Host Ant McPartlin told the trio: “One at a time you’ve got to walk to the end of your planks.

“When all three of you are in position, on our cue, you’ve got to step onto the yellow ledge at the very end.

“You’ve got to lean forward, using a rope behind you to stop you falling off.”

Meanwhile, Dec Donnelly added: “There are three stars up for grabs here, each one of them is worth a meal for camp tonight.

“You need to remain on the ledge for 60 seconds. When the time’s up, in order to win your star, all you have to do is let go of the rope. Then gravity will take over.”

After testing out the challenge, Babatúndé decided to pull out of the trial leaving Charlene and Jill to try and win stars for camp.

As they took on the scary challenge, viewers spotted Jill’s supportiveness towards Charlene.

She said: “Charlene, you okay? You’re doing amazing. Stay focused. You’re doing so well.”

As Charlene and Jill leant over the building, the sporting star said: “Just keep breathing. You’re doing so good. It’s going to be over in about 10 seconds. Once in a lifetime yeah. Make that memory.”
