His co-stars are already expecting to hear things go bump in the night inside the haunted castle - but Shane Richie was shocked when the bump he heard was marathon runner Mo.

Talking in the Telegraph, Shane said: “In the middle of the night it was all quiet and all of sudden a ‘whack’, I looked around and Mo wasn’t in his hammock, he was underneath it.”

And instead of getting back in the hammock for the rest of his slumber, Mo decided to sleep on the hard floor underneath the hammock instead.

Talking about his eventful night in the Telegraph, Mo said: “Sleeping in the hammock was a bit different, at some point in the night I must have fallen from it and just hit the ground and went ‘oh well’.”

After sunrise, Shane had an early morning sit down in the courtyard with Vernon Kay and told him about Mo falling out of his hammock.

When Mo later joined Shane and Vernon, they all enjoyed a laugh about it.

In the Telegraph, Mo added: “We have a good vibe to camp this morning, everyone’s happy.”

One viewer said: "Mo falling out of a hammock has been the highlight of the year."
