ITV I'm A Celebrity fans say 'smashed it' as campmate takes part in 'one of the hardest trials ever'

ITV I'm A Celebrity fans have poured to social media to say how 'proud' they are of one contestant who took part in 'one of the hardest trials ever'

As the show approaches its final week, the campmates now get to nominate themselves to take part in the bushtucker trials as viewers are voting to keep their favourite celebs in camp.

On Sunday's (December 1) episode of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, Barry McGuigan nominated himself to take part. But before the trial, the celebs awoke to torrential flooding after a terrible night of rain in the jungle.

Corrie star Alan Halsall said: “Last night’s weather was honestly biblical, we had rivers flowing through camp, pathways that are now waterways, everyone’s bed was drenched, I mean it was incredible. That was some rain that came down.”

And former boxer Barry McGuigan added: “In my entire 63 years of life, I have never ever seen such rain, never!” Hosts Ant and Dec, who host the TV show each year, have revealed that they have never seen the weather so bad before.

For Sunday's trial, Barry was strapped to a giant spiral wheel, with just one hand free. To win stars he had to throw balls into the hatches around the side of the wheel when they opened, with each ball into a hatch equalling one star.

Once Barry was strapped in, he was joined by some offal, cockroaches and giant mealworms, before he started spinning around. After missing the first one, he got the hang of it and scored an impressive 10 out of a possible 11 stars.

I'm A Celeb viewers have flocked to X, formerly Twitter, to express how proud they are of the former boxer. @SG902110 wrote: "Sooooo
