Jimmy White wins five stars for camp

Jimmy White had to overcome a personal phobia during his first bushtucker trail.

Assigned to tackle the Scareway To Hell task, the former snooker star was told that the challenge involved climbing along several high beams towards a series of hanging stars. As he negotiated the walkways, he had to smash the stars with a hammer to release the ribbons inside. Each star was worth one meal and there were nine stars in total.

However, the stars were on a timer and would drop to the valley below if he didn't reach them in time. There was also a twist when it came to the final star. Unlike the others, White would not have to smash the star but jump off the platform and grab it.

Before the challenge, hosts Ant and Dec asked the 47-year-old if he has a fear of heights, to which he replied: "A little bit, so if I start screaming you'll know why."

Dressed in tight red Lycra, Ant jested that White looked good in his outfit. He jokingly answered: "I look nice, Justin would like this."

Beginning the trial, he tentatively worked his way around the course and managed to smash the first star, but missed the second. As he struggled to climb the ladder, he just made the third star but was too late for the fourth, which plummeted to the ground below.

White successfully smashed the next three stars but, on reaching the ninth, he jumped and narrowly missed his target. He returned to camp with a total of five stars and five meals for his fellow campmates.
