I’m A Celeb’s Rita Simons squeals as cockroach crawls up her bottom in trial

She and James McVey will take on the trial together

Rita Simons and James McVey team up to take on the next Bushtucker trial on Monday night’s I’m A Celebrity.

The pair will face a movie-themed trial called Stars Of The Silver Scream, in which former EastEnders actress Rita has to answer questions about films while standing in a giant box of popcorn which also contains cockroaches, crickets and mealworms.

For each question she gets correct, she is awarded 20 seconds of time for The Vamps singer James, who has to get stars using only his tongue.

But Rita gets more than she bargained for when a cockroach crawls into her knickers!

In a preview clip for tonight’s trial, Rita is seen breezing through the questions and manages to bag 60 seconds for James.

However, she gets distracted by the creepy crawlies around her.

She exclaims: “Get off me! They’re in my knickers.”

As James is seen moving the star with his tongue, Rita is heard saying: “Get out of my crack! They’re up my bum, I know it.”

Host Holly Willoughby asks her: “Are you alright Rita? Has it gone up your bum?”

Rita squeals: “It’s up my crack,” to which a horrified Holly replies: “Oh God. That’s brave.”

James manages to bag his first star for camp but will he and Rita be able to get each of their campmates a meal?

Last night’s trial left viewers disgusted as X Factor star Fleur East took on Gore Seasons Pizza.

The challenge saw her strapped to a giant pizza while all kinds of nasties, including offal, were thrown over her as she tried to get stars out of a piñata!

After the awful ordeal, Fleur, 31, said: “Disgusting. Thank God there’s no smell-evision, because I stink.”
