Celebrity... gory bush tucker trial scores nine stars
Arriving for the challenge called Hell-O-Phone, Van Day was quick to knock glamour model Nicola McLean’s performance the previous day.
He said: “I’m ready for it. She (Nicola) got three stars. Oh, what a shame, let’s go for 12.”
Surrounded by three red telephones, Van Day had to answer questions from callers to win stars.
The first phone rang and Van Day answered the phone he heard Phil Tufnell’s voice on the other end of the line.
The first question was: “Who created Sherlock Holmes?” As water started to fill the box, with a host of critters, Van Day screamed the correct answer — Arthur Conan Doyle.
He also correctly answered the second question and identified that “Brangelina” stood for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
But he did not spell “Burglary”, the third question, correctly. “I can’t concentrate,” he screamed.
As he endured the phone box for the three questions he gained a star winning a total of three.
The second phone box contained the voice of Joe Pasquale, as maggots, greenflies and cockroaches were poured onto Van Day’s head.
He correctly answered that lapsang souchong was a type of tea and not a breed of dog and that there are 22 players in a football game but once again, distracted by the critters, he was unable to answer the third question which was 4 x 4 x 4.
Van Day calculated it was wrong. “What are you doing to me, I’ll never work again,” he grimaced.
The third telephone rang and Van Day climbed in, answering the phone to Carol Thatcher.
The box started to sink into the ground and water was pumped inside.
Asked who was the Prime Minister was before Gordon Brown, Van Day correctly answered Tony Blair. He went onto win nine stars and nine meals for camp.
As he arrived back in camp, Van Day received applause — but campers soon started to comment on the smell with WAGs Carly Zucker and McLean holding their noses.
