Toff said ‘This is going to be the best time of my entire life’ while an elated Jennie said ‘I’m going to fall over!’
Dec said: ‘This is Celebrity Cyclone, you will all begin on the turntable at the end here and when the fireball goes off the first person will get off the turntable, grab all four stars and make their way up the course to the first star marker, where you’ll put the first star.’
Ant added ‘Then when they’re in place, the second person leaves the turntable, takes the 3 stars and has to get to that star and so on. You have 10 minutes to get all 4 stars on the star markers and yourselves.’
‘So they have to be in place at the end of time” said Dec.
As I’m sure you’re aware they’ll be surprises along the way”.

A ball hit her and she fell over, dropping all her stars so she had to attempt to start again.
‘Come on Jennie, you can do this’ said Dec as Jennie fell over again and again, with Ant joking ‘we’re going to run out of water in a minute.
‘I can’t do it” said Jennie, while Ant said ‘She can’t even walk.
Making a splash: It was a battle against time at 6 minutes as they all fought to get back to their positions with Iain helping Toff over the line
Loving it: Toff couldn’t stop laughing as she was soaked from the task
Eventually she managed to get to the first star marker and a brave Iain started to run up to her just as a star fell back to the start so he had to turn around and grab that.
As a valiant Iain shouted ‘I’m coming Jennie, I’m coming’ but he managed to reach Jennie, get the 3 stars and get to his star marker.
