Louise Minchin faced her fears as she was locked inside a cockroach infested coffin  in upcoming scenes from Monday night's I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! trial.

The BBC Breakfast presenter, 53, was joined by Kadeena Cox, 30, who tackled snakes during the gruesome Critter-cal Cages.

As soon as the claxon rang, the gold medallist darted into a chamber where she untied keys while slithering snaked swept their way over a wall of shelves.

Meanwhile the newsreader called out, 'You go Kadeena!'' while presenter Declan Donnelly observed, 'That's it, nice, slow and calm. Well done.'

Kadeena proceeded to use her finding to open a small chest, which spurted a heap of creepy-crawlies into Louise's casket - along with the highly-coveted star.

Arlene Phillips was the first celebrity to be eliminated from camp on Sunday night.

The public vote meant that the choreographer, 78, was sent packing after 13 days in the camp, leaving her emotional campmates at Gwrych Castle behind.

When asked by Ant and Dec on her exit how she was feeling, Arlene, the oldest celebrity in the show's history to take part, said: 'Relieved, but emotional because of everything this has been.'

After explaining to the show's long-running presenters that the venture was for her granddaughters, she added: 'It brings out a lot of emotion and makes you think about your life.'

In answer to the classic question 'who do you want to win', the former Strictly Come Dancing judge named DJ Naughty Boy.

Eliminations usually begin after 10 days but the format has been altered following Richard Madeley's abrupt departure.

The series was also temporarily taken off-air due to Storm Arwen, much to the dismay of viewers.
