Gold medallist athlete Fatima Whitbread beat Dougie Poynter from McFly pop band in I’m A Celebrity ‘Rat Run’ Bushtucker Trial.
Making his way to the Bushtucker Trial clearing, Dougie revealed: “ I am just hoping it is not Fatima. She is a gladiator and the one person I fear the most.”
Unfortunately, he came face-to-face with the Olympian at the trial clearing. “Dougie is the one person I thought I would be up against,” she said.
In the competition, the pair had to enter identical mazes, containing six stars buried in boxes beneath the ground. However, there were ten boxes, and only six stars.
They had ten minutes to dig up all six stars, while facing various jungle creatures including cockroaches, rats, spiders, a bandicoot and a giant lizard!
At one stage, Dougie was tying with Fatima on four stars. However, Fatima soon powered ahead and found the remaining two. After struggling to find the exit, she emerged with only seconds to spare, winning food for Snake Rock. She admitted the lizard had worried her most: “It was a huge… you never know if they can get ferocious.”
“I’m feeling really bummed,” said Dougie on his way back to Croc Creek.
Fatima’s campmates congratulated her win. “Winning was a good boost to our camp and I’m really pleased I was able to do that,” she said.
