Holly and Harry the real jungle winners

- BY MARK JEFFERIES

HOLLY Willoughby successful­ly completed a Bushtucker Trial when she braved the wind, water cannons and giant bouncing balls of Celebrity Cyclone.

The presenter joined Scarlett Moffatt, Joe Swash and Joel Dommett on ITV2’S Extra Camp for the challenge.

Afterwards Holly, 37, couldn’t stop smiling and said: “It was amazing, I loved that.”

The trial involves climbing up a hill carrying a giant foam star to a certain point while being hit by high-pressure water cannons, gale-force winds and giant balls.

All four contestant­s had to be in their correct positions on the hill at the same time to succeed.

Earlier, on the main ITV show, viewers saw John, Emily, Harry and Fleur complete a similar trial. But John couldn’t fully take part because of his sprained ankle and instead had to throw stars to the other campmates.

Holly has been standing in for Ant Mcpartlin this year, alongside Declan Donnelly.

Before flying out to Australia, she had insisted she wouldn’t do any trials, and revealed how she is scared of bugs, snakes and spiders. She attempted to do a Bushtucker Trial on This Morning in mid-november, putting her hands into boxes to identify what was inside.

She screamed a lot and Dec joked: “She was worse than Gillian Mckeith! What the heck are we in for!?”

Asked what her worst trial would be, Holly said: “The eating one, I could never do it.”
