I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! contestant Babatúndé Aleshe was left 'vexed' after being voted by the public to take part in 'Horrifying Heights'.

The Celebrity Gogglebox star hasn't had the best of luck with trials so far due to his fear of heights, and actually couldn't complete the first trial of the series. The first task of the series sees celebs walk to the end of a wobbling platform from an enormous height, but Babatúndé backed out at the last minute.

On Tuesday nights episode, he learned he would be facing Horrifying Heights as voted for by the public and exclaimed: “The more I think about it the more I’m actually getting vexed. You guys, why did you pick me?”

Mike told him: “Focus on the stars, believe in yourself.” Babatúndé said: “I hope I do better than last time honestly. I hope that I can overcome this, I honestly do.”

Speaking to Ant and Dec, Babatúndé joked of why the public picked him: “Because they’re evil. I clearly proved to them that I don’t like heights.”

Viewers previously expressed their disbelief that Babatúndé was one of the celebrities who openly admitted their fears just minutes into the series. Fans took to Twitter after the comedian called the public 'evil'.

One wrote: "Babatunde saying he's fine on #ImACeleb as he goes to do the trial is as convincing as any woman in history saying 'I'm fine'" Another said: "HAHAHAHA we’re all evil x #ImACeleb "

"I’m evil I voted Babatunde to do this but didn’t factor in the rain or you know how terrified he is ….. ooops #ImACeleb," a third wrote.

Explaining the trial Ant said: “This is Horrifying Heights. All you have to do is make your way around collecting the stars as you go along.” Dec: “And that’s all he has to do?”
