Brian Paddick makes an arresting exit from the jungle... as Simon Webbe has medical help after underwater task

After 17 days in the jungle, retired police officer Brian Paddick became the sixth person to leave I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

The former Deputy Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan police missed out on the cooked breakfast he had won for camp after spending the night sleeping in a cage full of rats after he was led out of the Australian Bush by hosts Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly.

After leaving the jungle, Brian was reunited with his fiancé Petter Belsvik, who he cuddled and kissed as they posed for photographers.

During Brian's two and a half weeks in camp, he skydived, took part in challenges and acted as a mediator between his warring campmates.

During his exit interview with Ant and Dec, Brian admitted he was tired after his horrible night in a cage full of rats.

Explaining why he decided to do the reality show after having such a professional career, he said: 'For a long time, in the police force, I've been doing serious stuff. It's all bad news I've been commenting on so I thought why not do something trivial.

'It was hard work, particularly the hunger. I lost a stone in weight in two weeks.

'It gets pretty tedious if you don't get a trial or celebrity chest.'

When watching footage of Joe Swash accusing him of having no backbone following an argument with David Van Day, Brian said: 'Joe takes a fairly simplistic view of things.'

Bringing up the latest camp gossip of David's so-called 'game plan', Brian said: 'I took David at face value and really tried to bring him into camp. If he has been manipulating the situation, then that's a poor show.'

Brian tipped Simon Webbe to win, who he has previously hailed as a good role model to young black men.

He said: 'He is such a talented, good guy and such a role model.'

The previous day, Simon attempted to conquer his fear of water for the bush tucker Trial, but ended up even more scared.

Upon hearing the task was called 'Last Gasp', Simon knew it would involve water, but declined to tell his campmates about his fear of H2O until after.

Arriving for the task and speaking to Ant and Dec, he revealed he was terrified of water

He said: ‘I don’t swim at all but didn’t want to say anything in camp. This is the whole part of the show, getting over your fears.'

Explaining the task, Ant and Dec told Simon he had to collect five stars using his teeth from bubbles under the water and bring them back to the base bubble.

The bubbles would be the only way to breath under the water.

Inhabiting the bubbles were Oscar fish, water spiders, eels, crocodiles and water monitors.

After retrieving two stars and dropping one, a panicked Simon was given some encouragement from Ant and Dec, who looked concerned for the pop star.

He managed to get six out of seven stars, but was so traumatised as he emerged from the pool, he couldn't speak.

A medic rushed to his aid and gave a panting Simon some oxygen.

One he had composed himself enough to talk, he told Ant and Dec: 'That's the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. Anything after this is a breeze.’

When asked if he had conquered his fear of water, he said: 'No, I'm still scared.'

Speaking to camera on his way back to camp, he said: 'I'm a bit shaken up. I think I hit my head. I'm a bit dazed. I can't speak.

'The scariest thing I've ever done in my life and I don't want to repeat it.'

After arriving back at camp, Simon revealed his fears to his fellow contestants and they praised him for enduring the task.
