Fatima Whitbread was shocked when a cockroach disappeared up her nasal passage and had to be syringed out by medics, during an I’m A Celebrity task that saw 7,500 cockroaches poured into her helmet.
Pat Sharp and Fatima Whitbread were forced to take part in the latest Bush Tucker Trial after losing the public vote, and took part in the rather ominously named challenge ‘Fill Your Face â Extreme’.
The former Olympian swiftly had 7,500 cockroaches poured into her Perspex helmet, but things went from bad to worse when one of the critters crawled up her nasal passage.
The trial was halted and Fatima set about finding the cockroach, which had now disappeared so far up her nose her attempts to blow it out where in vain.
Eventually a medic was called in to syringe the cockroach out, with it being sluiced through her nasal passage and out through her mouth.
The object of the challenge was to stand in the helmet, which was filled with varying types of creepy crawlies, for 30 seconds in order to amass points.
It was clear something was awry when Fatima suddenly shrieked: ‘I can feel it wriggling in my nose!’
Elsewhere in the jungle Mark Wright and Emily Scott have continued in their flirtations, rolling around together on a bouncy castle.
