Designer a disaster in Bushtucker Trial
Drippy designer Scott Henshall today gave one of the worst ever performances in a Bushtucker Trial, on TV show I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here.
Henshall pulled out of the task - which involved him disco dancing while wearing a pair of plastic pants filled with creepy-crawlies - after getting just one star.
"I don't dance and I hate bugs!" he screamed before it began.
To earn the maximum 10 stars, Henshall had to dance continuously to five songs.
But after the first song - accompanied by a cascade of meal worms and crickets down his pants - he could take no more.
As Ant and Dec prepared to play the next song, he cried: "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here!"
"You are joking, aren't you?" said a disbelieving Dec.
"You could have stayed on for longer, couldn't you?" asked Ant. "They were only crickets and earth worms."
But Henshall told them: "No, absolutely not. I know it's pathetic, but I said I'd get one and that's enough."
"I thought before I went in, 'I'll be able to do this', but the songs lasted too long - they went on and on for an eternity.
"I really couldn't have done any more. I know it might sound pathetic, but tough."
On his return to camp he told the other celebrities: "I tried my very best to endure more than what I did but I could only get one.
"I feel mortified. I feel like I have let you all down."
The group ended up sharing one portion of wallaby stew between 10 people.
Meanwhile, a storm is brewing between I'm A Celebrity contestants Jan Leeming and Phina Oruche.
Former newsreader Leeming is fast becoming the least popular person in camp.
Devout Christian Oruche threatened to "knock her block off" after Leeming interrupted a prayer she was saying for Scott Henshall's birthday.
And their relationship hit rock bottom when they spent a record five fruitless hours trying to free the Celebrity Chest.
Their task was to search for three keys, hidden in some hay.
Oruche at first thought they would be hidden in two small hay bales next to the chest - failing to spot the huge hay stack behind her.
"Did you not see that? How did you not see that? Are you blind?" demanded Leeming.
As darkness fell, the pair were still searching for the keys.
"I'm not going back to camp without a key," Oruche said.
"Don't be a petulant child," Leeming snapped back.
In the end they found only two of the keys and failed to secure treats for the group.
Leeming burst into tears, telling the group: "We have been through a haystack looking for three sodding keys. We so wanted to come back with it."
Earlier in the day, Oruche asked Henshall to make a wish for his birthday.
He wished for a man to spend the rest of his life with but Leeming objected, telling the designer he must live in the moment and not make wishes for the future.
A fuming Oruche told Henshall: "She has a nasty attitude. She is moaning about everything.
"I am going to knock her block off. It's your birthday - we can ask for anything in prayer. She's going, 'No, I'm a loser so everyone else is'. I am praying for you and she is complaining."
She branded Leeming's ideas "codswallop".
The stresses of jungle life are taking their toll on Leeming.
"I haven't felt so unwell in years. My bites are killing me. That meal last night was about the most execrable meal I have ever had - it was absolutely horrifying and hideous. I would rather eat elephant dung," she moaned.
And Leeming choked back tears again when she confessed to being in love with a mystery man she split from 11 years ago.
"I'm still in love with somebody," she told Myleene Klass. "When he left I couldn't bear to hear his name and I threw away 12 years of photographs. I couldn't listen to Lionel Richie because he wooed me with 'Truly'.
"It's 11 years now and I have tried to move on. I have a good life and I have friends. I'm not complaining."
Bookmaker Ladbrokes makes Oruche 6/4 favourite to be evicted first.
Ex-EastEnder Dean Gaffney is rumoured to be entering the jungle in the next few days.
