Stacey tackles cliffhanger in I'm A Celeb (VIDEO)
Stacey Solomon's future is hanging in the balance when she recreates the famous bus scene from movie classic The Italian Job in I'm A Celebrity. Stacey will take on a stunt, said to be the most expensive ever staged for the ITV1 show, in a bus teetering on the edge of a quarry. The Australian Job emulates the closing moments of the 1960s film starring Sir Michael Caine. Stacey has to collect 10 stars hidden around the vehicle while negotiating nasties such as fish guts and spiders. Told before the challenge began that the bus could topple over with her on board, she joked: "With my weight, it will." Talkative Stacey - who found fame on The X Factor - tries to keep her cool by muttering words of encouragement to herself. Thursday night's edition of the show will screen at 8.30pm on ITV1.
