Simon Gregson thought he could out smart I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly as he only partially finished a portion of his trial.
The soap star – who is better known as Steve McDonald on the cobbles – thought he’d been let off the hook with not completing his final trial of the series.
However, eagle-eyed Ant McPartlin was swift to point out that he hadn’t quite finished the entire eating challenge.
The actor was asked to chow down on a bowl of fermented gruel to earn himself a three course slap up meal.

Dec said: “Just whack the whole bowl down,” as Simon placed his hands over his face.
Ant joked: “Do it in the style of Oliver from Oliver Twist, that would go down really well,” before adding: “Imagine it’s a big bowl of peppercorn sauce.”
“Ok,” gasped Simon as he took the bowl in both hands and began to drink to awful liquid.

After gulping away for a few seconds, Simon placed the bowl down and showed the dynamic duo his empty mouth.
He’d almost got away with hiding a small amount of the ghastly fermented paste in the bottom of his dish but nothing was getting past Ant.
Stepping in to verify, the host said: “Well done, oh hold on, hold on.

“Please Sir can you have some more?”
Annoyed that he’d been rumbled, Simon chirped back: “Ohhh you,” as he took hold of the wooden item to finish the remainder.
Going in for a second attempt he knocked it back, this time tipping the dish upside down to show he’d completed the task.
Simon was announced runner up on the 2021 series and was beaten to the crown by Emmerdale star Danny Miller who won the public vote.
