Danny Jones Faces Snake Mishap on I’m A Celebrity Debut

An Unexpected Jungle Welcome for McFly Star

The jungle trials on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! are notorious for their challenges, but Danny Jones got more than he bargained for on his first day in camp. The McFly musician entered the jungle on 17 November, facing his fears in a way few contestants have before.

From Skydives to Snakes: Danny’s Eventful Arrival

Danny’s jungle journey began with a stomach-turning cocktail challenge. After the challenge, he boarded a helicopter for a dramatic skydive onto the beach. Teaming up with boxing legend Barry McGuigan, the duo faced their first trial, aptly named the Mausoleum of Misery.

Hosts Ant and Dec revealed that the challenge involved sharing a confined space with 15 snakes. For Danny, however, the stakes—or snakes—quickly became all too real.

Snake in His Shorts: A Jungle Nightmare

The trial had just started. One of the snakes slithered into Danny’s shorts. This prompted the star to yell, “I’ve got a snake up my shorts!” The moment left Ant and Dec in fits of laughter. Dec jokingly called the intruder a “trouser snake.”

The situation escalated when Danny made a desperate plea. He uttered eight words that forced the crew to intervene: “Can you get it out of my shorts?” An animal handler swiftly stepped in to remove the snake, ensuring the challenge could continue safely.

Triumph Over Trials: Danny Wins Big

Despite the unexpected snake encounter, Danny managed to secure all five stars for his team, while Barry McGuigan left empty-handed. Remarkably, Danny avoided uttering the iconic phrase, “I’m a celebrity, get me out of here!”, showing impressive resilience under pressure.

After the trial, Danny admitted the experience was the most vulnerable he had ever felt. It was even more stressful than his debut performance with McFly.

Fans Rally Behind Danny as Jungle Favorite

Danny’s jungle antics have already made him a fan favorite. Viewers took to social media to praise his efforts, with one declaring, “Danny Jones for King of the Jungle 2024!” Another commented on the unexpected hilarity of the situation. “I never thought I’d see Danny Jones pull down his shorts.” He showed his ‘trouser snake’ to the nation. “But here we are,” the viewer concluded.
