McFly star Danny Jones was left horrified when a snake slithered up the leg of his shorts during his first trial on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out If Here!
I’m A Celeb: Ant and Dec joke about snake in Danny’s trousers
I’m A Celebrity star Danny Jones admitted he has never felt so vulnerable in his life as he took part in the first challenge on the show.
Danny found himself in a slippy situation as he rushed to get stars for the camps meals in the Mausoleum of Misery alongside Barry McGuigan. As he lay on the ground struggling to undo padlocks and release stars an array of terrifying looking snakes were dropped into the tomb where he was stuck flat on his back.
The horrified McFly star shouted out “I’ve got a snake up my shorts,” as show hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly erupted into fits of laughter at his predicament. Declan also quipped “That is what’s known here as a trouser snake,” as Danny bravely continued trying to secure stars for the camp while a second snake slithered up his leg.
As the challenge drew to a close Danny frantically pointed at his groin and exclaimed: “Can you get it out of my shorts!” An animal handler then arrived and Danny unzipped his shorts to reveal the enormous snake nestled in his underwear.
Following the trial where he managed to bag five stars for the camp Danny admitted to Ant and Dec: “That’s the most vulnerable I’ve ever felt in my life.” He then added that the experience was even more nerve-wracking than his “first gig with McFly.”
Danny also offered comfort to his team mate Barry who failed to secure any stars for the camp as he missed the mark with the trial. The triumphant pair then returned to the camp to let their fellow contestants know how they had faired in the trial.
Fans have already heaped praise on Danny on social media with many convinced he will be crowned King of the Jungle after his debut episode. One adoring fan posted on X: “Danny Jones King of The Jungle. Mark my words.”
A second fan shared: “Danny Jones… what an amazing, hilarious start! Brilliant!” A third said: “Watching Danny on I’m a celeb is such a joy he’s just having a nice time.”
A fourth social media user wrote: “Danny Jones is honestly the most genuine human being, totally and utterly himself and an absolute joy to watch. His personality is so infectiously warm. Love it.” A fifth quipped: “I pray to one day be reincarnated and come back as snake in Danny Jones’ shorts.”
