Tonight’s episode of I’m A Celebrity saw Matt and Boy George take part in the first eating trial of the series.

Matt and Boy George arrived at a Mexican-themed cafe to do their trial.

“This is La Cucaracha Cafe. For the first 10 stars, you’ll take it in turns to eat a dish each. Each dish you complete will win you a star. For the 11th and final star you will both have to eat a dish,” Dec explained.

Matt’s first meal was a fish taco.

“I was going to say I like tacos…,” the former Health Secretary said.

Despite the disgusting meal, Matt actually did well to eat it all.

“Very fishy!” Matt said of the meal.

Up next for the Health Secretary was blended mealworms with a witchetty grub garnish.

He had to drink the whole glass and eat the grub garnish.

“That was absolutely disgusting and the texture was horrible!” he then said after finishing the meal.

Matt’s third dish was a camel’s penis. “Just the tip,” Ant said as if that made it any better.

“Oh, marvellous,” Matt said sarcastically.

“It takes like nothing, the texture’s like everything,” Matt then said after finishing it.

“It was soft and crunchy at the same time. The texture was horrible. And the hardest bit was the thought of what it is,” he then continued.
