Tucker trials[edit]

The contestants take part in daily trials to earn food. These trials aim to test both physical and mental abilities. Success is usually determined by the number of stars collected during the trial, with each star representing a meal earned by the winning contestant for their camp mates.

  The public voted for who they wanted to face the trial
  The contestants decided who did which trial
  The trial was compulsory and neither the public nor celebrities decided who took part
  The contestants were chosen by the evicted celebrities
  The voting for the trial was of dual origin

Notes
  • ^1 Kerri-Anne, as an intruder, had to participate with Domenica in the Unsafe Crackers trial as part of her entry into the camp.
  • ^2 Kerri-Anne chose not to participate in the trial, as she said the words "I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!" prior to it beginning. As a result, Aesha had to complete the trial on her own and was only able to keep half the stars she won. Whilst Aesha won all 13 stars, the camp only received 6½ meals worth of dinner.
  • ^3 Kerri-Anne and Domenica had an argument at the end of the trial, after Kerri-Anne had refused to participate in the trial's second round, which was an 'all-or-nothing' challenge that all trialists had to complete to win their stars. Kerri-Anne left the trial early and returned to the camp before the rest of the group, where she announced that she was quitting the series and said the words "I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!".
  • ^4 Nick, as an intruder, had to participate with Liz in the Cliffhanger trial as part of his entry into the camp.
  • ^5 This trial was a prank on the celebrities - as all three attempted it, they received the full eight stars for camp.

Secret missions[edit]

The camp's secret mission: the worst day ever[edit]

On the first day, the camp mates were given a secret mission to make Peter Helliar's entry into camp the worst day ever without him noticing. During his entry into the jungle, the camp mates had to guess his identity incorrectly in a celebrity guessing challenge, ensure that he picked the shortest straw so that he had to retrieve a key from a snake-filled box and to call him by the incorrect name throughout his first night. The reward for completing the challenge was pillows for the camp.

Adam and Woody's secret mission: luxury splurge[edit]

In episode 5, Adam and Woody were given the opportunity to win their campmates' luxury items, by finding out each of their camp mate's biggest luxury splurge without them noticing. They were successful in completing the mission and the camp received their luxury items in the evening.

Debra and Nathan's secret mission: 3-metre distance[edit]

In episode 8, Debra and Nathan were separately given the opportunity to win their camp mates' crackers and Vegemite, by staying 3 metres away and close to each other without the other noticing. They were successful in completing the mission and the camp received the crackers and Vegemite in the evening.

Camp challenge: Piggy[edit]

In Episode 11, the campmates watched a video of a pig which had to choose between a cheesecake and pavlova, the video was paused and the camp mates had to guess which the pig would choose, and if guessed correctly they would receive the specific dessert. Everyone except Nathan guessed cheesecake, the pig chose the pavlova and both desserts were thrown out. Nathan wasn't happy…

Debra's secret mission : make 3 people say Miguel[edit]

In Episode 14, Debra was given a mission to get the camp some treats. It was given by the former and most recent king of the African jungle, the renowned chef : Miguel Maestre. She had the task to make 3 of the other campmates say the word 'Miguel'. She was successful and received the camp some scrumptious snacks and delicious drinks. Everyone praised Debra, but some were confused as to how Deb tricked them using her " forgetfulness " . Even after all the drama, the camp was happy to have some yummy desert.

Camp challenge: ignore the obvious[edit]

In Episode 16, the campmates were distracted by dancers, former campmate Dicko holding TimTams, rangers carrying egg & bacon rolls, a ranger in a ghillie suit and a schoolgirl playing a recorder in order to win a massive treat for camp. They had to ignore the obvious. They received alcohol and snacks in the evening as a reward for ignoring everything.
