THE BUSH GRUB CHALLENGE

Product Information

Fatima Whitbread had to have a cockroach flushed out of her nose during the same series, while Joe Swash wretched his way through a tempting meal of silk worms, cockroaches and crocodile penis during his 2008 appearance. Every five minutes (for the next 3 hours) you must text someone new in your phone a random fact about cockroaches. A challenge involving crawling through a series of dark, smelly tunnels looking for stars but some of the tunnels lead to dead ends. They are often the celebs who have the biggest fears or most extravagant reactions, rather than those who grin and bear it.

It’s exemplified by an actual secretary of state, Chris Heaton-Harris, repeatedly going on telly yesterday to smugly claim that “hundreds of MPs and peers” were downloading the I’m a Celebrity app and voting for Hancock to face unpleasant trials. All conversations are entirely confidential (though may include the occasional hint of Australian slang). If you find yourself in a stuffy environment which is suffocating your enjoyment for the job, you may be in the wrong company. Adam Thomas and Danny Baker - Actor Adam Thomas and radio presenter Danny Baker battled underwater creatures as they took part in the Cage Rage Bushtucker challenge in series 16. This feels like a version of the Kennedy assassination conspiracies where Matt Hancock claims some people believe the second gunman on the grassy knoll was Matt Hancock.In general, I think it best never to even mention the children of politicians – but in this case, it feels like the entire point.

You must also start every conversation with ‘g’day mate’ and fit in as many Australian clichés as you possibly can. The pair had to literally sing for their suppers as they were pelted with creepy crawlies - and their campmates had to guess what the songs were. We want to know what makes you tick, get in contact and we can have a chat about the type of company you’d like to recruit for. This game for two or more players includes six pots that are packed with lots of treats and real edible insects, ensuring no one misses the chance to try some bugs.

Which brings me to the other horror show on offer: Conservative MPs queueing up to pour scorn on Hancock now. A staple part of the competition, Bushtucker Trials are the challenges by which the campmates gain their food treats. Where were you when Dominic Cummings was writing to Boris Johnson about Hancock’s hopelessness, saying “I think we are negligently killing the most vulnerable who we are supposed to be shielding and I am extremely worried about it”? Matt Hancock’s greatest fear is not snakes, as he told the show producers, but of crossing that chasm.

At this point I reflexively sought to cover my eyes with my hands, only to realise they were already there. As the series spells the lead up to Christmas and recruiters find a little more time on their hands, it’s the perfect opportunity to take a crack at our own Recruitment Bush Tucker Trials!From eating bugs to being pelted with rotten tomatoes, Bucktucker Trials are definitely one of the best bits of I'm A Celeb.
