Watch the stomach-churning moment I’m A Celeb’s Dean, Alan and Danny plunge their FACES into fish guts for trial
I’M A Celeb’s Dean McCollough, Alan Halsall and Danny Jones are forced to plunge their FACES into fish guts for tonight’s trial.
The trio will go up against each other to take on The Rank Bank as the rest of their campmates look on.
Host Ant McPartlin tells them: “In this race, you have to race to remove three coins out of the trays in front of you using only your mouth.
“Coins have to then be deposited in your teams deposit box.
“The coins aren’t on their own, they are buried in this…”
The boys were then shown what they have to dip their head into and all shout: “No!”
A cheeky Ant asks Dean – who said “I’m a celebrity” after fish guts was put on him – “what is it?”
A scared Dean replies: “It’s fish guts.”
Ant tells them: “You’ve got three minutes to compete this.”
“No I’m not ready,” Dean shouts.
After the klaxon they all put their head into the box.
Alan is the first to get a coin into the box.
But then McFly star Danny isn’t far behind him.
Then seconds later Dean also finds his and puts it in the box.
BBC Radio 1 DJ Dean has taken part in his fair share of trials.
During his third trial, Lethal Lab, he had to release the stars with his tongue while being occupied with various creepy crawlies.
He managed to do it successfully with cock roaches and spiders, but as soon as fish guts touched his new he shouted the dreaded words.
Ant looked flabbergasted and said: “Do you know if you let us tell you what was coming in, you wouldn’t have freaked out?”
Dean replied: “No, I wouldn’t have freaked out. Can we do it again?”
Ant said: “We can’t I’m afraid. Once you call it, that’s it. Trial over.
“Why did you call it on fish guts?”
Nervy Dean responded: “I could feel something heavy and smelly on the back of my neck.”
“You’re standing there giving it the biggun, but fish guts? Your wee shackets would be ruined.”
Ant replied: “They would, and I like this shacket.”
