He shrieks in disgust as slurry and insects are poured onto his head, with comedian Walsh following close behind him.
In the clip, Hancock is seen complaining: "Urgh...that's a load of slurry just poured on my head."
Hosts Ant and Dec give cheeky grins and begin laughing as Hancock shouts out in panic "I can't find any stars" – as Ant gives a time call that just one minute has passed.

Walsh is also shown snapping at Hancock who is supposed to be leading the trial, but wants Walsh to decide what to do.
Hancock asks: "Which way do you want me to go?"
Walsh, behind him in the pitch black and following him, repeats: "Which way do I want you to go?"
Hancock says: "Well I don't mind!"
Walsh snaps at him: "I'm not a sat nav, I don't know."
Many of the show's viewers have vowed to vote for Hancock to do every trial in outrage at his decision to join the reality TV show.
In Tuesday's episode, the pair's arrival in camp was confirmed with an introductory video showing them explaining why they wanted to enter the jungle.
Hancock said: "When I'm in camp, people will just see the real me. Survival in the jungle is a good metaphor for the world I work in.
"People will see me warts and all, will see the human side of the guy behind the podium."
But his attempt to be relatable seems to have backfired already as viewers were disgusted by a close-up shot of his smile, branding it "blood curdling" and "creepy".
I'm A Celebrity will show the full trial, with Hancock and Walsh's entry to camp, tonight at 9pm on ITV.
