I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star Tulisa Contostavlos revealed exactly what it's like to eat a spider during Saturday, 30 November's episode.

Together with Reverend Richard Coles, the N-Dubs rapper volunteered to take part in the latest Bushtucker Trial after Loose Women's Jane Moore became the first individual to leave this year's jungle camp.

Halfway through her gnarly menu, Contostavlos encountered a plate of huntsman spiders and plonked two of them in her mouth before chewing down.

"Ohhh nooo!" she screamed after the dead arachnids were presented to her, with Coles then urging her to not think about what she's putting in her mouth.

Egging herself on, Contostavlos kept repeating "It is what it is!" as I'm a Celebrity presenters Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly sat across from her in horrified anticipation.

Once the campmate had gobbled down her eight-legged snacks, Donnelly said he was "interested to know about this one" in terms of the experience.

"Horrible, just disgusting. There was a pop, there was juices, it was creamy!" replied Contostavlos, who would later inform GK Barry that all of the legs were "flickering around with the cream" whilst she desperately tried to get the whole thing over with.

"That's the worst information you've ever told me, ever," stated Barry. "That's ruined my day that information."

Meanwhile, Contostavlos and Coles also had to eat fermented mudfish and duck eggs, bull's tongue, sheep's testicles, goat's penis, cow's nose, mice feet and tails, and a camel's vagina if they wanted all 11 stars for the camp's evening feast.

Having done so, they went on to request kangaroo as the meat to go with their greens.

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
