People Are Loving Harry Redknapp's Prince Harry Story On 'I'm A Celebrity'

I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! returned to our TV screens for its 18th season on Sunday, and it already seems like Harry Redknapp's tales could become a recurring highlight of the show.

In the second episode, the 71-year-old had Malique, Sair, Nick and John (and countless more viewers at home) in stitches as he regaled them with a tale about the time he met Prince Harry. I say met, the former Tottenham manager didn't recognise him, replying to his greeting with 'alright mate', before continuing to read his newspaper... Safe to say it tickled viewers.

Emily Atack also took on the first Bushtucker Trial of the series, getting up close and personal with lots of slithery types. The Inbetweeners actress was shocked the public had voted for her to face the trial at 'The Viper Pit'. The challenge involved finding five stars in three chambers of the pit, before moving on to a fourth and final chamber, where she could earn a star for every minute she remained in the chamber.

Dec explained that the first five stars would feed the celebrities at Croc Creek, while the sixth would supply her grub and mean she joins the Croc Creek camp. The remaining four would go towards her campmates at Snake Rock.

Of course, the chambers of 'The Viper Pit' were not empty, as you could probably guess. Emily found this out the hard way after claiming her first star and moving on to the second chamber. Two jungle python snakes lurked inside and one of them seemed to have an eye for Emily, lunging for her hand.

"Oh my god, he just went for her... I've never seen anything like it in my life," gasped an onlooking Holly Willoughby - unsurprisingly considering it was the first time she has witnessed a Bushtucker Trial.

Unperturbed, Emily went for the star once more, but the snake went for her again, before Dec and Holly ushered her on to another chamber. Remarkably though, she managed to come away with nine out of ten stars, surprising even herself.

"I can't believe I did it, it smells of poo in there," she said.

Meanwhile, in Snake Rock, Anne Hegerty and Rita Simons talked about living with autism and OCD, respectively.

Rita said: "I'm not too bad with cleanliness and all of that.

"I don't do any of the rituals any more. I used to be a real light switcher, tap checker, I'd spend hours doing it. It's almost the complete opposite of you because yours is all logical and mine is all illogical."

Reflecting on their chat, Anne said: "I didn't raise the autism issue... but if someone else raises it, I make it quite clear that I'm happy to talk about it.

"I really appreciate how nice and sympathetic they've been to me and how supportive they are and it was nice that they said I actually pick up on social cues because I'm never quite sure that I actually do so that was nice to know."

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! returns at 9pm tomorrow on ITV.
