The show's trials boss spilt the beans on the creepy crawlies in store for the celebs.

Matt 'Wilko' Wilkinson said: "We have got the biggest trial ever full stop.

"I can say that all the contestants will be present but not in one capacity.

"It is the biggest thing we have ever constructed.

"There is going to be a trial with the most ever bugs in it.

"We have got 160,000 bugs in one trial.

"We have also got the trial with the most snakes ever, over 50 and it is a one person trial.

"We have the biggest underwater trial with the biggest ever underwater construction."

He added: "It is very impressive."

Sadly new host Holly Willoughby, who is terrified of creepy crawlies, has ruled out doing an honorary trial herself.

Wilko said: "Judging by how Holly has been on site I don't think she will do one but who knows.

"She has been brilliant in the dry runs because she has watched the show for 17 years

"And now she is here being Holly Wiloughby. It is different, but it has been fantastic."

The news of the wildest Bushtucker trials yet comes as it emerged that bosses are facing a crisis after signing up three vegans.

Fleur East, James McVey and Sair Khan have all sworn off eating any animal products.

It means ITV bosses could have trouble persuading some of those contestants to take part in the Bushtucker Trials.

Participants are asked to chow down some seriously gruesome jungle grub, from kangaroo and bull testicles to witchety grubs and ants.

Last year's grisly tasks included the particularly stomach-churning challenge in which Stanley Johnson had to pass bull testicles with his teeth.

Previous tasks have included Ferne McCann having to eat bull penis and Jimmy Bullard scoffing a bowl full of animal testicles.

The stars are all going into the jungle next weekend as the show returns on ITV on Sunday night.
