Christopher Biggins received a rapturous greeting from his teammates when he entered the camp for the first time after the live trial.

The new arrival was delighted to be able to report that he had helped win seven meals for his fellow contestants to enjoy that night.

As they walked towards the camp, Janice shouted: “I have a surprise - another person to meet. Meet Christopher Biggins.”

As the celebrities clapped and cheered, he said: “I tell you, I have suffered for you this morning... We got seven meals for you. It’s so horrible, it’s everything. She’s had to take my clothes. It was vile."

Janice added: “We faced scorpions, spiders, snakes, rats, fish goop and we did it. This man is a star.”

Marc then took Biggins to the shower to help him wash off the remaining slime from the trial.

Talking about his experience, the panto veteran said: “I mean, it was pretty hideous, I didn’t want to come in here empty-handed and in fact I got six and she got one.”

Meanwhile, back in camp, Janice told the others: "I did not want to come here empty-handed… the worst was when I was walking out completely freaked out in a state and there was all these cockroaches fornicating on my fake tits. It was gross, they were having goes. Yep, they’re fake.”
