During a live segment of I’m A  Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Unpacked, Sam Thompson and Joel Dommett were forced to face one of the most notorious challenges of the show—eating witchetty grubs.

The gruesome trial had the two celebrities gagging and struggling to keep their composure as they consumed the wriggling grubs, a task that is notorious for pushing even the bravest stars to their limits.

As the camera rolled, viewers were treated to a mixture of both humor and genuine discomfort as Thompson and Dommett tried to stomach the creepy crawlers in front of a live audience.

The challenge, part of a regular feature on the show, requires contestants to eat a variety of insects or other unpleasant foods, often leaving them visibly repulsed. Witchetty grubs, which are large,

white larvae, are especially difficult to eat due to their squishy texture and pungent smell. Both Thompson and Dommett struggled with the challenge, their faces contorting with disgust

as they chewed the grubs. At one point, Dommett was seen wiping away tears, visibly struggling with the texture and taste.

His discomfort was clear, and it was evident that the trial was taking a toll on him, even as he tried to maintain his usual comedic demeanor.

Despite their best efforts to stay composed, the pair couldn’t hide their reactions to the wriggling grubs.

Sam Thompson, known for his humorous personality, tried to make light of the situation, but even he couldn’t avoid the gag reflex that seemed to overtake him every time he took a bite.

Both he and Dommett were frequently seen pausing between bites, trying to gather their strength to continue.

The live audience, aware of the challenge’s difficulty, cheered them on, but it was clear the task was a major struggle for both celebrities. Their visibly teary eyes and gagging were a testament to how difficult the trial really was.

The moment was particularly memorable due to the combination of humor and genuine discomfort. As Dommett wiped his eyes, he joked about the experience, trying to inject some levity into an otherwise grim task.

His usual lighthearted banter couldn’t mask the reality of the trial, though, as he and Thompson both wrestled with the urge to vomit.

Despite the jokes, it was clear that the trial had pushed them to their limits. The viewers at home, though amused by the spectacle, also saw the human side of the celebrities, who, while known for their sense of humor, were clearly struggling with the challenge.

In the end, both Sam Thompson and Joel Dommett managed to complete the trial, though not without significant effort and visible discomfort.

Their shared experience of gagging and struggling through the challenge only added to the drama of the episode, showing how even the most lighthearted and seemingly carefree celebrities can be pushed beyond their comfort zones.

The trial, as is often the case with I’m A Celebrity, was not just about the physical challenge of eating the grubs but also about the mental strength required to endure the ordeal.

For Thompson and Dommett, it was a moment of vulnerability that allowed the audience to see them in a new light.

The segment was a classic example of the show’s ability to balance the humor and hardship that its contestants face.

I’m A  Celebrity is known for pushing its stars to their limits, whether through physical challenges, extreme environments, or confronting their fears.

Sam and Joel’s shared experience with the witchetty grubs may have been one of the more gruesome trials, but it also showcased the camaraderie between the two stars as they supported each other through the ordeal.

Ultimately, while the challenge was unpleasant, it also highlighted the resilience of the celebrities as they faced one of the toughest trials yet.
