Strapped into a tight, confined box, she had eight minutes to retrieve four stars using only her mouth while surrounded by rats and insects.<\/p>\n<p>Next, Tom faced \u201cBushtucker Bonanza\u201d, a culinary ordeal. Seated at a huge dining table, he had to consume four bizarre dishes for three main courses and a drink. His first, a fermented duck egg and scorpion, saw him make a show first by ingesting the entire egg. A stunned Ant exclaimed, \u201cOh! We\u2019ve never had that! 25 years and no one\u2019s ever popped it in whole.\u201d He then consumed a camel\u2019s brain, a pig\u2019s vagina, and a huntsman spider, successfully completing the challenge.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Ginge braved \u201cHelmets of Hell\u201d. He encountered mealworms and toads; crickets, cockroaches and lizards; scorpions and snakes; and finally, rats and, to his declared horror, spiders. Ginge triumphed, securing all four stars and winning desserts and a drink for the camp.<\/p>\n<p>That evening, the three celebrities indulged in their lavish meals. Shona opted for a Diet Coke, Ginge a regular Coke, and Tom selected a coupe of champagne to accompany their meal. For starters, Shona chose prawns pil pil, while Ginge went for a double cheeseburger and chips. Tom, meanwhile, began his dining experience with smoked salmon.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-118zqaw-0 ijrISW\">\n<div class=\"sc-118zqaw-10\">\n<div class=\"sc-118zqaw-3 bnPMtb\">\n<div class=\"sc-118zqaw-4 hqeEpq\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/static-assets\/images\/mobile-stores\/Apple_TV_Plus.png\" width=\"112\" height=\"52\" alt=\"Apple TV+ logo\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-118zqaw-5 erkCqL\">\n<p class=\"sc-118zqaw-6 fwMNvw\">Watch Apple TV+ free for 7 day<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-118zqaw-7 euVGoL\">New subscribers only. \u00a39.99\/mo. after free trial.
