SAM SWALLOWS FEARS TO WIN FIRST JUNGLE TRIAL

Sam Fox found herself face to face with some jungle delicacies

Monday November 16,2009

By Laura Holland

IT was a whole new meaning to the words fame-hungry last night when former Page Three model Sam Fox had to keep a water spider in her mouth for 30 seconds.

But she got off lightly compared with past stars of I’m A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here. She didn’t have to eat it.

However, she did have to fight off crabs, eels, Australian insects called yabbies and beach worms in the jungle on the first night of this year’s show.

Celebrity chef Gino D’Acampo also took part in the bush tucker trial alongside Sam, now 43, and he confessed to having had a crush her on during her heyday.

He was treated to a private performance of Fox’s 1986 hit song, Touch Me, after he revealed she was his “sexual inspiration” when he was younger.

Last night the married Italian was forced to fight his fear of spiders when he too had to hold one in his mouth.

And things got worse for the Ready Steady Cook star, 34, when he was encased in a giant see-through helmet full of the creatures. The pair managed to get nine out of a possible 11 stars during the challenges.

Katie Price is set to return to the jungle set tonght, saying: 'I want closure on the fairy tale'

How Clean Is Your House presenter Kim Woodburn was thrilled when she got to sleep in a caravan with legendary Hollywood actor George Hamilton, and it was revealed that Katie Price will definitely be returning to the jungle.

The 31-year-old will join the rest of the camp tonight. She was in I’m A Celeb in 2004, where she met her now ex-husband Peter Andre.

“I’m going back in because it’s an amazing experience and I want closure on the fairy tale,” said the mother of three.

Former EastEnders actress Lucy Benjamin faced her fears as she braved a 12,000ft parachute jump.

Also taking part are ex-Strictly dancer Camilla Dallerup, snooker ace Jimmy White, ex-MisTeeq Sabrina Washington, soap star Stuart Manning and gay interior designer couple, Colin McAllister and Justin Ryan.
