Did Kayla Collins REALLY have to wear such a revealing monokini for Celebrity Chest task?

When she was told she would have to wear swimwear to take part in the Celebrity Chest task on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, exhibitionist Kayla Collins couldn't believe her luck.

The 23-year-old Playboy Playmate quickly searched through her array of swimsuits to find the skimpiest one, before eventually deciding on an incredibly revealing black monokini.

However, 50-year-old comedian Jenny Eclair, who took part in the Celebrity Chest with Kayla, was less than impressed when she found out she would also have to don a swimsuit.

Kayla Collins wore an incredibly revealing monokini to take part in the Celebrity Chest task with Jenny Eclair on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

But Kayla's choice of swimsuit didn't put her off doing very well in the task with Jenny

She moaned: 'Well that’s lovely for me isn’t it? Wearing a swimming costume next to Kayla, I’ve got a massive rash rampaging all up my neck and shoulders, I’ve got cellulite riddling all up the backs of my legs and I’m going to be standing next to Kayla in a swimming costume.'

She then added: 'Kayla is much much fitter than I am, in every sense of the word.'As they got close to the chest area, Jenny and Kayla smelt a 'horrible stench' from the pool, and quickly realised they would have to get in to it.

The aim of the game was to pump open the jaws of the plastic crocodile, unscrew its teeth and place them on to a giant key. They would have to get a certain amount of teeth to release the smaller key that would unlock the chest. But Jenny refused to wear just a swimming costume, insisting on wearing her shorts, adding: 'I’m not taking my shorts off when I’m standing next to a 22 or 23-year-old glamour model, I’m not mad!' And while the pair quickly got the hang of the task, Jenny said the hardest part was getting out of the swamp elegantly.

The girls eventually managed to win the chest after working well together as a team

However, Jenny said: 'Kayla was fantastic, every time she got out of the swamp she did it with a beautiful ballet toe, pointed ballet toe. I was envious of that!'

Despite winning the chest, Jenny said she didn't hold out much hope that the rest of camp would be able to answer the question to fully unlock the chest.

She said: 'We won’t win it, we never do. We always get the chest wrong. Completely pointless exercise, might as well have just sat in that camp all afternoon.' But when Jenny and Kayla returned to the camp, the rest of the celebrities were keen for them to have a wash before they tried to answer the chest.

And the pair were furious when their fellow contestants tried to start answering which of the quotes was said by which of their former campmates - to win the chest they had to correctly answer six out of the seven questions. Jenny was not happy, adding: 'We did all the hard work for that, we should read them out.'

We did it! After a long time trying, the girls eventually managed to win the key for the chest

She then added: 'For me that was a lot more strenuous and a lot more difficult than doing any of the Bush Tucker Trials I’ve done…It nearly killed me…I think when we came back me and Kayla should read them out.'

Kayla then read out the quotes and the celebrities succeeded in guessing the answers to all seven quotes and won spices, salt and pepper and seasoning. The quotes included: 'People forget that I'm that old, they think I'm Peter Pan', which was said by Shaun.'The celebrities later started talking about Kayla, with Dom saying they had started to see the real side of Playboy star Kayla.

He said: 'The real Kayla is coming out and I don't think it's a very pretty sight. I think she's probably very high maintenance in real life.' It was 'Dunnygate', where Kayla had to clean up faeces left in the jungle toilet, that ensured the celebrities began to get to know the real star.

Dom had to root around in a variety of horrible containers to find the stars

Dom added: 'Dunnygate was the real Kayla there, that's pretty girl syndrome. She had an anger in her eyes - she was angry. 'She’s not stupid, well she is quite stupid but she is street smart. She is tough.'

He added in the Bush Telegraph: 'The real Kayla is coming out and it’s not a pretty sight. I reckon she’s really high maintenance in real life. Ball buster is the word I’d use.' Yesterday saw the exit of camp moaner Gillian McKeith, and the rest of the celebrities couldn't have been happier.

Former Happy Mondays star Shaun Ryder was absolutely delighted when the nutritionist was voted out, declaring: 'Fantastic, what a good choice public - I love the public. The public are very intelligent and wise.

'I'm a so relieved she's gone - all's fair in love and hate.'

Afterwards in the Bush Telegraph, Shaun said: 'It was wonderful to say goodbye to Gillian - absolutely great!

'I’m glad it was Gillian that went, personally for me, pure selfishness, couldn’t have been better.'

Dom had to root around in a huge pile of dung to find a star

Dom had to contend with creatures including eels and other water insects but only succeeded in getting three stars for camps

Shaun's happy mood was then noticed by the rest of the campmates, especially Stacey who said: 'Shaun is as happy as Larry.

'I don’t know if its just because Gillian’s gone but he’s had a really good morning and I think he’s going to have a really good day today. Singing, dancing, smiling, that’s the Shaun we know and love.'

And later Jenny commented that Gillian had predicted her departure from the show, adding: 'She packed her bags, she had her coat ready, she’s a witch…she knew when she was going.'

Later in the show, the celebrities were seen trying to decide which of them would take part in the Bushtucker Trial, Savage Garden Centre.

Dom quickly volunteered for the trial in order to redeem himself after refusing to spend a night in the cave of terror the night before.

He said: 'I should do it as I didn’t go in the cave and I’ve not done one for a while. I’m going to have to face it. I don't know what this one is so it's a risk.'

The celebrities were treated to a game of pass the parcel but it wasn't as fun as it first appeared

Stacey looked as though she was having fun as Dom passed her the parcel

On his way to the trial, Dom explained: 'One of the reasons I did this today is that I felt I needed to get out and get the adrenaline pumping - I like adrenaline and I like being under pressure.'

When he got to the trial clearing, Dom was told he would have to try and find seven stars that were hidden in a giant greenhouse, two water pots and giant dung heap that made up the Savage Garden Centre.

A clue to the location of each star was given by a garden gnome before the 30 second limit to find the star began. Dom was also told the star would have to be placed in a wheelbarrow before the 30 seconds ran out for it to count and be considered a meal for camp.

But Dom wasn't too happy about the trial, telling Ant and Dec: 'It wasn't what I was hoping for. I'll be brutally honest with you, lads.' For the first star, Dom was told to 'check out those boxes on the side' by the garden gnome, and quickly rummaged through to find the star before the time ran out - seemingly unconcerned by the rats inside the boxes.

Dom was disgusted when he found out there were cockroaches in the package

However, he was unable to locate the second star in the set time. At one point Dom muttered: 'This is it, the lowest moment in my television career!' He then won a further two stars but lost out on the rest despite the fact he declared before he started: ' I want to beat Aggro because he’s a very tough rapper and I want to disrespect him to the max.'So, at the end of the task, Dom only succeeded in getting three stars for camps - meaning three meals to share between the seven remaining celebrities.

Afterwards, he said: 'That was Aggro level, I’m very disappointed with that - it spells loser to me.' Coming back to camp to inform the celebrities of his trial result, Dom said: 'I thought I’d chicken out, there were spiders there but I threw them across the room, I also got dung on Ant and Dec so that deserves a star. 'I did it all but it was just more annoying that I couldn't find them. But there's nothing I can do about it.'

Yuk! Kayla started screaming when she found a 'leech' on her arm, but her fellow celebrities played the incident down

Later the celebrities were treated to a game of pass the parcel, to the soundtrack of In The Jungle. Wearing party hats, the stars passed around the box, but it was Linford who opened the first layer to find hoards of cockroaches.

Dom said: 'Seriously, for one night, just leave the bloody cockroaches!' And Kayla added: 'This games sucks, we should be getting food, they know how hungry we are.'Each layer of the parcel contained a gift from a former contestant, and the first one had Gillian McKeith's own brand health bars inside.

But Dom was less than impressed with the gift, saying: 'Would you eat them? Look at the way she has behaved for the past three weeks, would you really think, "I need whatever health bar she's eating?" Come on!

Linford was the latest celebrity to be voted off

Other gifts include coconut butter from Alison Hammond and antiseptic wipes from Britt Eckland. And it seems being in the jungle is taking its toll on Dom and Jenny, who both admitted they are bored with the conversation between campmates and living in the jungle.

Jenny said: 'I’ve felt fine, weepy, mad, fine, weepy mad today and I’m not sure I can go through another day. It’s like time has stood still like groundhog day.' Dom added: 'I’ve had it with this endless round of conversation, I need to talk to someone else, if you weren’t here I would have definitely walked, I need to talk about something else, I sit here and listen to endless conversations about sh** music I hate.

'It is groundhog day in ever decreasing circles, I could very much do with Kayla going. She’s really annoying me for no reason at all it’s totally not her fault, it’s mine.' And while Jenny said Kayla hasn't been annoying her, she added: 'She doesn’t do anything for me at all. I try to be sympathetic but she’s totally disinterested in me and what I do, she’s only asked me one question, what I used my mayonnaise for at home. She told me today she’s worried about her cat.'

Dom agreed: 'That’s the big emotional issue of her life. I think she finds you frightening because you are old. You represent her future.' Slightly offended, Jenny replied: 'I’m trying not to be insulted by that! She finds Hugh Hefner a bit disgusting to her credit, she cringes about all the girls who actually sleep with him.

'In the evening, the camp were given three kangaroo sausages following Dom's performance in the trial. And while Dom said he shouldn't have any of the meat, the rest of the camp insisted he should have a little bit of the sausage.

However, Kayla started to annoy Linford when she tried to put herbs and seasoning in with the beans. He later said: 'I do not like taking orders in the kitchen. The person who is cooking should do the cooking.'

With only seven celebrities left in the camp, conversation topics are starting to dry up, prompting Shaun to tell his campmates about his troubled childhood involving vandalism, theft and selling stolen goods.

The singer admitted: 'As a child I loved getting chased and climbing, also stealing and entering and vandalism. On our industrial estate we had a Schweppes and a Bulmers and by the age of 12 I’d screwed the lot of them.

'I robbed them all. I sold the booze to an ice cream man. Once someone broke into our junior school, chopped the heads off the hamster and guinea pigs, sh** all over the place, smashed the place up and wrote Shaun Ryder on the blackboard. They spelled me name wrong of course.

'Before I was ten, three kids grabbed hold of me and held me down while one booted the hell out of me.

'We also used to get ping pong balls put them in silver paper, burn them and they’d be smoke bombs.'

Kayla Collins strips to her bikini for some slap and tickle in the pool with Aggro Santos

As a former Playboy model, she's hardly the shy and retiring type. And so when all celebrities ventured to the jungle pool for a dip, Kayla Collins was certainly ready to put on a show. The I'm A Celebrity contestant stripped down to a sexy pink and black polka dot bikini - and certainly made a splash

The pair crash into the icy cold water as part of a secret mission in which Stacey, Dom, Jenny and Shaun had to convince their fellow campmates to take a dip

Not missing a trick, rapper Aggro Santos valiantly offered his service as he helped Kayla into the icy waters, by scooping her up and taking the plunge together.

They were joined by the rest of their campmates after Stacey Solomon, Dom Joly and Jenny Eclair and Shaun Ryder convinced them to go for a swim as part of their secret mission.

It was one of three challenges the foursome had to complete in order to win the challenge, which the duly did, in order to win treats as well as letters from family members.

Aggro appeared to have no qualms in assisting Kayla into the water

The other parts of the secret challenge saw the foursome have to teach the campmates to count to ten in Korean and burn to items of Linford Christies clothing - without telling their fellow contestants about their secret task.

Meanwhile back in camp, contestant Gillian McKeith was attempting to make amends with Shaun Ryder after yesterday's blow out. The pair had argued over a Celebrity Chest Challenge which involved retrieving keys from a freezing pool of water.

Britt Ekland was excluded from the task on medical grounds, seen here watching on as the rest of the celebs cavort in the pool

After enduring the TV nutritionist's moans and screams, the Happy Mondays frontman complained: 'You're a f****** irritating woman.' McKeith countered that it was 'disgusting' the way he spoke to people, prompting the singer to retort: 'You say the nasty things all the time...your tone, everything. The way you speak to everyone.' He later accused her of lying to fellow campmates over her role in the challenge.

Linford Christie was not so keen to go in, but his fellow campers eventually coerced him in

'Not only are you full of bulls***, you're a lying bull ****er,' he said. McKeith extended an olive branch to Ryder today. 'I think we should show that we can get along. It was awful yesterday. By the time I got down to the chest I was feeling ill.

Dom Joly was hoisted onto a swing to take part in the egg and spoon challenge

He was assisted by Britt Ekland, who was roped into the challenge too

'I don't want to be at war with anyone; it's very draining. It will be good for both of us to make it work, to make an effort. Ryder appeared a little unsure though, telling the Bush Telegraph: 'Every day I make an effort and straight away she's on my case about something. 'Every day is a new day and I take it as a new start: the woman is totally up her own arse.'

But he later agreed to put the row behind them. Elsewhere it was an emotional day for comedian Dom Joly and athlete Linford Christie. Both welled up with tears after receiving mementos from loved ones as a reward for the camp passing the secret mission task.

Bikini babe Lizzie Cundy shows ex Jason exactly what he's missing as she gets ready for I'm A Celebrity

She split from husband Jason just last month. And Lizzie Cundy is already determined to show the former Spurs footballer exactly what his missing by displaying her incredible bikini body in a series of tiny two-pieces. The 42-year-old former WAG poured herself into a miniscule white and black leopard-print bikini as she made the most of the sunshine on a beach in Miami.

Bikini babe: Lizzie showed ex Jason exactly what he is missing in the tiny two-piece

Lizzie's photo opportunity also comes just weeks before she is apparently due to start filming reality TV show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! The mother-of-two is said to be one of the stars who have already signed up for the ITV reality show, along with former Olympic champion Linford Christie and presenter Gail Porter. A source told the Daily Mirror recently: 'It will do her the world of good. She has been through a really tough time lately.'

　

I'm A Celebrity is famous for its female contestants, such as Myleene Klass and Katie Price, showing off their figures in the jungle shower

And despite having lost a lot of weight following her split from Jason, who left her for opera singer Hannah Pedley, Lizzie was quoted recently as saying she has been told not to get any thinner ahead of the series start.

She said: 'I was told not to lose any more weight. The producers made it clear that starving yourself to try and get used to the hunger was a bad idea.'

I'm A Celebrity is famous for securing stunning female celebrities who entice viewers with their daily cold showers under a fountain in the Australian jungle.

Myleene Klass famously enjoyed a huge career comeback after wearing that little white bikini for her cold water wash, while Katie Price also showed off her figure in a series of swimwear last year on the show.

Lembit Opik, Danielle Lineker and actress Britt Ekland are all rumoured to be taking part in the new series when it starts later this month.

Stacey Solomon and Sheryl Gascoigne’s swimwear face-off as they get ready to head into camp

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! traditionally sees its female contestants battle it out in a series of bikini wars when they get into the Australian jungle. But for Stacey Solomon and Sheryl Gascoigne, the swimwear face-off started early, as the pair showed off their svelte figures in an impromptu photoshoot on the beach.

And while it's the second day of Stacey showing she has what it takes to be crowned the next Myleene Klass, it's the first time we have seen 45-year-old Sheryl display her beach-ready body.

Wearing a classy black and white halterneck swimsuit, Sheryl looked impressively toned and taut as she strolled along the beach, making the most of her last few moments of her freedom before the show starts on Sunday night.

Careful! Stacey lent back slightly too far as she showed off her body in a tartan string two-piece

But Stacey, 20, opted for a slightly more revealing swimwear option, baring her body in a tartan string two-piece which highlighted her curves.

The pair will be joined by fellow female celebrities actress Britt Ekland, Playboy Playmate Kayla Collins and Gillian McKeith as they set up their temporary home in 'Camp Sheila' in the Aussie jungle.

Discussing the prospect of going into the jungle, mother-of-three Sheryl admitted she was feeling 'nervous' about how she would cope in such an extreme situation.

Sheryl looks in great shape for her 45 years, and splashed about in the sea for her photos

She said: 'I hope I don’t break down - but I can’t guarantee it. You are in a very different environment. I have been a mum for 24 years and I really do not know how I will be.

'The hardest thing for me is definitely being away from the children, particularly my youngest son Regan.

'Regan and I are very close and being away is going to be really tough.' And Sheryl also revealed she came close to turning down the chance to appear on the show for a third time this year, after having been asked to take part for the past two series.

While Stacey went for a revealing bikini, Sheryl covered up more in a black one-piece

She said:'I am a very mad person! They approached me last year, and again earlier this year. I said no on both occasions. I swore I wouldn’t do it.

'But my friends really want me to do it as they think people will get a chance to see the real me – and so I decided to say yes. My kids are very excited and they have always said I should do it. I guess I will give them some street cred now!

I do really love the programme. I think Ant and Dec are geniuses and weirdly as it now approaches, I am getting excited. I have never done anything like this before and it’s going to be an experience - that's for sure.'

Stacey reclines on the beach as she shows off her best glamorous poses on the beach

It was revealed this morning that the contestants will be divided into male and female camps - Camp Bruce and Camp Sheila - before they are flown into a luxury villa for champagne and canapes.

But what the celebrities don't know is that they won't be able to enjoy the relaxing start to the show for very long, as they will be faced with their first Bushtucker Trial.

The contestants will be split into two groups to take part in what has been billed as one of the muckiest tasks to date. And while the winners will be treated to a last night of luxury in the villa, the losers will be taken straight to a 'mystery jungle camping spot' for their debut evening in the jungle.

Stacey and Sheryl popped on their glad rags as they arrived to meet their fellow contestants

While Stacey Solomon is currently favourite to win the show with odds of 3/1, she also has the same odds for following in Katie Price's footsteps by walking out.

Despite becoming something of a national treasure when she appeared on X Factor, sources believe the singer's slightly flaky attitude could lead to her getting fed up of slumming it in the jungle. But Stacey insists she is prepared for the programme.

Here come the girls: Gillian McKeith, Kayla Collins and Britt Ekland all gear up for their jungle entrance

She said recently: 'Everything about it appeals to me. I watched it for years and years and years. And finally I've got the opportunity to go on. How could I say no?? 'I'm very very very excited about going in the jungle. Oh my god!!!　 I'd love to be Queen of the Jungle - I'll try really really hard to make it happen!'

However, Stacey has some competition from Playboy Playmate Kayla Collins, who will no doubt be competing with the mother-of-one in the bikini wars. Asked recently if she would be showing off her figure in swimwear in the jungle, Kayla said: 'Of course I will be wearing bikinis. I have a new swimwear line coming out in 2011 and I will be taking lots of my own outfits.'

Nigel Havers and Lembit Opik are among the men on the show... and Lembit is determined to win

And among the male contestants, former MP Lembit Opik is one of the most competitive, admitting he is desperate to be crowned King of the Jungle.

He said: 'I am competitive. There is no point going into a competition if you don’t aim to win. This isn’t an election, but it would be nice given what happened to me in the last General Election, to at long last win a vote.

'That would mean a lot to me. I am playing to win, and all I can do is my best. I will accept the public’s verdict.' I'm A Celebrity starts on ITV on Sunday night at 9pm.
