I’m a Celebrity’s Fred Sirieix is faced with a room full of rats as he takes on his first ever solo Bushtucker Trial on Monday night’s episode on ITV.
In a first look clip from the upcoming episode, the professional chef, 51, will tackle finding stars in the Celebrity Distressing Rooms challenge.
The First Dates star will have to search his way through rotten fruits and vegetables while having cockroaches fall on him from the ceiling.
So far Fred seems to be getting on well with the challenge as he entered the first dressing room named Rat Damon’s.
Hilariously Fred can be heard repeating ‘Hello, hello, hello’ greeting the rats to keep himself calm.

In a first look clip from the upcoming episode, the professional chef will tackle finding stars in the Celebrity Distressing Rooms challenge.
But will he be able to keep up with Tony Bellew and Nella Rose’s nine star streak and bring home the stars for camp?
Meanwhile, in Sunday night’s episode, Fred engaged in another heated cooking row with Josie Gibson.
Fred has become increasingly irate after having to hand over cooking duties to This Morning presenter Josie, 38, and has struggled to not get involved as she makes dinner.
And on the latest instalment he interfered again as she tried to make their sausage and potato dinner as she moaned to Nella Rose that he ‘couldn’t drop it’.
Viewers were quick to react to his behaviour as one penned on Twitter: ‘Fred please grow up….you are not designated chef just because that’s what you do for a living #ImACeleb.’
Another wrote: ‘OMG Fred leave Josie alone to cook. #ImACeleb.’
It comes after tensions between Nella and Fred continued to rise in Saturday night’s episode.
While the pair got off to a rocky star with their infamous argument, which has been coined as dad-gate, it seemed they had managed to put their differences aside.

But will he be able to keep up with Tony Bellew and Nella Rose’s nine star streak and bring home the stars for camp?
However after several days of tense conversations regarding the inadequate washing up things came to a head again between the pair, as Nella exclaimed: ‘It’s just rice’.
After becoming camp leader in Friday’s episode, the YouTuber, 26, reassigned the camp chores, taking Fred off camp chef duty and placing him on pot washer.
Fred caused conflict the night before after claiming the pots and pans weren’t cleaned sufficiently and had been left dirty after last night’s dinner.
In an attempt to teach Fred a lesson, Nella and her deputy leader Danielle Harold decided that if he believed the pot washers weren’t doing a good enough job he could wash them himself.
Josie Gibson and Tony Bellew have taken on the role of camp chefs, yet Fred is struggling to give up his power in the kitchen.
And it’s not just Nella he is angering, as both the This Morning presenter and boxer are also becoming frustrated with the 51-year-old.
As Josie got breakfast underway, Fred asked: ‘Did you do the beans, Josie. Did you soak them?’ before bossing around Tony with instructions on how to place the plan on the fire.
‘Put it flat Tony, you’ve got to make sure it’s flat. Not quite flat…’

Speaking in the Bush Telegraph Fred said: ‘Today, Tony and Josie are going to cook their first breakfast. Breakfast is basically boiled rice. But there is a way to cook the rice.
‘If not, the rice tastes bitter and it’s really unpleasant in the morning, so hopefully they’ll get it right.’
Back in camp he continued: ‘Josie, is the rice cooked? How far are we from…’ before Josie answered: ‘It’s boiling up. It’s still a bit hard.’
Venting her frustrations, she told the camera: ‘Me and Tony are the chefs. He’s a pot wash now. He’s got to give the reins over to me. It’s only me and Tony can fit on that horse. No Fred.’
Meanwhile, sous chef Tony said in the Bush Telegraph: ‘Fred’s going to do what Fred’s going to do. He’s a chef and he’s hovering over us while we’re cooking.
‘I know it’s slightly annoying Josie and I’m telling you, it’ll get a reaction soon enough. Just sit back and enjoy your popcorn and wait for the… [mimics fireworks].’
Yet feeling like she had to speak up, Josie headed to the bus to tell new camp leader Nella: ‘He’s really getting involved all the time.’
Nella replied: ‘My whole thing is, we came to the jungle to have fun and do new experiences and everybody should be able to try new things. If you want to cook…’
‘He’s not cooking anymore and I don’t think he’ll grasp it,’ added Josie.
