I’m A Celebrity medics were called into action after Coleen Rooney had a critter stuck in her ear during Wednesday’s episode, following a Bushtucker Trial.
The WAG, 38, was joined by Danny Jones, Richard Coles, and GK Barry, as they took part in the ‘Arcade of Agony,’ where they had to operate a grab machine filled with balls.
Each ball they grabbed contained a number of tickets that they could deposit into the ticket collection box.
In order to operate the machine, they needed a coin which they had to retrieve from a box of fish guts.
For this challenge, they had just ten minutes to try and win as many tickets as possible.
The two celebrities with the most tickets at the end of the Trial would go through to the final round and they’d be one step closer to winning the ticket to Cyclone.

The 38-year-old WAG was joined by Danny Jones, Richard Coles (pictured), and GK Barry, as they took part in the ‘Arcade of Agony,’ where they had to operate a grab machine filled with balls
As part of the Bushtucker Trial, the celebs had to navigate grab boxes filled with critters, with each ball containing a star for camp, which equaled one meal for the camp.
As the klaxon sounded, Coleen was off to a strong start and became the first celebrity to retrieve a coin and play the grab machine, securing a ball and a handful of tickets.
Danny quickly followed suit, grabbing a star in his first ball, securing a meal for camp
However, Coleen’s competitive spirit led to a small mishap as she moved so quickly that she accidentally dropped some of the tickets she had won into the coin slot instead of the ticket collection box
Meanwhile, GK, who was covered in critters, struggled to win balls from the grabber as she said: ‘Oh my god, they’re in my pants!’
Hoping to reinforce the aim of the Trial, Ant and Dec started chanting: ‘Coins and balls and tickets and stars!’
Coleen was next to find a star in one of the balls, as Richard got coached by Ant: ‘Your technique’s not great, you’ve really got to be over the top of the ball to grab it.’
As time was up, she emerged from her grabbing booth in a state of shock, shouting: ‘I’ve got one in my ear!’

Ant watching on said: ‘Oh my god! It just jumped out!’
Asking how she found the Trial, GK replied: ‘I would like to never do that again.’
As Coleen and Danny won a star for camp, it meant they had two out of a possible four meals for camp.
As they headed back to camp, Ant said to Dec: ‘I’m not quite sure Richard understood it!’
