The episode had started with the final three reflecting on their journey in the jungle, and expressing their shock at being voted through by the public, following Jennie McAlpine’s departure.

The MIC star, aware of her huge popularity, said in shock: ‘Is this a dream? How on earth did I get here? Someone’s totted up the votes wrong, how out of all those people am I here? How!’

Iain then admitted: ‘Apart from the birth of my kids and meeting the pop group The Monkeys, this is the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me.’ 

Go girl: Toff kicked the evening of trials off by partaking in the famous John T-revolting challenge, in a bid to win the starters for herself and her camp mates

While Jamie added: ‘I’m absolutely made up I can’t tell you. I never ever expected to get this far.’

All three contestants then had to participate in a final gruesome Bushtucker Trial, in order to win a three-course feast for their last night in Croc Creek.  

Toff kicked the evening of trials off by partaking in the famous John T-revolting challenge, in a bid to win the starters for herself and her camp mates.

Stayin Alive! In the trial, Toff was placed in a mould of the famous Saturday Night Fever pose, with each compartment then filled with a different jungle critter

In the trial, Toff was placed in a mould of the famous Saturday Night Fever pose, with each compartment then filled with a different jungle critter. 

The blonde was seen shrieking with fright as she endured ten minutes of critters, including spiders, green ants and cockroaches, being poured into the different compartments all over her body.

At one point, a spider hung precariously close to her face, causing her to shriek with fright, before she squirmed as the viscous green ants bit into her arms and legs. 

Jungle jane! Toff completed her last ever trial with a full house, as she and her campmates all took part in the separate challenges

Scary: Toff was competing to earn starters for her and camp-mates Iain and Jamie as well as a drink and treat for herself

She's got nerve: The blonde was seen wincing as she endured five minutes of critters, including spiders, green ants and burrowing cockroaches, being poured all over her body

While she cried out in pain at the ants’ bites, Toff distracted herself by thinking of her meal that evening, in her usually witty style.

She said: ‘Just think of the belting meal we’re going to have! I’m thinking a big, big burger, with chips AND a lobster’, leaving Ant and Dec in stitches. 

As 15,000 cockroaches were poured into her right leg however she soon returned to reality, crying out: ‘No they’re the pits! That’s just feral isn’t it.’

Before adding to the delight of viewers: ‘Whoever thinks this s***t up is warped.’ 

The last leg of the challenge saw yabbis and crabs added to her left leg, before burrowing cockroaches and spiders soon swarmed around her head.

Clearly struggling, the blonde was heard almost breaking down in tears – but continually uttered the words ‘Be strong’, until her 10 minutes came to an end.

With the trial over, Toff laughed with glee as she waltzed away from the clearing with a full house of stars – causing Dec to quip: ‘What a nutter!’   

Leading lady: However, the beauty off held her nerve in the trial and took home all five stars - earning the first course of the feast as well as a drink and treat for herself

Toff’s campmate Iain next faced the infamous Bushtucker bonanza, where he chowed down on a variety of jungle favourites.

As if that was not horrifying enough, Iain also fought the temptation to enjoy some delicious dishes such as a roast dinner, apple crumble and a cheeseboard, in order to win a luxurious dinner for camp. 

The TV presenter, competing to win main courses for him and his campmates as well as a drink and treat for himself, was first faced with turkey testicles, in true festive spirit.

However he remained positive as he embarked on the challenge, musing to Ant and Dec’s delight as he chowed down on the testicle: ‘See, I’m chewing but they’re not getting any smaller!’

Not nice: He was then faced with two dead scorpions, which he proceeded to crunch with his eyes closed - comparing them to eating your own fingernails, as well as 'a***holes'

While the hosts advised him to think of the meal that evening, Iain simply quipped: ‘I won’t be hungry, I’ll be in intensive care!’ 

Next up was a camel’s brain and a glass of blended cockroaches, crickets and mealworms – which he chugged down with ease, before turning to Ant and Dec and declaring: ‘How about that you b******s!’

Saving the worst for last, Iain rounded off his jungle meal with a pig’s vagina, which despite its vile taste, he managed to chomp down – also earning him five stars for camp, and proving himself after giving up on two trials previously on the series. 

The Bushtucker Bonanza is no stranger to an appearance in the I’m A Celebrity final, with Ferne McCann shocking fans by chowing down on a live water spider in 2015, and Gino D’Campo eating a fermented duck egg in 2009. 

Jamie was last to complete his Bushtucker trial, in order to win the trio’s dessert course, as well as his own drink and treat.

While Jamie handled the claustrophobic side of the challenge with ease, things soon went awry when the terrifying jungle pythons were dropped into his chamber.

With the snakes slithering all over his face and torso, the actor was seen freezing in fear as he attempted to ignore the creatures and focus on the task at hand – joking: ‘They seem to like my head these snakes’.  

However, the chamber was then plunged into complete darkness with two minutes to go – at which point a snake simultaneously dropped onto his face from the ceiling, causing Ant and Dec to gasp with fright.

Terrifyingly the python began to wrap itself around Jamie’s face, leaving the hosts noticeably concerned – and warning him to stay very still for his own safety.
