The remaining I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! campmates took a battering during the legendary Celebrity Cyclone during Saturday’s episode of the show.<\/p>\n
With just one day to go before Sunday’s series final, This Morning host Josie Gibson, 38, former Made In Chelsea star Sam Thompson, 31, ex boxer Tony Bellew, 41, and former politician Nigel Farage, 59, were drenched with water and pelted with huge rubber balls as they attempted to climb up the slippery slope of the assault course and collect yellow stars to go towards a final feast together.<\/p>\n
The foursome struggled so much to complete the task at one point that show hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly thought the stars may not complete the challenge.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Josie read out a jungle laminate which revealed they\u2019d all be taking part in Celebrity Cyclone.<\/p>\n
Sam jumped into Tony\u2019s arms as he yelled: ‘Yes, yesssssssss!’<\/p>\n

Josie said: ‘It\u2019s Celebrity Cyclone today!’\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sam said: ‘Get your skimpies on, we\u2019re going out. It\u2019s like the most iconic thing in the world. It\u2019s so cool!’<\/p>\n
Picking his superhero name for the challenge Nigel said: ‘My name is Disruptor because I\u2019ve spent my whole life disrupting things.’<\/p>\n
Tony said in camp: ‘I reckon the world is close to coming to an end. I\u2019ve got hot pants on and I\u2019m going to jump on an inflatable toy with Nigel Farage.’<\/p>\n
Commenting on their outfits, Josie said: ‘I don\u2019t know where to look.’<\/p>\n
Sam dubbed himself: ‘I\u2019m Super-Merf.’<\/p>\n
Josie said: ‘And I\u2019m the fastest gunslinger in the west. So, Finger Slinger.’<\/p>\n
Tony revealed his name was: ‘Teddy T.’<\/p>\n

Sam said: ‘Get your skimpies on, we\u2019re going out. It\u2019s like the most iconic thing in the world. It\u2019s so cool!’ (Sam and Josie pictured)<\/p>\n
Arriving at the Cyclone, Sam said: ‘This is the coolest thing I\u2019ve ever seen in my life.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nigel joked of the outfits: ‘Feeling a touch self conscious today, but we\u2019re here\u2026’<\/p>\n
Tony said of his get up: ‘I\u2019m now looking for a property in Australia… I can\u2019t go home.’<\/p>\n
Sow host Ant McPartlin said: ‘You know what the Trial is today, we know what the Trial is today\u2026 what is it Declan?’<\/p>\n
Ant’s co-host Declan Donnelly said: ‘It\u2019s big, it\u2019s wet, it comes round once a year, it\u2019s Celebrity Cyclone!’<\/p>\n
The four celebs were tasked with getting the stars on the four star markers within the 10-minute time limit.<\/p>\n
Dec said: ‘As always, the Cyclone will throw some surprises your way – mostly ball-shaped surprises. So do your best to avoid them, as much as you possibly can.’<\/p>\n
They agreed the order of play as: Nigel, Josie, Sam and Tony.<\/p>\n
As it began Dec shouted: ‘I love it!’<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

They agreed the order of play as: Nigel, Josie, Sam and Tony<\/p>\n
And as Nigel took on the course by crawling up on his knees, Ant said: ‘On his knees, that\u2019s a new one!’<\/p>\n
Josie dropped a star and had to go back for it.<\/p>\n
As time ticked on Dec warned: ‘This could be the one year they don\u2019t finish it!’<\/p>\n
Dec then yelled: ‘I\u2019ve dropped my flag! It\u2019s down there!’<\/p>\n
Once Sam had got to his star marker Tony took to the course yelling: ‘Bring it on. Is that all you\u2019ve got? Bring it on!’<\/p>\n
Fighting off the balls and calling for more, Tony got to the fourth star and the celebrities had completed the challenge.<\/p>\n
Speaking afterwards Sam said: ‘Best thing I\u2019ve ever done in my life.’<\/p>\n
Nigel smiled: ‘Best yet!’<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As time ticked on Declan Donnelly (right) warned: ‘This could be the one year they don\u2019t finish it!’ (Dec pictured with co-host Ant McPartlin, right)<\/p>\n

Now share your opinion<\/p>\n
Tony said: ‘I was down for six and back up ready to fight again.’<\/p>\n
Dec said: ‘Thought we had you on the canvas!’<\/p>\n
Sam added: ‘It was everything I could have dreamed of. It\u2019s made my year.’<\/p>\n
Josie laughed: ‘I lost a star! Couldn\u2019t believe I lost a star. Those jets are so powerful. And the balls, they really hit you really hard.’<\/p>\n
Nigel asked: ‘Can we do it again, please? I loved it. I thought it was absolutely brilliant. I was holding on for dear life. Enormous fun.’<\/p>\n
Tony said: ‘I just love the fight. That felt like a bit of a fight. It\u2019s not about how hard you get hit, it\u2019s about how much you can take and keep on going.’<\/p>\n
Later in the episode, the celebrities were seen facing another challenge as they arrived at Snake Rock.<\/p>\n
Over the jungle tannoy, Kiosk Kev said: ‘G\u2019day celebrities. The public has been asked to put you in order, according to various characteristics.\u00a0One being the most, four being the least.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘All you have to do is put yourselves in the correct order. Get the order right five times and you\u2019ll win those Dingo Dollars.’<\/p>\n
After having to swap their order a few times to get the line-ups just right, they were victorious.<\/p>\n
And completing the task successfully meant they went to Kiosk Kev\u2019s ice-cream van and saw their prize was being whipped up for them.<\/p>\n
