It seems a funny way to punish someone for not doing your bidding: ensuring they’ll never again have to put unwanted animal testicles in their mouth. But according to new reports, producers of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! have included a twist in the show to keep Kendra Wilkinson out of the Bushtucker Trials vote – because she’s pissed them off by not playing ball.
Kendra was made exempt from the public vote by the ‘CIA’ campmates – Jimmy Bullard, Edwina Currie and Jake Quickenden – in last night’s show, meaning Jake had to take on the Critter Cube challenge.
But according to the Daily Star, Kendra’s exemption was a last-minute amendment to the programme by I’m A Celeb bosses who were getting fed up of her failing the Trials.
In Friday night’s show she only managed one minute and 20 seconds in the Cocktail Shaker before screaming to be let out, bringing home just one star for her campmates.
Then again on Saturday, the 29-year-old mum of two could only win two stars in the Catacombs of Doom task before telling hosts Ant and Dec she wanted out.
A source told the newspaper that Kendra’s fears are causing a big headache for the producers.
“They couldn’t risk Kendra being voted to do the live trial and then quitting early, or not even attempting it,” the insider continued.
“The twist aimed to fix it so campmates could save Kendra from another trial. And it worked perfectly... The challenges take months to plan, so when a celeb isn’t willing to try, it causes a major problem.”
What do you make of their decision? Should Kendra skip all the Trials because she can’t be trusted to complete them? Or should she be included on the public vote and just try her best at them?

Curvy girl Gem was the first celeb to strip off for the famous jungle shower in this current series, giving us many LOLs at her hilarious squeals and groans at the cold water.

Flanny whinged her way through every single challenge, at one point quitting before the challenge had even begun because the idea of getting in a giant empty hamster wheel made her ‘a bit panicky’. However she managed to win the, errr, hearts of many in her itsy-bitsy blue bikini.

Myleene isn’t the only contestant to don a white bikini on the show. The controversial talk show host showed us that he knows how to work his curves, à la Ms Klass. We bow down to you, Mr Wright.
4 of 9Katie Price, 2009
No I’m a Celebrity shower gallery would be complete without the assets of Katie Price, aka Jordan. Katie knew exactly what she was doing when she stripped down to a frilly red bikini and lathered up her bod in her second stint in the jungle.
5 of 9Mark Wright, 2011
When we weren’t enjoying Mark’s solo shower scenes (the man looks like a human Ken doll), we were obsessing with his flirtatious fling with glamour girl Emily Scott. Our ultimate fave moment has to be Mark emerging butt naked from the jungle pool as a lustful Emily looks on. Join the club, Scottie…

In 2012, former Pussycat Dolls Ash made jaws drop across the nation when she took a dip in the pool. Doncha wish your girlfriend could work the jungle shower like her?

The Italian stallion wasn’t shy about baring his naked bottom (which we didn’t mind at all). Room for one more in there, Gino?
8 of 9Amy Willerton and Joey Essex, 2013
She’s the beauty queen of GB, he’s Essex royalty. Watching the love blossom between these two exceptionally beautiful specimens was one of our fave TV moments of 2013 – especially when they jumped in the shower together. We can’t decide who we fancy more.
9 of 9Myleene Klass, 2006
Ms Klass is undoubtedly the queen of the jungle shower. Her infamous white bikini sold for £7,500 on eBay, which she donated to the victims of the Fareapak savings scandal.
