Sinitta was selected by the public yesterday to participate in the I’m A Celeb Bushtucker trial ‘Cable Car-Tastrophe’ and it turned into a nightmare for the shrieking 80s popstar.
The object of the challenge was to find eleven stars inside and outside a cable car hanging over the edge of valley. Sinitta needed to find and release the stars from critter infested boxes and then bring deposit them in a slot in the floor of the cable car within 10 minutes.
But she suffered a panic attack and cried from fear even before her challenge got underway. When she reluctantly began and opened the first box containing cockroaches she screamed: “No…no…I saw…I saw” refusing to collect the star.
When Ant and Dec suggested she open the box above her head in case critters fell out she refused yelling: “No they will all come out”. With the pressure on Sinitta then shrieked on the next box: “I don’t know what it is…I think it is a snake”. The hosts reassured her that the box she had her hand in contained nothing alive. She attempted to get the star but passed squealing: “I can’t do it I am sorry I am freaking out”.
With only three and a half minutes to go Sinitta overcame her fear and retrieved 4 stars from boxes that contained meal worms, green ants by singing to herself: “happy birthday to me”.
Sinitta’s found her final fourth star by balancing outside the cable car mistaking the helmet camera for a bug on her head and managed to climb back in and put the star in the slot in the floor just before the buzzer, but not before the floor collapsing beneath her and dropping down the valley. Dangling in her harness she cried: “Oh god…I am alright”.
Sinitta relieved on winning four meals for camp: “There was a point in there I thought this is not going to happen at all”.
