I’m A Celeb’s Oti Mabuse faces her fears as she’s sealed in a bug-filled sarcophagus for latest BushTucker Trial – and Ant SLAPS Dec for brutal response

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! star Oti Mabuse faced her fear of тιԍнт spaces during the latest BushTucker Trial. 

During Tuesday’s instalment of the ITV show, the professional dancer, 34, is chosen by the public to face The Sinister Sarcophagus: The Mummy Returns. 

Ahead of the trial, Oti is greeted by hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, both 49, and they introduce her to the Sarcophagus, a coffin which features a small compartment inside for her to place her head. 

As the rangers reveal the inside of the coffin, Declan mysteriously says: ‘The second time it’s been opened, in 2,000 years.’ 

Upon seeing the small compartment, Oti looks horrified and proceeds to put her face in her hands as Ant says: ‘Okay so you said you’re not great with тιԍнт spaces, as you can see it’s gonna be pretty тιԍнт in there.’ 

He then questions: ‘Do you want to do it?’ and she positively responds with: ‘I want to do it!’

Oti then enters the Sarcophagus and can be seen wearing a pair of protective eye goggles as Ant says: ‘Oti, now you’re in there, how are you feeling?’ 

She admits her nerves, quipping: ‘Very nervous, I’ve got this,’ prompting Ant to reply: ‘The quicker you answer the questions correctly…’ before he is interrupted by Oti laughing as she adds: ‘Dec is smiling right now’ 

The camera then pans to the hosts and Declan can be seen with a big smile on his face attempting to hide his laugh as Ant playfully slaps him on the arm before shouting: ‘Stop smiling man!’ at him.

Declan laughs and jokes: ‘That’s my comforting smile’ as  Ant gives the rangers the go-ahead to start the trial. 

Oti can then be seen holding her breath as creepy critters enter the box from behind her head. 

Oti is reportedly in talks for her own chat show following her impressive stint on I’m a Celebrity. 

TV executives have reportedly approached the professional dancer after being impressed by her warm and emotional conversations in the jungle.

The Dancing on Ice judge, who gained a loyal fanbase during her time on Strictly Come Dancing, earned praise from viewers for her ability to connect with her campmates.

In one poignant moment throughout this year’s series, she spoke with Reverend Richard Coles about the loss of his husband, David.

A source told The Sun: ‘Oti’s a really warm person and people feel at ease in her presence, and that’s why she is able to get them to open up.’

‘She has impressed TV bosses and they’ve been ringing her camp about the possibility of doing a chat show.’

Oti, who previously completed the terrifying Tanks of Torture trial with DJ Melvin Odoom and earned all 12 stars for camp, could also team up with McFly’s Danny Jones, 38, for a new project.

Richard, 62, praised Oti after their jungle heart-to-heart, saying: ‘Oti’s frank, candid, and generous, so you feel like you can be the same in return.’

Speaking in the Bush Telegraph after his chat with Oti, Richard said: ‘I love Oti. We know each other — we did Strictly together. Oti knew David, my late partner.’

‘And it’s a difficult conversation to have sometimes. But I think when someone is frank and candid and open with you, and generous, then be frank and open and candid and generous back.’ 

This wouldn’t be Oti’s first time fronting a show, as she has previously hosted Oti Mabuse’s Breakfast Show on ITV. 

MailOnline has contacted Oti’s representative for comment.
