The contestants took turns reading each other's letters aloud. Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver read Mike's message, which revealed that Zara refers to her husband as 'my love', while their children, Mia, 8, Lena, 4, and one-year-old Lucas, call him "papa". 

The letter read: "Hi my love, we are missing you so much and really needing some papa hugs, but glad you're sharing them with your campmates. 

"The girls are enjoying sports and throwing themselves into everything at the moment and the little man is loving life, smashing it up, learning some new words. Z, M, L and L. x."

The duo both volunteered to take part in the challenge, with Mike saying: "At the moment I am leader of the camp, but at the moment I haven't done any Trials and I feel that I want to contribute a bit more."

After arriving at the trial clearing, the pair were challenged with knocking back five stomach-churning drinks each for a chance to bag ten stars. Mike was faced with swallowing blended cockroaches and vomit fruit, as well as blended pig's penis, while Jill took on blended fish eyes and snails.

They managed to guzzle down all ten smoothies, heading back to the camp victorious.

Jill said: "I'm so glad we're taking ten stars back but I don't think I'll even want the meal!" while Mike agreed, adding: "There's something going on inside my stomach that isn't good." 

Jill told the camp: "Don't go drinking with Mike Tindall."
