He has shrieked his way through a series of gruelling trials since arriving on this year’s version of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
And Jordan North was triumphant on Thursday, as he successfully managed to collect all 12 stars during the Trapped Door trial, securing a meal for his camp mates.
As well as bagging the maximum number of stars for camp, his co-stars commented that he returned to them a ‘completely different person’.
Wahey! Jordan North was triumphant on Thursday, as he successfully managed to collect all 12 stars during the Trapped Door trial, securing a meal for his camp mates
Jordan arrived in the Trials area and was greeted by hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly, both 45, during the latest episode of the ITV programme.
So far he has entertained viewers by screaming for his ‘happy place’ which is Burnley football club’s ground Turf Moor during the trials he has partaken in.
Ahead of his latest task, he told Ant and Dec he was terrified as they explained the new trial to him, which consisted of crawling into an underground tunnel.
New lease of life: As well as bagging the maximum number of stars for camp, his co-stars commented that he returned to them a ‘completely different person’
Here we go: Jordan arrived in the Trials area and was greeted by hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly, both 45, during the latest episode of the ITV programme
Ant told him: ‘You’ve got to make your way through the Trapped Door, once you get past that you’re in an underground tunnel.
‘Inside the underground tunnel you need to lie flat on a trolley and use the rope which is above you to manoeuvre your way through the tunnel which contains a series of stars.
‘When you find the stars you have to stop the trolley and work out how to release each star.’
Entertainer: So far he has entertained viewers by screaming for his ‘happy place’ which is Burnley football club’s ground Turf Moor during the trials he has partaken in.
Scared: Ahead of his latest task, he told Ant and Dec he was terrified as they explained the new trial to him, which consisted of crawling into an underground tunnel.
Dec continued: ‘There are 12 stars hidden in there. Each one equals a meal for camp tonight. When you do reach a star get it in your star bag and keep it there. Only stars in your bag at the end of the trial will count. You’ve got 12 minutes to find 12 stars.’
Jordan told Ant and Dec that he didn’t like confined spaces and that he didn’t even get into lifts.
But he added: ‘This whole process has been a massive confidence booster for me. I was scared of everything. I’ve done everything now. I’m going to give it a go.’
Off you go: Ant told him: ‘You’ve got to make your way through the Trapped Door, once you get past that you’re in an underground tunnel
He said: ‘Inside the underground tunnel you need to lie flat on a trolley and use the rope which is above you to manoeuvre your way through the tunnel which contains a series of stars’
Jordan stepped through the trap door and positioned himself on the trolley. He pulled himself through the tunnel at which point maggots rained down on him.
‘Happy place happy place’, he said to himself as more came down.
He saw three stars on a piece of twisted wire and started to screw them off.
He implored himself not to panic and even pulled the wire off its support at once stage as he managed to claim the three stars.
Hard work: ‘When you find the stars you have to stop the trolley and work out how to release each star’
There was another hanging above him which again he managed to retrieve as he sang to himself. He got a total of four stars in that section and then pulled himself along with the rope into the next.
The next set of stars were on poles and he had to move them around to free them like a puzzle.
Again, he managed to free the stars as maggots, mealworms crickets and cockroaches rained down from above.
Dec continued: ‘There are 12 stars hidden in there. Each one equals a meal for camp tonight. When you do reach a star get it in your star bag and keep it there. Only stars in your bag at the end of the trial will count. You’ve got 12 minutes to find 12 stars’
There was a fourth star hanging above him which again he claimed and put in his bag.
The next section of the tunnel contained holes that he gingerly had to put his hands into and he managed to retrieve more stars.
He spent the last minute of the trial trying to find the final star but couldn’t and he was released from the underground tunnel as the time was up.
However, when he counted the stars, he discovered that in fact, he’d won all twelve. ‘That’s like putting on your jeans and finding a fiver’ joked Dec.
Oh dear: Jordan told Ant and Dec that he didn’t like confined spaces and that he didn’t even get into lifts
As he headed back to camp, he said: ‘I cannot believe I got 12 stars. I’m chuffed to bits. I can’t wait to go back to the camp and tell the guys.’
‘I only got 12’, he joked when he returned.
Jordan said: ‘I’m absolutely buzzing. Let me tell you. There’s no better feeling coming back to camp on your own and telling all your campmates you got 12 stars. Their reaction was better than what I imagined. I’m elated. I’m so happy.’
But he added: ‘This whole process has been a massive confidence booster for me. I was scared of everything. I’ve done everything now. I’m going to give it a go’
Vernon said: ‘He’s come back with 12 stars but most importantly of all he came back a completely different person.’
Beverley said that she thought Jordan’s parents would be proud of him.
And Jess said: ‘We’re just so proud of him. Forget the food, it’s not about the food. Jordan, vomit off the side of a cliff edge Jordan, got a full house all by himself. It’s incredible.’
Vernon said: ‘He’s come back with 12 stars but most importantly of all he came back a completely different person’
Jordan won praise for his incredible effort from viewers, who admitted he was a ‘hero’ and they’d be putting money on him to win the show.
One person on Twitter said: ‘Jordan is such a hero #ImACeleb.’
Another person said: ‘He’s just so likeable. I wish I’d put a bet on him to win #Jordan #ImACeleb.’
While another said: ‘Oh Jordan, love a bit of self growth #ImACeleb.’

Jordan has quickly become a fan favourite since I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! began airing, and has been voted to do every trial so far.
He triumphed over his fear of snakes during Monday’s episode of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! as he and Shane Richie won nine stars for the camp.
On Tuesday’s episode Jordan and fellow stars Vernon Kay and Beverley Callard managed to win 10 stars in this year’s eating trial, Frights of the Round Table. Luckily on Wednesday, he was given a night off as show newcomers Russell and Ruthie were initiated into camp by taking on the trial.
