Monday night’s episode saw GK Barry become a fan favourite contestant when she successfully took on the “Vile Volcano” Bushtucker trial. Elsewhere, Coleen Rooney dished out juicy details surrounding her infamous “Wagatha Christie” trial, while the rest of the campmates started bonding.
During one emotional campsite chat, boxer Barry McGuigan broke down in tears as he opened up about the loss of his daughter, Danika, while Rooney reflected on the death of her sister, who died when she was 14.
Among this year’s contestants are N-Dubz singer Tulisa Contostavlos, Coronation Street actor Alan Halsall and Strictly Come Dancing pro Oti Mabuse. Others include McFly singer Danny Jones, McGuigan and Rooney, who is the show’s highest-paid star in its history.
Radio DJ Dean McCullough will be facing the Bushtucker trial during Tuesday night’s episode following a public vote.
New episodes of I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! air on ITV1 and ITVX every night at 9pm.
GK Barry takes on the ‘vile volcano’
Since she was voted by the public to take on today’s Bushtucker Trial, GK Barry is given a pep talk by her fellow campmates before heading down to see Ant and Dec.
Explaining the Bushtucker Trial, Ant and Dec reveal that deep inside the volcano are a series of caves and tunnels which she must search in to find hidden stars. She’ll have 10 minutes to find all 10 stars, and as this is a Bushtucker Trial, she will not be alone in there...

Dean gets a fright in the loo
Dean got an awful fright while in the loo – when he realised he was sharing it with a huge spider.
He exclaimed: “It’s massive, oh my god it’s on the move! When people say I’m pooping my pants, I actually am!”
He then ran out of the loo with his trousers down, much to the amusement of Danny and Melvin, who were watching on.
Barry’s bootcamp
You may have heard of the trendy gym Barry’s Bootcamp, but in the jungle, it’s former boxer Barry McGuigan’s bootcamp.
Barry leads a bootcamp session at the Jungle Treehouse, with Melvin and Danny. As he puts them through their paces with a series of press ups, GK Barry watches on.
“That is the most masculine thing I’ve ever seen in my life,” she says.
Danny then practises his boxing with Barry, and is rather excited about it later, when he admits: “Boxing with Barry McGuigan and doing a workout, it’s like we’re in a movie, it’s like a film set! It’s like I’m Karate Kid and he’s my Mr Miyagi.”
Another raucous sound in camp… Danny screaming during a cold jungle shower
Mcfly’s Danny Jones also disrupted the tranquillity of camp with a fierce shriek as he attempted to take a cold temperature shower.
His scream is so loud that the others are wondering if they’ll be able to hack it.
Melvin admitted: “It’s making me quite nervous about mine later on.”
The first morning in camp
It’s the first morning in camp. It’s to be expected that campmates would have heard the sounds of the jungle wildlife during the night, but what was louder turned out to be Melvin Odoom’s snoring, which woke up Oti Mabuse. Whoops!
Aaaand... we’re back
Ant and Dec have kicked off the show with a “Wagatha Christie” gag about Rooney’s famous “It’s.... Rebekah Vardy” line.
Welcome back!
