I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! viewers didn't know where to look during last night's episode, with carnage occurring left, right and centre.
A fire broke out in camp, celebs were forced to hold their breath, and one star sparked mass panic after disappearing into thin air
Despite joining the show as a latecomer, radio star and clergyman Reverend Richard Coles has been a relatively relaxing presence in the Aussie jungle so far.
He left viewers in stitches earlier this week when he and GK Barry discussed their sex lives in a pretty NSFW conversation.

Today, however, the 62-year-old has gone viral for all the wrong reasons, after accidentally setting his clothes on fire whilst sitting around the camp.
Being that celebs have to wash their limited clothes, Coles last night hung his clothes above the central flames to dry, including his socks.
Suddenly, however, after taking his eyes off his laundry for several minutes, he totally missed one of his socks going up in smoke.
McFly musician Danny Jones and Coronation Street actor Alan Halsall were forced to intervene and extinguish the flames, with the singer lifting up one of his charred socks.
"Reverend Richard’s socks were blowing holy smoke across the jungle!" Danny joked.
Thankfully, however, attention quickly turned to Tuesday night's Bushtucker Trial, with Love Island star Maura Higgins and Loose Women panellist Jane Moore having been voted to take it on.
Many viewers were seemingly relieved with the result of the vote, with controversial Radio 1 presenter Dean McCullough having yelled, 'I'm a celebrity, get me out of here' on several occasions, forfeiting countless meals for his campmates.
So much so, that fans of the ITV reality series called for a change in the rules, which would prevent viewers for voting for the same contestant again and again.
Maura and Jane, therefore, took on the 'Fright at the End of the Tunnel' challenge, which saw one of them crawling through a tunnel to find secret codes, with the other being kept underwater, having to hold their breath while using the codes to unlock stars.
Whilst the two female powerhouses were taking on their first trial, even more chaos left viewers concerned after a campmate suddenly vanished whilst heading down to the creek to lead the washing up.
N-Dubz star Tulisa was recently nominated to take on the dishes, with boxing champ Barry McGuigan offering to jump in to help her.
After offering to carry some pots and pans down to the lake to help the chart-topper, he sped off before her.
And when Tulisa eventually arrived at the water, she was baffled when the sportsman was nowhere to be seen.
"Barry…Barry?" she could be heard calling. "Where’s he gone?"
And being that the Australian jungle is home to all sorts of terrifying creatures, it's no wonder that she was worried.
Eventually, after several minutes of continuous searching, 63-year-old Barry emerged through the jungle greenery, having gotten lost on his way down to the creek.
"You’ve gone too far!" Tulisa joked, just weeks after Ant and Dec first joked that the ex-boxer needed glasses following his bundled first trial.
She later jibed during a Bush Telegraph confessional: "I think until Barry learns his way around the jungle a bit more, I’ll be keeping an eye on him because we don’t want to lose him out there, it’s a dangerous place."
