And much to the amusement of viewers, the BBC Radio One star kept his focus on his beloved football club’s stadium while being buried alive with snakes.

He and Shane Richie tackled The Viper Vault challenge on tonight’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

Emotions were all over the place for viewers who were one minute sobbing over Jordan’s tears, before howling with laughter at his squeals.

North and former EastEnders star Richie were chosen by the public to take part in the challenge, which saw them locked inside vaults built into the floor of the Welsh castle hosting this year’s series.

Jordan cried in fear of the thought of the Viper Vault

Inside each vault was five locked safes, each containing a star that would earn a meal for camp. North and Richie had to work together to find the codes for the safes.

North, who vomited before tackling a cliff abseil in the first show, admitted snakes were his biggest fear, saying: “I’ve never been this scared in my life.”

Richie, who is favourite to win I’m A Celebrity, hugged North before the trial started.

He really struggled to cope during the ordeal

North screamed as the snakes entered the vaults, saying he was thinking of his “happy place” on the advice of his brother, who is a paratrooper.

The team managed to score nine stars, securing their final one with seconds to spare before the klaxon sounded the end of the trial.

Escaping the vault, a relieved North said, “my brother said to me…” only for Richie to show his trademark wit and cut in: “Why didn’t you do Strictly Come Dancing?”
