More Celebrities


I'm not joking, Essex is full of celebrities! Today we bumped into Konnie Huk at Colchester zoo - well, I say bumped into her...it wasn't quite like that!

We spotted her heading into a cage to film a link for the zoo programme on channel 5 and so we hovered around outside to see if we could get a better photo. Unfortunately we're too noisy and one of Konnie's entourage came out and shooed us along 'cause they could hear us on their tape. How rude!

So we abandoned our celebrity stalking and headed for the animals! Leah kept telling us she'd seen a rat and I was trying to explain to her that it was a fox, until we got to the white tiger enclosure and Leah showed us there was another! A big huge fat rat! A very bold rat to be eating the tiger's food. Then we saw loads, in different enclosures! Is that normal in a zoo?!


Megan had a chat with a chimp.Thats fine while he's facing you, but when he turns his back on you, its a different matter! Yuk!
He's not the only cheeky monkey!

Doesn't a rump like the ape's mean it's a female in breeding mode. Its as well you didn't hang around - you might have had more explaining to do re ape courtship!
