The 28-year-old actress - who is best-known for her starring role in 'The Inbetweeners' - has been chosen by the public to take on the first fearful trial of the series.

Emily - who skydived out of a helicopter earlier in the opening episode - was informed of her fate by Dec Donnelly and his new 'I'm a Celebrity' co-host Holly Willoughby.

Prior to announcing the decision, Holly revealed: "It's between Emily and Rita [Simons]."

Emily responded to the news by admitting she has mixed feelings about taking on the first bushtucker trial.

Meanwhile, Anne Hegerty was ruled out of the trial because of medical reasons.

Earlier in the opening episode, Harry Redknapp led the Red Team to temporary immunity from the dreaded bushtucker trial.

In fact, Holly revealed that the triumphant team would be immune from the next two bushtucker trials, while they will also get to stay in a more comfortable camp and eat a more appetising meal.

The 71-year-old soccer manager organised his team - which also included John Barrowman, Nick Knowles, Malique Thompson-Dwyer and Sair Khan - to victory in a head-to-head boat race against the Yellow Team, which included Emily, Anne, Rita, Fleur East and James McVey.

The challenge required the teams to race from the land to collect some flags and then head back to the mainland as quickly as possible.
