Iain Lee bags meals for his I’m A Celeb camp mates

Iain Lee managed to bag a meal for each of his ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ camp mates after he aced his bushtucker trial.
The 44-year-old comedian and radio presenter took part in the ‘Space Your Fears’ trial during Tuesday’s (28.11.17) episode of the ITV celebrity reality show, and after facing his fear of heights, he was able to come back to camp victorious.
Prior to completing his trial, his fellow camp mates were unsure if he would be successful, following the disaster he faced during his first trial, when he came back empty handed after breaking down in tears.
Rebekah Vardy said: "I would love to eat tonight, but you know, we’ll see what happens. If he does he does, and if he doesn’t, he’s going to get told off."
Iain himself also wanted to use the trial – which involved searching for stars on a spaceship suspended 100 feet in the air – to prove himself to the rest of the camp.
He said before tackling the challenge: "I’m pleased I’ve been given another opportunity to have another go. To push myself, and test my limits. My best may not be the best that Jamie’s is, or Amir’s is, or anything like that, but I’m going to confront it and give it my best crack."
The task saw Iain have 11 minutes to climb into a makeshift rocket and space station, where he had to search for a total of nine stars amongst drawers filled with creepy crawlies, all whilst hanging 100 feet in the air.
The final star was worth two stars – bringing the total to 11, which marked a meal for each camp mate – and was hanging just out of reach, meaning Iain had to jump from the space station to catch it.
In the end, the talkRADIO host completed the challenge with just two seconds to spare.
Speaking after his trial, he said: "It was great, it was traumatic, I was terrified, I did it. I’m thrilled. I can go back to the group and say ‘Look I know you feel you’ve been carrying me as a bit of dead wood, well I’ve earned my space at the table tonight.’ So I’m very chuffed."
‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ airs daily at 9pm on ITV.
