In the first vote of the season, viewers have selected GK Barry to take part in the next episode’s Vile Volcano challenge.
New episodes of I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! airs on ITV1 and ITVX every night, typically at 9pm.
“Oh my word, there’s a snake!” Danny states the obvious as the animals continue to slither over him. Barry, meanwhile, seems totally unbothered!

Dean had viewers at home in stitches with his choice of words as he landed on the beach fresh from his skydive and selected Coleen Rooney as his partner.
“Wagatha Christie, you’re coming with me!” said the BBC Radio 1 presenter in reference to Rooney’s high-profile case involving Rebekah Vardy.
Wagatha Christie you’re coming with me honestly 🤣🤣🤣🤣 #ImACeleb pic.twitter.com/IkNYJJlPfP

The N-Dubz star is already a survivor in many ways
Forget politicians, Tulisa is the I’m a Celeb contestant who deserves redemption most
The N-Dubz singer and self-proclaimed ‘Female Boss’ has survived a drug sting, sex tape, and the rampant misogyny and classism of 2010s fame. If anyone deserves a shot at rewriting their pop culture narrative, it is Tulisa, writes Annabel Nugent
Happy families!
Everyone seems to be in good spirits at the camp – wonder how long that will last...
Time to break the news...
Fair play to Danny and Barry, who are taking the news that they’ve been chosen for the Mausoleum of Misery very well indeed.
‘Jungle Jane!'
After successfully getting the fire going, Jane has received much adoration and adulation from her fellow campmates.
“I think they think I’m Bear Grylls,” she joked.
The camp looks as if it’s been given a bit of a revamp!
Love the new camp, looks incredible and looks a lot more smaller to! #imaceleb
