'I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here' returned to our screens last night with a brand new cast of celebrities battling it out for the title of King or Queen of the Jungle.

Holly Willoughby made her debut as host on the show on last night's episode alongside Declan Donnelly and she was amazing.

This is the first time Dec has hosted the show without Ant and it went extremely well.

However, the best part of the show is watching the campmates take part in the dreaded bush tucker trials.

If you missed out on last night's episode, here's what happened.

Dec and Holly met John Barrowman, Sair Khan, Rita Simons and James McVey on a very fancy boat on the Gold Coast of Australia where they were told they'd be split into two teams.

John and Sair were members of the red team while Rita and James were members of the yellow team.

Both teams were then pitched against each other where they would have to fight head to head in a race to decide which team would be sent to the less luxurious camp.

Task 1: The Edge

All four celebrities were taken by helicopter to their first trial which was called 'The Edge', filmed at Tanninaba Falls.

Dec said, "this is the highest challenge we’ve ever had on I’m A Celebrity."

Two towers were built just out from the cliff's edge which the teams had to climb. They were tasked with collecting as many flags as possible.

When both teams completed the task, Holly and Dec revealed which team were the quickest.

The yellow team won (Rita and James).

The winning team were then allowed to choose two members for their own team.

They chose Anne Hegerty and Fleur East which meant Harry Redknapp and Nick Knowles would have to join the losing team (red team).

Task 2: Hell Holes

The two new team mates on each team then had to sit in the front seats of a jeep with one driving and the other leading the way.

Both teams were forced to race up a sandy track to a parking barrier. At the barrier, they had to collect different sized tokens and each token had mud crabs and spiders in them.

The teams then had to insert the tokens into the correct 'hell holes'. Each hell hole contained green ants.

Nick and Harry were the first to complete the task for the red team meaning they had first choice over the next set of team mates.

They were to choose between Emily Atack and Malique Thompson-Dwyer. They chose Malique.

Task 3: Lake Race 

Both teams met Dec and Holly at the edge of a lake where they were told by Holly that the winning team of this particular trial would get the luxury camp while the other would be sent to the less luxurious camp.

Dec then explained that their jungle gear was in the middle of the lake on a pontoon.

Both teams would be given a boat and would have to make their way over to the pontoon and collect their gear and their team flag.

They then had to load the boat with their gear and their flag and make their way over to the opposite side of the lake.

The first to make it to the other side and raise their team flag would win.

The red team won (John, Sair, Harry and Nick).

It was an easy victory for the Red Team, but at least the Yellows had a lovely time #ImACeleb

Camp

The red team arrived at 'Croc Creek'.

Sair and John were delighted with their accommodation while Harry said, "my God, that’s pretty basic isn’t it. There’s not a lot there is there? I must be honest I thought it would be a lot more luxurious than what it is."

The yellow team then arrived at the less luxurious 'Snake Rock'.

Emily remarked, "When I first walked in and I saw the beds on the floor, I had a moment of slight panic."

While Anne got quite emotional and said, "I’m really close to saying I can’t do this."

The red team had emu for dinner while the yellow team lived off rations of rice and beans.

However, one again, Harry wasn't happy with the emu;

"I’ve got to be honest.  I thought there was a caravan round the back here where they were doing bacon sandwiches."
