Babatúndé Aléshé has called the public 'evil' as he faces his first Bushtucker trial.

In the first episode, he was challenged to walk to the edge of the plank 334ft in the air but backed out while White and former England footballer Jill Scott completed the task.

The comedian took on Horrifying Heights, after revealing he has a fear of heights.

The public voted for Babatúndé to take part in the trial after he failed to complete his first challenge ahead of entering the jungle.

The comedian reacted to the public voting for him to face a Bushtucker Trial called Horrifying Heights, calling them "evil".

Speaking to hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, he said: “Because they’re evil.

“I clearly proved to them that I don’t like heights.”

However, despite his fears, he earned 9 out of 9 stars, getting 9 meals for the camp.

The I’m A Celebrity… launch episode on Sunday night saw 10 new famous faces enter the Australian jungle for the first time since 2019, after the show was shot at Gwrych Castle in North Wales for the past two years due to Covid-19 travel restrictions.

Matt Hancock, 44, is expected to join them in the coming days after spending a period of time in isolation.

I'm A Celeb continues on Wednesday at 9pm on ITV.
