I'm A Celeb's Ant and Dec make trial blunder as Simon hunts for stars on ITV show

I'm A Celebrity hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly made a blunder in tonight's trial.

The pair were hosting the ITV show on Wednesday night, where Coronation Street star Simon and Emmerdale actor Danny Miller took on the festive-themed Santa's Grotty Grotto trial.

However, the presenting duo made an error as they hosted the trial - leaving Simon desperately searching for a non-existent star.

Danny decided to nominate himself for tonight’s trial, whilst Simon's name was picked out of a hat in the camp, and they headed over to the trial area to meet Ant and Dec for the festive extravaganza.

"What have you asked Santa for?" they asked, and Danny replied: "Anything that doesn’t involve what I can already see in the boxes."

Dec revealed to them: "Santa Cledwyn has been very busy with his naughty little elves, putting together a Trial for you," with the pair having to do four different rounds with two stars up for grabs in both cases.

As part of the first round, the pair were given two sacks - one with rotten vegetables in and another with fermented eggnog - as they hunted for the stars on offer. The catch was that they could only retrieve the stars using their mouths.

Simon found his star pretty quickly and spat it out on the floor, but he continued to look for the star.

Ant and Dec told him to stop looking, as they burst into fits of laughter, but he kept searching. They told him that they didn't know he had got the star and asked why he didn't tell them. To which he hilariously yelled: "You’ve got cameras!"

Dec laughed back, joking: "You never said, 'I’ve got the star.'"

In the next part of the trial, the pair had to put their heads inside a box with rainbow crabs and another with whip scorpions and giant stick insects and had to use their tongues to remove the star from the thread.

Simon went first, as Dec joked: "He's so hot he’s steaming up the windows."

Their next task was to decorate Cledwyn’s Christmas tree, with all the decorations hid inside glass boxes that were being guarded by snakes. "If Cledwyn likes it, you’ll get 2 thumbs up and 2 stars," the hosts told them.

Their last challenge was to drain the juice from the raw fish eyes - which were hidden inside mince pies - and collect it in a sherry glass and then drink the glass in order to win a star each.

Danny confessed to feeling "queasy" after the trial, as Simon said: "Never again. Never again," but the pair did manage to win a total of seven out of the eight stars on offer.
