I’m A Celebrity’s Myles Stephenson hailed a genius for Bushtucker Trial hack that keeps bugs off him

MYLES Stephenson has been hailed a genius for an I'm A Celebrity hack that stops bugs crawling into his armpits.

The 28-year-old Rak-Su singer astonished Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly by appearing at a trial with string tied around the tops of his arms.

He and Jacqueline Jossa tackled the Snake Hotel Bushtucker Trial last night, where he unveiled the remarkable trick.

Dec, 44, quickly spotted the smart hack asking Myles: "What's that on your arms?"

He replied: "I tied them up with string."

An astonished Ant remarked: "So nothing can get up there? Series 19 and it's the first time we've had it. Very clever."

Dec, also 44, added: "Thinking ahead, this guy."

However, as many fans spotted, the smart hack was all for nothing - because producers made him take the T-shirt off and wear the checked shirt of the Outlaws camp.

One tweeted: "Myles walking up to the trial proud of his string idea but they make him change."

Not deterred, he managed to fashion his bandana into a mask to protect him from the snakes.

Another viewer raved: "Myles’ tactics for the trial with his string around his top and the bandana.... i’m impressed."

Jac picked Myles to help her in the Snake Hotel challenge, which saw him put in a box of snakes while she ran around looking for stars.

She succeeded in the final seconds, with him escaping with a snake having invaded his boxer shorts.

As Dec inevitably put it: "That's one vicious trouser snake."
