I’m A Celeb’s Gillian McKeith reveals secret plan to avoid doing any Bushtucker Trials – and it might just work

I'M A Celebrity star Gillian McKeith has revealed her secret plan to avoid doing any Bushtucker Trials this series.

The nutritionist's fainting spells have become part of I'm A Celeb folklore when she appeared in 2010.

Gillian, 63, hit the deck on a number of occasions as the mere thought of trials overwhelmed her.

This time round with no public vote, they will be competing against each other in a battle to become the first ever I'm A Celebrity Legend.

Gillian has revealed the clever way she has ruled herself out of the trials altogether with the help of her campmates.

Ahead of entering the jungle, the TV star confessed: "Do I think I can win? That's a tough one because the public are not voting, so how am I going to be doing any trials?

"I won't be doing any trials because the campmates will be voting and I can tell you right now that never in a million years are they going to vote for me to do any trials because they're going to think that I'm not going to manage.

"So I'll just be having a nice little holiday swinging in my hammock."

Gillian became infamous for her constant "fainting".

She famously keeled over before a live Bushtucker trial and many fans were convinced she was faking it.

At the time campmate Shaun Ryder said: “If that was real, so are my teeth. We get 12 meals and Gillian gets an Academy Award.”

I'm A Celebrity...South Africa continues tonight at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
