Starr - Loses Scales of Justice trial

Freddie Starr was delayed from entering the Australian jungle for this year's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! due to issues with securing insurance for him, however he finally joined his fellow contestants at the weekend.

Once the celebrities had all arrived in camp, they had to complete a Scales of Justice trial.

All ten camp mates went head to head in their teams to win food for the evening, dangling in seats over the top of two tanks filled with fish guts.

The challenge was to get two stars from boxes in front of them, which contained cockroaches, crickets, eels and mealworms, and pass a key attached to the stars to the team mate next to them.

The first team who managed to open all boxes would be pronounced the winners and the losing team would be dunked in the tank.

The blue team (Jessica Jane Clement, Freddie Starr, Dougie Poynter, Stephanie Powers and Willie Carson) lost out to the yellow team (Mark Wright, Crissy Rock, Antony Cotton, Fatima Whitbread, and Lorraine Chase) after Starr failed to find his second star.

He confessed his disappointment about the challenge, saying: "I'm feeling so guilty about not getting it", while teammate Willie comforted him with "You are a star."

Willie Carson and Lorraine Chase took part in the second Bushtucker Trail on the show.

The jockey and ex-Emmerdale actress battled in a Food Poker challenge to win meals for their respective camps Snake Rock (Stefanie Powers, Jessica-Jane Clement, Freddie Starr and Dougie Poynter) and Croc Creek (Mark Wright, Fatima Whitbread, Crissy Rock and Anthony Cotton).

Carson and Chase each had to pick numbered boxes containing a jungle delicacy and guess whether their rival's food was "nice" or "nasty".

For each correct prediction they would receive one point, and the first contestant to reach five points would be crowned the winner.

Carson emerged victorious from the task after eating cat food, cheese and strawberry jam, while Chase, whote ate wasabi, garlic and jelly, returned to Croc Creek with no reward.

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here continues tonight at 9pm on ITV1.
