I’m A Celebrity’s Richard Coles issues six-word response after ‘dreaded’ Cyclone challenge

star Reverend Richard Coles had a lot to say after competing in the “dreaded” Cyclone challenge.

The ITV show returned to screens on Saturday night (December 7) for its epic Cyclone episode. The coveted challenge is an iconic feature of I’m A Celeb – and the celebs battling it out in this series are Richard, Coleen Rooney, Oti Mabuse and Danny Jones.

Meeting hosts Ant and Dec at the area, the famous faces rocked their best superhero outfits. And soon enough, it was time for them to take on the Cyclone.

All excited and raring to go, Coleen, Danny, Oti and Richard took their positions on the spinning twister, as the water jets started up.

When the fireball launched, Richard set off to collect all four stars and landed in the water trench. Ant and Dec joked: “You can’t walk on water!”

With one minute gone, Richard was successfully in place. Next came Oti who collected three stars from Richard and took them to the third marker whilst being pelted with wind, water and balls by the rangers.

Once she was in place, Coleen followed, but once she was at Oti the wind and the water washed one of the stars away, so she had to run after it and make the long journey back to the third star marker.

Last was Danny and he leaped into action, diving onto the course.

When he was nearly at his fourth star there was a huge washout sending a wave of coloured water and bouncy balls down the course as the celebrities slid down away from their places.

After a few setbacks, Danny was the last celebrity to crawl to the fourth and final marker, running and jumping into place to make it an epic finale.

The celebrities all jumped and slid into the water trench to celebrate their four-star win as they headed back to join Ant and Dec. When the hosts asked if they really enjoyed the trial, Danny said: “Every minute! I wanna do it again.”

Coleen said of the challenge: “It reminded me of a sunny day in the Rooney back garden! Slip and slide.” Danny then asked her: “Can we come?”

Meanwhile, Richard said of his experience of the Cyclone: “I was sort of dreading the Cyclone because it’s got so many things in it I don’t like, falling over, being squirted with cold water and being hit with stuff.

“It was fantastic, I loved it, I wish we could do it again! Four stars from four campmates, we worked as a team. Mission accomplished.”

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! Final airs tomorrow night at 9pm.
