After managing 23 days in camp, Nigel spoke to Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly about his jungle journey.

During the terrifying trial, Nigel had to remain in the pit for the duration of time and was joined by snakes. 

Ant explained: ‘This is Panic Pit. For every two minutes you stay down there you win a star. Five stars on offer so that’s 10 minutes in total. But of course, you’re not going to be alone down there.’

Dec added: ‘The first three stars are for desserts for camp. The fourth star is for your drink, the fifth star is for your treat.’

As it began, Ant said: ‘You’ve got company now, Nigel.’

Tony and Sam were watching on as Nigel attempted to win them something sweet for dinner. 

Sam said: ‘Oh, it’s a snake!’

Checking in on Nigel half way through his time, Dec asked: ‘Are you OK Nigel?’

Nigel replied: ‘Yeah, fine thanks, having a lovely time.’

Towards the end of the final trial of the series, the lights went out leaving the former UKIP leader in complete darkness. 

After he earned the star for his drink, Nigel said: ‘Bloody lovely.’

Once the time was up Nigel managed to complete the Trial with a full house earning all five stars.

He said: ‘I didn’t flinch!’

Earlier in the ITV show, Sam and Tony took on separate trials to win starters, main courses, drinks and treats. 

Tony took on the first trial of the day, Stakeout, to win the first three starters for their last meal in the jungle. 

Ant explained: ‘This is ‘Stakeout’. You’re going to be strapped down to the giant plate and you must stay on it and endure the jungle critters that will join you on there.

‘For every two minutes you manage to stay on the plate that’s a star up for grabs.’

Dec added: ‘The first three stars you win are for starters for you and your other campmates. The fourth is for your drink of choice tonight and the fifth is for a very special treat for yourself.’

As soon as the trial started, Tony shouted: ‘Why am I picked for this? This is a joke.’

However, he managed to face the critters and earn all the stars. 

Sam took on the second trial, Bonanza, to win the main course for the other celebrities.

Sam took on the second trial, Bonanza, a eating trial where he had to eat witchetty grub, camel toe, pig’s vagina and a camel’s penis

Facing the eating trial, he was presented with five dishes, the first being a witchetty grub which he didn’t even hesitate to eat. 

Next up, Sam had to eat a section of camel’s toe to win Tony’s main course before facing a fish eye and a scorpion.

To earn his drink the radio presenter had to eat a pig’s vagina, Sam said: ‘I don’t think I can do that one…’

To encourage the reality star, the others started singing JLS’s Everybody In Love to try and help Sam through it. 

Completing his final trial of the series, Sam faced a camel’s penis, Nigel encouraged his: ‘Don’t look at it, just do it.’ 

Sam earned all five stars meaning the finalists got to enjoy a three course meal with a drink and a treat for their last night in the jungle.
