I'm A Celebrity fans are convinced they know what terrifying trial Shona McGarty has just 'signed up' for
The EastEnders actress has made a schoolgirl error!I’m A Celebrity star Shona McGarty could be in trouble, as fans are convinced she’s unwittingly volunteered to do a terrifying trial.
The former EastEnders star, famed for playing Whitney Dean, is heading into the jungle on Sunday.
But in a new interview before her I’m A Celebrity debut, 36-year-old Shona appears to have made a massive faux pas.
Shona has confessed to having a massive fear of water. In fact, she is even terrified in the bath.
Viewers are certain this has sealed her fate when it comes to an underwater Bushtrucker Trial. And there are always plenty of those!
The clip has been shared by I’m A Celebrity’s official Instagram account. Shona admits: “The thing that scares me the most is the water. Yeah, even in the bath I struggle. I do!”
Shona then pinches her nose with her fingers and says: “When I go underwater I’m like.. that’s enough!”
The actress’ confession hasn’t gone unnoticed with fans, so it definitely won’t have escaped the attention of the show’s producers. One I’m A Celebrity viewer commented: “Shona, by saying you have fear of H2o, you have just volunteered yourself to do the deep water trials!”

‘Goodbye Queen Vic, hello Queen of the Jungle’
Despite Shona’s admission, her fans are gunning for her to be crowned this year’s Queen of the Jungle. One also wrote online: “Our winner already!! Team McGarty.” Another added: “Goodbye Queen Vic , hello Queen of the Jungle.”
But she really isn’t doing herself any favours. It turns out water isn’t the only thing Shona is scared of.
In the same video, she admits: “Snakes. The fear that they’re going to not like you and just… [grabs throat]. Or it might wrap round your neck. There’s lots of fears going on!”
Shona has, however, said she is going to “be herself and try her best”. We thinks she also needs to hope for the best, too!
