I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! star Jacqueline Jossa was faced with one last grim challenge before the winner of this year’s series was crowned.
In her last Bushtucker Trial she had to face her fear of spiders yet again, only this time she got a bit more up close and personal with them.
To win starters for the camp, a drink and a special treat, she had to face the Stake Out trial.
She had to lie down in a giant star with her arms and legs tied down, and stay on the star for 10 minutes.
Of course she wasn’t alone, with a selection of jungle critters joining her every two minutes.
For the first two she had fish guts and mealworms on her left arm, but the actress tried to distract herself by thinking about what she was going to have for her dinner. It worked a treat and she fetched her first star.
Then a delightful mix of crickets, scorpions and cockroaches were put onto a right arm but she got through the next two minutes and got another star.
Green ants were placed on her left leg but she endured that as well and earned another star.
Cockroaches were put onto her right leg but she battled through and got another star, however her biggest obstacle came when spiders were placed onto her head.
The ex-soap star tried to stay calm, and for her final minute she had to carefully hold a spider in her mouth.
Jacqueline herself has admitted she is terrified of spiders, so managing to carry out the last part of the trial was a huge accomplishment.
After earning her last star, she joked to Ant and Dec: ‘You’re out of order.’ Dec laughed and said: ‘You did it.’
Jacqueline was happy that she had scored prizes for herself and her fellow finalists Roman Kemp and Andy Whyment.
Fans shared their love and respect for the star on Twitter after she smashed the trial.

She previously faced down her fear in an earlier trial where spiders were poured into a glass helmet on her head.
Afterwards he former EastEnders star was clearly shaken, and teared up as she was hugged by her fellow campmates including Ian Wright, Caitlyn Jenner and James Haskell.
Dec said: ‘Can you believe you’ve just done that?’
She replied: ‘Literally the whole time…I can’t talk. My mouth’s so dry.
‘The whole time I’ve been talking about doing this, that’s the one thing, the head when you can’t flick them off your head. And spiders. I can’t even get a spider out of my toilet!’
