Medic Bob revealed that he had removed the venomous snake last week from where Ant and Dec regularly present the show from.
On the ITV2 spin-off show, I’m a Celebrity… Extra Camp, Bob confessed to leading a team into the jungle to help him keep the dangerous creature from the campers.
Speaking to presenter Scarlett Moffatt, he said: “We keep it quiet from the celebrities in camp but last week I removed a venomous brown tree snake actually climbing along the drawbridge where Ant and Dec walk every day.”
After the revelation, presenter Joe Swash made an off-camera joke abut “knowing about small-eyed snakes”, to which Bob seized the opportunity to poke fun at him.
The bearded medic quipped: “Joe knows all about small-eyed snakes!”
According to The Sun, ITV bosses sent a team to take away a venomous Australian funnel web spider from where the celebrities sleep last week.
This came after campmates were urged to be cautious of ticks that could leave them paralysed.
I’m A Celebrity is notorious for having creepy crawllies running around, but they’re normally served on a plate.
In the first eating Bushtucker Trial both Rebekah Vardy and Georgia Toffolo came face-to-face with these critters.
In fact, the pair were forced to eat five dead crickets, five cockroaches, 20 mealworms, one hawkmoth and one huntsman spider in the First Dates-style challenge.
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! continues on ITV1 at 9pm.
