I’m A Celebrity viewers were left ‘crying’ over Melvin Odoom and Oti Mabuse’s ‘iconic’ pairing as they both took on the first Dingo Dollar challenge of the ITV series on Monday.

The Radio 1 DJ and Strictly star teamed up in the hope to win a treat from Kiosk Kev during the hilarious Diner Down Under challenge. 

Melvin and Oti had to make 4 perfect orders with ingredients which were placed above their heads in the upside down kitchen. 

The pair had to memorise six ingredients for each order, and ᴀssemble them while rotting items fell on them. Every item they dropped on the floor, they were not allowed to use.

Whilst walking to the Trial clearing, GK was feeling positive after a pep talk from her campmates, telling the camera: ‘The camp have gee’d me up, I’m going in really confident, I feel like the world is my oyster!’

Explaining the Bushtucker Trial, Ant & Dec revealed that deep inside the volcano were a series of caves and tunnels which she had to search in to find hidden stars.

She had just 10 minutes to find all 10 stars, and of course she was joined by plenty of jungle critters.

As the klaxon sounded, GK Barry started her challenge and Ant and Dec were on hand to offer plenty of motivational quotes such as: ‘What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger.’

Faced with snakes, spiders, rats and plenty of creepy crawlies, GK made her way through with plenty of screaming and swearing. So much so, Ant and Dec declared: ‘We’re going to need to bleep a lot of this!’

As GK pᴀssed the spider’s cave, it appeared she had taken a visitor with her as a huge spider appeared on the top of her helmet, much to Ant and Dec’s terror as they watched on.

Completing the Bushtucker Trial, GK managed to collect an impressive 9 out of 10 stars for camp.

Returning to camp and revealing the news, the campmates were elated and started chanting ‘GK! GK! GK!’
