For the hundreds of those who\u2019ve appeared on I\u2019m A Celebrity,<\/a> it\u2019s the one thing that always seems to take them by surprise. Many come out saying the sheer noise of the jungle is enough to make the hair on the back of your neck stand up.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s true\u2026.the hum of insects and birdsong is so loud it almost assaults your eardrums. But if any of this year\u2019s contestants happened to arrive early in camp yesterday, they would have heard a very different cry. Mainly a muffled one from me instead.<\/p>\n

I was subjected to a Bushtucker trial during an exclusive tour of the famous jungle which is this week lowering its drawbridge to a new batch of 12 celebrities.<\/p>\n

\"WeWe took a look at the camp that’s soon to become home for the celebrities for three weeks(Image: Publishd)<\/p>\n

Called the Rotten Ringmaster, it involved me, a camel anus, and 60 seconds to eat it. First the rules. Delivered in steely fashion by the show\u2019s trial producer James, there would be no nose-holding, no swallowing whole or – worse – swigging it down with water.<\/p>\n

Sitting on a plank overlooking a pool of suspiciously dark, and foul-smelling water, I was handed the awful-looking specimen which was attached to a cocktail stick.<\/p>\n

But any fleeting pretence of it being a delicious canape soon vanished in one bite. How to describe it? Imagine a rubbery, crunchy, hairy piece of leather. Maybe hardboiled for extra bite.<\/p>\n

\"NoNo one was missing out on the full jungle experience…(Image: Publishd)<\/p>\n

It was horrific, but I would be damned if it beat me. After 45 seconds, I\u2019d forced it down and claimed my star\u2026but was still, obviously, dumped into the brown waters below.<\/p>\n

This year, the eating trials are being spruced up with a variety of brand new dishes on the menu.<\/p>\n

Fellow trial producer Katie is another evil mastermind behind these terrible concoctions.<\/p>\n

\u201cCamel brain is something we\u2019ve never had on the show before, and we\u2019ll see how it goes down with the celebs,\u201d she explains. \u201cIts not so much the taste, it\u2019s the texture that is going to get them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"NotNot sure the celebrities will be this excited…(Image: Publishd)<\/p>\n

The team\u2019s attention to detail is second to none. \u201cWe do so much research into them to find the best of the best,\u201d she says with a (evil) smile. Perhaps that should be the worst of the worst\u2026<\/p>\n

The most-offending delicacies? That\u2019s easy. \u201cWitchetty grubs are pretty rank, you bite them and they explode. Fish eyes are gross, and fermented eggs are pretty brutal as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

And don\u2019t think that pretending to be a vegetarian is going to get you an easier ride.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe veggie options can be much much worse like vomit fruit. For anyone thinking they could be vegetarian or vegan on the show, maybe think again,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Celebrities\u2026you\u2019ve been warned\u2026<\/p>\n
