Actor Craig Charles could be set to leave the I'm A Celebrity jungle after receiving the shocking news that his older brother has passed away.
The Coronation Street star found out about his brother just minutes after waking up on Thursday morning (Australian time), which is why he was exempt from tonight's Bushtucker Trial public vote.
According to a show insider, producers were leaving it up to Craig to decide whether or not he wanted to stay in the competition or head home immediately.
Craig, 49, was not in shot when Ant and Dec went into the Croc Creek camp towards the end of this evening's show, which could be when producers were breaking the sad news to him.
"We took the decision not to shock him and wake him in the middle of the night and will inform him of the sad news when he wakes up," the source continued.
"He will be allowed to do exactly what he wishes."
If Craig goes, he will become the second celebrity within 24 hours to leave the Australian jungle, after Gemma Collins sensationally quit this morning.
I'm A Celebrity 2014: The WORST Bushtucker Trials EVER!
1 of 8Dean Gaffney (2006)
Ex-EastEnder Dean Gaffney showed off his impressive ability to yelp like an injured animal in his 2006 trial. To be fair to the man, he did have cockroaches poured on his head, put his hands in a box of biting ants and retrieve a star from a pool of baby crocodiles.
2 of 8Gino D’Acampo (2009)
“I think I’ve got to eat some kind of weird stuff,” commented Gino when he was told he was going to do a Bushtucker Bonanza. Yep, we guess that a fermented egg, a rhino beetle, cockroach, wittchedy grub, mealworms, beach worms and crocodile tongue might be considered ‘weird’.
3 of 8Jennie Bond (2004)
Alone, wet, cold and covered with rats. Not a situation we’d like to get in any time soon, but former Royal correspondent Jennie Bond managed to last a whole 10 minutes locked in a water and rat filled coffin by humming an upbeat tune. We salute you, Ms. Bond.
4 of 8Joey Essex (2013)
Locked in a cold, dark, slimy tomb, we’d be freaking out if we were Joey in his 2013 task. But the TOWIE star powered through and managed to find all twelve hidden stars without uttering a single scream, only stopping to moan ‘This is definitely, 100% not reem,’ and to comment that the rodents were biting his ‘middle parts’.
5 of 8Mark Wright and Freddie Starr (2011)
TOWIE’s Mark and hamster-eating comedian Freddie were an oddly matched pair for the ‘Greasy Spoon Café’ culinary battle, but the resulting Bushtucker trial has to be one of our faves. The couple was challenged to dine on a spoiled egg, blended cockroaches, mealworms and mouse tails, turkey testicles, a camel’s toe and a pigs anus.
6 of 8Martina Navratilova (2008)
Tennis pro Martina impressed us all when she shared a plastic bubble helmet with a variety of jungle critters, including grasshoppers, cockroaches, stick insects, spiders and snakes. While we shuddered and hid behind our hands, Martina took it like a champ.
7 of 8Matt Willis (2006)
Poor Matt Willis proved he’s no wimp when he munched his way to victory in his Bushtucker Bonanza challenge of 2006. The McBusted star dined out on live mealworms, witchetty grubs, a kangaroo anus and a crocodile penis. Mr Willis managed the whole lot without a single retch, commenting after ‘I’ve got kangaroo anus in my teeth. It’s a really good look.’
8 of 8Kim Woodburn (2009)
Kim was submerged in a tank under water, while thousands of cockroaches and other critters were poured on her. As much as we did feel for clean freak Kim, her screeches of "Something’s nipping my bosoms" and "It's bitten my bum!" made this trial a timeless classic.
