Anne Hegerty recoiled in shock after she was nipped by a crab in a gruesome Bush Tucker Trial on I’m A Celebrity.

The Governess, 60, was voted in by the public to take on the latest challenge which saw her locked in a makeshift hospital with nurse “Florence Frightingale” and beds full of critters.

Hegerty politely asked one snake to move, saying “excuse me mate” as she lifted it up to reach for her first star.

But she was less friendly with a drawer full of crabs after one lunged out to attack her.

“I don’t like the look of you, but I know you’re only a crab. I know you don’t want to be touched,” she said before screaming out in pain. “Don’t you bloody dare!”

Hegerty has been voted in to take part in several challenges by viewers, who she won over after downing a pint of blended fish eyes in the record time of 12 seconds.

She also left viewers in hysterics on Monday night after she accidentally “farted in Nick’s face” after they woke up in the emperor’s hut.

“Oh, excuse me, sorry,” she said to Nick Knowles on realising what had happened.

She later explained herself in the Bush Telegraph, telling viewers: “I farted in Nick’s face this morning and he didn’t seem to mind so obviously we’re good mates. It was a tiny, tiny little fart.”

Presenter Declan Donnelly couldn’t resist poking fun at the unfortunate mishap, leaving co-star Holly Willoughby in stitches.

Addressing the camp feast the night before, which Knowles was forced to miss, Willoughby said: “Poor Nick missing out on a dinner. He’ll never get to taste that feast.”

Donnelly quipped: “Oh he will. About six tomorrow morning when Anne wakes up and rolls over.”
