D'Acampo, Fox swim shark-infested waters

ITV

Gino D'Acampo and Sam Fox swam in shark-infested waters and camped overnight on an island after being chosen for the first I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! challenge.

The eleven celebrities had just met for the first time on a luxury yacht when they were surprised by Ant and Dec arriving on a speedboat.

The hosts told the contestants that they must pick one male and one female to jump off the yacht and swim fully clothed to a nearby island, where they would have to spend the night.

The two participants would also take part in a challenge which would have an effect on the rest of the celebrities.

The group was then told that they had to pick the two campers themselves. How Clean Is Your House? star Kim Woodburn immediately announced that she can't swim, but the group eventually decided to draw straws.

D'Acampo and Fox picked the short straws and jumped into the sea as the rest of the celebrities cheered. Although the pair were both afraid of sharks, they eventually made it to the island where they found two camp beds and instructions that they would face their trial in the morning.

While the other celebrities sailed back to the mainland to stay in their hotel for one more night, Fox entertained D'Acampo with a rendition of her song 'Touch Me (I Want Your Body)'.

I'm A Celebrity starts tonight at 9pm on ITV1.
