Game on! I’m A Celebrity South Africa will see the final two celebrities go head to head in a gruesome final trial tonight (Friday) to determine who wins the series
Battle: Fatima Whitbread, Phil Tufnell, Jordan Banjo and Myleene Klass all made it to the finals, but only two make it to the final showdown, with one crowned winner
The celebrity who chooses the highest number must then try to eat that much in the allotted time.
If they succeed, they get a point. However, if they can’t stand it and fail, their opponent gets a point.
To make things even more exciting, if both stars choose the same number, it’s a straight race.
In battle, the final two campmates will take on nine dishes – including fermented eggs and mouse tails – to determine who walks away as champion.
However, the road to victory won’t be easy for either the athlete, 62, the former cricketer, 57, the dancer, 30, or the presenter, 45, as they also have to face a challenge to determine the top three.
The journey faces an ordeal that assumes they can count up to six minutes while remaining covered in a slew of critters.
They all have to sit in a device with their feet in boxes, their hands in infernal holes, and their heads in helmets.
Their feet will be surrounded by biting green ants, cockroaches and crickets will surround their hands as they must come face to face with snakes of various sizes that will be added to their helmets.
Tough: Show bosses won’t make it easy for the campmates as they must compete in the ultimate eating trial, with Ant commenting, “Doing this will earn you the crown of the first-ever Legend of I’m A Celeb!” ‘
The three celebrities have to hit the buzzer when they think six minutes have passed. The two celebrities closest to six minutes will advance to the final, the third celebrity will be sent home.
It comes after there was a shocking twist on Thursday’s episode when all the old campmates who had already been eliminated came back to decide the fate of the final four.
The returning celebrities had to choose the three they wanted to send to the finals and pick one to send home.
The old stars returned when the final four took on the famous celebrity cyclone challenge and when they walked back to camp they were surprised by their friends.
Ant and Dec then arrived and sent the last four off for some food. While they were gone, the ex-camp mates found out they had work to do.
Dec said, “We didn’t just bring you back for a chat… you actually have a very important decision to make.”

Ant added: “You are going to turn our last four into the top three. You will do that by deciding as a group who deserves to be in the final. You have to choose a top three and whoever is not in the top three leaves the camp today.’
Stunned by the news, Toff said, “It’s a really awful, awful thing to do.”
Janice added, “It’s a terrible thing to do.”
As they tried to make up their minds, Joe said, “Listen, if we didn’t have to do this, we wouldn’t do it, we’d have them all in the final.”
