Good Morning Britain's Ben Shephard has joked that he racked up huge phone bill voting for I'm A Celeb's Kate Garraway to do the first Bush Tucker trial of the series.
The morning TV presenter, 55, took to social media to share his glee that his colleague, 52, was subject to being locked up in a glass box and suspended in the air with 30,000 cockroaches and a number of grubby rats.
Finding humour in the situation, Ben shared on Twitter : "First show - first trial for @kategarraway Great Britain you blooming legends!! #imaceleb2019."
He was then quizzed a social media user:"@benshephard Come on Ben how much did that cost you."
In response, the joker told: "you don’t want to know," alongside a line of crying with laughter emoji faces.
On Monday's episode, Kate and Caitlyn Jenner were the first two stars voted to tackle a grisly trial in a bid to get food for the two camps.
They had to chuck a ball into a bucket below them while are suspended in the air in transparent boxes.
But there was a nasty twist waiting for the celebs as 30,000 cockroaches were poured into the boxes.
In tense scenes, fearful Kate squawked as she came face-to-face with the swarm of bugs in the confined space.
"What's going on? No, no, no no," she said. "Oh God! Oh God!"
Even fearless Caitlyn was left startled by the creepy crawlies.
"Oh boy we've got a lot of friends here," she said.
The pair managed to win four meals between them but in an unexpected twist main camp were able to select one of the ladies to leave Snake Rock and join the luxury main camp.
Kate was selected and she took two of the meals with her, leaving two to be shared between the six celebs slumming it in Snake Rock.
