I’M A Celeb star Craig Charles had a nasty turn in the latest bushtucker trial as he vomited up a mouthful of maggots.

The 61-year-old took on the Retching Ball challenge with fellow campmate David Haye in a bid to earn food for camp.

Craig and David – who hilariously went by team name ‘Craig David’ after the Brit artist – were strapped into a revolving ball while having to answer questions directed at them by Ant and Dec.

Cuddly toys were thrown at them with a number on, with the duo having to come up with the corresponding amount of answers to a set category.

Being a bushtucker trial, the pair were also not alone in the ball cage, as creepy crawlies were dumped on them to add to their distress.

Following a dumping of maggots on the duo, David Haye cried out ‘I’ve got maggots in my mouth’ and it wasn’t long before co-star Craig began retching and spewing.

Host Ant then asked how Craig was doing with regards to the ‘nausea’, with Craig ploughing on but admitting he was a “bit shook”.

Ant then joked that if he was sick, his vomit would land on both of them given the rotating ball.

“If I am, I’ll be looking at him when I do it,” he quipped back, getting a laugh from the I’m A Celebrity hosts.

David and Craig carried on for another round, securing another star for camp, but the momentum seemed to catch up with the latter.

Craig then threw up, with Ant quipping “Oh I think we’ve had a vomit.”

“Now Craig you’ve just worked out why it’s called the wretching ball,” he added.

“I certainly have,” a disheartened Craig said. “Have you got anymore games where I don’t have to be sick on them.”

Despite his sickness, he kept going but he ended up being sick again in the final round where they were asked to name Adele songs.

Craig looked delighted when time was up and he and David were removed from the retching ball to learn how they fared.

“That was not pleasant, I just kept vomiting,” Craig said, adding. “I get sick on the waltzers.”

Nevertheless, the determined duo secured seven out of a possible 11 stars in total and were pleased with their result.
