Last night, as predicted, self-proclaimed "super-celebrities" Spencer and Heidi Pratt quit I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here! for the third time. But now, in a new statement (released to Usmagazine.com), Speidi's rep says they're still "in the jungle and part of the show." In fact, they never even left! So what really went down?
Well, after seemingly packing it in at the end of last night's episode, Speidi set the stage for their comeback by (publicly) begging NBC higher-ups for another chance in Costa Rica.
"The devil fooled Speidi into making an awful decision and we are praying to Jesus to get NBC to give us another shot to redeem," Spencer twittered to Perez Hilton hours after he and Heidi stormed out of the jungle claiming they were "too rich and too famous" to slum it in the wilderness.
But from the sounds of it, they didn't make it very far. Although footage surfaced this morning of the couple hiding under a sheet in LAX airport, Us claims that was actually just a fake-out (perpetuated by Stephanie Pratt!) to throw fans -- and paps -- off Speidi's tracks.
And while we wait to see whether the just-marrieds' latest return trip lasts (it's reality TV, so anything goes), the newly baptized Spencer's got another score to settle: this time, with Hills costar Audrina Patridge.
Her crime? Releasing a statement (through her publicist) saying she would never, ever go on I'm A Celebrity because she's "a star."
“Heads up, Audrina,” the pissed-off Pratt responded (via TMZ). “Just because you have a one night stand with a guy who’s in a movie called Star Trek doesn’t make you a star. You’re just a ho.”
And as if all that wasn't enough? We're STILL not sure how any of this affects rumors of Speidi's replacements (supposedly, Daniel Baldwin and Holly Montag were already tapped to fill in!). Either way, we'll keep you updated as to Mr. and Mrs. Pratt's whereabouts. After all, they're WAY too famous to fall off the radar for long. Don't believe us? Just ask them yourself!
