Snoochie Shy and Louise Minchin, 53, won the terrifying plank challenge on the first episode of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

The pair and some of their fellow celebrities had to take it in pairs to walk across a rig in the Walk The Plank task in order to win keys to have access to the main camp in the Castle and to eat that night.

After the task the radio DJ, Snoochie, 29, gave Louise an emotional hug as Ant and Dec revealed that she would be joining Louise on the red team.

Explaining the challenge before they started host Declan Donnelly said: 'The winning team will get to pick which two celebrities from the other group will represent them in the next challenge.'

Co-host Ant McPartlin said: 'The team that wins the keys will have access to the main camp in the Castle, where you will get a bed, and you will eat tonight. 

'Whilst the losers will be banished to the Castle Clink and be on basic rations. Not the place you want to be.' 

Once the gameplay was established they all turned to look at the terrifying planks.

Dec said: 'In front of you are two planks, which get narrower as you progress out over the quarry. 

'You must step over the gaps in the planks and make your way to the yellow gameplay zone at the end, which is 213 feet above the lake. Once you are both there, the game will begin.'

Ant said: 'Between the planks is a stack of lights. The red lights will start to flash and when the green light comes on, you must press the button with your foot. The first celebrity to hit their button will win and the loser will be dropped from their plank.'

First up was Louise vs Danny, they walked to the start of their planks and Ant and Dec asked them how they were feeling.

Louise looked at her plank and said: 'I can't think of many things worse than this right now, it's terrifying.'

Danny sarcastically said 'I can't wait', Ant turned to Dec and said 'A little bit sarcastic there', Dec smiled and said 'little bit.'

Once Louise and Danny started to play their game the infamous 'plank wobble' returned as they tried to keep their balance 213 feet above the quarry lake.

They both reached the end of their planks and anxiously waited for the green light to appear.

The green light appeared and both Danny and Louise pressed their foot down on the buzzer, it turned out Louise completed the challenge in the quickest time and Danny's plank dropped and he was left dangling in the air.

Ant and Dec revealed that Louise would now be the first member of the red team and Danny would be the first member of the yellow team.

Next up were Snoochie and Naughty Boy who both walked to the end of their planks, Snoochie's plank really wobbled as she reached the end.

It had all proved too much for Snoochie as she found herself screaming in terror while hanging above an abandoned quarry.

However, Snoochie got more than she bargained for when her plank started to wobble as soon as she stepped on, prompting her to shout: 'I'm gonna drop!'

The light turned green and Snoochie screamed as she pressed her buzzer. 

It turned out she was the quickest so Naughty Boy's plank dropped and he was left dangling in the air. 

Ant told the yellow team that meant they'd have David Ginola and Arlene Phillips join them. Football fan Danny was happy about that 'David Ginola, I absolutely love him, I can't wait to meet him.'

 It was also announced that Naughty Boy would join Danny on the yellow team.

Once the show hosts told Louise and Snoochie that as winners they got to choose two celebrities from the other group to join them.

The pair decided on Matty and Kadeena, Louise said 'We're going with Matty Lee and Kadeena Cox because you cannot go against gold medalists in our opinion.'

The celebs were taken from Gwrych Castle, to secluded field near Caernarfon, a distance of around 40 miles. 

Co-host Ant McPartlin said of the challenge: 'This year is going to be tougher than ever, all the celebrities will face grueling challenges on their way to the castle to win the keys to the Castle.' 

Declan Donnelly added: 'And you will all face the first challenge, but not as a team. Instead, you will be going head to head. In this first challenge Louise [Minchin] you will face Danny [Miller] and Naughty Boy you will face Snoochie.' 

Louise Minchin and Danny Miller were the first up for the task, with Dec saying: 'You can both make your way along the plank and into the yellow game play zone.'

'Come on girl you got this man,' Danny said to Louise.

'It's amazing how suddenly walking in a straight line get so much harder, Dec remarked as he watched the stars struggle through the challenge.  

'You're in the game play zone. Remember when you see the light turn green that's when you hit the button in front of you with your feet,' Dec said.

'Oh my God!' Snoochie screamed as she started to wobble again with Ant saying: 'Oh she's going'.  

Scary: Snoochie does not have the best time while making her way across and had to pretend there was a party at the end of it

Keeping calm: While Naughty Boy took his time to cross

It comes after Ant and Dec were gearing up for the new series of I'm A Celebrity with a walk around the Welsh countryside on Wednesday. 

The presenting duo took to their Instagram account and shared a snap of themselves taking in the sights near Gwrych Castle in North Wales ahead of the launch episode on Sunday which will also see Richard Madeley and Frankie Bridge take on the first trial. 

The pair grinned at the camera in the snap as Ant sported a black hoodie and joggers while Dec wore a black jacket and matching trousers.

Meanwhile, Gwrych Castle has been said to be haunted by ghosts and people who practiced 'the dark arts' on the grounds of the estate. 

Ghost hunter Nick Stoppani previously took part in a paranormal investigation of the castle in 2017 and believes it is haunted.

He told The Sun: 'It's a haunted place. I believe people with bad intentions have practiced witchcraft and the dark arts there - things like sacrifices and spells.

'One of my colleagues who was also on the investigation had an overwhelming sense of there being witches or witchcraft there too.

'In another section of the castle, I asked the spirits to make a tapping sound to indicate how many spirits were in the room and I heard three taps.'

Nick added that he thinks Richard would be the ideal celebrity to experience paranormal activity as he 'wouldn't take the mickey'.

The ghost hunter added that certain things can attract spirits, like a person being in a low mood or feeling weak or off-guard and said he hopes this year's crop of celebrities are a happy group for their own sakes.

Along with the Walk The Plank task, the first episode of the long-awaited return of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! will see Richard take to the Turrets of Terror.

Richard and Frankie Bridge were voted by the public to compete in the Turrets of Terror which will see them have to retrieve the key to the castle which is situated in Wales for a second year in a row, where they will live for the next three weeks.

The 2021 series of the ITV show, which begins on Sunday, will be the longest duration stars have spent in the haunted Welsh castle, as this year's programme lasts three weeks, with a total of 25 cruel challenges.

For Richard and Frankie's challenge, Ant explained: 'Hanging high in the air between the two turrets are two giant keys. The first celebrity to make their way to the top and grab their key will win.' 

He went on: 'Each Turret is made up of three floors with stairs leading to the next level. However, to get to the next level you need to go through a locked gate. 

'On each floor you must retrieve the keys to unlock the three padlocks to open each gate. When you get to the roof of the turret you must use your lance to hook your key and drag it over to you. The first celebrity to retrieve their key has won.'   

Because it was a Trial, both Frankie and Richard had to endure the challenge with critters all
