I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here - A Night Away From Camp

I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here - Gino and Sabrina were given the chance to take part in a special overnight challenge to win a celebrity chest for the camp mates.  They had to trek, walk across a tightrope and then stay awake all night in order to win treats for camp.

Sabrina wasn’t sure about going but Gino was looking forward to a night away from camp and sending some time with Sabrina.

They walked out of the jungle camp and after trekking for some time, came across a tree with a sign on it.  It read "Celebrities, you now face the first part of your challenge.  You must cross the ravine in front of you by walking the tightrope.  If you make it to the other side you will be able to start the second part of your challenge.  If you fail, you will return to camp with nothing and will have failed the challenge."

The two reacted badly to the challenge.  "This is crazy," said Gino whilst Sabrina said that she was terrified of heights.  Gino was first to traverse the tight rope, clinging on, looking ahead and listening to Sabrina’s support.  He said: "When I first got on I was nearly sick. I started thinking of all sorts of things in my mind. Recipes, food."  But he made it across the ravine in one piece.

Sabrina was next. She explained: "At first it was fine because it was quite steady but nearer to the middle it started shaking, wobbling.  It seemed like I was up there forever.  This experience is making me fearless of anything.  I’m like bring it on.  Heights, I’m over it!"

The two walked further and presently came to their temporary camp.  There were more instructions that told them what they had to do to complete the challenge.  There was a large alarm clock and they had to ensure that the minute hand never reached the 30 minute mark.  They had to do this until sunrise, meaning that if one of them got distracted by talking or falling asleep then they would fail.

They were given sausages and beer for the evening, although Sabrina was unsure whether to drink hers for fear of falling asleep. Sabrina explained: "The bonus of us being in our own camp was Gino cooking us our own meal.  Gino continued: "It‘s to have a meal without beans or rice.  What is driving us at the moment is a nice bag of salt.  We are simple people.  We want a bag of salt."

The two decided to take it in shifts to watch the clock.  They were both nervous about the noises in the bush around them and Sabrina was shocked to find a leech in her sock.  Gino fell asleep, but Sabrina managed to wake him.  And Sabrina stayed awake by singing.  But sunrise came as a large key was lowered indicating that they had won the challenge.

Victory For Gino And Sabrina
The two completed their chest challenge and won treats for camp.  "We were awake all night and we are knackered," said Gino.  "The most beautiful thing of all night was when I saw the light through the trees.  I never go so excited for a sunrise."

"I don’t want to see another clock again," said Sabrina.  "I don’t want to know the time actually."

They took the chest back to Base Camp to applause from the other celebrities and Gino said: "It has to be good.  If it’s something disappointing I’m taking the chest and it goes into the river.  Simple as that."

They won tins of food for camp, albeit without their labels on.  One was a tin of spam which Gino cooked into a feast. He added: "Who knew that a staple tin of spam could send the entire camp into such rhapsodies."

And Justin decorated the caravan as reward for the others. He said: "I wanted to make it cosy for both of them."
