Amir Khan bailed out of the first ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here’ Bushtucker trial, leaving his campmates hungry.
The boxer was sent to take part in Critter-cal Rescue with ‘Made In Chelsea’ star Georgia Toffolo but his campmates were left disappointed when they returned back to the base camp with no food.
Whilst they both decided to have a go at the trial, things soon turned sour when Amir attempted to find the stars. He found the yellow prize in a mix of maggots in the first room and again in the second room, which was filled with cockroaches, but when faced with three holes – which had a crocodile, a snake and a mud crab in – Amir met his match.
The sportsman carefully put his hand in the third and final hole when he felt what he thought was the rope the star was attached to. He tugged it carefully, pulling it out to see it was actually a jungle python.
Terrified, Amir crawled away before shouting the infamous line, "I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here", much to the annoyance of Toff, who had endured being covered by cockroaches and maggots whilst locked in and buried underground.
Speaking to hosts Ant and Dec after pulling out, Amir said: "This was my first trial, I thought you’d take it easy on me, I’m scared of snakes … I feel bad for the team because I really wanted to get some meal tickets but I just had to give up, it got so hard."
When they returned to camp and told their fellow campmates what had happened, Toff was less than impressed as Amir spun a story about their ordeal.
Whilst the group had to live on rice and beans for their main meal, they did win some biscuits in the Dingo Dollar challenge. Shappi, Jack and Vanessa also won another meal ticket, which Shappi was awarded, for taking part in the No Lights challenge.
‘I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!’ returns to ITV on Tuesday night (21.11.17), where Amir will take on the next Bushtucker Trial, Flushed Away.
