The I’m A Celebrity contestants had a close call in camp when they spotted a deadly Funnel Web spider – which can kill within an hour - under Janice’s bed.

The drama unfolded when J spotted the shiny black spider scurrying around. He yelled out: “Oh dear, it’s one of the bad ones folks. I think we’ve got a bad spider in camp, quite a big black shiny spider in camp.”

Janice immediately started panicking and yelling: “Get it, get it, get it.”

J tried to catch the spider under a frying pan, but it crawled out and disappeared.

But the spider soon emerged again and Janice became quite hysterical as J tried to catch it.

He said: “Stop panicking me while I get it.”

J scooped the spider into a glass jar and took it to the Bush Telegraph.

Biggins said: “Well done J, you’re my man.”

Later Gemma explained to the Bush Telegraph: “We tried to get it but it escaped. It escaped under Janice’s bed. J was a hero because I wouldn’t have got near a venomous spider, no way.”

Biggins said: “Very brave J, he was rummaging around very bravely with a glass canister to find the spider and we couldn’t find it at all and Janice was getting mad because it was under her bed.”

Janice added: “There was a spider under my bed the size of a little baseball. It was making its way towards my bed, the last thing I need is a huge spider bite on my arse.”

J said: “I think I may have indeed just gained superhero status. I may be the next, I think its Peter Parker who is Spiderman, if so it may be now J Brown.”
