What happened on I'm a Celebrity South Africa? Episode 7 recap

Tonight's episode of I'm a Celebrity South Africa opened with the campmates reeling from the news that they'd be voting out one of their fellow contestants for the next savage elimination. Amir Khan quickly piped up, however, saying that he'd be happy to go home and was missing his family.

After each of the celebs had their say in the Bush Telegraph they headed to bed, dreading the elimination news in the morning – and it's safe to say that none of them slept well that night!

The next morning, Ant and Dec arrived and announced that Amir – who had just been on toilet-emptying duty with Phil Tufnell – would be the next person leaving the camp. After saying his goodbye and some tears from Paul Burrell, Amir said that he'd had "one of the best experiences" of his life on the show and that it was better than his time in the Australian jungle, which is quite the achievement considering there weren't any strawberries for him to scoff this time.

Back in camp, the celebrities started chatting about Coronation Street storylines, resulting in a discussion about coercive control.

"What I love about this camp is that one minute you can be talking about your favourite pizza topping and how many scoops of ice cream you can have when you get out, and the next minute you can be talking about some really heavy-hitting subjects," Myleene Klass said.

Later in the day, Carol Vorderman was chosen to take on Tanks of Torment and picked Fatima Whitbread to do the challenge with her. The trial required the Countdown star to swim underwater and unscrew stars from a tank, popping up through various portholes to take in air. Admitting that she has a fear of drowning, Carol struggled throughout the challenge, telling Fatima: "I'm really not happy about this."

Despite stopping before the final tank, Carol managed to bag seven out of 10 stars for camp. Meanwhile, Paul was teaching his fellow campmates how to curtsy properly, being most impressed by Helen Flanagan's skills. "It's a 10 from me," he said.

It was then time for new recruits Dean Gaffney and Joe Swash to enter camp, being welcomed in with an eating challenge: Flipping Disgusting. They each were given the chance to win individual campmates a treat by drinking a vile concoction and Dean was up first, taking on blended cow vagina to win Helen some lemonade.

Unfortunately, the actor was immediately sick after taking a first sip but was able to win the treat by finishing off the rest. "Do it like a shot, like a Jäger," Joe said whilst coaching him through. Joe was next, drinking blended maggots to win Phil some wine gums and despite gagging throughout, he managed to drink the thick liquid.

As for how the pair did in the rest of the trial, we'll have to tune in tomorrow night to find out just how many treats they won!
