Needless to say snakes, bugs and creepy crawlies have been in existence and Ive been bitten by a scorpion 4 times in Mexico and once in South Africa, i was bitten by a snake but the hospital was 1 mile away and the antivenom was in within minutes of me getting there so all I had was a swollen arm and a very big tongue (dont know why) for a couple of days.

On top of all of that Ive been married for 45 years, so everything creepy thats happened pails into insignificant when the later is put in the equation.

I wasn't knocking anyone who's actually been through hard rough times , you're here to tell the tale but i didn't expect a life story and i never said i knew you but sometimes when people complain about situations they don't know what it's like and you might think it's nothing what these trials are but i doubt any of them have had to deal with that kind of stuff seen as they're all from luxury lifestyles some of them probably have housekeepers .

The point i'm making is why should they put the celebrities life in such high risk for entertainment , and over the years IAC has pushed the boundaries so i don't see anything wrong with them taking it easy on them this year

In the past they've had serious injuries like 4 years ago David Haye got seriously bitten by a bandi coot ( it looked like a rat ) and he needed medical attention

further back a neighbours actress and an emmerdale actress had to jump out of a helicopter into the river below where they'd done a colour code pattern with holes and they had to jump into the holes that would equal the most stars for meals , and the neighbours actress injured her neck so badly and had to leave the show

and like i've said in the past there's even been a marks man ready incase a crocodile swims towards a contestant ! . so IAC has done everything risky even having ostriches pecking at people which must be worse than an emu pecking you
