Aitch vs. Crocodile: I’m A Celeb Fans Praise Rapper After Intense Bushtucker Trial, Tears from Home Photos, and Eddie Faces A-Scarium

Aitch took on the latest Bushtucker Trial on Tuesday night’s episode of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! – and came up against a very aggressive crocodile.

With the public voting for the rapper, 25, to face the Jungle Doomsday challenge, he told the Bushtucker Telegraph: ‘The pressure’s on, Ruby and Ginge set the bar pretty high. 

‘I know in my heart I’m gonna smash it and I’m gonna give it my all, that’s all you can do.’

The episode also saw the stars get emotional as they received their photos from home, Alex Scott open up about her relationship with Jess Glynne and Eddie Kadi be voted for the next trial called the A-Scarium. 

As Ginge and Eddie waved him off, Aitch headed down to the trial clearing to find out his fate.

Ant and Dec introduced him to The Doomsday Vault – a secret underground bunker designed to safeguard the future of Bushtucker trials, with everything needed for trials hidden underground in the event of a catastrophe. 

In amongst this were 10 hidden stars equalling 10 meals for camp, with 10 minutes for Aitch to find all 10 stars. But in true Bushtucker style he wouldn’t be alone down there.

A determined Aitch headed underground to start the trial. As soon as he went down to get his first star, he had to be decontaminated which meant he got sprayed with red paint. 

As Aitch got completely covered, he joked: ‘I look like Ginge!’

Next up, Aitch had to put his hands into hell holes full of the likes of lizards, mud crabs and yabbies in a search for further stars. 

At one point he had to get a star from a vault with the pesky crocs in and everytime he leant in they jumped up to bite him making him scream. 

To get himself in the zone, he started singing Peter Andre’s Mysterious Girl and later, Let’s Get Ready to Rumble!

Aitch then had to wade through offal, slime and fish guts, before getting covered in cockroaches, crickets and mealworms whilst he continued his hunt for stars.

With time ticking, and deactivate mode triggered, Ant and Dec urged Aitch to quickly get out of the vault before it self-destructed. 

Just making it out in time, he valiantly army rolled out, before a smoke explosion erupted from the vault.

Speaking about his army roll, Aitch told Ant and Dec ‘You told me it was gonna blow, so I had to go James Bond!’

Safely on the ground, he collected an impressive seven out of 10 stars in what Ant and Dec deemed to be a very challenging trial.

Returning to camp to tell his campmates, Aitch recounted the terrors of the trial and every animal he faced in the vault. 

Viewers were quick to react to the croc fighting scenes as they penned on X during the trial: ‘Fair play to Aitch, he’s getting stuck in. Those mini alligators were vicious! #imaceleb #imacelebrity.’,

‘OMG EVEN I SCREAMED THEN.’,

‘Aitch vs the crocodile.’, 

‘Omg that Crocodile with Aitch.’,

‘That Alligator jumping at Aitch, Lord. #ImACeleb.’,

‘the croc leaping and going straight for aitch was HARSH #imaceleb.’,

‘Aitch just about having a fight with a crocodile was not on my 2025 bingo card #ImACeleb.’,

‘Not the croc squaring up to aitch.’

‘Aitch beefing with an alligator was not on my bingo card…’.

Later in the episode Shona, Jack, Eddie and Lisa took part in the Dark Room Challenge at night where they had the opportunity to win a photo from home for each of the ten camp mates. 

Shona, Jack, Eddie and Lisa successfully completed the challenge, winning all ten photos from home for camp – which led to plenty of tears from the stars.

Kelly Brook broke down over a snap of her husband Jeremy, while Lisa was in floods of tears over the image of her family. 

Elsewhere in the episode Alex Scott opened up about her relationship with Jess Glynne, revealing: ‘I think before her, I never knew happiness.’

When Ruby Wax asked her how she met Jess, Alex replied: ‘She approached me in Chiltern Firehouse…I was in there with my friends and she just walked up to me… [it was] really ballsy and I was like, I like your ballsiness, and then the spark was just instant and then yeah…we fell madly in love.’

Ruby asked if marriage would be on the cards, with Alex saying: ‘I will get married to her, just waiting for her to ask, Rubes!’

Ruby then opened up about her experience meeting OJ Simpson and Donald Trump.

Shona McGarty also opened up about her anxiety, admitting: ‘I get social anxiety a lot.’

As Ruby reassured her: ‘Wow, you can’t tell.’

Alex shared: ‘I go inwards in myself in big groups.’ As she spoke of how Jess encouraged her to come out of herself and ‘show them what I see everyday’.

Elsewhere at the start of the episode, it was a new morning in the jungle and Jack was the first celebrity up, starting the fire with the help of Alex and Ruby.

Keen to make breakfast for the morning, Ginge decided to put the big pot of beans on the fire. 

However, disaster struck when the pot quickly fell over which ended up putting the fire out, much to the dismay of his fellow campmates. Ruby groaned: ‘He did it again!’

Aitch told the Bush Telegraph: ‘I reckon some rules and regulations need to be put in place, because Ginge can’t keep putting out the fire!’

As a result of this, all celebrities decided to hold a community meeting around the campfire (when it was eventually re-lit.)

Sharing his thoughts on camp life, Eddie was quick to get emotional, as he told the camp: ‘I know this might sound a bit much, I do really feel like I’m part of a family. It sounds mad, I feel like I’ve got brothers and sisters here. 

‘Martin, I literally look at you like my dad, I do! You’re just such a soft soul, there’s a love that you’re sharing with everybody.’

Shona also had tears in her eyes as she listened in. Martin later told the Bush Telegraph: ‘It’s lovely to get to know everyone, it’s the most bonding experience I’ve had for years.’

Kelly also got emotional, as she told her fellow campmates: ‘I’m not gonna lie, last night I just felt, I just felt a bit lost. 

‘I just want to be so useful, I’m just still trying to find my place in the camp in terms of what to do and so, I’m so sorry Jack if I’m coming at you and if I’m cutting potatoes wrong but honestly it’s only coming from a place where I just want to help.’

Jack told camp he was going to take a step back from cooking and chores as he wanted everyone else to get stuck in and delegated Alex and Shona to do the cooking.

He admitted: ‘Maybe I am doing too much and that’s just because in my world at home I’ve got four kids and I’m always just doing, doing, doing.’

Speaking to Alex and Shona about their appointed roles from Jack to one side, Kelly later said: ‘So he’s not in charge but then he’s in charge of everything, choosing who’s gonna be in charge…’

The end of the episode saw Ant and Dec head into camp to announce that Eddie would face the next Trial called the A-Scarium.

Viewers will have to tune in on Wednesday night to see how he gets on.
