James Haskell and Jacqueline Jossa elected leaders for I'm A Celebrity campsite as stars get their luxury itemsThe former rugby pro and actress were chosen for the roles in Saturday's show

James Haskell and Jacqueline Jossa have been elected as leader and deputy leader of the I'm A Celebrity campsite.

The former England rugby pro, 34, was voted for by the rest of the camp after they undertook a gruesome bushtucker trial.


During the task, called the Pest Office, some of the celebrities were put inside a makeshift prison cell and covered in bugs, while the others had to hold an insect in their mouths for 30 seconds.

Each one they completed would mean a star for camp and the contestants successfully won 12 stars.


After returning to camp, they discovered a red chair and a log cabin with two beds inside.

Inside the Bushtucker Telegraph, they found a ballot box where they cast their votes for the next leader.

James won five votes - prompting him to scoop the title and he then chose Jacqueline as his deputy.

Speaking about the election, James said: “Thank you, that’s very kind of you all.”

As part of their duties, they allocated chores to everyone and also handed out their luxury items.

Caitlyn Jenner had a luxury face cream, Roman Kemp was given a mug with a photo of his girlfriend and dog on it, Nadine Coyle had a tangle teaser, Andy Whyment brought lip balm, Myles Stephenson chose a Kodak camera, Andrew Maxwell had an inflatable chair, Jacqueline had a photograph with her family on it and James has a memory foam neck pillow.

Both Ian Wright and Cliff Parisi won praise from viewers for their luxury items which everyone benefitted from.

Football pundit Ian chose his favourite track - Kirk Franklin’s Looking For You - which he could have played three times.

Meanwhile Cliff brought in a Christmas tree with baubles.

Viewers said Cliff was a “legend” for choosing a Christmas tree.

When describing his reasons for bringing the tree in, Cliff said: "This is something I think we might all enjoy a little bit."

The rest of the campmates then cheered at his decision.

I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! returns on Sunday evening at 9pm on ITV.
