Former I’m A Celebrity contestant faked pregnancy to avoid trials

Gillian McKeith's stint on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! will (probably) never be forgotten. The You Are What You Eat host had a somewhat traumatic time in the jungle and was constantly voted to do Bushtucker trials. Twelve years after appearing on the show, Gillian has opened up about the experience and, in particular, how she tried to get out of doing trials.

"I tried everything to get out of these trials," she said during an interview with The Sun as she discussed her time on the show, which is currently airing its 22nd series on ITV. "I tried telling them I was pregnant and they didn’t believe me. I said, 'I do actually believe I am pregnant and we really must take this seriously,'" Gillian added.

Perhaps Gillian's most well-known moment of I'm A Celebrity was when she fainted after being told she'd be doing a live trial by hosts Ant and Dec. Viewers have since questioned whether Gillian had actually felt unwell.
