I’m A Celebrity shock medical emergency: Stars scream in pain during brutal ice bath challenge – as Jack Vidgen says he’s ‘about to pass out’
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! will return on Thursday night with a brutal ‘ice bucket challenge’ that could easily be mistaken for a scene in SAS Australia.
Preview footage of the gruelling challenge shows Grant Denyer, Jack Viden, Pettifleur Beranger and Travis Varcoe swimming in tanks of ice-cold water as they attempt to win points for their teams.
The celebrities were tasted with continuously swimming to the bottom of their tanks to pump a lever.

It wasn’t long before the foursome began shaking uncontrollably and screaming out in pain.
‘It hurts. It’s hard to take breath in,’ shouted Grant, as his entire complexion went red with cold.
Elsewhere, Travis was seen gasping for breath as he shouted, ‘oh my god,’ while Pettifleur shivered and groaned in pain.

However, it was pop singer Jack Vidgen who seemed most affected by the agonising ordeal, with medical staff rushing to his aid as soon as challenge was over.
Footage obtained by News Corp shows a medical team wrapping the singer in a space blanked to prevent him from getting hypothermia.
‘Not being able to take a breath because you feel like your whole body’s just contracting because of how cold you are,’ Jack told producers.

‘Physically, it was getting to the point where I was going to pass out,’ he later added.
As Jack huddled beneath the blankets, he could be heard telling a medical staffer: ‘I’m just really scared.’
I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! continues Thursday at 7.30pm on Ten.
