Katie Price and Joe Bugner were voted to do today’s I’m a Celebrity Bush Tucker Trial but as Katie left the jungle, someone else had to replace her in the challenge.

After returning from the bush telegraph hut, Colin McAllister read a note from producers. “This morning Katie and Joe were voted by the pubic to do the trial. As Katie decided to leave the jungle before she could earn food for the camp, the trial must now be completed but Joe and the next placed Celebrity. This is Kim.”

Kim said “When I found out I was doing the trial with Joe. I didn’t mind at all. We had our words last night but we’re adults. You know, heat of the moment. I said what I said and he said what he said but we’re friends, we’re adults.”

Joe added “I’m really excited because it’s my first trial and I don’t know what I’m going to confront. And people think because I’m 6 foot 4 and weigh 120 kgs, I can handle everything but quite the opposite. I don’t like taking on the little critters. I’m sure there’s going to be some beast in there. I think Kim and I will make a great team because for the simple reason that we don’t take any nonsense and unfortunately she’s a tall lady and I’ve got to watch myself because I don’t think I’m as fast as I used to be because if she throws a right cross I might be caught under the chin.”

“Or a kick in the wotsits with my boot” she added.

Kim and Joe head to their Bush Tucker Trial. Greeted by Ant & Dec, the pair were told the rules of the challenge.

This challenge involved teamwork and would see one of them blindfolded and controlling a weighted crane which hoisted the other celebrity in and over a floating pit filled with 8-10 feet long black headed pythons guarding the 11 possible stars.

Working together, the celebrity placed in the hoist must verbally direct the celebrity at the crane’s controls to get the stars and meals for camp.

Kim and Joe were warned by Medic Bob: ‘Whoever goes in the pit must go slowly, the pythons have six rows of teeth, about 90 teeth all pointed backwards. If one should bite, be calm and I”ll come in and detach the snake.’

Said Ant: ‘It’s a tough one this, who’s going in and who’s going to operate the crane?’

Kim quickly offered to operate the crane. Joe said: ‘I’m going in the pit because I don’t think it would be fair to send Kim in.’

With 15 minutes to get the 11 stars out of the pit and join them to the markers surrounding the pit, Joe was hoisted into the air and horizontally over the pit. As he put his hand into the pit, Dec said: ‘Be careful Joe, they look angry.’

Kim struggled to lift and move the heavy crane and with Joe not being crystal clear with his lefts and rights, Joe ended up being raised up instead of down and left instead of right and almost dropped straight into the pit. However by time up, they had successfully collected 9 stars and anchored them safely to their markers.

Asked by Ant and Dec how he felt it went, Joe said: ‘It was hard enough being in the pit but with a lady doing the driving up, down, left and right it’s really difficult.’

Kim added: ‘We hit it off, Joe I’m awfully proud of you.’
