Carol Vorderman left viewers hysterical on Tuesday night’s episode of I’m A Celebrity South Africa as she claimed she has “Britain’s most booyant bottom.”
The former Countdown star, 62, took part in a terrifying “Tanks of Torment” underwater challenge that saw her swim through sea creatures to get stars and meals for camp.
She was joined by Olympic athlete Fatima Whitbread, also 62, who showed off her almighty strength by using a lever to raise trap doors for Carol to swim through.
Before starting the challenge, Carol confessed that an unusual problem could likely hinder her from the task.
She told a very amused Ant and Dec, “The only problem I really have is that my bum always floats upwards.”
Hilarious confession: Carol Vorderman, 62, left viewers hysterical on Tuesday night’s I’m A Celebrity South Africa after saying she has ‘Britain’s most exuberant bum’
Uh oh: The former Countdown star was afraid her butt would prevent her from diving underwater in the ‘Tanks of Terror’ challenge
‘It’s the most buoyant thing in Britain!’
Viewers couldn’t help laughing at Carol’s very naughty admission as they rushed to Twitter.
One joked, “Never need bracelets with Carol around!”, while another simply exclaimed, “HAHA Carol.”
As Carol unscrewed the stars and put them on her bag, Dec couldn’t resist referring to her famous butt one more time.
The cheeky presenter added: ‘That’s the problem with Britain’s most floating bottom. It’s hard to come down!”, while Ant said, “Very hard!”
But even though she managed to win seven meals for camp, Carol ultimately failed to complete the challenge.
She looked shaky from the start as she swam among the gators and admitted, “I’m really not happy about this.”
Seeing a terrifying snake was the last straw for the TV personality, as it forced her to give up the challenge altogether, despite Fatima’s words of encouragement.

‘I’m really afraid of drowning. And it’s like my ultimate fear.”
It comes after Amir Khan became the third person to be evicted from the jungle of I’m A Celeb South Africa on Tuesday following a secret ballot by his campmates.
On Monday’s episode, the campmates learned that, in a dramatic first for the series, they would choose who was voted out of camp next.
And it was the former boxer, 36, who eventually lost his place in the camp after receiving the most votes from his campmates.
Speaking to hosts Ant and Dec after leaving camp, Amir expressed how proud he was of himself after overcoming his fears, noting how he had dealt with a snake during his final ordeal.
He also gushed about his second stint on the ITV show, commenting that it was one of the ‘best experiences I’ve ever had’, adding that it was ‘even better than Australia’.
The sportsman’s voice was no doubt influenced by the fact that he had previously stated that he was ready to leave because he missed his children.

Time to go: It was the former boxer, 36, who eventually lost his place in the camp after receiving the most votes from his campmates
After the vote was revealed, Georgia Toffolo said she felt so “distraught” that her buddy left.
While Janice Dickenson called him a “good egg,” and Paul Burrell added that he was a “trooper.”
After each vote in a secret ballot, the campmates woke up unsatisfied with the prospect of determining who leaves that morning.
Helen Flanagan said of the vote, “You feel bad,” while Georgia Toffolo added, “I’m not happy with my decision. I just felt I had to vote for someone.’
Myleene Klass said, “I’m thinking now, did I do the right thing?”
Amir commented, “This is not a holiday, it’s a competition and there has to be one legend, one winner.”
While Jordan Banjo agreed, “In the end there will only be one winner.”
Amir’s departure comes after Shaun Ryder and Gillian McKeith became the first stars to leave camp.
