I'm A Celebrity's Georgia Toffolo hailed a hero by viewers after 'freak out' during trial

Georgia Toffolo was hailed as a hero by mightily impressed I'm A Celebrity viewers on Wednesday night, as she recovered from a 'freak out' to smash her first All Stars trial.

One of only two winners on the new ITV series so far, along with former King of the Jungle, Phil Tufnell, Made in Chelsea star and 2017 I'm A Celebrity champion Toff was one of a trio of new arrivals to arrive in South Africa on Wednesday night's show, alongside Myleene Klass and 2019 runner up Andy Whyment.

The celebs in the main camp were informed of the three's imminent arrival by a letter, with them then having to choose which one of them hey wanted to do the next trial on their behalf. After a 5-5 deadlock between Andy and Toff, the result was decided by a game of rock paper scissors between Amir Khan and Jordan Banjo, with Toff coming out on top.

She seemed well up for the challenge and made light work of the first few stars she got in the rather gruesome Dreaded Drain trial, before things took a turn when a trap door she was crawling along flew open, plunging her down into the dark and water below.

As she tried to get her bearings again, Georgia begged for help from Ant and Dec, before soldiering on to try and pull a load of fat from a tunnel. Doubting herself, Toff then shouted: "Guys, I'm really freaking out, It's really claustrophobic down here!"

Toff found the determination to keep going as more obstacle came her way and, despite telling Ant and Dec she was "not OK," once the trial had finished, she managed to bag a fantastic eight stars. And viewers at home were just as impressed as the hosts, with one tweeting: "Toff is just so matter of fact doing the trials. Just like she was last time, go Toff," with another reacting: "Toff smashed that trial. She is an absolute I'm A Celebrity, jungle trial warrior."
