I’m A Celeb SPOILER: Shane Richie is faced with 200 spiders

He has become a show favourite since bursting into the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! castle earlier this month. 

And Shane Richie is set to take centre stage on Tuesday night as he takes on the Cruel Jewels challenge – a gruesome undertaking laden with creepy creatures. 

The EastEnders actor, 56, looked nothing short of terrified as he began the task with his head in a perspex box while surrounded by 200 spiders.

Shane looked petrified by the task as he stuck his head in the box and attempted to nab the stars while using just his tongue. 

As Ant and Dec repeatedly pushed the fact that there were 200 spiders in the box, Shane urged them to keep quiet so he could do the task. 

Using just his tongue, he attempted to retrieve the stars, which were bejewelled in a nod to the jewels in the title of the challenge.  

On Monday, the camp saw the lowest amount of meals after AJ Pritchard and Jessica Plummer only managed to nab six stars during their tough Trial.

And after the disappointing result Shane confidently declared that the actress, 28, would be up for the next challenge too after being ‘so scared’.

However fans of the show were not impressed with the actor’s ‘b******g’ and voted for Shane to take on the Cruel Jewels Trial himself.

After the duo returned from the challenge, the EastEnders star chatted with Vernon Kay about how Jessica will end up doing more trials because of her performance.

Discussing how she was ‘petrified’, Shane suggested that this would keep her in the Trial danger zone as it was entertaining to watch for viewers at home. 

Not holding back on how he felt, he also added: ‘I say this every year I watch it. Why would you come and do it? You know what’s going to happen.’

Shane and Vernon caught up about the day while getting into their hammocks, with the actor saying: ‘Yeah tomorrow night, 100 per cent Jess.’
