Take a look at Sam Thompson’s I’m A Celeb highlights:

After landing in Australia, Sam joined former EastEnders star Danielle Harold, First Dates’ Fred Siriex, and food critic Grace Dent on a 32-storey building for a terrifying heights challenge. The celebrities climbed down to a platform, where they had to slide along a pole and push a star to the end of a rope.

After successfully completing the challenge, the celebrities made their way to camp, where they lit the fire and met the rest of this year’s campmates, who had also completed their own trials. After everyone got to know each other and ate their first meal together, Ant and Dec entered the camp to reveal who would be facing the first trial.

The hosts told the camp that the first trial is called Jungle Pizzeria, with former politician Nigel Farage and influencer Nella Rose set to take on the eating challenge.
