I'm A Celebrity's Chris Moyles reveals ITV didn't air challenge as it was 'so bad'

I'm A Celebrity star Chris Moyles revealed that ITV didn't air a Dingo Dollar wheels challenge as he and Scarlette Douglas did so appallingly.

Chris was speaking as he returned to hosting his morning show at Radio X after six weeks away, thanks to his jungle stint.

The famous face also spoke about Olivia Attwood's shock early exit and ditching the official show wrap party for dinner with his campmates.

This year's I'm A Celeb cohot were not naturals when it came to the Dingo Dollar Deals on Wheels challenges, which sees two campmates work out a puzzle and then their pals back at camp having to answer a question correctly, in order to get an edible treat.

Speaking to Toby Tarrant and his radio team, Chris explained: “We were so bad at winning the treats in the Dingo Dollar Deals on Wheels challenges that Scarlette and I did a challenge and they didn't even show it. That's how bad we were.”

Chris also shared his confusion over Love Island star Olivia Attwood's departure from the show after around 24 hours.

The reality TV star sparked concerns that she was 'dangerously anaemic' following medical tests, and as a result, ITV bosses decided that her time in the jungle had to come to an end, leaving Olivia devastated.

Chris said: "We all felt so sorry for her because she got all the way to camp, found her hammock and went ‘right I'll sleep in a hammock’. Put a bag down, went into the Bush Telegraph, had a chat, came back. I think she stayed till the food arrived. And then she disappeared.

"And you go off and you have a chat in the Bush Telegraph whenever you like, which is fine. And then we're all chatting away for a bit and then someone's going ‘where's Olivia?’ We're like ‘oh, maybe just she's gone to medical or something’.

Chris went on: "And then she just never reappeared and we’re like ‘we guess she's gone’. But we were like ‘well, she was in great mood. It's not like she's gone I can't do this with these idiots and left.'"

Chris also dished on why the campmates and their loved ones skipped the show's official wrap party, as Charlene White confirmed when she appeared on Loose Women yesterday.

Charlene added that Mike Tindall and his wife Zara organised the do, describing the nice of King Charles as "one of us".

Explaining why the celebs missed the party, Chris said: "It's about a 45/50 minute drive from the hotel. It happens on Monday night and bearing in mind with the time difference, the final is Monday morning, right? Those three finalists, they get worked really hard all day, and so we were absolutely going to go but Mike Tindall then organised two massive tables at the restaurant.

"So what was lovely was every single campmate and their other half or friends and family went to this dinner."
