I’m A Celebrity’s Amir Khan recoils in terror as he is forced to face his fear of snakes
The boxer looked petrified as a python was draped over his shoulders during the live Bushtucker Trial
AMIR Khan was seen recoiling in terror as he was forced to face his fear of snakes during I'm A Celebrity's first live Bushtucker Trial.
The boxer looked petrified as a python was draped around his shoulders as as part of a girls vs boys challenge based on Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway.
Last night's show was an I'm A Celeb extravaganza with a completely live Bushtucker Trial, pitting boys against girls - and it was full of the most disgusting tasks.
Amir had to hold a snake as he was pitted against The Saturdays star Vanessa White, who was much calmer than the squeamish boxer.
He almost chickened out of the challenge as he was so scared of the snake.
The pair had to retrieve a gold star from within a box without being attacked by a crab within as the snaked writhed around on their back - and luckily for Amir, he won.
Amir and Jennie McAlpine also had heir heads stuck in a bubble full of bugs, and Iain Lee had to pass animal testicles to Stanley using his mouth - after drinking a pigs' anus milkshake.
The boys started out confidently after choosing Jamie and Dennis as their representatives, while the girls chose Shappi and Rebekah.
Back at camp Ant and Dec greeted the remaining camp mates and explained what was going to happen.
"We are gonna absolutely smash them!" yelled 77-year-old Stanley Johnson, who had finally been cleared for trials after being ruled out on health grounds.
As the games kicked off, comedian Iain used the opportunity of a rare live appearance to make a joke by shouting: "Help they're holding us here with guns we can't leave!"
But soon things got very serious as the first task began, with Amir and Jennie placing their heads in domes filled with bugs.
As the creepy-crawlies explored his face, Amir correctly guessed when a minute had passed which gave the boys their first point.
And worse was to come - as eating trials and huge snakes were then introduced.
Iain and Kezia had to drink a milkshake made of pigs' anus, and thankfully for the lads Iain managed to chug his fastest.
Not only that, but current camp PM Stanley had to eat three dead witchetty grubs faster than Toff, and managed to do so.
Sadly, though, he faced the indignity of having bug juice dripping down his chin, which was pointed out by Ant.
However, the climax of the trial tournament was by far the most revolting - and hilarious - moment of all.
Iain and Stanley had to pass testicles between their mouths and place them in a bowl, with Toff and Jennie doing this for the girls' team.
All this meant that the boys won the tournament, and Dennis and Jamie will get a head start by helicopter in their epic battle against Rebekah and Shappi.
Viewers praised the live section, which went down a storm all round after a nerve-shredding prerecorded trial with Rebekah and Jamie earlier in the show.
I'm A Celeb continues at 9pm on ITV
