The stars of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! barely had time to exchange hellos before hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly dropped a bombshell: “Everyone to the trial, NOW!” What was supposed to be a glamorous meet-and-greet turned into an instant plunge into terror, as the fresh-faced cast was thrust straight from luxury into a slithering, spine-chilling nightmare.

Picture this: YouTuber AngryGinge (real name Morgan Burtwistle) was all grins as he shook hands with rock royalty Jack Osbourne, son of the legendary Ozzy. Joining them were football icon and ex-Lioness Alex Scott, Emmerdale favorite Lisa Riley, and comedy queen Ruby Wax. But their warm introductions were cut short when Ant and Dec herded them into a heart-pounding Bushtucker Trial. Heads locked in cages, the group endured a swarm of snakes wriggling over their faces—talk about a welcome party from hell!
The chaos unfolded at a stunning mansion on Australia’s Gold Coast, complete with a sparkling swimming pool. ITV spared no expense, shelling out around £5,600 to rent the opulent spot for just one day. An eyewitness spilled to The Sun: “This year’s celebs have been thrown in at the deep end—the trial looked absolutely horrendous!” Post-trial, Jack was spotted standing tall and waving triumphantly, while Ant and Dec kept their signature high spirits alive. Ever the football fan, Ant slipped into a Newcastle United top afterward, posing with a photo of himself and even handling a real snake for good measure.

Meanwhile, the other half of the cast kicked off their adventure with an adrenaline-fueled sky-high stunt. Model Kelly Brook, Spandau Ballet legend Martin Kemp, actress Shona McGarty, comedian Eddie Kadi, and rapper Aitch leaped from helicopters, parachuting onto the golden sands of Evans Head in New South Wales. Once their feet hit the ground, pure joy erupted—they dashed around hugging, even breaking into a spontaneous group dance. Spotting Ant and Dec perched like kings in a nearby castle, the stars lined up, waving and beaming ear-to-ear.
An onlooker dished: “When the celebs landed, they all ran around and hugged each other. At one point, they did some kind of strange dance together. They were all smiling and looked really happy—but that will no doubt change once they start having to take part in some grim Bushtucker Trials.” Kelly, 45, rocked a fierce leopard-print jumpsuit for the jump, while she and Martin, 64, must have been battling inner demons—both confess to a crippling fear of heights. From paradise to pure panic, this season’s I’m A Celebrity is already shaping up to be an unforgettable rollercoaster!
