ITV I'm A Celebrity's Gillian McKeith first to be eliminated hours after smuggling salt into camp in a condom

Normally in I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! the celebrities are subject to a bland diet of rice and beans unless they win food camp. In I'm A Celebrity... South Africa, however, Gillian McKeith enjoyed some flavour as she smuggled in a lot of condiments into camp, including salt in a condom.

Gillian - who was first to be booted out of camp along with Shaun Ryder on Friday, April 28 after they lost a trial together - had already been forced to give up some smuggled goodies when the camp's meal was withheld until all contraband was handed in. Paul Burrell admitted he had snuck in coffee and Myleene Klass revealed some seasoning she had hidden in her scrunchie.

Gillian later revealed she had hidden more stuff in her knickers with spices, garlic and salt in a condom among the goods. Revealing her secret goods to camp, she said: "Sea salt! It's inside a condom, it was the only way to get it inside... it's not been used." Gillian's fellow celebrities were stunned by her news.

Amir Khan said: "Gillian had literally a whole tuck shop in her underpants. So much stuff...the list just went on and on!" while Carol Vorderman exclaimed: "Bloody hell Gillian!". Viewers were not impressed with her antics.

One said: "Wow I have no words" and another said: "Gillian kept that sea salt….WHERE?! #ImACeleb". A third said: "Gillian put that sea salt WHEEEEREEEE??" and: "Did Gillian SERIOUSLY think she’d get away with salt and teabags down her bra?? #imaceleb".

A fifth said: "So Gillian doesn’t know what contraband is, but she knows enough to smuggle all of that in? Mmm hmm". You can keep up to date with the latest TV and showbiz news by signing up to the newsletter here.

Gillian was later booted from the camp along with her former enemy-turned-friend when they paired up for a trial and came last. Shaun picked Gillian to be his teammate in the trial which featured boxes of creepy crawlies. After Gillian refused to put her hand in the first box, she and Shaun were quickly beaten by the two other pairings - Georgia Toffolo and Phil Tuffnell and Andy Whyment and Jordan Banjo.
