Three stars are facing an epic journey into the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! camp.

Having just met for the first time Jamie Lynn Spears, Marvin Humes and Nick Pickard learned they would have to face a skydive before heading off to do the very first Trial of the series.

Nick confessed: ‘I had no idea when I woke up this morning I’d be skydiving with Britney Spears’s sister. I mean, come on… I don’t think she’s looking forward to it too much. I think she’s a bit apprehensive, as is Marvin.’

Marvin added: ‘100% skydiving is the worst thing you could throw at me. I’ll be thinking about my children and my wife the whole time…. Fingers crossed it’s all going to be alright.’

Jamie Lynn quipped: ‘What’s the worst that could happen? Just kidding, a lot of really bad things could happen…’

Skydive: Three stars are facing an epic journey into the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! camp

Jump! Having just met for the first time Jamie Lynn Spears , Marvin Humes and Nick Pickard learned they would have to face a skydive before heading off to do the very first Trial of the series

Marvin admitted: ‘I am going to be terrified, petrified… all of the ‘ifieds.’

But despite their nerves, there was jubilation once they’d each done it.

Jamie Lynn, who jumped first, was thrilled as she said: ‘I was living out my childhood dreams of being a fairy and flying around – honestly, it was so cool!’

Arriving back on the ground, Nick kissed the floor: ‘Hell mate, mwah!’

Thrilled he managed to jump, Marvin said: ‘Un-bloody-believable mate. That makes you feel alive. I was scared about nothing. Wow. I can’t believe it, we’ve done it. I never wanted to do it and I’ve done it. To conquer that fear of heights! I think my kids will be super proud.’

After taking on the skydive, the trio thrust straight into the very first trial of the series.

Called Temple of Doom, the trials sees them strapped into boxes and covered in horror critters.

A spoiler clip shows JLS star Marvin, 38, with green ants crawling all over him and biting his tongue as he has to solve a word riddle.

Next up Hollyoaks ‘ Nick, 48, has cockroaches and spiders thrown over him as a huge tarantula figure dangles a star in front of him to catch with his mouth.

As he attempts to grab the star he makes funny noises with his mouth as hosts Ant and Dec poke fun at his method.

Last but not least Britney Spears’ sister Jamie Lynn, 34, is covered in Ants like Marvin as she attempts more word puzzles.

It comes as Nigel Farage has already been covered in gunge for his first I’m A Celebrity Bushtucker trial.

The ex-UKIP leader, 59, was seen sporting a pair of goggles while being submerged in filthy barrels of mud and muck.

It is his first gruelling trial in the jungle challenge show – which is set to kick off on ITV tonight as the celebrities enter camp for the first time.

Nick confessed: ‘I had no idea when I woke up this morning I’d be skydiving with Britney Spears ‘s sister. I mean, come on… I don’t think she’s looking forward to it too much. I think she’s a bit apprehensive, as is Marvin.’

Jamie Lynn quipped: ‘What’s the worst that could happen? Just kidding, a lot of really bad things could happen…’

Brutal: After taking on the skydive, the trio thrust straight into the very first trial of the series

Farage joined YouTuber Nella Rose and This Morning presenter Josie Gibson for a desert-based task after he was given immunity from the skydiving challenge .

His past injuries have led to speculation he would be exempt from many of the show’s Bushtucker trials.

Nigel’s pink shirt was splattered with splotches of mud as he and Nella hunted through the dirt.

Revealing his limitations in the jungle beforehand, Mr Farage told The Mail on Sunday: ‘Well, anything involving weight lifting, I’d be out because I’ve obviously had some quite serious physical injuries and neck reconstructions and goodness knows what else.’

Instead of jumping out of the plane like campmates have in previous years, Farage was sent to take part in the desert challenge with Josie and Nella.

Mr Farage underwent a major spinal operation following the accident 13 years ago when his light aircraft, towing a Vote Ukip banner that accidentally wrapped around the tail and rudder during the flight, nosedived to the ground, injuring him and the pilot.

He previously said he closed his eyes, not expecting to see anything ever again before he felt a series of hard blows to his body as the aircraft took the full impact and the engine fell apart.

Oh no! Called Temple of Doom, the trials sees them strapped into boxes and covered in horror critters (Marvin Humes seen)

Back! Heading back Down Under, hosts Ant and Dec return for another series of Bushtucker Trial-filled fun

After being taken to hospital, a scan showed he had a punctured lung, two chipped vertebrae, a fractured sternum and several fractured ribs.

This led to the star needing major surgery several years later on back and neck injuries he sustained in the accident.

His car accident occurred in 1985 when he was hit by a Volkswagen Beetle while on a pelican crossing.

I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! continues Monday 20 th November at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX
