Notes
  • ^1 In this trial, while only six celebrities participated, all campmates were able to watch. However, as the campmates stole food from the trial, the 8 and a 1/2 stars they had won were forfeited and no food was received by the celebrities for dinner.
  • ^2 Tottie, as an intruder, had to participate with Davina in The Mile High Club trial as part of her entry into the camp.
  • ^3 Brooke did not participate in this trial because she was medically exempt.
  • ^4 The celebrities competed against each other in two teams, a red team and a blue team, during Battles Week.
  • ^5 Julia correctly answered the last question for the celebrities, earning them an extra ½ star, however the celebrities were still dunked with slime and offal as though they had answered incorrectly.
  • ^6 As Brooke was medically exempt from participating in the trial, co-host Dr Chris Brown offered to step-in for her in the trial and won the camp two stars. As a result, Brooke replaced Dr Chris Brown's hosting position and co-hosted alongside Julia Morris.

Secret missions

edit

Poh's secret mission: mystery celebrity twist

edit

On the first day, it was revealed to Poh that a fake contestant, who was not actually a celebrity, would enter the camp. Poh had to convince her campmates that the fake contestant, David Subritzky, was in fact a real celebrity. The fake contestant assumed the identity of an influencer and shoe designer with 3.9 million Instagram followers. For each day that her campmates remained unsuspicious, Poh would win the camp a larger reward.[15][16][17] The twist was similar to that of the fourth series of Celebrity Big Brother UK which saw non-celebrity Chantelle Houghton undertake the same task.

During the five days that Poh had to keep the fake contestant a secret, she received help from the camp's intruders, Joey Essex and Davina Rankin, who pretended to have known David. Poh succeeded in her challenge and on the last day on which the fake celebrity had to remain undercover, the campmates voted on whether David should be allowed to stay in camp to become a "real celebrity".

Nathan and Poh's secret mission: Sneaky weazel secret mission

edit

In episode 8, Nathan and Poh received a secret mission in which they had to sneak out of camp to the Tok Tokkie after all their campmates had gone to sleep. In the Tok Tokkie, they were given ingredients to make a bowl of popcorn in the camp's treehouse, which they had to do without raising the suspicions of their campmates. If their campmates weren't alerted to Nathan and Poh making their popcorn they would be allowed to eat it, however if someone raised their suspicions, they couldn't eat any popcorn.

Beau's Super Spicy Secret Mission

edit

In episode 9, Beau was given the opportunity to win his campmates McSpicy Meals, through participating in a two part challenge. In the first round, he had to drop the word "spicy" in three different scenarios. In between the rounds, he was given a chocolate shake to drink. In the second round, he had to make three of his campmates say the word "spicy". Beau succeeded in his challenge and won the camp McSpicy Meals for lunch.

Nathan's secret mission

edit

In episode 14, Nathan was given the opportunity to win his campmates breakfast smoothies by pretending he had heartburn and making up an alternative breathing technique which he had to repeat on three instances in front of his campmates. Nathan made up the "headstand" method, in which he took slow, deep breaths whilst in the headstand position, and as his campmates were unsuspicious he succeeded in his mission and won the camp smoothies for breakfast.

Brooke's secret mission: Farts

edit

In episode 15, Brooke was given a three round fart-based mission. In the first round, she was given a small sound device which played pre-recorded farts when she pressed a remote. She was told that she had to fart on three instances in front of three of her campmates. In the second round, Brooke gained an accomplice in the mission, David, who was given control of her remote, while Brooke had a similar mission to her first round although didn't have control of when she farted. In the third round, Brooke was given fart spray which she had to spray in the camp want raising the suspicions of her campmates. As Brooke succeeded in her mission, she won the camp english muffins with baked beans for breakfast.

The Camp's secret mission: "nose"

edit

In episode 17, all the celebrities in the camp, other than David, were given fake noses and had to wear them while dropping the word "nose" in a conversation. As David was unsuspicious, the campmates each won a nose-shaped chocolate.
