I'm a Celebrity's Dec Donnelly shares the one trial that would make him tap out

Dec Donnelly revealed what trial he could never face in the jungle.

Ant and Dec have watched on from the sidelines of countless trials, revelling in the celebrity's misfortune as they're pitted against everything from giant spiders to angry snakes. Though it comes with the territory, the presenters have never once got their own hands dirty and it looks like they never will.

Throughout the years they've admitted they have a soft spot for certain trials, most notably the eating challenges. Despite being a pinnacle moment in the show for how challenging it is, Dec revealed an arguably much more tolerable task would force him to tap out.

Watching the former UK healthy secretary, Matt Hancock face an array of snakes, entrails and flies, Dec's stomach churned in knots over a feathery addition. Discussing the challenge with Ant, he said facing a group of pigeons head-on is something he simply couldn't do.

Mr Hancock was challenged to manoeuvre around a small room, finding stars in drawers and bedsheets. The thought was too much for Dec as he repeatedly admitted it would make him quit.

He said: "I don't like that. I couldn't do it, no. It's the flapping that I hate." Ant quizzed his co-star on if he had a genuine fear of birds to which he confirmed, further reiterating that he would have to tap out.

He added: "It's the flappiness that gets me. I don't like the beaks either."
