I’m A Celebrity viewers found Carol's confession amusing and took to Twitter to post about her comments. One fan joked: “Never need armbands with Carol around!,” while another said: “HAHA Carol.”
Once the trial started Dec couldn’t resist making another reference to Carol’s famous ‘rear,’ he said: “That's the problem with having Britain's most buoyant bottom. It's difficult to get down!” while Ant replied: “Very difficult!”
The 'Tanks of Torment' trial saw her swim through sea creatures to gain stars and meals for the camp. Although the challenge started with a giggle, it ended with Carol in tears as she wasn’t able to complete the trial due to her fear of drowning.

Hide AdCarol could only move from one section to the next, when Fatima cranked the handle to open the connecting doors. However, when it came to the last section of the tanks it became too much for Carol to handle.
It was filled with snakes of all sizes and before entering Carol realised that there was a large snake waiting for her inside the breathing room. Carol had managed to collect seven stars, but the prospect of going into the last tank made her panic and she became visibly emotional.
She admitted to Fatima, Ant and Dec that she couldn’t go ahead with the trial because she has a fear of drowning. Carol said: “I can't do that. I'm not sure I want to do it. I've got this fear of drowning.I have this real fear of drowning. And it's like my ultimate fear.”.
