Success! Vernon Kay expertly conquered the Celebrity Cyclone trial on Thursday’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
Although going last, it was Vernon Kay who appeared to get the hang of the trial the quickest with him gliding along the unpredictable terrain.
The TV presenter, 46, sprinted through the set and even managed to hold steady when a dump of water, paint and balls lavished down on the four celebs.
However he was pushed back to the start alongside his campmates after a shock second dumping, leaving just seconds on the clock to make it back to the markers.
The exciting trial started on a high after Giovanna read a scroll out to announcing that they would all be taking part in Celebrity Cyclone.

All four of the remaining contestants started to cheer, with Jordan saying: ‘The Cyclone, this is the one that we all want to do.’
They all then got into their costumes and announced what their ‘cyclone names’ would be.
Shane stood up and said I’m Sir Twice A Knight and Giovanna decided to call herself Lady Hugger. Jordan revealed his name would be Lord of the North and Vernon went with Sir Lanky Lot.
The celebrities then arrived at the task, all dressed up in their medieval knight tunics, and were greeted by hosts Ant & Dec.
