I’m A Celebrity Bush Tucker Trial: A Trio Of Terrifying Trials
TV bosses saved the best Bushtucker Trials til last for the final three brave celebs.
At stake was the ultimate in jungle dining – a choice of three courses prepared, cooked for them and delivered into camp for them to relish on their final evening together.
But this is I’m A Celebrity… and it was inevitable that there would be a fly in the ointment – all of the remaining celebs would have to endure a trial to win the best in Bushtucker.
Fill Your Face
Jason got up close and personal with cockroaches, rhino beetles, spiders, crickets and a snake for his trial.
He donned a huge glass helmet, first fashioned by Jordan several series ago, and was told that it would fill with all manner of creepy crawlies. For every 30 seconds he endured he’d move a step closer to winning a fully prepared meal for him and his team mates.
With the oversized helmet securely in place cockroaches were the first critters to be poured in. The insects quickly filled half the globe settling just below Jason’s eyes and making it difficult for him to breathe.
He gave the thumbs-up for the next load to be dropped in and rhino beetles joined Jason.
Rocking from foot to foot, locusts were next and 30 seconds later in went the spiders. To cap off the nightmarish claustrophobic experience a carpet python was added to the mix.
When the time was up the helmet was released and a coughing and spluttering Jason emerged, bleeding from scratches to his ear.
Scare-E-Oke
Myleene had to sing for her supper stepping into Antony Costa’s shoes for Scare-e-oke.
Ant and Dec explained that she’d have to step in the special recording booth and belt out five songs word for word to win the second course.
Donning protective goggles before taking her place behind the microphone, the first bars of Robbie Williams rang out and Myleene launched into song as she was gunged with fish guts. She made it to the end of the track and earned her first star.
Cockroaches cascaded down on her during Bee Gee’s hit Tragedy.
“Fabulous,� she muttered at the end.
Wannabe from the Spice Girls was up next…accompanied by white feathers and green ants.
“I think the singing is scarier than the things falling on me,� she admitted.
“I’m feeling quite Christmassy,� Ant told her. “It looks like a snow globe in there.� Star three was in the bag.
Reach For The Stars was up next, and Myleene continued to sing her heart out despite crickets descending on her.
She made it five stars out of five by reaching the end of Britney classic Hit Me Baby One More Time. As she sang the title she was bombarded by meal worms.
Bushtucker Bonanza
It’s without doubt the most feared of all the evil Trials.
This time Matt took his seat at the banqueting table and was presented with some old favourites, and some dishes appearing on the menu for the first time.
As always, the task would be made doubly difficult - he would be offered bushtucker and also tempted with a favourite dish from home.
First up were three mealworms or a beef burger – a dish all of the celebs have been dreaming of for days.
He made short work of the mealworms.
“It’s hideous,� he grimaced. “It tastes like pus; like a boil exploding in your mouth.�
Next up a delicacy – the old favourite witchetty grub.
“He looks a bit lively,� Matt said as he chased the grub across the plate, grabbed it and bit the head off before slurping on the wiggling body.
A pair of crocs eyes waited for him next. The alternative on offer was a bottle of beer. He decided to plump for the peepers and popped them in his mouth.
The penultimate dish saw Matt turn a shade of green – a kangaroo’s anus or a plate of fragrant fish and chips.
As the realisation dawned that he was going for it he uttered: “Oh my God, I’m going to eat an anus. David would be so hugely proud of me. My mates are going to talk about this for so long. I’m not going to be able to live this down.�
He struggled to chew the rubbery tube and had to tear it with his fingers to break it down into smaller pieces.
“It’s the hardest one,� he declared. “It didn’t taste of anything. It’s just that a kangaroo shits out of that.�
Rumours have abounded this series about a new addition to the Bushtucker Bonanza and sure enough it greeted Matt as Dec lifted the lid on…a crocodile’s penis.
Deciding to take the bull by the horns, or more literally the crocodile by the penis, he bit off almost more than he could chew and grimaced throughout as he chomped away and finally swallowed. He’d scored top marks.
