AMIR Khan was one of the first celebrities to face the daunting task in the jungle on ITV last night.

The boxer was voted by I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here viewers to take on Critter-Cal Rescue alongside fellow camp mate Georgia Toffolo.

It saw the former champion going under ground and collecting stars by delving his hand into gaps in the cave well.

Unseen to all but him, creepy crawlies – including a large crab and snakes – were hidden behind the hole but he faced his fears with support from presenters Ant and Dec.

However, at one point the Bolton boy accidentally pulling out a snake instead of a star, resulting in a scream of surprise and giggles from the Geordie presenters.

The show premiered on Sunday night and attracted 10.3 million viewers, with a peak of 11.3 million, making it ITV’s biggest show of the year
