The stars tackled the HMS Drown Under trial alongside fellow VIPs Scarlette Douglas and Olivia Attwood – who had to leave the jungle shortly afterwards for medical reasons.

Ant said, “As you know, in order to leave this island and enter the camp, you have to participate in the first Bushtucker trial. To feed yourself and your fellow camp mates tonight.’
Dec continued: ‘This is HMS Drown Under. Two of you must work together to find the cranes that are in these infernal holes. You both have to turn on the tap to fill the water pipe. Every time the water reaches a number, it releases a star into the two torpedo tubes behind you, where the other two celebrities will be locked up.”
Ant noted that it was a Bushtucker trial: “There will be a few surprises along the way.”
Chris and Boy George were seen lying in a room, wearing goggles and a helmet, as it began to fill with cold water.
