Chris Moyles won just one star during I’m A Celebrity’s ‘Boiling Point’ Bushtucker trial on Wednesday (November 16) night.

Fear played a huge part in the radio presenter’s ability to complete the challenge as viewers watched him drop his bag, containing the spanners he needed and the stars themselves.
In the last few moments of the challenge Chris Moyles went to retrieve the stars he had collected, but unfortunately only managed to find one.
In I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! the stars collected during Bushtucker trials count towards meals for the camp on top of the usual rice and beans ration.

After learning he would face yet another bushtucker trial, radio presenter Chris shared that he was nervous about the experience.
Chris said: “As much as all the campmates go, ‘just try your best it will be fine, don’t worry about it’, underneath it, they’re going, ‘come back with at least more than yesterday’
“I just want to disappear. Three stars yesterday... I would love to come back with 11, but I don’t know what it is, so I don’t know how brave I’m going to be. I’ll try my best.”

The radio presenter appeared terrified before the trial, with Ant saying: “He’s got tears in his eyes.”
After explaining the rules of Boiling Point, Ant explained to the radio presenter: “This is a Bushtucker trial, so the chances are you’re not going to be alone down there.”
A nervous Chris then responded with: “When you say down there… I should have done panto. Why is it enclosed spaces guys?”

Chris protested the rules but the presenting duo then asked him to count out his stars, which saw him throw just one star on the ground.
An emotional Chris said: “I can’t go back to camp.
“They’ll all say really nice things and every single one of them will be lying… I think I’m going to go back and tell them I got none.”
Chris Moyles returned to camp and told his fellow celebrities: “It’s really not good news and I’m really sorry. This is so awkward. I didn’t and I’m not joking, I got one star. To make it worse I got two and it fell out of my bag.”

Hide AdThe low blow for the radio presenter comes just a day after his girlfriend Tiffany Austin told The Sun that she was worried about him doing Bushtucker trials.
Tiffany said: “It is part of the experience of doing the show, but I am worried about him, obviously, but it is part of being on the show he has to experience that.
“It is wonderful he can get some airtime as well.”
