I’m A Celeb’s Holly Willoughby is ‘more terrified of jungle critters than all the stars’, says Bob The Medic
NEW I'm A Celebrity host Holly Willoughby is "more terrified of jungle critters than all the stars", according to Bob The Medic.
The doctor has revealed Holly is already a nervous wreck before the show has even started.
Holly, 37, has been out in Australia for almost a week as she prepares for the new series launch on Sunday night.
She's been taking part in rehearsals and getting to know the crew.
Bob McCarron has been working with Holly as well as the contestants and he's convinced she's the biggest scaredy cat of the lot.
He told the : "Holly’s more scared than all the celebrities put together, I’m not joking.
"All I have to do is talk to her and look at the floor and she goes: ‘What’s on the floor?’
"What are you looking at the floor for?’ When they do the trials I think they need a camera just on Holly because she’ll be squirming."
Bushtucker Trials chief Matt Wilkinson also said he saw Holly jump out of her skin when she saw a leaf on her leg.
It comes after Holly sent her This Morning co-star Phillip Schofield and her replacement Rochelle Humes a video from the jungle set to give them an update.
She said: "It's only me in the Australian jungle.
"I've arrived safe and sound, I'm settling into my new home. It's amazing here.
"It's so beautiful, for someone who is not that brilliant with nature I'm sort of fitting in OK."
Holly then talked the pair through what she had been up to since landing Down Under.
She said: "I've seen my first spider, I think I sent you footage of that Phil.
"It was only a little one but it was a real life spider.
"I'm lifting up toilet seats wherever I go, I'm checking the inside of my shoes.

"I'm yet to see a snake. We've done a few rehearsal bits, I've done a Bushtucker trial, well I haven't done it but I've watched one, so I've seen crocodiles and stuff."
But proving she's still adjusting to jungle life, Holly then squealed a little and said: "Something's just landed on my arm, agh! There's things that land on you everywhere.
"They have flies that bite, everything bites, everything wants to eat you."
Holly then spoke about this year's line-up, which includes Harry Redknapp, John Barrowman and The Chase's Anne Hegerty.
She said: "We're just gearing up to get ready, you've seen the line up now which I think is amazing.
"If I'm feeling nervous the celebrities must be even more nervous.
