I'm A Celeb fans horrified as Arlene, 78, forced to sleep on floor in castle jail

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here fans have been left horrified after Dame Arlene Phillips was forced to sleep on the castle jail floor.

The former Strictly Come Dancing judge - who is the oldest contestant ever to appear on the ITV show - was made to sleep on the cold floor of The Clink after her and her fellow celebrities - Naughty Boy, Richard Madeley, David Ginola and Danny Miller.

But fans have been left feeling concerned about Arlene after it was revealed she would be heading to The Clink with her fellow stars.

"OMD Nah bruh. Arlene is SEVENTY EIGHT. I know she knew what she signed up for but come on! Sleeping on the floor? #ImACeleb," one wrote on Twitter.

Another added: "78 years old, making her sleep on the floor and have a cold shower? Is Arlene gunna make it to the end of the series?! #ImACeleb."

"An actual dame sleeping on a cold, dirty, castle floor . Absolutely appalling," a third wrote.

The five celebrities in The Clink looked around their new home reluctantly after losing the first trial.

"Oh my, we are open to the elements, let's hope it doesn't rain," Arlene said, "This is basic. I didn't think it was going to be this bad. I'm about to sleep in probably the single worse bed and place that I have come across in all my 78 years."

The group then headed to look around the rest of The Clink and located the shower.

Danny said: "Test it. It looks like icicles are coming off it," whilst David was disappointed by the fact there were no towels around. The Emmerdale actor also pulled the chain that operated the shower and it fell off in his hand.

"I think he pulled the shower chain and it just came off," Naughty Boy remarked.

Elsewhere, Frankie Bridge, Louise Minchin, Kadeena Cox, Matty Lee and Snoochie Shy were treated a more luxurious experience in the Main Camp and they were most excited to be in the better of the two places.

"I was hoping for a blazing fire when we walked in. I think I've bigged it up in my head haven't," Louise shared.
