Getting there: 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’
Ant and Dec walked into camp and announced that Amir would be the seventh celebrity to leave the Jungle.
Talking in the Bush Telegraph, Iain said ‘He wound me up incessantly but I gave back as good as I got and he made me laugh so much. He’s the person I’ve laughed with the most, I shall miss him lots.’
Jamie said ‘He just made me laugh constantly.’
‘To be in the final four is just lovely’ said a visibly emotional Jennie.

Iain and Jamie were talking in camp. ‘I’m so humbled that people have seen something in us that perhaps we’ve not seen’ said Iain.
“I thought you were playing a game but you know I don’t think you are now, I think you’re a genuine guy’, said Jamie.
‘Thank you man, I appreciate you saying that’ replied Iain. ‘But that’s what this is, it’s a game” said Jamie as Iain agreed.

Challenge: Toff held up the stars as Jennie continued to hold on for dear life
Talking in the BT, Iain said ‘I thought that was very noble of him to say that, I certainly have not had a plan whereas I say I’m going to behave like this and to try and get reactions from them so they look bad. I’ve been as relaxed as much as one can be.’
The campmates then prepared to face the iconic Celebrity Cyclone challenge.
With glee Ant and Dec revealed that the fan favourite will now include a five-way flamethrower called the Five-Headed Dragon, to add to the many elements contestants will have to face.
Jennie walked into camp with a jungle laminate and read it out, saying ‘Celebrities you will all take part in today’s trial which is Celebrity Cyclone.’

Treat:The celebrities then all enjoyed a choc ice treasure hunt with Iain waxing lyrical about the icecream treat
Yum: Jennie got stuck into the sweet treat after three weeks surviving on rather less appetising fayre
The caped crusaders then sprinted to the trial as ‘Tough Toff’ led the way with Ant and Dec hummed the Superman theme tune.
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’ added Dec.
Reunited: For the first time in I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! history, the camp allowed the loved ones of the final four campmates into the Jungle
‘As I’m sure you’re aware they’ll be surprises along the way’.
The celebrities decided the order which was Jennie first, then Iain, then Toff and finally Jamie.
They all got on the turntable and the klaxon sounded to start the trial.
A screaming Jennie tried to run up the Cyclone path but she was hit by water, paint and balls while Ant said ‘I don’ think she’s going to make it’,
A ball hit her and she fell over, dropping all her stars so she had 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.’
No way: Thinking they were taking part in a challenge, the celebrities were sent one by one to different parts of the Jungle
Embrace: Jennie stopped in her tracks when she stumbled across husband Chris and the pair embraced and kissed tearfully as she asked about her toddler son
Glee: Chris said:’I’m so, so proud of you’ as a smitten Jennie said ‘I love you’ before hugging him
‘I can’t do it’ said Jennie, while Ant said ‘She can’t even walk.’
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.’
Next up was Toff, as she started to run up the cyclone she said ‘I’m coming Iain’ but then fell over as a ball hit her.
Shock: Toff was told to go to Snake Rock and there, sat on a log she found her mum Nicola. Toff was overwhelmed and hugged her mum tight saying ‘Mum I’ve missed you so much and thought about you every single minute’

She got up and tried to run up again but another ball hit her and she fell down with Ant remarking that ‘she’s so light, you could blow her over.’
Toff was hit in the knees and face as she valiantly attempted to reach Iain.
Eventually she reached Iain and he grabbed her by the hand as she took two stars and made a dash for her star marker before plummeting yet again
More water, paint and balls hit her but she arrived at her star marker and Jamie set off.
He only managed to take a couple of steps when a wall of water, balls and paint were released and everyone slid back to the beginning.
Happy: Meanwhile Iain came across his sister Jo. After hugging it out Jo said: ‘You’ve been absolutely amazing, we’ve been so proud of you, Mum and the boys, you trended on twitter, whatever that means. Mum’s fine and really proud’
Support: ‘I’ve been making a list of all the celebrities that are supporting you, Nadia from Bake Off and Chas from Chas and Dave, everyone is loving it,’ said Jo.
Glee: “Really? I don’t get it,’ he said. ‘Because you are not an alpha jock bloke,’ Jo replied
Strawberry gate: Jo joked ‘It’s shown you to be someone who really likes strawberries. And a bit deceitful!’
They all tried to get back to their star markers before time ran out, Jamie expertly headbutted two balls out the way.
Toff then struggled to get to her star but eventually made it. The klaxon sounded and a river of red water dislodged all the contestants bar Jennie who clung on with a vice grip.
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.
As the celebs clung on they all cheered as they clung on and ultimately won the challenge.
‘Can we go again that was brilliant’ said Iain. ‘We did it’ said Toff.

‘I couldn’t see a thing’ said Jennie. Ant said ‘Nobody has never not completed this challenge.’
Ant said to Toff, ‘You really struggled at the end there.”
‘Do you have any idea, they were all going for me’ said Toff.
Dec smiled and turned to Ant and said ‘You don’t understand.’ Ant laughed ‘I don’t understand”.
Toff laughed and said “You don’t understand again.’I had it tough, you don’t understand!’
Jennie said: ‘I had a big ball in the face,’ as a cheeky Ant said ‘lucky you!’

Pulling back Nicola said: ‘I need to tell you that my heart is bursting with pride because you have shown everyone how strong, fair, how kind you are your little positive face every morning when you wake up.’

This was then beamed into camp where Jamie and Toff had to match their impression with one of the smiley emojis hanging from the trees. They win the challenge and went to collect their Dingo Dollars.
As Jennie and Iain pulled a series of animated expressions, Toff said ‘they’re doing a rude gesture at us’

Jamie was keen to nominate himself but Toff pointed out ‘You are more heroic, you are big and strong and you probably got more stars than me but I’ve done five trials.’
Jamie said: ‘I don’t want to say myself you are my hero.’
‘I’ve eaten and drunk a lot but you’ve done the physical stuff’ said Toff.
Toff eventually scrunched up a leaf in her hand and asked him to pick a hand – the one he chose meant they gave Toff as the answer.
Prizes: Then it was Who is the biggest drama queen – Iain or Amir. Toff argued for Amir ‘Drama queen as in screaming, pantomime, theatre’ with Amir being the correct answer

Jennie said a low point was thinking on the first night in the camp ‘this is the worst mistake of my life’ but that it has turned into the best experience of her life.
Jamie’s worst moment was when everybody received their letters while partnering up with Jennie on the Plank challenge was his favourite.
Toff said ‘that’s what I’ll take away from this, that being yourself is good.’
