Abbie Chatfield was bitten by a snake on the latest episode of ‘I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here’ and no the snake wasn’t anyone from The Bachelor, or Ash Williams…it was a real snake.
The boss bitch was bitten by the snake during an elimination challenge and copped it on the chin like an absolute mad dog. If I was bitten by a snake, I would have quite literally passed away. I don’t know how these celebs do it?
The challenge was to guess how many snakes were inside a box and the only way to guess was by copping a feel…of the snakes.

Shortly after putting her hand in the box, panic set in for Chatfield. But she kept it together, that is, until she was bitten by a snake that wouldn’t let go.
Luckily the hottest doctor since McDreamy on Grey’s Anatomy, Dr Chris Brown, came to the rescue. Boy, he really knows how to handle a snake, doesn’t he?

People on Twitter were rightfully freaking TF out, because no one wants to be bitten by snake.

But Chatfield came back with a vengeance. And it does make me wonder whether these contestants have a death wish?
Earlier in the season Toni Pearen was bitten three times by a snake and didn’t flinch. Again, these women are fucking tough. I touch seaweed at the beach and call it a day.
“I knew I was safe. I was attended to by a medic immediately. I knew the snakes were not venomous. I was definitely in shock but I was not in pain and I was proud of my courage and determination,” Pearen told News.com.au.
SHE’S GOING BACK IN! @ABBIECHATFIELD YOU ABSOLUTE WEAPON! #ImACelebrityAU pic.twitter.com/sWoKVIz7Vl

A snake wrapped around her wrist and literally latched onto her. They had to pry it off. And she still put her hands back in the box. Abbie is a fucking boss! Love her! Forget Ash! The world is yours lady!!! #ImACelebrityAU #ImACelebAU

The Channel 10 all star shared the support she received on her Instagram stories, and a lot of people couldn’t help but shed a tear for Chatfield.
To be honest, I’m normally a Survivor girl myself, but this season of I’m A Celeb has been so wholesome and heart-warming. Who knew celebrities could actually be, you know? Human.
Abbie Chatfield will be competing in the I’m A Celeb finale this Sunday. Catch up on tonight’s episode here.
BTW – Abbie is doing a Selfish Session next month talking all things reality TV and media representation, and you definitely don’t want to miss it. Get tickets here.
