The ‘worst ever’ I’m A Celebrity eating challenge went into extra time after a tie break.
On Wednesday night’s episode, King Rhino Jimmy Bullard, 37, took on his first football manager King Lion Harry Redknapp, 79, in the Bushtucker Trial Beastly Braa.
And it was no easy feat as they had to eat five disgusting dishes in order to secure a dream safari trip and bush banquet for their team.
Viewers watched in horror as Harry and Jimmy made their way through revolting courses including Mashed Po-tofu and Reek Salad.
On the menu was wild boar penis, lamb brain and fermented tofu, kudo intestines and worms, pig’s anus.
Before the challenge began, Harry appeared sentimental as he revealed he was the first manager to sign Jimmy who was ‘just a kid’.

Jimmy was signed for West Ham United, for a fee of £30,000 in 1999. He did not manage to break into the team and went on to play for Peterborough United in 2001.
Viewers watching at home were stunned by the huge portion sizes as they wrote on X: ‘Harry is just so unbothered, I aspire to be that calm’;
‘This eating challenge looks absolutely awful’;
‘Why are the portions so big? They won’t sit good inside’;
‘This eating trial is unreal’ and ‘The portion sizes in these challenges are mental’
‘They’ve really stepped up the eating trials’.
After both Harry and Jimmy managed to successfully eat all five courses, it then went to a tie-break.
The duo had to drink a blend of fermented fish and stinky tofu. Jimmy was the fastest to drink it and so headed off onto safari with his team.
