The duo, Danny Miller, David Ginola, Naughty Boy and Naughty Boy were competing for cake at The Clink. 

When Louise Minchin and Matty Lee arrived, Richard said: ‘You don’t want to be in The Clink guys!’ 

Louise read out the instructions: ‘Celebrities, welcome to Don’t Blow It! There is a chance to win one treat per couple for the camp. A fuse and a flame are attached to the side of your face. The box contains a piece of cake.

Tough: Richard and Arlene won the Don't Blow It challenge which saw them have to answer questions about their fellow campmates

It’s tough! Richard and Arlene took on the Don’t Blow It challenge, where they were required to answer questions about fellow campers

“In pairs, answer several questions. To give an answer, you will need to arrange the barrels numbered. 

‘The pair that’s closest to the correct answer will win that round and their flame will not move. If the pair is farthest away from the correct answer, they will lose the round. Their flame will then move closer to the fuse. The fuse will light and your cake is gone. 

These questions were: “How many Top 10 Singles has Frankie achieved as part of The Saturdays’ group S Club Juniors?” And ‘How many British soap award for best actor have Danny won?

Richard and Arlene were delighted to return to the camp after receiving the sweet treat. 

A dancing star exclaimed, “Oh! Look, I’m close!” 

While Richard laughed: ‘They say you can’t have your cake and eat it – well we can, and we will!’  

Over the top: However, fans speculated whether this reaction was genuine as they have only been at the castle for 24 hours

It was too much: Fans wondered if the reaction was real, considering they were only at the castle for just 24 hours

While enjoying the confectionary, Arlene said: ‘I’ve never appreciated cake as much as I do right now.’

Richard commented, “My taste buds joined in a harmonious chorus” of joy. Better than any cake I’ve ever eaten in my life.’

To his campmates he said: ‘I think I’ll have this in one go!’

Fans speculated that this was a genuine reaction, as they had only been there for two hours.   

One commented, “The celebrities were eating the cake as if they had never eaten one of these in their entire lives.”
