Joey Essex faces a Bushtucker Trail

In scenes to air tonight, Joey, 'Emmerdale' star Lucy Pargeter, snooker player Steve Davis and 'Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' star Alfonso Ribeiro board a luxury yacht on the Australian Gold Coast's Mirage Marina where Ant and Dec explained they would be split into two teams of two, Joey and Steve in the red team, and Lucy and Alfonso in the yellow team.

The four celebs had to compete for another night in luxury

They told them they would be given a challenge and the winning team would get to spend an extra night in luxury, whilst the losers would spend the night camping on Stradbroke Island - a local sand island covered with scrub and home to some of Australia's most venomous snakes.

The four stars arrived on the island by jumping out of helicopters where the two teams raced one another to get to three checkpoints.

Joey and the other three stars had to jump out of a helicopter

At each checkpoint there was two campmates. The first team to get there could choose which campmate would join their team. The first team to be complete had one last night in luxury with the losers staying behind and sleeping in a makeshift camp on the island.

After the winning team spent their night in luxury, they then headed back to the jungle, to all face the first Bushtucker Trial along with Joey...

Find out how they got on tonight at 9pm on ITV.

Ten contestants including former Olympic swimming champion Rebecca Adlington, talk show host Matthew Wright, and model Amy Willerton, are to take part in the competition.
