Harry Redknapp has to turn on his own teammates and show one of them a red card after he lost a head-to-head trial. The first I’m A Celebrity<\/a> eviction will be decided by the former football manager as hosts Ant and De<\/a>c revealed he would be responsible for sending home one of his Team Lion.<\/p>\n

King Harry<\/a> went up against King Jimmy Bullard from the rival Team Rhino in an eating trial called Beastly Braai, a South African barbecue. But there was nothing nice about this menu.<\/p>\n

With the rest of the campmates watching, Jimmy went head-to-head with his old gaffer and the pair made their way through revolting courses including Mashed Po-tofu and Reek Salad, containing Lamb brain, stinky fermented tofu and Impala eyes. Other dishes contained intestine and wild boar penis.<\/p>\n

Jimmy, who was managed by Harry during his football career, said: \u201cIt is so surreal up against me old gaffer. I\u2019ve never won a penalty shoot out in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harry said: \u201cI have got one big advantage really, I can\u2019t smell.\u201d He lost his sense of smell in a car crash in Italy in 1990<\/p>\n

With both men successfully downing five courses each, it was left to a tie break drink, with the one finishing fastest winning. Harry moaned: \u201cI\u2019m not very good at drinking things straight down.\u201d<\/p>\n

The marga-reeker was made of fermented fish and tofu and Jimmy finished first winning for Team Rhino who will get a slap up banquet and will go on safari.<\/p>\n

As everyone left, hosts Ant and Dec asked Harry to stay behind. Dec then told him: \u201cYou\u2019ve got a big decision to make. It is time for the first celebrity to leave camp for good and you will choose which member of your kingdom that will be.\u201d<\/p>\n

Evictions are expected to come thick and fast now with the finalists fighting it out in a live final on April 24 to be crowned a jungle \u2018legend\u2019.<\/p>\n
