Timmy Mallett and David Van Day are being held captive in the jungle.

The former children's TV presenter and Dollar singer were trapped in giant nets as they headed to join existing contestants on 'I'm A Celebrity. Get Me Out Of Here!'.

Timmy was the first captured, when a net swooped him up as he bent down to pick up a cake.

Screaming and shouting but unable to escape, he eventually heard footsteps and called for help, saying: "Who's there? You've got to help me. I feel like the child catcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang."

As David walked into view and smugly enjoyed Timmy's plight, he was suddenly swept off his feet by another net and the pair watched helplessly as cages were constructed on the jungle floor before the two celebrities were lowered into their makeshift prisons.

Resigned to his fate, Timmy moaned: "We're in here for a long time."

However, help could soon be on the way for the two stars after their future camp mates were notified of their plights.

Martina Navratilova was called to the Bush Telegraph and given instructions to read out, along with Polaroid pictures of the captured pair.

Returning to the camp, she read: "There are two new camp mates being held captive in the jungle. They will be in prison until morning. You have the ability to ease their situation but only if certain demands are met. Await further instruction."

She later received further instructions, which read: "To make your captive campmates first night in the jungle you must pay a ransom.

"Give up one luxury item each and that means all of us and they will be given food tonight. Or they will go hungry."

Later, the celebrities were given a second choice, "Give up two stars and we will release one right now.

"If you chose the ransom you must decide which celebrity you want."

The outcome of their decisions can be seen on tonight's 'I'm A Celebrity. Get Me Out Of Here!'.
