The highly anticipated Celebrity Cyclone trial has finally arrived on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and it did not disappoint. As the four remaining contestants, Danny Jones, Reverend Richard Coles, Coleen Rooney, and Oti Mabuse, tackled the water-based obstacle course on Saturday, December 7, viewers couldn’t help but feel a pang of jealousy.
Fans took to social media to express their enthusiasm for the challenge, with many declaring it their favorite part of the show. One fan tweeted: “The one sole purpose of watching I’m A Celeb is finally here: Come on Cyclone.” Another added: “Celeb Cyclone is my favourite every year.”
However, amidst the excitement, some fans couldn’t help but feel a little left out. One viewer suggested: “They need to open a Celebrity Cyclone experience where the public can pay to do this…”
Another fan confessed: “If I had one wish in life or something to do on my bucket list it would definitely be Celebrity Cyclone.”, reports the Express. A third simply stated: “I’d bloody love to play Celebrity Cyclone.”
As the campmates geared up for their trial and met I’m A Celeb hosts Ant and Dec, they were greeted with a compliment: “You all look pretty fabulous!” The duo also let on why Oti was shining in gold; she had nabbed the golden ticket to partake in the legendary trial after triumphing in Ticket to Cyclone. Overjoyed, she expressed to Ant and Dec: “This is the dream, this is why I hit the gold buzzer, for this!”
Dec seized a moment to extend an apology to Richard, who has done many food and drink trials, saying: “I feel like we haven’t got anything for you to eat or drink! I feel really rude!” To which Richard humorously retorted: “I’m gonna eat the Cyclone, that’s what I’m gonna do!”
Following their successful four-star haul, Ant and Dec enquired if they genuinely relished the trial. Danny didn’t hold back his enthusiasm: “Every minute! I wanna do it again.”
Coleen drew a delightful comparison after the challenge, mentioning: “It reminded me of a sunny day in the Rooney back garden! Slip and slide.” This prompted Danny’s invite query: “Can we come?”
When quizzed about their strategy, Danny unveiled his personal approach: “The Purple Python is only comfortable slithering on his tummy!”
