civilians as 'guinea pig' campmates to test-run a selection of challanges and trials ahead of the main series. Instead of a viewers vote each night, I'm an Aussie... used a Bush Panel, consisting of series one runner-up Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, series two winner Phil Tufnell and the main show's resident on-screen medic Bob McCarron, to decide who would take part in these and be voted out of camp.

Burrell would compete on two further seasons of the show – first, he competed on the 4th season of the Australian version of the show, placing 9th and later competed in the first series of I'm a Celebrity...South Africa, an all-star edition of I'm a Celebrity UK. Burrell was eliminated alongside series 16 contestant Carol Vorderman, with the pair finishing joint sixth and fifth overall.

As Brian Harvey arrived in camp, it was announced that his grandmother had died, and he was given the option to leave camp, but decided to stay. During dinner, an argument broke out between Harvey and Janet Street-Porter, and Harvey decided to quit that evening following the spat with Street-Porter.

"You're cooking dinner! You're f**king over there, I'm over there (points away). Don't keep f**king having a go at me about farting!...Just because you think it's wrong doesn't mean everyone else thinks it's wrong. I'm farting because I need to f**king fart, because all I've eaten is f**king beans!... I take it very personal because you know that there's 16 million people watching!"
