'I tried despicable I'm A Celebrity 2024 eating trial and made one grave error'

I have been coming to for almost a decade to cover and never failed a ...until now.

After successfully completing many challenges in the past I saw red when it came to eating a bull's penis. The Trials team told me we were guinea pigs for the day trying out a new trial dubbed Davy Jones Cocker.

I had 60 seconds to eat food from the treasure chest and win a star, but if I failed I would be dropped into water below. But it wasn't just any water. It contained 75 kilos of fish guts and I got a kilo thrown over my head for good measure.

But first I could try to avoid that by eating a chunk of boiled bull on a cocktail stick. I made a huge error by nibbling a small piece instead of putting it in my mouth whole as many celebs do. The texture was rubber but then the revolting taste took over. My nose was also picking up on the smell of the fish guts below and I began to retch. I love my job but even I have my limits. I used the sick bucket but only to spit some out and I gamely tried one more bite before I gave up. It had been like eating a car tyre and with no water swallowing seemed impossible.

As I was dropped into the water I thought the celebrities had a lot more guts than me, except at that moment when I had an abundance fish guts stuck on my legs and my shoulders. The trials will come thick and fast this series and they are working on a number of new ones they told me. The good news is I won't be the only one to suffer like this as they have another 600 kilos of fish guts on order. Insects and other creepy crawlies and grim foodstuffs await this year's camp. I was glad to get me out of there before it all starts.

This year's camp will see the likes of , GK Barry and Barry McGuigan take on the trials. Rumours had suggested former WAG Coleen, who is married to ex-Manchester United manager , would be exempt from a number of the tasks in camp. However, she was adamant that wouldn't be the case and was prepared to throw herself into the whole experience.

She said in a video on social media: "I'm looking forward to doing the trials. There's been a lot of news saying that I can't do trials because of certain illnesses and that, but I can confirm I can do every trial. So I am not excluded from any that was just a load of rubbish, and I am, yeah, I'm looking forward to it."
