CANOE ATTITUDE

I’m A Celebrity’s Caitlyn Jenner dives straight into first challenge as she paddles in a canoe after helicopter ride

I'M A Celeb's Caitlyn Jenner has taken part in her first jungle challenge involving a helicopter ride and a canoe.

The US reality star, 71, filmed a task with her fellow campmates and teamed up with buff athlete James Haskell for her trail.

The pair wore matching red polo t-shirts and blue combat trousers for their challenge, which began in a field next to a black helicopter.

Caitlyn appeared reasonably relaxed ahead of taking on her first feat, chatting to the crew before the cameras started running.

All the celebs wore coloured coded outfits to separate them into teams.

On the purple team were Roman Kemp and Myles Stephenson, the yellow team was made up of Nadine Coyle and Adele Roberts and the green team was Jac Jossa and Ian Wright.

That left Kate Garraway and Andrew Maxwell on the blue team.

After hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly explained the rules of the challenge, Caitlyn and James took to the waters on their canoe.

Strapping James- who wore a flower tucked behind his ear Pocahontas-style,  took the lead, paddling in the front of the vessel, while Caitlyn steered from the back.

Both wore protective black life jackets on the open waters, although from the looks of things, neither fell in.

The footage will appear in tomorrow night's launch episode of the long-running reality show, which began filming series 19 earlier this week once the celebs touched down in Brisbane.

The Sun has already revealed pictures of the stars meeting each other for the first time on the beach.

Caitlyn wore a blue shirt, blue jeans and her  son-in-law Kanye West's Yeezy trainers as she arrived on a speed boat and then filmed scenes on the sand.

Caitlyn has already revealed that her dream fellow contestant would be Kanye.

Kanye is married to Kim Kardashian, who Caitlyn was step-parent to before splitting from Kris Jenner in 2015.

She explained: "Kanye is a good friend of mine and he's good to have an intelligent and interesting conversation with."

The new campmate also opened up on her previous stint in the US version of the reality show back in 2003.

She revealed: "Last time, I did it with a bunch of people from the States who I knew of. This time it’s a bunch of people from the UK who I potentially won’t know."
