Upon receiving a letter to the camp, an excited Mike explained to his fellow stars, “Celebrities, today you will all be attending today’s trial – Celebrity Cyclone.”
“I never thought I would make it to the cyclone. It’s going to be absolutely brilliant, I can’t wait,” said Matt.
Owen echoed his thoughts, adding: “I’m just humming, can’t believe I’m here, can’t believe I’m doing this. I’m speechless. I’m just literally speechless.’
And the celebs were certainly dressed for the occasion, clad in tight metallic hot pants and matching capes.

“I’ve got the cape, I’ve got the tight spandex and I’m loving life,” Owen said of his ensemble, while Mike sang, ‘Cause I’ve got my tight pants… I’ve got my tight pants on!’ in the Bush Telegraph, repeating a tune they had sung earlier at camp.
The quartet then came up with superhero names, with Mike for Quicksilver, Owen calling himself Goldic*cks, Matt for Bronze Bronco, and Jill for Purple Reign.
After pumping themselves up for the process, they made their way to the grounds to be greeted by Ant and Dec, when the latter said, “Gosh, you all look wonderful.”
Before the trial began, Matt said, “This is like the best water park ride in history!”

The reality show returned to the Australian jungle for the first time in three years after being held at Gwrych Castle in North Wales due to travel restrictions caused by the pandemic.
Last year the challenge in Wales was taken up by Danny Miller, Frankie Bridge, David Ginola and Simon Gregson, who got away with all four meals.
And in a pre-launch interview, Owen admitted, “It’s been on my bucket list since I was a kid. I never thought I’d be on the show, let alone be in here facing the cyclone.
Ant said: “Well it’s been on a little holiday in Wales for the last two years but it’s back on home turf, it’s Celebrity Cyclone of course.”
Trial: After being explained the rules and confirming that at the end of the day they all had to stand on their markers to win four meals for camp, they were ready to begin the trial
Dec explained: “Your job is to get the four stars onto the four star markers and keep them there until the end of the process. At the beginning, the first celebrity gets out of the twister, through the ditch with all four stars and makes his way to the first star marker.
Ant said: “Once they get there with their stars, the second celebrity jumps off the twister, through the ditch, gets to the first star marker, takes three stars and then moves on to the second star marker.
“And so on and so on. You know how it works. All stars must be on the star tokens at the end of time to be counted. You have 10 minutes to complete the process.’

Dec smiled, “You can always stop the process by saying, ‘I’m a star… Get me out of here!’ I’ll be honest with you, we won’t hear you. So you just have to suck it up and move on.’
The order in which the exam was entered was the order of Jill, Matt, Mike and then Owen – as they all chose different tactics for the exam, with Matt massively diving into the course while Owen unsuccessfully attempted through the assess -Parcours to walk.
But there was a happy ending for the stars at the end of the process as they each bagged a star and meals for the evening’s camp.
“It was the funnest thing I’ve ever done — I loved it,” Jill said afterwards, while Matt added, “It was even more fun than it looks.”
Treat: There was a treat waiting for them at the camp as four flavors of chocolate ice cream were hidden around the site to find them
And a treat awaited them at camp as Matt read out a message: “Celebs, while you were out on Cyclone, four chocolate ice cream cones were hidden around camp. You just have to find them before they melt.”
They split into sections and found all four. One was in the bathroom, one in the RV, one by the creek, and one in the Bush Telegraph.
As he ate his, Owen noticed the English football score was burned into the stick and exclaimed, ‘No way, he’s got the score! 6-2 England vs Iran. Jill had the Wales result and Mike saw the USA was 0-0.’
While an ecstatic Jill said, “As if that wasn’t already a big surprise, the soccer scores were written on the lollipop stick!”
“It’s coming home!” sang Owen.

Jill Scott is the favorite to win the current series of I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here, but some are predicting Matt Hancock could take home the crown.
The ex-lioness, 35, is leading the way to be crowned Queen of the Jungle at 2/5, while Owen Warner is placed at 5/1 and Matt Hancock at 6/1.
According to OLBG bookies, Mike Tindall has an 8/1 chance. And Matt remains on the show despite earlier predictions that he would be the first to leave the jungle.
Hots Ant and Dec wished them “good luck” before excitedly saying, “I missed that!”
The former health secretary, 44, sparked controversy when it was confirmed he was heading to the Australian jungle earlier this month.
He asked for “a little bit of forgiveness” after housemates grilled about his controversies during the Covid-19 pandemic.
MP Matt quit his cabinet role after he controversially flouted his own lockdown rules last year by having an affair with aide Gina Coladangelo.
