Former Dr Who Colin Baker became the fourth contestant to leave the I’m A Celebrity jungle aftre losing out to Eric Bristow in the “Panic Rooms” trial.
The duo were told that they each had to choose a female celebrity to join them and take part in the Trial.
Eric immediately chose Rosemary Shrager whilst Colin picked Charlie Brooks.
Ant and Dec then explained the trial. “There are two panic rooms and each is identical, one wall in each room is covered in hell holes, each of these holes contains stars as well as a few surprises. Inside each room is a collection box and you will have five minutes to find as many stars as you can and deposit them in a box.” With every star counting towards jungle survival, there were also eight possible large stars in there which would count as dinners. The hellholes were also filled with snakes, crocs, lizards, crabs, yabbies, cockroaches, and scorpions among other critters.
Charlie and Rosemary went first and as they put their hands into the holes, each of the two women were squealing away and perspiring, observed by their partners Colin and Eric from a platform at the back of the panic room.
At the end Eric said: “Rosemary, to the day I die, I will remember that. I have been watching a screaming lunatic.”
The men were calmer, even when Eric was nipped by a frisky snake, “He doesn’t like me and he’s had a wee in here.”
He was encouraged and hugely supported by Rosemary saying, “You are a hero, incredible, you are doing brilliantly I can’t believe it.”
Colin was nipped several times by a crab, “Ow! Get off, he’s fighting for his territory, it was huge and every time I went in, it attacked me.” Colin also picked up a scorpion and was bitten several times by what he thought was a ‘prickly snake’. “The crab kept coming at me”, he said.
All the stars collected were kept in the collection boxes which were weighed live show, but between the two teams a total of five dinner stars were retrieved.
Colin’s stars were emptied on to the scale, recording a weight of 82 grams.
However, Eric’s total weight came to a whopping 262 grams meaning he was the clear cut winner.
Lasting 16 days in the camp, Colin made his farewells to his fellow campers who all seemed very sad to see the actor go, but happy that Eric had survived
Colin was jovial as he made his way over the bridge, a lighter man than when he first entered the jungle. And as he sat down with Ant and Dec he made it clear that it was ‘a completely happy camp.’
He told the presenter duo, “we all have our moments but we were starving and no one would tell us the football scores!”
Talking about his bond with Rosemary, the 69-year-old could not have been more complementary saying, “she’s a type that rarely exists anymore”.
Whilst Colin went off to enjoy his first luxury breakfast in just over two weeks, the other campers must brace themselves for the fifth eviction taking place today. Hugo Taylor, David Haye, Ashley Roberts, Helen Flanaghan, Charlie Brooks, Rosemary and Eric are the remaining celebrities.
