Rebekah Vardy may have been furious to be pulled out of the Bushtucker Trial, but at least Stanley Johnson's first attempt on I'm A Celebrity was worth the wait.

After being ruled out of every challenge so far for medical reasons, the task saw the politician, 77, throw balls into a nearby goal, while strapped to a wheel covered in critters - however he missed every single shot, leaving presenting duo Ant and Dec in stitches.

Stanley participated in the trial with Kezia Dugale instead of Rebekah, as she was pulled on medical grounds, for being too weak to perform.

Not the news she wanted to hear: Rebekah Vardy was furious to be pulled out of the Bushtucker Trial on Wednesday by Medic Bob, who found her blood pressure to be low on I'm A Celeb

It was the first time in the show's history that a constestant had to be pulled out before attempting the trial.

She said: 'I'm absolutely devastated that I couldn't do the trial with Stanley (Johnson). I feel like I let the team down this morning.'

The brave brunette had previously complained about feeling lethargic, and when checked over by Medic Bob, it was confirmed that her blood pressure was low.

It gave Kezia Dugdale the opportunity to step up for her first official Bushtucker Trial - but the camp were set for disappointment when she and Stanley could achieve only five out of 11 stars for camp.

Oh dear: The task sees the politician, 77, throw a ball into a nearby goal, while strapped to a wheel covered in critters - however he misses every single shot, to the hilarity of the hosts

Former Conservative MEP Stanley was strapped to a large wheel covered with critters, and has to locate balls among the creepy crawlies to throw into a nearby goal.

However, throwing was not Stanley's strong point, as he proceeded to miss every single shot in the short time limit - to the delight of Ant and Dec.

After failing in his first few attempts, Ant quipped: 'It's like watching England play penalties,' at which Dec adds: 'No, its worse!'

Not good: Stanley has to locate balls among the crawlies to throw into a nearby goal - but it seems throwing is not his strong point, as he proceeds to miss every single shot in the time

Although he has less than half the time left, the politician refuses to rush his remaining attempts - with Dec joking: 'There's no sense of urgency is there!'

Despite the presenters' constant encouragement, Stanley still landed every shot far away from his target, causing the Geordie presenters to erupted into hysterical laughter as the clock runs out.

Aware of his mishap however, Stanley simply said in his usual witty style: 'This must be a world record of misses... it's not as easy as you might think!'

Stanley was voted to do the trial on Tuesday night - no doubt because it is the first challenge he has been medically approved to take part in.

However, the father of Boris Johnson did show promise when he competed in the live team trial on Monday, and wolfed down three witchetty grubs with ease.
