Boy George, Chris and Mike Tindall all immediately showed their interest before Seann Walsh put himself forward too, saying he was "sick of being a coward". 

George then decided that he would face the challenge alongside Seann and Mike, leaving Chris out. 

Speaking in the Bush Telegraph, Chris said: "I'm like, 'Hello…' then I wasn't in the running anymore because George wanted his new buddy Seann. I'm the old friend [of Boy George's], Seann's his new friend."

Chatting to Mike, the unimpressed radio DJ said: "Well, that escalated quickly… I'm like, 'Look, I'll do it. I'll put myself forward.' And then Seann goes, 'I’ll do it.' And then Boy George goes, 'It’s me, Seann and Mike.' Alright, George."

Chris was keen to do the latest trial 

Mike then asked: "Are you upset?" to which Chris then added: "I'm out then am I..?"

While Boy George felt the "right people" had been chosen for the challenge while speaking in the Bush Telegraph, Mike couldn't help but feel as though Chris should have had a chance. "I'm still wondering if we should have maybe let Chris have a go," he said. "I don’t know. I just don’t know what it could be. It could be a massive height, it could be underwater. There is a lot of scope for Grot Yoga I think."
