Jill Scott needed the help of a medic to remove a cockroach stuck in her ear after volunteering to take part in a Bushtucker trial on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!.

The former England footballer had put herself forward alongside Owen Warner and Mike Tindall to complete a series of fairground-inspired challenges on Thursday’s instalment of the juggernaut ITV series.

The trio were strapped into spinning devices as they attempted to work together, with the sports star starting by releasing colourful balls from a tombola-shaped cage full of insects.

But during the Unlucky dip challenge, the 35-year-old, who was part of the Women’s Euro 2022 winning team, told hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly: ‘I’ve got a cockroach stuck in my ear.’

As the medic rushed to get it out, Jill said: ‘Come to the jungle they said, it would be fun.’

After the doctor squits water in her ear, Jill replied: ‘It’s in my brain now.’

It comes 11 years after Olympic gold medallist Fatima Whitbread famously got a cockroach stuck up her nose after enduring a time-trial wearing a plastic helmet full of critters on the ITV reality show.

Ant, 46, joked: ‘Jill, that was bigger than the one Fatima Whitbread had up her nose.’

Meanwhile, on the Critter Carousel, Mike collected the balls and threw them at Owen who was being repeatedly turned upside down over a trough of water.

As his head was submerged again and again on the Fiendish Ferris Wheel, the Hollyoaks actor shouted: ‘There’s no need for this.’

The Geordie duo urged him to hurry up, laughing and responding: ‘Owen, get looking for balls.’

Each colour corresponded to a different campmate and at the end of the challenge, all the balls were thrown into a tombola for a chance to win a surf ‘n’ turf barbecue and beach day.

Owen had the most number of balls in the mix with 10, while Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver had only two balls – having picked the performer to have an extra ball over herself the previous day.

However, it was Sue, alongside Jill and former health secretary Matt Hancock who were drawn at random to receive the luxury prize.

The trio headed off in a helicopter for their beach BBQ day where Hancock volunteered to cook a selection of shrimps, sausages and steak.

I’m A Celebrity continues at 9pm tomorrow on ITV.
