However, Eamonn replied: “No, I’m saying if you had that sort of inquisitive mind, you could look and say, how come one minute he goes from being literally physically sick…”

Ferne added: “Talking from experience from doing the trials, trust me I did a lot of them, I never overcame any fears.

Either that or he’s bluffing us all along… he gets full score, full stars.

“I still hate spiders, snakes. So I get the whole journey.

“But for me doing a trial, and another one, and another one, it never got easier. I kind of know what you’re saying there.
