ITV has introduced a new rule for this year’s series, meaning individual contestants cannot be voted to do every bushtucker trial for numerous days in a row.
Show bosses said the new rule, which will mean celebrities can do “two in a row and you miss a go”, has been created to “give all campmates the opportunity to shine”.
Viewers voted for DJ Dean McCullough to do trials six times in a row in last year’s series, while Hancock also did six trials in a row in 2022.
The gruesome trials often require celebrities to eat delicacies like kangaroo anus, crocodile penis and sheep semen, or be trapped with creatures such as snakes, cockroaches and rats.
Being repeatedly nominated for trials has taken its toll on some celebrities in the past. Gillian McKeith appeared to faint after she was voted to do her seventh trial in 2010.
