Carol Vorderman in tears over quitting I'm a Celebrity water trial after fearing 'buoyant bottom' would ruin her chances

Carol Vorderman reckoned her ‘buoyant' bum could ruin her chances of success in an I’m A Celebrity trial, and she was later in tears after calling time on the watery task. The former Countdown presenter was sobbing as she stepped up to a tough challenge with former Olympic javelin thrower Fatima Whitbread.

Carol, 62, is one of the stars taking part in a South Africa spin-off version of I'm A Celebrity ...Get Me Out Of Here! in which they will compete to be crowned the first I'm A Celeb 'legend.' In Tuesday night's episode Carol was chosen to take part in the Tanks of Torment and picked Fatima to join her.

Arriving at the trial to meet hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, Fatima said about their pairing: "Here we have the brains and the brawn. It’s going to be a good combination.”
