It was meant to be just another jungle challenge — but for Gemma Collins, things spiralled into chaos, panic, and a dramatic accusation that left viewers stunned.
During the latest episode of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, the 45-year-old reality star was thrown into the terrifying “Creeper Train” trial alongside Jimmy Bullard, going head-to-head with Harry Redknapp and Scarlett Moffatt.
But what started as a competitive showdown quickly turned into a nightmare.
Inside a crocodile-themed carriage, Gemma was suddenly blasted in the face with a revolting mix of slime and bugs — a moment that instantly pushed her to breaking point. Overwhelmed and furious, she gave up the first task, shouting: “Forget it, you’ve won, f*** me guys, that just went straight in my face.”
Although she later forced herself back into the challenge to search for nuggets, it wasn’t enough to secure victory — and the emotional toll had already taken hold.
Moments later, Gemma broke down completely.
“I did my best, I did my best,” she said through tears. “I feel like you’re trying to kill me. You’re going to kill me. It’s, like, not even funny. I feel like you’re definitely trying to kill me.”
Back at camp, she showed off her bruises to Jimmy, insisting she had pushed herself to the limit. Still trying to keep her humour, she quipped: “I’m a Celebrity… get me the f*** out of here.”
Despite the meltdown, fans rallied behind her almost instantly. Social media was flooded with messages of support, with viewers declaring: “Really want Gemma to win,” and even threatening: “If Gemma goes home we boycott.”
Meanwhile, drama continued elsewhere in camp as Seann Walsh faced backlash from viewers who accused him of exaggerating his fears during a separate trial — with some claiming he was “playing up to the cameras” for attention.
But for many, the night belonged to Gemma — a chaotic, emotional rollercoaster that perfectly captured why she remains one of the most unforgettable stars in the show’s history.
