They claimed in the latest episode, which ared on Tuesday (26 November), that the team of 2024 after the “screamiest bunch we’ve ever”.
In tonight’s episode of I’m a Celebrity, Maura Higgins and Jane Moore took on the latest trial, “The Fright at the End of the Tunnel”, winning six stars for camp.

The public have decided the person they want to face “Shock Around the Clock” is… TULISA!
She took the news like a champ.
22:13 , Jacob Stolworthy
It’s not Alan, GK Barry, Reverend Richard, Jane, Dean, Coleen, Barry, Danny, Melvin, Oti – meaning it might also be Tulisa.
Who will be doing the next Bushtucker Trial?
22:12 , Jacob Stolworthy
Ant and Dechave just gone into camp to reveal the result of the vote – and, straight off the bat, it might be Maura.

After Maura and Jane’s efforts in the Bushtucker trial, the campmates have been treated to a dinner of mud crabs. And they needed boxer Barry’s help to crack them open! Talk about having to work for your dinner

Oti Mabuse opens up about premature birth
22:00 , Jacob Stolworthy
Oti Mabuse has just opened up to Richard about the scary premature birth of her baby, who was placed in an incubator after birth.
A tearful Richard has his own story for Oti, telling her about her he once baptised a very premature boy who has grown up to be a healthy young footballer.
Six stars!
21:48 , Jacob Stolworthy
They won six out of 12 stars, which sounds bad but, I gotta say, that was a good attempt. Ant and Dec agree, telling them: “That was a very, very tough Trial, so I think you did remarkably, the pair of you. You should both be very proud.”
21:44 , Jacob Stolworthy
Maura is properly facing her fears, fair play to her. She seems genuinely terrified of these spiders!
21:42 , Jacob Stolworthy
Eeeeek, Maura is joined in the tunnels by toads, lizards and spiders – the birthday treats continue! And poor Jane – she can’t see anything because her goggles keep steaming up!
21:35 , Jacob Stolworthy
Anyway, this Trial is called “Fright At The End of The Tunnel”. There are two tunnels: one above ground, and one below ground. The celebrity above ground needs to find the secret code words hidden in their tunnel, reading them out to the celebrity below ground who will be underwater and will need to use the code words to unlock the stars.
Maura’s going above, and Jane is going below.
21:33 , Jacob Stolworthy
Ant just made a bold claim about this year’s contestants. “You’re the screamiest bucnh of celebrities we’ve ever had on this show,” he says.
21:30 , Jacob Stolworthy
But now it’s time for today’s Bushtucker Trial!
It’s the turn of Maura and Jane. Huge cheers for Dean getting a day off (from us all).
21:29 , Jacob Stolworthy
Tomorrow’s trial will be called Shock Around the Clock. You can vote for which star you want to take part for the next 25 minutes.
Where’s Barry?
21:28 , Jacob Stolworthy
I’m a Celebrity very briefly turned into a mystery with a confused Barry getting totally lost in the jungle while helping Tulisa carry pots and pans to the creek.
I’ll be more honest: I think this is as nailbiting as the episode’s gonna get.
21:27 , Jacob Stolworthy
It’s good to see Melvin Odoom getting some screen time this evening! He’s been a bit absent these past few episodes.
21:24 , Jacob Stolworthy
Viewers are loving the campmates singing McFly’s “Shine a Light” to each other.
Celebs sing McFly around the campfire
21:20 , Jacob Stolworthy
McFly’s Danny performing their hit song “Shine a Light” – and then being completely upstaged by Barry McGuigan who, it turns out, has a set of pipes on him! In the words of Reverend Richard Coles: “Revelation of the evening, Barry McGuigan can sing like a canary, it was lovely.”
Maura’s woes continue
21:18 , Jacob Stolworthy
Who in the universe did Maura annoy? While other people’s items had surprise chocolates and sweets hidden amongst them. Maura was given… an apple. “What did I do to deserve this?” she rightly asks.
A surprise for Oti
21:16 , Jacob Stolworthy
Imagine enduring a bus ride accompanied by a load of cockroaches and then you get back to camp and find a frog standing on your bag.
An experience like that is exactly what Oti signed up for, in fairness.
21:12 , Jacob Stolworthy
Danny, perhaps desperate to create a melody for “Roaches In My Pants”, claimed a guitar case as his chosen item of choice. We’re hoping the guitar is inside…
21:10 , Jacob Stolworthy
We have a new song written by McFly’s very own Danny Jones. It’s called “Roaches In My Pants” and you can guess what it’s inspired by. We’re sure if anyone could make it a number one hit, it’s Danny.
21:08 , Jacob Stolworthy
First up on the Fright Bus, it’s GK, Jane and Oti. They have to work together to move three red tokens along a bar in front of them – and they succeed!
Still, GK isn’t impressed, calling it the “worst busy journey I’ve ever been on in my entire life”. And we’re assuming she’s been on a few night busses in her time.
Birthday girl Maura is not happy
21:08 , Jacob Stolworthy
“This is the worst birthday I’ve ever had!” she says as her terrified campmates serenade her with a rendition of “Happy Birthday”.
The wheels on the Fright bus go round and round
21:07 , Jacob Stolworthy
So, we’re keeping on with the Fright Bus. The longer the celebs stay on, the more luggage items they win for camp – but of course they’re joined by mealworms, spiders and cockroaches.
21:06 , Jacob Stolworthy
So the campmates have faced their “most terrifying day” yet, according to Ant and Dec. Here we go…

Jane Moore accuses Barry McGuigan of ageism and misogyny
19:30 , Jacob Stolworthy
The latest series of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! has undergone another shake-up as a public vote shifted control of the camp to contestants Danny Jones and Barry McGuigan.
The changes appear to have stirred up resentment in the camp, with Moore having specifically requested not to do the cleaning. In the episode, Jones claimed that he had been told the opposite by the Loose Women panellist herself.

‘I’m a Celebrity’ fans dumbstruck by GK Barry and Richard Coles’s risqué chat
18:30 , Jacob Stolworthy
I’m a Celebrity fans were left shocked by a risqué chat between content creator GK Barry and Reverend Richard Coles on Monday night’s show (25 November).
After a heart-to-heart about Coles’s experience of being a gay vicar, Barry – who earlier in the series opened up about her sexuality and coming out – talked about how she used to be religious. She recalled going to a religious camp when she was younger, where there were men telling her not to have sex before she was married.
She said that even at 13, she thought: “Well, that’s not gonna happen. I see my future and it involves scissoring.”
Coles, 62, then asked Barry, 25, what scissoring is. She chose not to explain it to him in detail, but did tell him it was something that lesbians do. He then started making jokes about the “sizzling scissoring sisterhood”, and the pair collapsed into giggles.
Viewers were taken aback, to say the least. “Talking about scissoring with a reverend. I’m a Celeb is not real,” wrote one fan on X/Twitter

During a segment on Sunday’s (24 November) episode, Higgins told fellow campmates Jane Moore, the Loose Women panellist, and McFly singer Danny Jones, about taking revenge on her former partner.
Speaking about the build-up to her participation on Love Island, she recalled: “So I had a boyfriend at the time.”
While she was initially unsure whether to agree to go on the hit dating series, she one day decided to look through her boyfriend’s phone – only to learn of her partner’s indiscretions.
