A Hilarious Start to the I’m A Celebrity All Stars Challenge
The latest season of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! All Stars has already delivered some unforgettable moments, with one particular challenge leaving fans in stitches. The spin-off series, which takes place in the Kruger National Park in South Africa, brings back familiar faces from previous seasons for a new round of challenges and competition.
One of the most amusing scenes came during the launch episode when Emmerdale actor Adam Thomas struggled with a puzzle during a bungee jump challenge. As the team captain, Adam was paired with Beverley Callard for the first challenge called “Tipped Over the Edge.” The task involved collecting puzzle pieces from the cliff’s ledge while strapped back to back.
However, the real difficulty wasn’t the platform itself, which tilted dramatically as they approached the edge. Instead, it was the puzzle that proved to be the real obstacle for Adam. While he and Beverley managed to collect all the pieces in just eight minutes, the pair lost the challenge to Ashley Roberts and Mo Farah because Adam took an astonishing 10 minutes to complete the puzzle.
Viewers were left laughing at the scene, with many taking to social media to express their amusement. Comments included: “Me telling my grandkids about the time I watched Adam Thomas completing a star puzzle on #ImACeleb,” “10 minutes to do the puzzle, we love you Adam,” and “Adam needs a 1 piece puzzle next time.” Some even joked that Adam should have been given an easier task, with one fan writing, “Adam Thomas not being able to do the puzzle threw me ngl.”
Other Highlights from the Episode
After the puzzle challenge, Scarlett Moffatt and David Haye made their entrance into the camp for the Unlucky Lodges challenge. The task required them to search for keys in a lodge. As Scarlett ran off from her starting point, she narrowly avoided getting soaked by green slime. However, she wasn’t so lucky when she looked inside a fridge and got drenched in brown liquid instead.
“What are you throwing at me man? I’ve just washed my hair!” she exclaimed, clearly unimpressed.
Later in the episode, Seann Walsh and Sinitta joined the group for the Level Up challenge, where they had to grab stars 140 feet above the ground. Clearly terrified of heights, Seann muttered to himself, “Oh God.” Sinitta, meanwhile, fell to the ground after landing on one of the steps, prompting Dec to gasp, “Sinitta is down!”
Seann then began to wobble and admitted, “I don’t know how I am going to do this.” A fellow campmate encouraged him from the ground, saying, “Get up, up you get. You’re good.”
A New Twist and More Celebrities Join
To add to the drama, a brutal twist meant that one member from each losing team was banished to the basic camp, Savannah Scrub. This added an extra layer of tension to the competition.
At the end of the episode, the celebrities were stunned when two more stars arrived at camp. Gemma Collins, known for her time in Essex, said, “This is a far cry from Essex, I’m ready for you.” Meanwhile, Craig Charles, who had previously taken part in the original series, expressed his surprise at being back after 11 years, saying, “I can’t believe I’m back after 11 years.”
