Newcastle United squad do own 'I'm A Celebrity...' bush tucker trial

Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew and his players have taken part in their own version of reality show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here by doing a bush tucker trial.

The Magpies, who have a theme day every month, were asked to do a series of challenges, which included searching for stars in a bucket of beetles, in the club's training ground restaurant.

"The gaffer likes to hold theme days once a month and this one was originally for Curtis Good but he was on international duty and then I'm A Celebrity came on telly so I thought it was a good idea to expand it," the Daily Mail quotes club chef Liz Hornsby as saying.

The team were also challenged to eat kangaroo testicles, which turned out to be pork balls.
