• What’s bugging Shane Warne? Thousands of cockroaches and maggots
• Warnie’s the secret I’m A Celeb intruder

SHANE Warne has given himself a new nickname. After drinking a smoothie of blended rat offal, the cricket great dubbed himself ‘Rat Man’ of the I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here! camp.

But it was a dish of fly pupae, maggots and tripe jelly that cracked the spin king during a Spin The Bottle food challenge that led to him vomiting.

“To be honest that is probably the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do in my life,” said Warne.

“I don’t think I’ve ever done anything harder than that.”

The challenge had 123 stars up for grabs and saw Warne play a game of spin the bottle with Laurina Fleure, Dean Geyer and Anthony Callea. Instead of kissing their partners, they had to eat revolting foods and earn stars for the camp.

“The last time I played spin the bottle I think I was 11 or 12 and it ended horrifically, today wasn’t great either,” Warne reflected.

Warne psyched himself with fist pumps and despite struggling with the fly pupae he successfully downed a smoothie of fish guts and oysters, as well as drink of Eland (antelope) blood with a curl grub on the side.

“You are the superstar they talk about,” host Julia Morris told Warne. “You are a superhero. That was incredible.”

Geyer and Callea did their bit, respectively eating intestinal juices with reduced pig, sheep and cow fat and a glass of blended hissing Madagascan cockroaches and stink bugs.

But Fleure refused outright to take part and in doing so, annoyed her fellow competitors.

“I have boundaries and that is not okay,” she said when offered a bull eye with a garnish of blood soaked roasted maggots and a slice of lemon.

“Do you want to see me gag? It is going to end up in the bin anyway; I don’t need to humiliate myself.”

Later, she added: “I was vomiting in my own mouth from even watching them do it, let alone even attempt it myself. It is not something I am willing to do so I am not going to be having any dinner.”

Out of the 12 possible meals they could have earned, the foursome scored eight.

Warne is certainly delivering TV gold for producers.

Earlier he amused his fellow campmates by tending to the fire wearing his underpants because he said it was “more comfortable”.

“Please put some shorts on Shane, your baggage is hangingout everywhere,” said Fevola. “I wasn’t quite sure about Shane getting around in his budgie smugglers this morning. It’s not a good thing to wake up to, Warney in his jocks.”

Smiling faces from Dean, Laurina, Anthony and Shane - before the trial began.

Jo Beth Taylor said: “Shane keeps walking around in his undies. He’s obviously very comfortable with that and I think the best thing to do in that situation is just to avert your eyes.”

Elsewhere in the jungle camp, Bonnie Lythgoe gave Paul Harragon a dancing lesson and dubbed herself entertainment’s manager.

“I think I am doing a little bit better than maybe Bonnie thought,” Harragon said. “If I can learn how to dance, that will be gold.”

It’s all too much for Anthony Callea.

And Jo Beth Taylor and Callea bonded over their love of singing, making up a song titled ‘Schnitzel On My Face’.

“I think I’ve had some similar experiences with touring in musical theatre and obviously both being singers,” Taylor said of Callea. “He’s just a sweetie and I really enjoy hanging out with him.”
