'I'm a pensioner.... Get me out of here!' - Pensioners given Bushtucker trials at Wolverhampton care home

If Ant and Dec are on the hunt for brave volunteers for their next round in the jungle - their search is over. 

Brave pensioners at Foxland Grange Care Home, on Wergs Road, Wolverhampton, challenged themselves to hold snakes and spiders for the longest time.

Staff put on their very own I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! after ITV programme returned to our screens on November 17. 

Carers noticed how many of them enjoyed watching the show on and evening, at 9pm, and wanted to create an unusual experience for them to enjoy.

One of the animals involved was an owl used in the making of the Harry Potter movie franchise.

Valerie Parker, a resident at Foxland Grange, said: "This was such a different type of activity seeing the wonderful animals that were well presented. 

"It was fascinating to hear that one of the owls we saw was in Harry Potter! I cannot wait for another animal day within the home."

Kat Anderson, General Manager at Foxland Grange, added: "Here at Foxland Grange, we’re always looking for new and exciting activities for residents to get involved with. The residents always enjoy watching I’m a Celebrity together, so had a wonderful time experiencing it for themselves.

"The residents were incredibly brave and had such a laugh! Everyone had a wonderful time and we’re looking forward to watching the show this year!"

A spokesperson for Care UK added: "Designed to enable residents to live active and fulfilled lives, while also promoting independence, Foxland Grange, incorporates space for hobby and leisure activities.

"The building has been configured into a series of neighbourhoods to help facilitate the creation of close-knit communities and encourage social interaction among the residents."
