I'm A Celebrity fans issue 'worst' complaint as Jordan Banjo addresses Janice Dickinson 'anger'

I'm A Celebrity... South Africa viewers were close to throwing up themselves as they watched Jordan Banjo and Janice Dickinson take on the first official trial of the series. The spin-off of the ITV reality show started on Monday night and all the returning campmates faced their first challenges before entering camp.

However, during Tuesday night's episode, presenting duo Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly announced that Diversity star Jordan and former model Janice as the two campmates taking part in the first eating trial of the series.

Upon hearing the news Janice declared: "Why did you choose me when you knew I couldn’t do it the last time? “I’m no longer in love with you, Ant. I’m seriously in shock."

The pair went on to face 10 "genitalia-heavy" dishes of varying degrees of repulsiveness with Jordan seen being tasked with eating pigs anus, as well as various other animal genitalia including penis, vagina, vulva and internal organs such as the heart, intestines, and lungs.

And while Janice fused to take part in the horrific eating contests during her first stint in I'm A Celeb in Australia in 2007, the 68-year-old actually managed to complete three courses and took home three stars to camp on top of the stars Jordan also earned by gagging his way through the stomach-churning trial.

But the scenes became too much for I'm A Celeb viewers as Jordan's wrenching also knocked them sick. @Daisy_TW_JLS tweeted: "Jordan gagging is making me really want to vomit #ImACeleb." @shazeenkala said: "Ok, Jordan is knocking me sick #ImACeleb."

@Mizzy226 posted: "This is making me feel sick watching them gag #ImACeleb." @ThemGeordieLads wrote: "It’s Jordan’s noises that make me sick #ImACeleb." @KJApaLuv added: "This is the worst eating trial #ImACeleb."

Some viewers were also claiming they had spotted Jordan's anger towards Janice as she passed up on the sharing dishes they were faced with, losing stars for camp. However, Jordan has said this couldn't be further from the truth as he addressed the trail on Instagram.

Appearing in a video on his Instagram Story as he watched the episode unfold, the Kiss FM DJ said: "Hey everyone. I'm just watching tonight's ep and I'll say this about Janice, she's an absolute beast doing three of those stars. I keep getting messages like, 'Jordan looks so angry with Janice that [she] didn't try any of those sharing dishes. He definitely would have given them a go.

"I might have looked like I was like, 'Oh no,' but I've never been more relieved that Janice said no because mate, I didn't want to eat it. The smell, it absolutely stinks and when you have a belly full of penis and everything else, you don't need anything else."

In the final moments of the show, it was announced that three new celebrities – Myleene Klass, Andy Whyment, and Georgia “Toff” Toffolo – would be joining the show on Wednesday’s episode (April 26). And the campmates will have to decide which of the three should undertake a challenge immediately upon arrival.
