The Aussie jungle has been graced by celebrity campmate Marvin Humes as he takes on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, sharing the camp with the likes of YouTuber Nella Rose and Sam Thompson.
Prior to heading into camp, hosted by Ant and Dec, he told ITV his biggest fears were snakes, rats, heights and of course, the eating challenges.
