Joe Swash was assigned the Danger Down Under task, which involved him lying in darkness in a jungle pit filled with bush nasties for up to ten minutes. He was told that he would earn a star for every two minutes spent in the hole, with five stars resulting in a starter meal with a special beverage and treat for the camp.
The former EastEnders actor lasted the duration of the challenge, enduring rats running over his face and eels slithering across his body. Afterwards, he told Ant and Dec that the experience was "horrible", saying: "Kids, stay in school and get an education or you'll end up doing things like this!"
Next up was George Takei, who was given a number of tucker delights to eat. He was presented with five dishes of his favourite food and five containing insects and was told that he would earn a star for every insect plate consumed over its more palatable alternative. The Star Trek actor ate three live cockroaches, two live locusts, a Witchetty grub, a kangaroo penis but passed on a camel's testicle to win three main courses and a special beverage for the finalists.
Finally, Martina Navratilova had to take on the Fill Your Face challenge to gain dessert and extra bonuses for the group. Ant explained the rules: "On the Bush Stage are five containers filled with various creatures and a star. You will be placed in the face helmet and the contents of the containers will be added."
The tennis player had fifty grasshoppers, hundreds of cockroaches, huntsman, orb spiders and two snakes poured into the mask but withstood the experience and won five stars for the group, ensuring that their final meal was the most extravagant possible.
