Former My Kitchen Rules judge Colin Fassnidge joins I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!

Colin Fassnidge is the latest star to join the cast roughing it on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

On Wednesday night’s episode of the TV series, the Plate of Origin judge entered the camp in a strange clown challenge.

His arrival proved to be difficult for campmates Abbie Chatfield and Toni Pearen, who had to free the 45-year-old handcuffed to a clown car.

The pair had to chase a scary looking clown into a room full of balloons – and pop their way through with a knitting needle to find the joker, who had the key to free the celebrity chef. 

After being taunted by two other terrifying clowns, Abbie and Toni managed to retrieve the key and successfully free him, and he later joined the green team.

Colin is best known for starring on Channel Seven’s My Kitchen Rules and Plate of Origin as a judge and his success as a chef at restaurants including Four Fourteen.

He is the twelfth celebrity to arrive on the latest season of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
