I'm A Celebrity's first skin-scrawling Bushtucker Trial sees Caitlyn Jenner and Kate Garraway battle bugs in airlifted crates

The first Bushtucker Trial of the 2019 series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! gets underway in skin-crawling fashion, with Caitlyn Jenner and Kate Garraway locked in crates and covered with 30,000 cockroaches.

The American TV star and the UK presenter find themselves suspended high above a river Down Under and tasked with having to drop balls from a great height into a passing receptacle below during the task, which will be broadcast on Monday, November 18.

And that would be difficult enough, without the two also having to share their enclosed space with legions of creepy crawlies.

But it's Keeping Up with the Kardashians' Jenner who copes best, keeping her cool as the insect interlopers swarm all over her.

"Oh boy, we've got a lot of friends in here," she says, while Garraway freaks out at the sudden infestation, screaming, "Oh God, no, no!"

So, given that the pair an attempting to win food for their camp mates, it looks as though a number of famous faces could be going hungry tonight.                  

Among the well-known line-up are former footballer Ian Wright, Girls Aloud's Nadine Coyle, X Factor winner Myles Stephenson, stand-up comic Andrew Maxwell, ex-EastEnder Jacqueline Jossa, breakfast DJs Roman Kemp and Adele Roberts and retired rugby player James Haskell.       

The launch of the latest series on Sunday, November 17 marked the first time presenters Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly have been in the jungle together since 2017.

Last year, Dec was forced to team up with Holly Willoughby to present the popular series after Ant took time away to deal with a drink and prescription-drugs addiction.

Nevertheless, he made his return to the Aussie jungle in a rather casual fashion, opening the  show by acknowledging: "We're back, I'm back, he's back, we're all back."
