Nerves clearly got the better of Chris Moyles on tonight's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! with DJ campmate only winning one out of possible 11 stars in the latest Bushtucker Trial. In fact, the 48-year-old was so wound up about taking on the challenge that he could be seen with anxious tears in his eyes prior to it starting.
Having learned he’d be taking on today’s 'Boiling Point' task, Moyles confessed, "I just want to disappear." He added that he was still reeling from having only collected three stars in the previous night's effort, which he tackled alongside Boy George and comedian Babatúndé Aléshé.
"As much as all the campmates go, ‘Just try your best - it will be fine, don’t worry about it’, underneath they’re going, ‘Come back with at least more than yesterday'!’" he said. "I'm s***ting myself."

Moyles was tasked with entering the camp's boiler room and retrieving four spanners. Those were to be used to release 11 stars located within the boiler room and its watery underground pipe network.
And it was being in those half-flooded enclosed spaces which did for Moyles in the end, even causing him to snap at hosts Ant and Dec as they tried to offer him advice. "I got it, I know," he yelled at one point, to which Ant laughed, “There’s no need for anger - you’re getting angry with the wrong people here."
"You’re right, I’m really sorry," replied Moyles. And, as the klaxon sounded he emerged with just one star - a second one having fallen out of his bag sometime during the task.
Returning to camp Chris told his fellow contestants, "It's really not good news and I’m really sorry. This is so awkward."
Later, Charlene White in the Bush Telegraph commented: "He’s just crestfallen, you can see in his little face." Meanwhile, Boy George added, "I wanted him to come back with more - I thought it would be good for his self-esteem."
