He faced backlash after he chickened out of his first Bushtucker Trial on Monday night.

And now Amir Khan's pregnant wife Faryal Makhdoom couldn't help but tease her other half following his squeal-filled appearance in front of the nation, quitting the challenge after grabbing a snake on Twitter.

The former boxing champ, 30, hilariously panicked within minutes of starting the challenge called Critter-cal Rescue alongside Georgia 'Toff' Toffolo - who was locked in a box underground - and it seems his second attempt will be just as disastrous.

Following Monday night's task, Amir's agent contacted I'm A Celebrity this morning to tell bosses he's 'really scared' of snakes following his trial.

The British boxer hit the headlines on Tuesday after a photograph emerged of him with a snake wrapped around his neck at a past event but, despite looking calm and collected in the shot.

Yet, he surprised viewers with his screams during the first challenge as he screeched at producers to get him out after he picked up a slithery reptile while hunting for a key - sparking rumours he's lied about his fears.

Get him out of there! Amir has been accused of FAKING fear of snakes after a 2011 picture of him posing with a giant Burmese python emerged

No match: Despite his tough reputation, Amir had to pull out of the Bushtucker Trial on IAC, as his fear of snakes proved to be too much for him to handle

Bold: But the snake handler Amir posed with back in 2011 has since said he WAS scared but put on a brave face for the camera - (pictured trying to get through the task)

But his management team contacted organisers of the creepy-crawly series to confirm that the sportsman genuinely has a fear of snakes and his reaction was real.

Speaking on Tuesday's instalment of This Morning, Alison Hammond said: 'His agent actually contacted the show and said he's really scared of snakes. As soon as you don't want it there, you can just say get it off me.

'When you're in there with a snakes, it's actually quite scary.'

Following claims he faked his fear, Georgie Leahy - the woman who owns the albino Burmese python Slinky in the picture - said she remembers Amir being scared.

Terrified: The 30-year-old gave up on the challenge after being faced with his biggest fear, snakes - therefore leaving the entire camp without food for 24 hours

Awkward: Realising Amir really didn't know what he had signed up for, Ant laughed: 'You really haven't seen the show before have you? We don't take it easy on you'

She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: 'I remember him being a bit scared of Slinky, and one of the guys was like, no, do it, you've got to get a picture.

'I do remember he was scared - he doesn't look it in the picture. You can tell Slinky really likes him because he's got his tongue out.

Adding: 'Slinky was really excited to meet him. Most of the time because Slinky loves me so much he'd come back to me, but in this picture he's going right for Amir!'
