TERROR UNDERGROUND
First look as I’m A Celebrity stars face terrifying Bushtucker Trial Tomb of Terror – with largest number of critters EVER
I'M A Celebrity contestants are left screaming in terror as they face one of the worst Bushtucker Trials yet tonight.
Scarlett Moffatt, Sam Quek, Ola Jordan and Jordan Banjo were chosen to face Tomb of Terror in last night's launch show, and they'll be showered with the largest number of critters in the show's history.

A first look at the challenge reveals the four stars screaming and crying as they're joined 120,000 creatures including rats, mealwormsand cockroaches while trapped underground.
Lying next to each other, Ola and Scarlett struggle to open their mouths as creepy crawlies drop on their heads, while Jordan tries his best to distract them.
An unusually serious Ant and Dec helpfully shout out each new creature as they enter the tomb, with all four stars shaking their legs and screeching throughout.
It is their punishment for failing a challenge set before they had even entered the I'm a Celeb jungle.

Jordan, Ola, TV star Carol Vorderman, 55, Emmerdale actor Adam Thomas, 28, and comedian Joel Dommett, 30, were the first to arrive.

Carol chose TV presenter Lisa Snowdon, 44. Jordan bagsed Scarlett, Joel wanted ex-footballer Wayne Bridge, 36, and Adam selected fellow actor Larry Lamb, 69.
Ola went for Rio hockey star Sam.

The pickers were told they would now be known as the City Celebs, while those chosen would be called the Jungle Celebs.
But after the Jungle Celebs arrived to meet the others for the first time, the hosts revealed a cruel twist.
Ant told them that the Jungle Celebs were facing a Bushtucker Trial — and only their new partner could save them.
The City Celebs were told they had to take part in a Walk the Plank challenge. It saw them edge along a 32ft scaffold 334ft up on the roof of a hotel.

The three celebrities who came closest to 60 seconds would save their partner from the first trial.
Ant joked: “I told you she was good with numbers.”
