He has only appeared in one team challenge on I’m A Celebrity so far, after being ruled out of the others on medical grounds.
And it seems Stanley Johnson’s first attempt at a Bush Tucker trial is well worth the wait, as it leaves Ant and Dec in stitches.
The task sees the politician, 77, throw a ball into a nearby goal, while strapped to a wheel covered in critters – however he misses every single shot, to the hilarity of the presenting duo.

On Wednesday’s episode Stanley participates in the Fear Factory trial with Kezia Dugdale – who replaced the public-voted Rebekah Vardy after she was removed on medical grounds.
In a teaser clip for the challenge, the former Conservative MP is strapped to a large wheel covered covered with critters, and has to locate balls among the creepy crawlies to throw into a nearby goal.
However, it seems throwing is not Stanley’s strong point, as he proceeds to miss every single shot in the short time limit – to the delight of Ant and Dec.

Although he has less than half the time left, the politician refuses to rush his remaining attempts – with Dec joking: ‘There’s no sense of urgency is there!’
