Friday night’s episode saw Nella, Tony, Nick, Sam and Nigel take part in the Grim Gutter trial, which involved being strapped down inside a giant drain, covered in various creatures, and tasked with unlocking stars.
After Nella was joined by cockroaches, she quickly bowed out of the challenge.
Nigel also failed to collect any stars, but fortunately Tony, Sam and Nick unlocked two each, resulting in six meals for camp.
Later on in the episode, the celebrities had to take part in another challenge called In Your Screams, which saw the stars get into pairs and memorise each other’s screams.
The celebrities then had to correctly identity their partner’s screams in order to win a chosen treat.
While most of the stars emerged victorious, Josie, Marvin and Nella failed to get their reward after their partners lost the challenge.
I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! airs at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
