Matt Hancock, Sue Cleaver and Jill Scott were allowed to leave the I’m A Celebrity jungle on Thursday — after winning the chance to host a surf ‘n’ turf BBQ on the beach.
Jill, Mike Tindall, and Owen Warner were chosen by their campmates to take on the Scareground challenge, writing their fellow players’ names on balls before entering them into a raffle.
Three winners were selected and the lucky trio managed to escape the conditions of the camp for a day.

And judging by these photos, Owen, who loves food, wasn’t allowed on the trip, despite the group writing his name on the balls so he would be chosen.
The group also all had to strip off their smelly jungle clothes to wear T-shirts with their faces on the front.
Prior to the trip in the Bush Telegraph, Mike Tindall admitted: ‘On a beach, BBQ, surf and turf… sounds absolutely amazing.’
Chris Moyles said, “I should go, ‘Look guys, even if I win I’ll give it to someone else,’ but I won’t.”

The outing comes after allegations that not everything about the camp is as real as it seems.
The waterfall where the camp mates take a shower is actually a man-made water feature that goes on and off.
In 2006, Lauren Booth revealed in the Daily Mail: ‘The waterfall, like the pool below it, was not part of the jungle at all, but a man-made creation.’
She added, “Unless, of course, every afternoon between three and six ‘real’ rainforest falls are knocked out.”
In the same year, David Gest also discovered that the rocks scattered around the camp were false as well.
They turned out to be made of paper mache and hollow inside so that cameramen could hide inside.
A source close to the show previously spoke about the fake set, explaining that certain things have to be built by hand, “because they don’t naturally occur where one would want them to be.”
Though the celebrities are often seen gathering wood for the campfire, this task is made easier for them.
The wood is pre-dried and chopped into pieces, then scattered over a wide area by TV crews so that the stars can be sent out to find it.
Sources close to the show explain that they cannot allow the celebs to be let loose with an ax and they also need to protect wildlife and the forest.
Meanwhile, the rain that celebrities often complain about is less of a problem than it seems.
There is actually a retractable canopy 50 ft in the air above the camp, to keep the stars from getting soaked and to keep the campfire going.
It’s been decided that it would be unsafe to leave the celebrities in a rainy jungle without any shelter, not to mention bad TV.
However, it is not completely weatherproof, nor does it cover the entire camp, while it leaks when it rains too hard.
And one source insisted to The Daily Mail: ‘Much of the camp isn’t sheltered – it’s not like the roof at Wimbledon!’
Since 2016, a secret hidden cave has also been built next to the shower in the camp.
The private hideout was used as the mole headquarters of Matt Hancock and Sean Walsh when they were nominated as camp moles.
