Producers of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! have crafted what is being described as the most terrifying and psychologically challenging Bushtucker Trial in the show's history, set to air this week and push the 2025 cohort of celebrities to their absolute limits.
The Nightmare Unfolds: Bugtime Stories
Dubbed 'Bugtime Stories', this harrowing challenge is designed as a night trial, deliberately playing on the campmates' heightened fears in the darkness. A show insider confirmed that this trial is expected to easily eclipse the fear levels of last year's infamous 'Frightbus', which was widely considered the most difficult challenge of the 2024 series.
The source revealed the grim timing of the trial, stating, "This is probably one of the most sickest trials ever, and comes at a time when morale is being tested in camp and when the celebs traditionally start struggling anyway being away from their friends and family." They added that all previous trials will seem like "a walk in the park" by comparison.
How The Trial Works
The trial will see four selected celebrities enter a giant, unsettling replica of a children's bedroom. Their task is to tuck themselves into a massive bed together. Once inside, they must describe a famous book using only four words, all while being given three taboo words they are forbidden from using.
Meanwhile, back at the main camp, the remaining celebrities will be given a baby monitor. They must listen intently throughout the evening and try to decipher the names of the books being described by their beleaguered colleagues.
In classic I'm A Celebrity fashion, the four campmates in the giant bed will not be alone. They will be joined in the dark by a whole host of critters and creepy crawlies, ensuring a constant state of fear and discomfort. The source hinted at the expected reaction, noting that last year's Frightbus was "certainly the noisiest with the amount of screaming," and that bosses anticipate this new trial will generate even more terror.
Angry Ginge's Jungle Success Sparks Bidding War
In related jungle news, The Mirror has also revealed that campmate 'Angry Ginge' is at the centre of a major triple bidding war, and he hasn't even left the jungle yet. The 24-year-old content creator's team have reportedly been "inundated" with lucrative offers.
A source close to the star explained the surge in commercial interest: "Since the moment Ginge stepped foot in the jungle, the commercial interest has gone through the roof. He's been absolutely inundated with offers, far more than anyone predicted."
Brands are reportedly captivated by his authenticity and relatability, qualities highlighted by his background of growing up in a council flat with his mum and sister. The source added that he is being approached for "several major long-term global ambassadorships with household-name retailers" who see him as a unique talent who can connect with audiences that traditional advertising often misses.
