Away From Reality - Jack Maynard - IM A CELEBRITY - COMPLETE

Toxic Trauma

"Let's do it, baby!" I cheer, holding both my hands out, giving him two high-fives and a hug. Tapping my head, he throws his hat onto his own bed, following me to the path. "Wish us two luck!"

"Good luck!" They all beam.

"It's nice to get out of camp with you J," I smile. "Just us two,"

"I mean, I bet you're looking forward to it." Jamie teases, tickling my side before we reach the bridge, "but anyway, let's rock this trial and bring back all 5 stars!"

Holly P.O.V

"Hello you two," Dec smiles, spotting Jamie and I pushing through the overgrown brambles and coming out to the trial clearing. "How are you both?"

"Good," I say. "It's weird there's only 5 of us in camp now."

"It must feel small."

Jamie nods. "It is, but yeah the 5 of us left, there's a good bunch of us."

"Well that's good," Ant grins. "So, do you want to hear what the trial is?"

Giving a nod, looking over the clearing to see 8 different black barrels with the scientific toxic warning signs on the side, there is also a glass funnel into a tube leading underground and a wall with holes across the sides.

"This is 'Toxic Trauma'. Now in this challenge, there is a glass box under the ground, with 5 stars on the side, marking in equal intervals. One celebrity will stand in the box, and the other will stay above ground, searching for the keys in the wall. Each key will have a number on, matching one of the barrels in front of you. The celebrity up here will use the keys to unlock the barrel and scoop the remains into the funnel that will fill the box underground. The further you fill the box, the more stars you will get."

Giving a nod, Ant tells us, "Jamie, you will be the celebrity in the box. Holly, you will stay above ground searching for the keys. Clear?"

"Clear."

"Well then, Jamie lets get you in the box."

Giving Jamie the thumbs up and a wave as he's taken away by two rangers, I'm passed a pair of goggles and a bucket to move the contents of the barrels to the funnel. "So, Jamie is in position. Are you ready Holly?"

Walking over to the wall, and placing my hand on the mesh of the first hole, I give a nod, and our 10 minutes starts at the sound of the first clackson. Delving my hand through the mesh, I search around the box frantically, knowing exactly what the bugs are when a burning sensation tingles up my hand. "These stupid green ants!"

Feeling a star, I pull it out and read the number 2. Using the key attached and running over to the corresponding barrel so big it reaches up to my chest, I open the lid and throw it on the floor, instantly being struck with an awful stench. "That's disgusting."

Eyeing up the fish guts, I throw my bucket into the organs, scooping as much up as I can. But they're connected with ligaments and tendons, causing all of them to fall out when I lift it. Using my hands to shovel the slosh, I run the bucket over to the funnel, tipping out the first lot of guts.
