Tony Bellew gets mouthful of pig testicle on I’m a Celebrity and is placed in camp with Nigel Farage after calling him a ‘maniac’
Tony Bellew had a not-so-tasty start to life on I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, but things could get tasty between him and Nigel Farage.
Along with racing legend Frankie Dettori, Bellew was a late arrival in the jungle, but was thrown straight into the deep end on Thursday night's episode with his own Bush Tucker Trial.
They were up against each other as they had to make their way through an obstacle course... while holding pig testicles in their mouths.
Former WBC cruiserweight champion Bellew boasted a professional boxing record of 30-3-1 but has a Bush Tucker trial record of 0-1 as the nimble Dettori came out the victor.
The result means Bellew is part of the 'Away Camp', who receive smaller and lower quality food supplies and camp amenities.
It also means he'll share camp with former UKIP and Brexit Party leader Farage, and the pair have history.

In November 2022, Farage posted a video on Twitter with the caption: "According to the ONS figures, London, Manchester and Birmingham are now all minority white cities."
Bellew responded: "Why does someone's colour matter? Who cares if you're white, black, yellow or pink? All that matters is are they good or no good people!
"Learn to see people for who they are and not what they look like! It's cos of people like you that racism still exists! Absolute maniac you are!"
So far there's been no sign of a rumble in the jungle between Bellew and Farage, but Bellew is finding it difficult to adjust to camp life.

Receiving a measly portion of beans, the 40-year-old decided it wasn't for him and even spat out some of the food he initially tried.
Bellew has some fight on his hands.
