Reality television personalities Gemma Collins<\/a> and Craig Charles<\/a> are set to face a formidable eating challenge in their inaugural Bushtucker Trial on tonight\u2019s episode of I\u2019m A Celebrity\u2026 Get Me Out Of Here! South Africa<\/em>.<\/a><\/p>\n

A preview of Tuesday\u2019s broadcast reveals the duo tackling the “gut instincts” trial, where they will confront dishes such as fish eye pie and “brain freeze” in a bid to secure points for their respective teams.<\/a><\/p>\n

Collins, 45, who famously exited the 2014 series after just three days due to difficulties adapting to the jungle environment, has declared a “different mindset this time” upon her late arrival to the all-star spin-off. The former The Only Way Is Essex <\/em>star, whose entrance was teased on Monday, views this as her “redemption”.<\/p>\n

She is joined by Red Dwarf <\/em>actor Charles, 61, who also participated in the 2014 series but withdrew prematurely following the death of his brother, Dean. Charles light-heartedly remarked: “I could\u2019ve handled anything 11 years ago. Now, I can hardly tie my shoelaces.”<\/p>\n

Upon meeting their new campmates ahead of the trial, Collins appealed: “Just give me a chance guys, please. I\u2019ve got a different mindset this time, don\u2019t write me off.” She further clarified her intentions: “I\u2019m not here as the GC, I\u2019m not here as the bravado\u2026 I\u2019m here as Gemma Collins<\/a>, so it would be nice for you to get to know her as well.”<\/p>\n

The trial’s mechanics dictate that the contestant who commits to consuming the highest number of servings of a particular dish must then eat it to win a point.<\/p>\n

During the challenge, Charles questioned presenters Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly: “Have you ramped this up because it doesn\u2019t look that bad on the telly?” McPartlin swiftly retorted: “You want to be a legend? You\u2019ve got to go big or go home.”<\/p>\n
