IRELAND AM star Siomha Ni Ruairc was left screaming in fear on live TV as she attempted a bushtucker trial.
The Virgin Media star was back on air last Sunday for some TV laughs with Elaine Crowley and Sean Defoe.

Ahead of I’m A Celebrity’s first episode of this season, Jungle Dave brought some special critters on set in the Virgin Media studio.
Actor Killian O’Sullivan, who was a guest on the show, went head-to-head with Siomha for their own bushtucker trial on air.
For the first challenge, the pair were blinded folded and had to guess the creature.
Killian was first up and held the orange chameleon in his hands with ease.
However, Siomha was a little more apprehensive about the whole situation.
The Dublin native backed away from Dave and said: “My heart can’t take this. I’m afraid!”
Elaine tried to encourage her saying: “You’re like Paul Mescal and you’re a big, big brave strong boy!”
Siomha hadn’t even got the animal in her hands before she shouted: “Oh my god did something touched me? What touched me? No I can’t, I actually can’t!”
Elaine prompted her to take part saying: “Just put your hand out, come on, suck it up!”
Siomha admitted: “No I don’t think I can! I’m so afraid. Hold on.”
The podcaster finally gave in to defeat and said: “Oh my god, I can’t do it. I’m sorry! I told you, I cannot do this.”
Elaine shouted out: “Oh, you big loser!”
Siomha apologised saying: “Sorry, I told you, it’s the blindfold, it’s the unknown, guys.”
Elaine warned her saying: “Well, you better hold out the next one or you will never live it down.”
SPIDEY SENSES
The next creature they had to guess was a tarantula.
Siomha decided to go first this time but was still “shaking” and shouting out.
Elaine told her: “Just shh, don’t roar.”
The popular presenter gave up after she briefly touched the spider’s leg and said: “That’s enough for me, sorry.”
For the next game, they had put their hands in containers full of creepy crawlies to find a gold star.
SCARED SIOMHA
And although Siomha was still screaming out – she managed to ace the game.
After the fiasco, Elaine sympathised with her co-host saying: “Poor Siomha is traumatised.”
Siomha added: “I can never show my face on TV again, I actually can’t believe that.”
The 31-year-old shared the hilarious segment on Instagram today and explained how she now relates to Dean McCullough, who is currently in the jungle and not so fond of the tasks.
‘DYING’
She wrote: “Good thing I like rice and beans. The lovely team decided to put myself and Killian through our very own bushtucker trial and I can confidently say that I’m a massive Dean sympathiser after it.
“Huge thanks to my super supportive colleague Elaine who hasn’t let me live this down and also bless Jungle Dave’s saintly patience.
“ITV, I’ll be waiting by the phone.”
Siomha’s friends and fans were left in stitches at the hilarious video.
Louise wrote: “I am DYING. The sternness of Elaine she was having none of you lol.”
Emma said: “This has brought me so much joy.”
Trisha commented: “This is hilarious.”
Darren added: “Brilliant.”
