I’m A Celebrity Unveils Contestant Facing Shocking Challenge with Toads and Crocodiles
The latest episode of I’m A Celebrity has brought forward another terrifying challenge for contestant Jack Osbourne. This time, he will face the daunting “Drown The Hatch” task, which involves navigating through eight rusty manholes. These manholes will be filled with what show producers have ominously described as “fearsome things,” including toads and crocodiles.
Jack Osbourne Takes on “Drown The Hatch”
The announcement was made during the spin-off show, Unpacked, hosted by Joel Dommett. Osbourne, 40, is not new to intimidating challenges; he previously participated in the “Dreaded Dunnies” task. As he prepares for this new ordeal, fans have voiced mixed feelings about his capability in the trial.
Fan Reactions and Expectations
- Some viewers believe Jack will excel, citing his composed nature even in fear-inducing situations.
- Others expressed concern for his mental well-being, especially after he recently mourned the loss of his father, rock legend Ozzy Osbourne.
- A portion of fans voted for him, believing he would thrive in this trial.
Host Joel Dommett shared that Osbourne’s calm demeanor would serve him well in the challenge. Co-host Kemi Rodgers also showed her support, claiming he “attacks everything in the jungle with a sense of calmness.”
Weather Challenges for Campmates
Compounding the pressure, the camp recently faced severe weather conditions. Heavy rain and hailstones delayed filming by three hours, forcing all 12 campmates, including model Kelly Brook and rapper Aitch, to seek refuge in the Bush Telegraph. The storm dropped 50mm of rain on Dungay, New South Wales, causing chaos for the camp’s logistics.
