Daredevil students are invited to take on an epic late-night jungle challenge inspired by reality competition show I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! this week.
Returning to Manchester following huge success and demand for tickets earlier this year, I’m a Celebrity… Jungle Challenge has announced that its popular ‘Jungle Beats’ series is back once again this week, and it’s giving students arriving to study at universities across our city-region exclusive access to the Salford-based blockbuster attraction.

Students and those over 18 will take on a series of challenges that are said to put nerves and agility to the ultimate test.
Unfamiliar with what I’m a Celebrity… Jungle Challenge is all about?
The new action-packed experience opened in MediaCityUK back in July 2021, and it sees ‘campmates’ race against each other to collect stars through a series of different physical and mental challenges all in an epic jungle setting complete with Main Camp, The Throne, and Winner’s Bridge.

Just like in the popular ITV reality competition show, those who come out on top will be crowned ‘King or Queen of the Jungle’.
What makes Jungle Beats: Volume II a little different to normal though is that resident house DJ Sam Pratt will be providing the ultimate backing track as campmates race around and tackle the trials and challenges in a bid to bank stars and take the glory of a win home to the halls before darkness descends on the jungle each night.
And for those looking for something a little more refreshing after taking on a challenge, the venue’s on-site Outback Shack will be dishing up a cocktail of themed alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.

Some of the biggest names in fitness came together for an inspiring International Women’s Day event at Hero Training Clubs in Manchester this month.
Lucy Davis, a former GB swimmer and fitness influencer with a massive 587k followers on Instagram alone, hosted the event at the boutique gym in the city centre.
The Someday is Today event featured fitness classes, panel talks, networking and food and drink, all geared towards celebrating and empowering strong women.
Lucy brought together women from across the fitness industry to showcase that women can build strong bodies without ever feeling intimidated in the gym.
Speakers at the panel talks included TikTok fitness sensation Natalee B Fitness (whose videos show why no one should feel self-conscious in the gym), Gymshark athlete and Shreddy trainer Oyinda Okunowo, and nutritionist Dr Emilia Thompson.
They were also joined by Farah Fonseca, who’s been named England’s Strongest Woman three times, best-selling food author Lucy Lord, and disabled bodybuilder Taylor Crisp.
Then those who attended took part in two of Hero’s industry-leading fitness classes, either spin and conditioning, or boxing and yoga, taught by some of Manchester’s best female instructors, encouraging people to step out of their comfort zone.
Goody bags stuffed with items from Gymshark and Myprotein were handed out at the end of the day, with Myprotein also handing out snacks and protein to fuel the day.
A spokesperson for Hero said: “We are so proud to have hosted such an empowering event for Women run by an amazing athlete herself – Lucy Davis.
“We are looking forward to hosting more events like this in the future as it shows exactly what our gym is about working on yourself but in a positive and motivating community.”

Craig David is bringing his legendary TS5 party to Manchester for a massive outdoor summer show.
The legendary singer, songwriter and DJ will be taking over City Airport in Manchester, also known as Barton Aerodrome.
The special show will combine old school anthems with R&B, garage, and bashment, alongside plenty of contemporary hits.
Craig David, who rocketed to fame in the late 1990s, first launched his TS5 parties, where he sings, MCs and DJs, as an exclusive pre-party at his own penthouse in Miami.
Initially, Craig used them as a way to play his favourite music to the people he loved the most – but it proved such a hit that he started to take it on the road.

Guaranteed to be a great night out, Craig David Presents TS5 is now heading to Manchester for a summer show.
The star has sold more than 15 million albums, secured more than 10 top 10 hits, and achieved multi-platinum status in more than 20 countries around the world.
His TS5 shows now sell out at prestigious venues across the globe, and he’s even taken it to the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury.
The unique live concert will take place at City Airport in Manchester on Friday 14 July, just outside the city – the huge space surrounded by lush green fields will be transformed with epic light and sound productions.
You can expect a night of sing-along hits, good time grooves and Craig David classics.
Tickets will go on sale from 9am on Friday 31 March with Skiddle.
