What are the most memorable tasks on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here?
This week marked the 20th year of us Brits displaying just how truly sadistic we are. As the nation seeks its annual dose of all things creepy, crawly, and animal anatomy-related, it can only mean one thing. Yes, it's the return of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!
For 20 years now, we've watched our favourite Z-listers as they encounter all manner of horrors thrown at them by the seemingly evil, I'm A Celeb creators. With Benjamin Button-esque presenters Ant and Dec fronting the fun at an all-new location, you can be forgiven for thinking that the first series was only yesterday.
Can Gwrych Castle in Wales be a match for the horrors of the jungle, and can Kiosk Cledwyn ever surpass Kiosk Keith? Whatever the outcome, I'm A Celebrity has already left us with a kaleidoscope of unforgettable memories.
Who fancies a snack?
As Bushtucker trials go, the most memorable have got to be those that involve eating. From the squelch of a fish eyeball to the chewiness of a slice of anus, the celebrities have tried it all. With laughing, gagging, and vomiting to boot, the eating trials are firm favourites with any I'm A Celeb fan.
I'm flying!
Not quite a Bushtucker trial, but the traditional baptism of fire for the celebs as they enter camp. Several thousand feet in the air seems the perfect time to overcome your fear of heights and jump out of a plane. That is unless of course you're Gemma Collins, who simply bottled it and refused to go.
We're all doomed
Or at least the celebs are as they enter the Catacombs of Doom! The place where snakes, spiders, and rats abound. What a perfect place to dump an unfortunate celeb as they wonder blindly in the dark in their search for stars. With the need to place their hands into dark, damp places where they know they really shouldn't go, we get to see celebs be, well celebs.
An overnight stay
Let's be honest, we all find the sight of celebs trembling at their knees rather funny. In fact, most of us find it truly hilarious, so to see them sleeping in a box that, as the night goes on, gets fuller and fuller of every bug imaginable caused more than a slight titter. Add rats into the mix and suddenly it's a full-on belly laugh.
What's in a task anyway?
We all know that Bushtucker trials are part of the I'm A Celeb experience, and one that we all savour, but what do they mean to the celebrities themselves? According to this review by Betway, Bushtucker trials mean that a celeb is on their way out as it generally means that they will be targeted before being voted off early.
When the public is voting, logic dictates that they're only going to send the most annoying and most disliked celebrity to face these trials. Who would put their favourite would-be winner through such an ordeal? From the first 19 series we can see that the celeb that is voted by the public to do the most trials will never be the one to be crowned. So as you're getting your yearly fill of Bushtucker trials, be careful who you are voting for!
