I'm a Celebrity has had the campmates earning their everyday essentials with a stomach-churning trial involving pig testicles and fish eyes.

"Jungle life is about to get very expensive," hosts Ant and Dec announced to the campmates, telling them they'd be using money for pretty much everything, from I'm a Celeb luxuries like chocolate to basic needs, like going to the toilet, having a shower and paying for their camp dinner.
With such a responsibility on their shoulders, Alan, Danny and Dean had to muster all their courage to go through the four races within the three-minute window for each.
The first challenge saw them removing raw pig testicles from a box using their mouths, while the second task asked the leaders to find some coins hidden in a container full of fish guts.
Fish again was at the centre of the third race, as the trio had to use their mouths once more to squeeze juice out of fish eyes to fill up a glass to the brim. Finally, the fourth trial had them put their hands into a 'hell hole' filled with critters to unscrew three coins as quickly as possible.
