TOWIE’s Gemma Collins is convinced she has Malaria after just her second day in the* I’m A Celebrity* camp because she has diarrhoea.
After waking up in the Celebrity Slammer, she said: “I think I've got it, I've had the worse diarrhoea ever, I'm dying to go but if I sit in that toilet I can't bear the smell of it... but I can't hold it.”
Coronation Street’s Craig Charles chimed in and advised Gemma not to breath in when she used the smelly toilet - or dunny, rather.
Meanwhile* 'Allo 'Allo’s* Vicki Michelle asked Gemma if she felt like she had a bug or was just detoxing.
“No I feel like I've got malaria. My poo is bright fluorescent yellow, we've got to get out of here (the slammer) today.
“I’m f**king p****d off. I want to go. I’m not going to be able to do it.”
Model Nadia attempted to comfort Gemma, telling her there wasn’t much time left, but Gemma moaned back with:
“It’s not though. It’s f**king three weeks. I’m just not enjoying it one bit.
“I just don’t want to do it. It’s too hard. If that makes me a quitter, then that’s who I am.”
The celebrities were then challenged to knit in return for biscuits, however Gemma felt she was “dying” and therefore didn’t have the mental capacity to knit.
She added: “People that murder get treated better than this, and that’s the truth. Even a murderer gets fed three times a day.”
Later Craig managed to console Gemma, by telling her she should be grateful for having three bowls of porridge per day - as it’s a lot more than people get each day in some third world countries. And then he reminded her that she’d probably lose weight, thanks to the fact they’d all be eating less. This cheered Gemma right up. Thank goodness.
Here's our recap of all the action from last night's I'm A Celeb...
...and a gallery of the worst Bushtucker Trials EVER
I'm A Celebrity 2014: The WORST Bushtucker Trials EVER!
1 of 8Dean Gaffney (2006)
Ex-EastEnder Dean Gaffney showed off his impressive ability to yelp like an injured animal in his 2006 trial. To be fair to the man, he did have cockroaches poured on his head, put his hands in a box of biting ants and retrieve a star from a pool of baby crocodiles.
2 of 8Gino D’Acampo (2009)
“I think I’ve got to eat some kind of weird stuff,” commented Gino when he was told he was going to do a Bushtucker Bonanza. Yep, we guess that a fermented egg, a rhino beetle, cockroach, wittchedy grub, mealworms, beach worms and crocodile tongue might be considered ‘weird’.
3 of 8Jennie Bond (2004)
Alone, wet, cold and covered with rats. Not a situation we’d like to get in any time soon, but former Royal correspondent Jennie Bond managed to last a whole 10 minutes locked in a water and rat filled coffin by humming an upbeat tune. We salute you, Ms. Bond.
4 of 8Joey Essex (2013)
Locked in a cold, dark, slimy tomb, we’d be freaking out if we were Joey in his 2013 task. But the TOWIE star powered through and managed to find all twelve hidden stars without uttering a single scream, only stopping to moan ‘This is definitely, 100% not reem,’ and to comment that the rodents were biting his ‘middle parts’.
5 of 8Mark Wright and Freddie Starr (2011)
TOWIE’s Mark and hamster-eating comedian Freddie were an oddly matched pair for the ‘Greasy Spoon Café’ culinary battle, but the resulting Bushtucker trial has to be one of our faves. The couple was challenged to dine on a spoiled egg, blended cockroaches, mealworms and mouse tails, turkey testicles, a camel’s toe and a pigs anus.
6 of 8Martina Navratilova (2008)
Tennis pro Martina impressed us all when she shared a plastic bubble helmet with a variety of jungle critters, including grasshoppers, cockroaches, stick insects, spiders and snakes. While we shuddered and hid behind our hands, Martina took it like a champ.
7 of 8Matt Willis (2006)
Poor Matt Willis proved he’s no wimp when he munched his way to victory in his Bushtucker Bonanza challenge of 2006. The McBusted star dined out on live mealworms, witchetty grubs, a kangaroo anus and a crocodile penis. Mr Willis managed the whole lot without a single retch, commenting after ‘I’ve got kangaroo anus in my teeth. It’s a really good look.’
8 of 8Kim Woodburn (2009)
Kim was submerged in a tank under water, while thousands of cockroaches and other critters were poured on her. As much as we did feel for clean freak Kim, her screeches of "Something’s nipping my bosoms" and "It's bitten my bum!" made this trial a timeless classic.
