Boy George struggles to keep it down at I'm A Celebrity's first food trial

Boy George and Matt Hancock take on a food-based bushtucker trial in tonight's show.

I'm A Celebrity will finally be handing the campmates one of its most infamous trials to see whose stomach can handle it. Every year, the food base challenges go down a storm with viewers but not as well with celebs.

Food based challenges have become synonymous with the show, forcing campmates to chow down on everything from witchetty grub to kangaroo parts.

First up to the task are Boy George and Matt Hancock who don't appear to handle the challenge too well. The Culture Club musician received a vegan option due to his dietary preferences but it seems the meal is just as difficult as its meat-based counterpart.

In the first look at tonight's show, Boy George tackles a plate of six fermented plums but they soon get the better of him as he begins to gag and choke. Ant and Dec are on hand to poke fun at the star before he snaps back, stating the obvious that the taste is the issue.

Mr Hancock sits opposite waiting for his turn but Boy George's expression appears to leave him somewhat shell-shocked. The pair have been a hot topic on the show for their status and history but it looks like the public will finally see them struggle later tonight.
