The first Amir Khan Im A Celebrity episode ended with the boxer meeting his match with a snake that he picked up at one point.
Khan has got his first night in the jungle behind him at this stage and the boxer was the main theme of the first episode on the reality TV show.
An episode that saw him come face to face with a snake on day one. An animal that Khan had highlighted he was afraid of coming into the show.
Perhaps a purposeful act from the producers.
Following a moment that saw Khan lift up a snake out of a jar during a challenge, the internet came up with a variety of reactions online:
Amir Khan hates snakes…. #ImACeleb pic.twitter.com/DZ6eowaAiG

To be fair to Amir Khan, he doesn’t usually go down easily without a fight… #ImACeleb pic.twitter.com/odvKU2U2sG

A girl from Made In Chelsea has lasted longer in a Bushtucker trial than professional boxer, Amir Khan. #ImACeleb

Congrats to Amir Khan for getting himself voted for every single trial for the rest of the show

We all have that one friend who exaggerates a story as much as Amir Khan did describing the trial ? #imaceleb

As you can see, folks didn’t hold back. Fair play to Khan though for getting in there right from the start.
The boxer mentioned afterwards that he is looking to grab chances to train when he can in the jungle to pass time and keep fit ahead of a comeback to the sport of boxing expected in 2018.
