Timmy Mallett successfully brought home all 12 stars - but still irritated his camp mates.
The presenter refused to tell his fellow celebrities how he had fared in the 'Critter Chaos' challenge until he had explained his ordeal - which saw him showered with bugs as he unscrewed stars from the walls of a Perspex coffin - sparking annoyance from the other contestants.
After repeatedly ignoring questions about how many stars he had collected, Timmy finally replied: "I bring home 12", before handing out bugs he had saved from the trial to his camp mates, causing concerns he would bring on an infestation.
Nicola McLean later ranted about him in the Bush Telegraph, noting: "He must be the only person ever to have brought back 12 stars and still got on everyone's nerves".
Prior to beginning the trial, Timmy told 'I'm A Celebrity. Get Me Out Of Here!' presenters Ant and Dec that he felt he had to do it or risk another altercation with Robert Kilroy-Silk, whom he had infuriated by laughing during Thursday's live trial.
He said: "I could go back to camp with nothing at all and Robert would go bosh and punch me. I'd rather face 50,000 critters anytime."
