BTT - Under Critical Construction
The trial itself was a pretty tame affair – Myles had to crawl through a series of cages filled with critters, unscrewing stars as he went using different tools sent over via a pulley system by builder’s mate Cliff while the duo communicated using walkie talkies. Roger that. Over. They got eight of eleven stars which meant enough food to go round.
Much more stressful was the process of actually deciding who would do the task in the first place, with James getting riled by the fact that Cliff had volunteered when he felt that names should be drawn from a hat so that everyone got an equal chance.

But unaware of the frostiness between the celebs, they were slightly puzzled as to why there wasn’t more excitement about the frozen treats.
Driving tips crazy
Today’s debating point was the politics of tipping – when to do it, who to and how much. Caitlyn impressed by revealing that she occasionally slips her regular waitress $100 – but EastEnder Cliff trumped that by casually mentioning that each year he gives his driver “a nice present like a holiday or something like that.” Who knew a job on Albert Square was so lucrative?
Rice fried egg
The eight-star gift from above was emu eggs, which Ian and Kate turned into egg fried rice (or, given the size of the eggs, maybe that should be rice fried egg).
Ian will be facing the next Bushtucker Trial, a challenge called Hellevator - suffice it to say, the former Arsenal man was not happy …
