The controversial radio DJ joined the ITV series as a latecomer alongside MSP Kezia Dugdale, 36, but didn’t get off to a good start with his star-studded comrades. 

Ant and Dec welcomed the duo as they promised the veteran jungle residents that they were all spared the latest Bushtucker trial.  

“Usually when you come to the Bushtucker trial clearing you’ll be facing a Bushtucker trial, but today you are all in luck because none of you are doing the trial,” teased Dec. 

“That’s because we have two new celebrities are going to join us and they are the ones that are doing the trial.”

He continued: “Afterwards, you are going to be spilt into opposing camps and the winning celebrity will become the first ever Jungle Prime Minister.”

“You lot looked really f**ked. Sorry, but you look very exhausted,” Iain, 44, told the unimpressed celebrities. 

Iain and Kezia then attempted to sell themselves to camp as the group had to sit by which new arrival they wanted to win the task - and not one of them chose the comedian. 

Though, they soon lived to regret their decision as Iain sailed through the trial, titled The Battle of 10 Downing Creek, and was awarded with picking five campmates to join him in the luxurious Croc Creek. 

“This is awkward, isn’t it?” Iain grinned, as he scoured over at the whole pack, who sided with Kezia. 

Regardless, he chose Shappi Khorsandi, Jennie McAlpine, Dennis Wise, Amir Khan and Stanley Johnson to join him in paradise.

I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! continues tomorrow night at 9pm on ITV.
