The campmates on I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! are braced for a truly gruesome all-you-can-eat challenge during Wednesday's episode, as producers ramp up the jungle torment. A newly released teaser trailer offers a stomach-churning glimpse of what awaits the celebrities, with behind-the-scenes footage revealing the creation of a particularly vile 'bug cake'.
A Deceptively Disgusting Dessert
The preview shows a chef applying the final touches to what appears, at first glance, to be a classic and appetising white sponge cake. However, the ingredients list tells a very different and nauseating story. The cake's recipe includes the notoriously foul-smelling Swedish fermented herring, Surströmming, renowned for its pungent odour.
'We're using tofu and mash for the icing,' the chef explains while smothering the baked creation with the unorthodox mixture. She then adds the pièce de résistance: 'And we’re just going to top it up with some bugs and a little bit of sprinkles for that little touch, you know.' The chef admitted the concoction 'smelled bad' and noted that flies had been 'having a party' around it.
Celebrity Reactions and Further Horrors
The culinary professional predicted the celebrities are 'definitely going to vomit' after sampling the bizarre dish, warning, 'There is so, so much food and it's all disgusting... I hope you guys are ready.' Producers have also released preview images showing Neighbours star Rebekah Elmaloglou visibly struggling during the eating trial. The challenge extends beyond the bug cake to include other delicacies such as bull's testicles and so-called 'brain pies'.
Elimination News Rocks the Camp
In a separate dramatic development, Channel Ten has dropped another teaser confirming that the contestants will face a sudden elimination during Wednesday's episode. The shocking news is delivered via the 'bone phone', with a stunned Cyrell announcing it to her fellow campmates.
'No, no it's really bad,' she yells in the preview. The revelation prompts a strong reaction from Matt Zukowski, who expresses his sudden desire to stay: 'Now I don't want to go... I feel like I really want to be here till the end.'
Fallout from a Dramatic Exit
This new tension follows the dramatic and toilet-related exit of singer Deni Hines during Tuesday's episode. Hines declared she desperately needed a proper bathroom facility, blaming the camp's restrictive diet of rice and beans for causing severe constipation and making her unwilling to use the outdoor 'long drop'.
After her demands for a different meal were ignored, she uttered the show's iconic line: 'I'm a celebrity...get me out of here!' Her departure left the camp deflated, though few tried to persuade her to stay. This exit came after a series of camp conflicts, including a harsh clash with comedian Nath Valvo, whom she branded 'lazy as f***', nearly reducing him to tears.
As the celebrities steel themselves for the revolting culinary challenge and the anxiety of a surprise elimination, the jungle continues to test their physical and mental limits in equal measure.
