Who else was put into a helicopter in I’m A Celebrity?

Meanwhile, Louise Minchin, Naughty Boy, Snoochie Shy and Danny Miller all meet on the Welsh coast to be greeted by a helicopter as well.

Danny is scared immediately, saying: “The idea of getting in that helicopter terrifies the life out of me. The last thing I want to do is be sick all over the celebrities.”

But that’s nothing compared to what they are flown to: a plank over a quarry.

Ant and Dec arrive to join them shortly afterwards and tell them what will be happening.

“This year is going to be tougher than ever, all the celebrities will face grueling challenges on their way to the castle to win the keys to the Castle,” reveals Ant.

Dec adds: “And you will all face the first challenge, but not as a team. Instead, you will be going head to head. In this first challenge Louise you will face Danny and Naughty Boy you will face Snoochie.”

Dec continues: “The winning team will get to pick which two celebrities from the other group will represent them in the next challenge.”

“The team that wins the keys will have access to main camp in the Castle, where you will get a bed, a warm fire and you will eat tonight,” says Ant.

“Whilst the losers will be banished to the Castle Clink and be on basic rations. Not the place you want to be.”

What happens next?

The contestants have to make their way out over the two planks then whoever taps their green light when it flashes first will win. The other celebrity will be dropped from their plank.

Who will be the quickest to press their green button?

Elsewhere, David, Arlene, Matty and Kadeena are in the Welsh forest battling against each other. They have to lie on the ground and put their hands into hell holes and unlock flares in the quickest time.

What is Richard Madeley’s first trial?

All eight celebrities then meet at the Turrets of Terror trial in front of Gwrych Castle. Ant and Dec reveal the public have been voting for who they’d like to see take part in the first Trial of the series.

Richard Madeley and Frankie Bridge step out as the chosen two.

The winning team so far, gets to choose between Frankie and Richard to represent them.

The Turrets of Terror trial sees two giant keys hanging in the air. The first celebrity to make their way to the top and grab their key will win.

There are three levels to get up before reaching the key and Frankie and Richard have to unlock padlocks to open each gate.

Of course, as it’s a trial, they are joined by critters.

Who will be victorious for their team and get the keys to the castle?
