I'm A Celeb's Scarlette Douglas' family want her to do bushtucker trial for full jungle experience

Friends and family of Scarlette Douglas are voting for her to do a bushtucker trial because they want her to have the full jungle experience.

So far Matt Hancock has dominated the trials and viewer voting, although there are more two player games coming up to give others a chance.

And Scarlette's brother Stuart is keen for his little sister to take on a challenge.

He said: "I would love to see her do a trial. I just think that when she first went in, and she went in the dinghy, if that were me, I'd be like no, I want to jump out of a helicopter or I want to jump out of a plane and I would love to see her do a trial now.

"I was glad that she actually got a chance to go up in a helicopter but if you want to really experience I'm A Celebrity and be in the jungle. I think part of the path, it is a rite of passage is to do a trial.

"There is not much that will faze her but the one thing she does not like is spiders. If she had to do a trial with spiders, she would find that tough.

"But you are out of your comfort zone for any trial. Whatever the trial would be, she will do her best and I think she should be well."

Stuart, 44, admitted he was concerned when Hancock entered the show it could ruin both his sister's experience and the show.

He said: "I was concerned about the nation voting him to do every trial, because for me that would make the show boring. We want to see different characters and personalities do different trials. So my concern was, I don't really want to watch a show where the same person is doing trials over and over."

He said although she was an outsider to be queen of the jungle he hoped people would be warming to her and would keep her in until the final stages.

He said: "Before she went I said to her 'just be yourself'. Be genuine, be authentic and be yourself because whether you're voted out first or you ended up being Queen of the Jungle, you want to do it being you. And from watching the show, that's exactly what she's done.

"She has that infectious personality. And we all love her. And I was like, if the public just sees you for you, that in my mind, that's enough. And if you're able to do that, then you're a winner regardless of what happens.

"I'll be brutally honest, other celebrities in there have a bigger profile than Scarlett so if it was a competition based purely on profile, she's not going to be one of the favourites. But if it's based on what she's doing and how she's been in there, and what I've seen, I think she actually has a great chance. But I may be slightly biased because I'm her brother!"

Former footballer Stuart makes Channel 4 series Worst House On The Street with Scarlette. The pair will be back filming a new series of the show within days of returning to the UK from the Aussie jungle.
