Boy feeds worms to sister in 'Bushtucker trial'

It is one thing watching a bushtucker trial on TV but one mischievous five-year-old simply ignored the warnings not to try it at home.

Matthew Hepburn fed lugworms to his little sister after enjoying ITV1's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here.

He was caught laughing as Hannah, 20 months, tried to swallow handfuls of the fishing bait in their garden.



Mother Nicola said: 'Matthew was screaming encouragement as Hannah tried to eat all these worms.

'He was looking like butter wouldn't melt in his mouth while Hannah had worms pouring out of hers. And she actually looked like she did not mind eating them. He must have got the idea from watching I'm A Celebrity.'

Now Mrs Hepburn, of Fareham, Hampshire, is making sure he is in bed when the show is on in future. 'Otherwise he could try to feed Hannah spiders or lock her in somewhere with a couple of rats.'
