I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here Day 7: Rodney Marsh faced his fear of heights in the Catch a Crawling Star trial but was left exhausted by the experience, describing it as the most physically demanding thing he had ever done. The challenge involved Rodney and Janice having to make their way out simultaneously across two cables suspended high over the valley balancing on their stomachs with only their legs as counterweight. One person would be on the top wire and would have to grab a series of red star flags on the wire. The other person would be on the wire below and their job was to then catch these and place them in a star bag.
Janice decided she should go on the top wire with Rodney below. It was her job to release the star flags and Rodneys job to try to catch them.
Ant told them:" The person on the bottom is going to find it difficult to look up. The person on the wire above is going to give a lot of instruction."Dec asked:" Which one of you do you think is a good talker?"Janice said: "Hes a sloppy bottom. Im a happy top."
Rodney agreed: "Ill go on the bottom yes."Ant asked them had they got a fear of heights. Rodney replied that he had.
Janice then gave him a pep talk:" You dont even think about it. It isnt like eating grubs or croc cock, like John."
Rodney joked: "No youre right. You got me over it in no time."The pair were dressed for the challenge in blue leotards and red helmets.
Janice told Rodney: "My God, you look like a lady bug."
Janice and Rodney then made their way across their wires and within minutes Rodney lost his balance and was left hanging from his safety harness.
As he was brought back to terra firma to start all over again Janice was left balancing on her wire.
Rodney told her: "Stay there, stay there Janice."
Janice shouted: "What the fuck do I do?"By now Janice had reached the first flag and was left balancing while Rodney made his way out below her.
But as he made his way towards Janice he lost his balance again and had to be brought back to the start to try again. Rodney shouted: "Im sorry Janice, darling. Hang on there I just cant do this Im really struggling. Im going to keep going though Im going to keep trying."
Janice reassured him: "Come on its a picnic."
Ant asked whether he was finding it tough.
Rodney admitted: "Youve no idea. Its physically hard."
Ant asked: "Are you happy there Janice, are you okay?"
Janice said: "Im having a picnic."
Dec asked: "Youre still alright, yeah?"
Janice joked: "You know what Ant and Dec, this is not the time for romance."
Rodney told her: "Youre being fantastic. You wouldnt believe I was a footballer would you?"
But he was left hanging once more leaving Janice to comment: "I feel like a flamingo," as she balanced on the high wire.
Eventually Rodney managed to position himself on the wire below Janice and catch a star flag which he then deposited in the star bag.
Dec told him: "Well done Rodney thats a meal for camp."
He added: "You look like Spiderman on that wire."
But by the half time mark Rodney slipped again and by the end of the trial he had slipped off the wire seven times and each time he had to be brought back to the beginning to start again while Janice was left waiting.
As Rodney made his way out yet another time Janice directed him so that he could line up on the wire directly below her. He managed to catch the second star flag and they went for a third but he missed the flag and it fell into the valley below and then their time ran out.
They were brought back to the start position to be met by Ant and Dec and as Rodney lay on the floor breathing heavily Janice cried out: "Oxygen, oxygen, get him some oxygen."
Rodney replied: "No, Im all right."
Rodney told her: "Janice youre a star darling. Im absolutely knackered."
Janice told him "Youre the star."
She then wafted her hands across his face and he told her: "Youre not putting out a fire."
Janice then relived her ordeal as she explained: "The thing with me was, Ant, Dec, Rodney and the UK, Im up there and these wasps they were out there flying around buzzing round my ears then a fly landed on my nose and I was like aw aw."
Rodney then told them: "I dont think Ive ever done anything as physically demanding."
Rodney blamed it on: "Lack of food, lack of sleep."
Janice added: "Lack of sex."
Before making their way back to camp to break the news that they had only won two meals Rodney said: "Ive got one thing to say to all the people who voted me to do this - bollocks."
Janice added: "All the people who voted for him, thanks for voting for him."
Rodney told them he wanted the others to share the food but that he wouldnt be eating that night.
