I’m A Celeb fans all say the same thing as Babatunde, George and Chris get just three stars
BOY George, Babatunde Aleshe and Chris Moyles only managed to get three stars as they took in the latest Bushtucker trial.
The public voted on Monday for them to take part in Angel Of Agony, sparing former health secretary Matt Hancock, who had completed six consecutive trials since joining the ITV reality show.
But the trio seriously struggled and ended up returning to camp almost empty handed – leaving some very hungry campmates.
Those watching at home were very unimpressed and joked that Matt should just go back to doing it.
One person tweeted: “Omg how crap were they especially babatunde, i hate to say this but matt would have done better #imaceleb.”
A second added: “Bunch of Losers , get Matt Back !”
While a third said: “3 stars?? EMBARRASSING. They can’t say anything bout Matt loool #imaceleb.”

Ahead of the trial Chris Moyles appeared particularly agitated about taking on the trial and admitted: “I feel absolutely terrified. Agony doesn’t sound fun does it? It’s not ‘Angel of Fun’ it’s ‘Angel of Agony’.”
As they arrived they were met by a grinning Ant and Dec and a structure that resembles the Angel Of The North sculpture in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear.
Ant explained: “This is the Angel of Agony. We’re feeling very at home because it’s loosely based on the legendary Georgie landmark, the Angel of the North.
“You’ll each take a position within the angel and you’ve got to work together as a team to get the stars from the bottom to the top.
“The celebrity at the bottom gets the stars from the hell holes and passes them to the celebrity in the middle.
“The celebrity in the middle then gets the stars through the mesh to the celebrity at the top. “The celebrity at the top must then use their magnet to move the stars into the wings. Every star you get into the wings before the end of time is a meal for camp.”
It was agreed that Boy George would go at the bottom, Babatúndé in the middle and Chris at the top.
Once in position Boy George admitted: “I’m just letting you know I’m pretty nervous.”

They were given 11 minutes for 11 stars, with Dec telling them: “It’s all about teamwork this!”
Culture Club star Boy George began chanting while navigating a box full of critters to find a star before handing it to comedian Aleshe, who apologised profusely for dropping it.
He continued to struggle as Ant exclaimed: “The nation holds its breath!”
Boy George moaned: “They have to get to the top or we’re all going to go hungry!”
As the time ran out it transpired they had won just 3 out of the 11 stars.
Upset Babatúndé said: “Look man, I had butterfingers today. I tried my best. Every time I got near to the top and I tried to pass it to Chris it just dropped. I’m annoyed at myself.”
Later in the Bush Telegraph, he said: “I definitely feel like I let the team down, my campates down… I just couldn’t get the hang of the Trial today.”
Boy George said: “I was proud of myself for overcoming my terror. Then I wanted to cry after.”
