The spectre of the live I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! live trial is back.
Tonight's (27 November) episode marked the return of the live trial, with all of the campmates fighting for immunity in the drinking trial 'Cocktails of Cruelty'.
So why not celebrate the return of the live trial by revisiting one of the most memorable moments in the show's history?

Which is, of course, the time when Gillian McKeith reacted to the news that she'd been nominated to do the live trial by fainting.
McKeith, who is best known for her controversial TV series You Are What You Eat, participated in the series back in 2010 and had the unfortunate position of being the public's favourite celebrity to nominate when it came to Bushtucker Trials.
I'm sure she would've loved this year's rule change, which means that campmates can't be nominated to more than two trials in a row.
The rule change was likely influenced by cases such as McKetih's, with the 66-year-old's nomination for 'The Un-Fair Ground' being her seventh trial in a row.

By this point, McKetih had clearly had enough with being picked for the task and stumbled reluctantly over to Ant and Dec, who began to explain the trial's rules.
What happened next is, of course, a moment which even the most casual and non-committal views of I'm A Celeb will be familiar with.
Relive the moment below:
After McKeith collapsed on camera, the show cut to a swift ad break while medic Bob issued first aid to the TV personality.
When viewers were brought back to the jungle, it was revealed that McKeith had been withdrawn on medical grounds and former Olympic gold medallist Linford Christie stepped in as a replacement.

McKeith has since addressed the moment and the reactions, explaining that she did not pretend to faint to get out of doing the trial.
"I have a history of fainting since childhood," she said (via The Independent).
"The day before we did the live trial, I hadn’t had much to eat and I wasn’t feeling very well – which is the precursor to passing out."
Going on to claim that she'd even fainted during a wedding, McKeith continued: "They were about to say, ‘Do you take this man to be your husband?’ and I passed out.

"Sometimes you can stop yourself if you get close to the ground but the problem with the jungle is there were all these leeches and so there was no way I was going to throw myself on the ground."
Which is fair enough.
The moment has also been one that McKeith has been unable to live down, with the Eat Yourself Sexy host adding: "I have never been able to forget about my fainting in the jungle!
"I have been reminded about I’m a Celebrity every single day since I came out by taxi drivers and people in the street! They all talk about it as if it were yesterday.
"They say I was entertaining. It might have been for them, but it certainly wasn’t for me!"
