Scenes
Unknown Episode
Carol Thatcher (the 52-year-old daughter of the former prime minister) violates the hygiene rules of this "reality" show by squatting to pee next to her cot in the middle of the night, rather than using the camp toilet that was provided. The action is caught on an infrared camera. (Series 5)
Unknown Episode
Similar to Thatcher's misbehavior, Star Trek actor George Takei leaves the bus where he is sleeping for a late night wee just outside. He is scolded because urine will attract rats. (Series 8)
Unknown Episode
Model Janice Dickinson also violated the no-weeing rule (Series 9). She then denied it when talking to Lou Diamond Phillips.
Unknown Episode
Dancer Vincent Simone joined the long list of celebrities who are too scared (or too lazy) to obey the no-weeing rule. (Series 13)
Unknown Episode
The toilet facility (basically a hole in the ground with a wooden seat over it) is explained to the celebrities upon arrival at the camp. The women express concerns about someone peeping on them, so a curtain that can be pulled up around the user is demonstrated. One of the women declares that she is bursting, and asks to use the hole right then. (Series 14)
Unknown Episode
Jake Quickenden is also caught violating the no-weeing rule. TV presenter Melanie Sykes says "If I had a willy I'd probably do it too." Meanwhile footballer Jimmy Bullard admitted peeing in the pool. (Series 14)
Unknown Episode
Tennis great Martina Navratilova mentions that she once timed herself peeing for 1 minute and 40 seconds. Fellow contestant Esther Rantzen laughs and calls her a "weeing champion." (Series 8)
Season 1 Episode 1: Bug Shower
Tara Palmer-Tomkinson performed several desperation scenes in the first episodes of Series 1.
Season 7 Episode 7: Catch a Crawling Star
Four contestants (two men and two women) are locked in a Land Rover together, and the winner who is whoever can stay the longest. There is some talk at the beginning of how they will eventually all need to wee, and finally Katie Hopkins gives in for that reason (at 6 hours and 22 minutes) and leaves John Burton Race as the victor. John had previously said he would pee into a bottle or through a hole in the floor if necessary, but Katie didn't like those options.
