Tonight's episode of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! saw new jungle arrivals Iain Lee and Kezia Dugdale make their Bushtucker Trial debut.

And, as it turns out, the brilliantly named 10 Downing Creek did more than introduce the original campmates to the newbies, it also delivered a classic I'm a Celeb twist when the results saw the camp split up into two rival parties.

Yes, that's right, the Jungle officially has its first ever Jungle Prime Minister! Unfortunately though, new Jungle Prime Minister Iain Lee didn't exactly do his best to win over the celebrities.

As the campmates gathered to watch the Trial take place, comedian Iain entered the clearing and quickly made sure to offend every single one of them.

"You lot looked really f**ked," he said. "Sorry, but you look very exhausted."

Needless to say, when the campmates were asked to pick a candidate to back, every single one of them chose to pledge their allegiance to Kez... only to be left disappointed when Iain ultimately smashed the trial.

"This is awkward, isn't it?" Iain said after winning the trial and seeing all the campmates who'd sided with Kez.

Nevertheless, he then had to pick five celebrities to join his political party to ensure he would have the majority in Croc Creek and he ultimately recruited Shappi, Jennie, Stanley, Amir and Dennis to his cause, naming Shappi as his Deputy Prime Minister.

Which means that over in the minority party in Snake Rock, we have Kez, Jamie, Vanessa, Becky and Toff.

The Snake Rock campmates were left disappointed to find they'd be dining on rice and beans (again) and they'll now be sleeping on mats on the floor, as well as having been given a radio that didn't work.

"The mood is subdued down here which I really don't like it so I will try and lift everyone's spirits," Toff said. "But we're still here. Yeah, we're on the floor and yes we're on rice and beans but if you charcoal the rice and beans they're delicious."

For the Croc Creek campmates on the other hand it was business as usual, with the added fun of the Prime Minister and his Deputy now having to allocate the chores in both camps.

Ah, the life of the PM, eh?
