Beverley took part in the stomach-churning challenge Frights of the Round Table with Vernon Kay and Jordan North, and while they devoured disgusting animal parts she was served with plates of fermented vegetables.
Antony said: ‘The eating trial was a brilliant example of how resilient she is. She’s done all kinds of different jobs.
‘She’s got stuck in and triumphed. It was an extraordinary trial, to get 10 stars and eat that horrendous muck. She’s been brilliant. We’re very, very proud of her.’
‘Beverley’s a queen in her own right, I think they’ve all got a shot at winning, but I think the northern contingency has a really good shot this year.

‘I wouldn’t be surprised if that eating trial last night isn’t representative of the final night in camp.’
Antony’s heartfelt comments came after I’m A Celeb viewers claimed Beverley had an unfair advantage during Tuesday’s Trial, after being exempt from eating certain dishes due to her vegan diet.
Many fans were quick to question how Beverley could take part in the so-called ‘eating trial’ with her dietary restrictions, even after she, Jordan and Vernon managed to finish all the dishes, earning them 10 stars for the camp.

Really? I’m A Celebrity viewers claimed Beverley had an unfair advantage during Tuesday’s Trial, after being exempt from eating certain dishes due to her vegan diet
Ahead of the trial, hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly announced that Beverley would be served specific dishes due to her vegan diet.
The challenge saw the stars each complete two toe-curling meals, with the other four chosen at random.
For Beverley this meant finishing three dishes, fermented plums, fermented tofu, and a cheesefruit, which is known to many as ‘vomit fruit.’
Despite helping win a full house in the trial, many fans questioned whether it was fair Beverley take part in the challenge given her vegan preferences.
