Roman Kemp and Adele Roberts found an unorthodox way to get through the first eating challenge of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!.

The radio DJs had to eat duck tongues, dead cockroaches and turkey testicles in the latest trial - and sang festive favourites to help themselves get through it.

They also had to chow down on fish eyes and a pig’s uterus in the Just Desserts challenge.

In Wednesday’s instalment of the ITV show, the trial area was transformed into a jungle-themed ice-cream parlour.

Host Declan Donnelly told the pair they had to take it turns to eat a total of 10 puddings, with each dish representing a meal for camp.

During the challenge, the pair pretended they were eating real foods - such as a Christmas lunch - to power them through the task.

Roman got started with Critter-Bocker Glory – a vile concoction of dead cockroaches, mealworms and crickets, which he described as being “quite cheesy, cheesy eggs”.

Adele retched as she tried vomit fruit, telling herself it was “a Faberge [egg]."

Describing the taste, she said: “It’s like your dog’s been sick and you have to eat it."

Roman later had to eat a cow's teat and tried to convince himself that duck tongues were really calamari.

Adele then said she would never eat turkey again after eating the testicles of the bird.

Referring to the fact that Adele brought a picture of Jane McDonald to camp as her luxury item, Roman urged her to “think how proud” the singer would be as she gagged while trying to eat a pig’s uterus.

Roman's final dish was a Cocky Road Ice Cream – a bull’s penis.

The pair managed to eat each of the “desserts” and earned a full 10 stars for camp.

“Lovely first date. Thanks very much,” Adele joked to Roman afterwards.

Their success meant the campers were treated to a feast of crocodile feet, mountain spinach, shimeji mushrooms, snake beans and horned cucumber with black sapote fruit for dessert.

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! continues on ITV on Thursday at 9pm.
