I'm A Celebrity: Alison Hammond out after trial!

Alison Hammond has become the third person to be evicted from the I'm A Celebrity... jungle after losing out to Kayla Collins in a special trial. The former Big Brother star turned TV presenter went head to head with the Playboy playmate after the latest public vote saw the pair finish in the bottom two. The winner of the trial was told they would return to camp while the loser would leave the jungle immediately. However they were evenly matched in the 'Dentalist' challenge which saw them both having to hold spiders and jungle bugs in their mouths for as long as possible. The trial ended in a tie after they both passed on one bug and refused to drink a concoction of liquidised cockroaches - meaning the result was decided on the public vote. And Alison was revealed to have received the lowest number of votes from the public - meaning she left while Kayla returned to camp. Afterwards she told Ant and Dec, "I'm glad I'm out but I had a wonderful time in there." Alison had been the most recent arrival in camp, joining the line-up in the middle of the first week. She had been there just ten days before being voted out.
