I’m A Celebrity first look: Ant and Dec laugh as terrified stars fall off Walk The Plank Bushtucker Trial

ANT and Dec were spotted in hysterics in Australia as filming begins on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!

The presenting duo were spotted on the set of the long-running series as the first batch of celebs took part in the opening trial.

The Walk The Plank trial is a fan favourite amongst viewers of the ITV reality show, and has been renamed The Ledge for this year’s series.

The task tests the the celebs to their limits at the start of what will surely be a challenging few weeks in the jungle.

The infamous height test has been absent from the I’m A Celeb screens as the series was forced to relocate to Wales during the pandemic.

But the feared trail has made a glorious comeback for the first series set in Australia after a two-year stint in the UK.

The celebs were strapped into harnesses and suspended from a 32-storey building as conditions were hampered by strong winds.

Lioness Jill Scott, 35, and Newsreader and Loose Women anchor Charlene White, 42, took the terrifying plunge as they were seen suspended in mid-air.

This comes as The Sun revealed Gogglebox star Babatunde Aléshé dramatically pulled out of the vertigo-inducing challenge after a full 45 minutes of deliberation.

As the stars were strapped into their harnesses, onlookers revealed how nervous everyone looked.

But as Charlene and Jill calmly walked out to the tip of the plank – Babatunde was left standing with his head in his hands.

An onlooker said: “Babatunde was really struggling during The Ledge, and everyone felt for him.

“It truly is a terrifying task and no one can grasp the scale of it until you are there.

“Jill and Charlene were being really encouraging of Babatunde but to no avail.

“He stood there thinking and willing himself to do it for almost an hour, but in the end he chose not to do it.

This year, the show has been purposely brought forward to allow room in the schedules for the World Cup later in the month.

As part of this year’s bumper show, the format features new trials and big twists and will see half of the stars abandoned on a desert island before going into camp.

I’m A Celebrity starts this Sunday at 9pm on ITV.
