Carol Vorderman was left in shock as Gillian McKeith revealed the contents of her "spicy knickers" to her fellow I'm A Celebrity campmates. After being rumbled by producers in last night's episode (April 27), Gillian sat down tonight to show her peers exactly what she had smuggled into camp.
The holistic nutritionist, 63, had brought contraband into the South African bush by stuffing it in her underwear, wearing multiple pairs of knickers to conceal her haul of herbs, spices and teabags. "There's a two layer set of knickers with a little pocket in the back," Gillian said, as she began pulling food out.
"So, garlic bulb... thyme, marjoram, rosemary, oregano, basil and tarragon. Miso soup! This would have been amazing for your rice," she told Janice Dickinson, who seemed annoyed that Gillian had not let her in on her secret stash sooner.

Gillian then proceeded to extract a seemingly never-ending list of objects from her pants, including 20 almonds, dill weed, seaweed strips, stock cubes, tomato and basil soup mix, and gluten free soy sauce. "Sea salt," she said, as she revealed the unusual storage solution she had smuggled it in.
"It's inside a condom because it was the only way to get it inside, right? It's not been used."
Perplexed, Carol asked her "resourceful" campmate: "Did you actually sit down in those knickers?"
"Yes," Gillian confirmed. "I did."
Carol then expressed her disbelief to the cameras behind closed doors. "She always ate on her bed," the Clifton resident recalled, as she gestured to pulling things out of an imaginary pair of pants. "So she was obviously having a rummage into the spicy knickers and having a sprinkle."
"I never knew you had so much in your knickers," cricketer Phil Tufnell remarked, as Gillian jokingly hit back: "You never looked."
At the end of tonight's episode, Gillian and Shaun Ryder, who famously did not get on in the 2010 series, were booted from camp as they finished last in a trial. Before saying her goodbyes, Gillian revealed to hosts Ant and Dec that she had also smuggled "30 teabags, 25 almonds and a whole packet of zinc" in too.
