I’m A Celebrity 2024 LIVE – Terrified as I’m A Celeb star screams as snake slides into his shorts during first test

Early predictions

It seems like a huge snake in your pants can do wonders for your popularity.

Danny Jones is already tipped to win this year’s I’m A Celebrity after his impressive success in the Mausoleum Of Misery Bushtucker Trial.

He managed to win five stars for the camp, all while having a huge ball python scurrying around in his shorts.

“Honestly Danny is my winner! I love him!” one fan flocked to X.

Next

GK Barry – real name Grace – has been voted into the next Bushtucker Trial.

She will take on Vile Volcano tomorrow night after receiving the most votes from the public.

Considering the huge shout-fest during the campmates’ first big challenge, it’s no surprise she was chosen…

Not for Col

Coleen Rooney has confessed she didn’t like her husband Wayne when they first met.

When asked if it was love at first sight, she admitted: “No, it was for him, but not for me!”

Coleen and Wayne were just teenagers when they started dating.

She also spilled the tea on their first date: a hug behind the church before heading to the cinema.

Bless.

Danny trouser snake

That was UNreal! How on earth could Danny keep his cool with such a big snake in his shorts?!

He has compared “the shakes” it gave him to the first time he ever performed at a gig.

Surely THAT was worse than a song? Ees.

Cool as a cucumber

Barry is as cool as ice in that room.

15 snakes. Fifteen! Yet there he lies as if in a comfortable queen-sized bed in his local Premier Inn.

Is it because he’s a boxer? Or because he doesn’t have a snake in his shorts like poor Danny?!

Difficult start

I feel like the I’m A Celeb team really raised the bar this year.

The line-up is wild and the trials so far are even wilder!

We’ve drank disgusting drinks, parachuted, sunk canoes and now graves full of huge snakes. And the first episode isn’t even over yet.

Bravo!

Snakes live!

Danny made a huge schoolboy mistake within minutes of starting his I’m A Celebrity journey.

The McFly star revealed he is afraid of snakes after previously being bitten by one.

And here we are; Danny is now trapped in a tomb where snakes slither over him. And they’re not exactly small either.

*SHAKES HEAD*

First Bushtucker Trial

Danny seems to be fully on board for this Bushtucker Trial.

Barry…not so much!

The Mausoleum Of Misery is giving I’m A Celeb lockdown vibes.

Did they fly part of the Welsh castle for this?!

No defects

Tulisa arrived at camp with PERFECT makeup.

Grace cried out all her mascara while rummaging through a box of bugs, but Tulisa’s is completely intact.

It must have been applied with a Sharpie. How does she look so good?!

Fire starter

Grace, does it for women everywhere.

“We need a man,” she declared, when there was talk of lighting the campfire.

Come on, Oti. Show her how it’s done!

Life in the camp

Ah, the camp. It’s such a familiar scene!

It’s so nice to have it back on our screens, with the red phone booth and all.

It really wasn’t the same that they took the show to that castle in Wales!

Leaders of the camp

Tulisa and Alan are the heads of the camp.

They get luxurious living space (sort of) and get to call all the shots.

They are now on their way to tell Barry and Danny that they will be taking on the first Bushtucker Trial of the series. Good thing, too!

Patient Jane

Jane is incredibly patient with her Loose Women colleague.

I’m surprised Grace hasn’t really lost her voice, considering all that screaming.

And poor Coleen and Dean. They really have sunk!

Dirty tactics from Barry and Danny…but all’s fair in jungle warfare!

Scream party

It’s fair to say that Grace – aka GK Barry – is NOT a fan of creepy crawlies.

She actually screamed all her mascara off!

Meanwhile, Coleen is as hard as nails. Honestly, she has four sons and probably found a small animal in their school pockets.

Wagatha bomb

We have to admire Dean’s ability to mention Wagatha Christie within seconds of meeting Coleen Rooney.

Fresh from a near-spit and sky-dive on the beach, he grabbed Coleen and screamed: “Melvin, I’m so sorry! Wagatha Christie, you’re coming with me!”

I think I’m going to like this guy.

What’s next

So far, the newest crop of celebrities has had it EASY.

There must be something evil in store for them too, right?

Poor Melvin and Oti don’t have a car. No car AND leather loafers in the jungle.

Things would never end well for those two.

Naturally

You may or may not have noticed Jane was completely blown off course during her skydive.

Jane even ended up 400 meters in the wrong direction.

Just a little while back to meet her new campmates! The signs are not good for her to become a camp leader…

Ready for it

Danny Jones couldn’t have been more excited for his skydive!

As Dean tried not to vomit in the helicopter behind him, Danny grinned from ear to ear and shouted “Yeahhhhh!”

He had the time of his life, McFly up there!!

Workmates

The skydiving celebrities must choose a partner on the ground to continue with.

Fans are already convinced that they have worked out one of the combinations.

The loose ladies!

One viewer wrote on X: “Jane is probably going to pick GK Barry, they work together!”

Test times

If the other group’s first task is anything to go by, these celebrities are in for a rude awakening.

Can there be anything worse than throwing up fruit smoothies followed by a skydive?

I think it’s fair to say that Melvin will have to ditch the footwear. Those loafers won’t get him far and time is of the essence!

Dress code

This bunch of celebrities clearly didn’t expect to be dropped off on the beach.

How do I know this? Just look at their shoes….

What does she bring?

GK Barry isn’t sure what she’s bringing to camp.

Barry McGuigan has no idea who she is, she has no idea who he is.

Despite this, they seem to be getting along well…

Too many

Fans think this is all a serious recipe for disaster.

Vomit fruit and animal innards in a smoothie before jumping out of a helicopter.

We all know where this is going. And it won’t be pretty!

Bad start

Wowzers. One of the worst challenges in a row!

Surely there will be a lot of early door spitting?

And then to get into a helicopter and jump out. This. Is. Cheeky.

Oh no, Danny!

Danny Jones has revealed he is not a fan of snakes. Apparently he was bitten by someone once.

Has he seen this show before?

Of course you never admit that you are afraid. Like you know what’s coming!
