I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! fans begged for answers after Medic Bob was missing from the show on Friday (November 24).
During the latest instalment of the ITV show, the campmates returned to the ‘Scarena’ for another Bush Tucker trial. Grace Dent was nominated by viewers to take part in the Touchdown of Terror trial opposite YouTuber Nella Rose.
Nella, 26, was unable to cope as thousand of critters were poured into her helmet and pulled her emergency cord to promptly end the trial. When the helmet was removed, MasterChef star Grace raised the alarm when she realised a critter had found its way into her ear.
