McKeith - "I have massive phobias that I'm facing"

Having fainted during her first 'Bushtucker Trial', TV nutritionist Gillian McKeith is set to face a new ordeal on 'I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!'.

Fans of the show have already seen McKeith receive oxygen after she was released from a crate containing rats and water while trying to win food for the girls' camp.

She said afterwards: "I thought there was going to be tonnes of water on my face, I couldn't see the lock. I could feel myself passing out.

"I tried. I desperately tried. I have massive phobias that I'm facing. It's not like I'm not trying.

"I've come here, I've got in a helicopter and I had a friend who died in a helicopter crash so that was a huge deal for me.

"I slept out in the jungle overnight and I'm terrified of insects and today I had to cross a bridge and I'm afraid of heights."

Her pleas, however, were ignored by viewers, and they have voted for her to take part in the next 'Bushtucker Trial', 'School Dinners', with Happy Mondays singer Shaun Ryder.
