Lisa Riley scooped an impressive eight stars in her first solo Bushtucker Trial, Mine Of Misery on I’m A Celebrity on Sunday night.
After being voted for by the public, the soap star, 49, faced rats, spiders, mealworms and green ants in the underground abandoned diamond mine.
Lisa arrived at the Bushtucker Trial clearing, where she greeted hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly. She said: ‘Hello you delicious duo’.
The actress had to hunt for diamond stars in the pitch black and avoid dummy diamonds that had four sides and didn’t contain a star.
With eleven minutes to collect eleven stars and Lisa in position in the mine, the klaxon sounded.
As she crawled into the first section, she was joined by rats as she squealed and felt around for a star, first picking up a dummy diamond and also a camera (much to Ant & Dec’s amusement) before putting them both back.

She successfully got her first diamond in that section and put it in her bag ready to move on to the next part on the mine.
Next cockroaches joined Lisa, as she successfully got her second star. Mealworms and green ants were next, followed by offal and fish guts, then finally, spiders.
As the timer sounded, Lisa successfully got eight diamonds (and no dummy diamonds) out of a possible eleven.
Back in camp, new leader Shona had made herself a robe out of a sleeping bag and a crown out of a large jungle leaf.
Lisa returned delighted to tell her fellow celebrities the good news, as the camp cheered her on for getting eight of eleven stars.
It comes after former Lioness Alex Scott was the first contestant to be voted off.
Alex, 41, was made vulnerable after the favourite to leave first, comedian Eddie Kadi, was exempt from the public vote because he won the live trial.
The pundit got a huge round of applause from her campmates as she quickly grabbed her bag and left the I’m A Celebrity camp for a final time.

Speaking to host Ant and Dec, she said: ‘I’m free! It feels strange and doesn’t feel real. Now I’m like, “Oh, I’m out.”‘
Asked whether she is ‘disappointed’ to be the first voted-out, Alex insisted: ‘Oh no! It has been an incredible experience and mentally it has been tough but I am so glad I got to do it with so many amazing campmates.
‘The laughter we have had and we really connected and making the bonds that we did.’
I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! airs every night at 9pm on ITV1, STV, ITVX and STV Player.
