The I’m A Celeb… South Africa campmate who has come in third place has been revealed in tonight’s final (May 12).
ITV hosts Ant and Dec announced the remaining three campmates would be competing against each other in Critter Countdown in the penultimate trial of the series.
The contestants had to keep their heads contained in a plastic container as bugs and insects were poured onto their head, hands and feet.
The person closest to pressing their buzzer to the six-minute mark would make it even further in the final.
