In a thrilling announcement for reality TV fans, I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! has confirmed the return of a major jungle feature that has been absent for half a decade.
The Return of the Live Trial
The show is set to broadcast its first live trial in five years, breaking a format that has not been seen since 2019. This year's challenge, ominously titled 'Cocktails Of Cruelty', promises to be a brutal test of nerve and stomach for the celebrity contestants.
It is described by insiders as a 'delicious' drinking competition that will push the stars to their absolute limits. The last time viewers witnessed a live trial from the Australian jungle was back in 2019, featuring well-known faces such as Caitlyn Jenner, Roman Kemp, and Ian Wright.
How the 'Cocktails of Cruelty' Trial Works
The mechanics of the challenge are designed for maximum drama. 'Cocktails Of Cruelty' is a head-to-head battle where each celebrity is given the power to select two jungle ingredients that will go into their opponent's drink.
The winner will be the first participant to not only successfully down their uniquely created beverage but also to return their empty glass to the table. This high-pressure scenario is sure to create unforgettable television moments.
A History of Unforgettable Live Moments
The return of the live trial format inevitably brings to mind one of the most shocking moments in the show's history. In 2010, Gillian McKeith, the host of 'You Are What You Eat', famously fainted live on air during a trial.
McKeith later clarified that the incident was a result of a pre-existing medical condition, but the dramatic event remains etched in the memories of long-time viewers. The revival of live trials opens the door for similarly unpredictable and gripping television.
The anticipation is now building for Sunday 23rd November, when the celebrities will face this deliciously cruel challenge head-on, marking a significant and exciting return to a classic element of the hit ITV show.
