I'm A Celebrity All Stars leaves Carol Vorderman screaming in heart-racing first trial

Carol Vorderman is left screaming in her hair-raising first I'm A Celebrity All Stars trial.

The 62-year-old presenter is one of the stars from previous years in the jungle who headed over to camp in South Africa for the pre-recorded new series, to complete for legendary status as ultimate jungle champion. But as ever, the celebs must undergo a series of gruelling challenges if they want to be in with a chance of getting that crown.

A sneak preview shows Carol being thrown in the deep end upon arrival, alongside fellow campmates Amir Khan and Jordan Banjo, as the trio are set a terrifying task by hosts Ant and Dec in order to secure stars and a decent meal in camp. After bravely volunteering to go first, Carol must walk the plank over the edge of a mountain, before jumping off the edge with a staggering 50m drop below her, The Mirror reports.

She is then tasked with finding a numbered code, which she has to remember until she is hoisted back up to the top so she can use it to open a cage containing a star. A teaser clip of the tense moment sees Carol scream as she plummets off the edge of the board and into the abyss below.

The spine-tingling challenge is just one of the trials that lies in store for the celebs, with some of the stars faced with having to cross giant red balls suspended in the air, while others must stick their hands in holes filled with creepy-crawlies to grab their stars. And Carol isn't the only contestant left screaming by her first challenge - in another teaser clip, former royal butler Paul Burrell is seen screeching after encountering a snake.

The new series also sees Coronation Street Star Helen Flanagan, Olympic athlete Fatima Whitbread, ex-England cricketer Phil Tufnell, supermodel Janice Dickinson and music legend Shaun Ryder make their returns to the jungle. And they won't be alone for long, it seems, with some surprise late arrivals teased to be joining them shortly.
