With just a few days until I’m A Celeb is back, ITV has revealed their brand new first challenge, with the controversial ‘Walk the Plank’ in the bin.
For those living under a rock, ITV's I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! sees celebrities left in a jungle to fend for themselves all the while completing grim challenges to try and earn comforts for their camp, and stay in the show long enough to win.
The show is now a core part of British culture, with a multitude of huge names having appeared on there.
This year’s cohort is no different, with Coleen Rooney, Tulisa, GK Barry, and Danny Jones among the stars forgoing their creature comforts this year to eat bugs and sleep in a tent.

Each year for the last seven, the show has kicked off by having the cast members suspended 314 feet in the air in the Walk the Plank challenge.
This saw them hanging from the Focus building in Brisbane and having to either press a button, grab a flag, or hang over the side.
For all of us scared of heights (the most logical fear if you ask me) it was always a great reminder of the fact that, despite the mountain of money the top stars get for the show, it is still a deeply unpleasant experience.

This year though, they will be firmly on level ground, and instead of being hung off the side of a building, they will be getting some absolutely vile concoctions down their necks.
Contestants entering the villa were made to take on a ‘drinking challenge’ according to OK Magazine.
This was not the kind you may be thinking of, with no beer pong brought out, but instead they will be forced to swig a drink made up of a blended bull’s penis, fish eyes, and a ‘garnish of vomit fruit’.
Appetising.

In addition to this, an opening challenge will reportedly see the camp split into two, with both groups racing to camp.
One team featured Jane Moore, Dean McCullough, Danny Jones, Tulisa, and Oti Mabuse, while the other was made up of remaining contestants Coleen, Alan Halsall, Barry McGuigan, GK Barry, and Melvin Odoom

The show looks set to continue to produce bizarre moments, because who really thought they’d see Wagatha Christie, GK Barry, and Barry McGuigan all having a natter.
Joining the cast is set to be a pair of ‘late additions’ to the camp, in Love Island alum Maura Higgins and radio presenting priest Richard Coles.
