Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett Johansson

Who she’d replace: Nicola McLean. They’re both well known for their, um, ‘assets’.

Bushtucker Trial: Scarlett has to eat a jar of live scorpions while Ant and Dec perform cover versions of her Tom Waits cover versions. To spur her on, an eternal loop of Eight Legged Freaks plays on a plasma screen in front of her face.

William Shatner

William Shatner

Who he’d replace: Joe Swash. They have nothing in common. But we’ll take Shatner over anyone.

Bushtucker Trial: George Takei feeds him 15 Cardassian eggs until he pukes on himself. To spur him on, an eternal loop of Loaded Weapon 1 plays on a plasma screen in front of his face.

Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan

Who she’d replace: Lindsay's currently more famous for her relationship than her career. So, Carly Zucker then.

Bucktucker Trial: Lindsay has a backpack full of rabid jackals strapped to her face, before being rolled down the highest hill in the jungle. When she reaches the bottom, she has to eat a vomit sandwich. To spur her on, an eternal loop of any of her films play on a plasma screen in front of her face.

Sarah Jessica Parker

Sarah Jessica Parker

Who she’d replace: Aging lust object, so... Dani Behr.

Bucktucker Trial: Sarah is forced to eat every hat ever worn by anyone in Sex And The City, including that massive one Samantha wore in the bit in the film where she was perving on the bloke in the shower or whatever. To spur her on, an eternal loop of Striking Distance plays on a plasma screen in front of her face.

Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise

Who he’d replace: Tom Cruise flew in a fighter plane in Top Gun. George Takei flew in a spaceship in Star Trek. What?

Bushtucker Trial: Tom crawls through a tunnel filled with sewer rats, snakes and pictures of Nicole Kidman. He copes surprisingly well, equating the experience with walking down the red carpet. To spur him on, an eternal loop of Far And Away plays on a plasma screen in front of his face.

78. Arnold Schwarzenegger - The Terminator, The Terminator (1984)

78. Arnold Schwarzenegger - The Terminator, The Terminator (1984)

Who he’d replace: Brian Paddick is a celebrity politician. So’s Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Bushtucker Trial: The production team strap Arnie down to a metal table covered in razor blades. Ant brings in a blindfolded Barack Obama to kneel down beside him and whisper the Rocky 6 script into his left ear. If Arnie makes it to the second act without weeping, he wins. To spur him on, an eternal loop of Terminator 3 plays on a plasma screen in front of his face.

Terrence Howard

Terrence Howard

Who’d she’d replace: Like Simon Webb, Howard's dabbled with music. Unlike Simon Webb, Howard was in Iron Man.

Bushtucker Trial: Tez is strapped to a chair while his agent shows him all the scripts he’s turned down on his behalf, including Iron Man 2. If he makes it though fifteen scripts without punching his agent in the face, he wins. To spur him on, an eternal loop of Iron Man 2 plays on a plasma screen in front of him face.

Helen Mirren

Helen Mirren

Who she’d replace: Kick out the other first lady of Britain - Rantzen.

Bushtucker Trial: Dame Helen has to recreate her Caligula scenes using only Ant, Dec and a bin-bag full of kangaroo genitalia. To spur her on, an eternal loop of Raising Helen plays on a plasma screen in front of her face.

Edward Norton

Edward Norton

Who he’d replace: Moody, irascible, forthright; Edward Norton is clearly the movie world's Robert Kilroy Silk.

Bushtucker Trial: Close-up on Edward Norton's face as Ant hands him a wooden spoon, while Dec gently places a barrel of hippo shit in front of Edward Norton. Edward Norton wins when the barrel’s empty and his stomach’s full. To spur on Edward Norton, an eternal loop of The Italian Job plays on a plasma screen in front of his face, while somewhere in the jungle, we can hear his mother crying. We’re never told why.

Kirsten Dunst

Kirsten Dunst

Who she’d replace: Martina Navratilova played tennis at Wimbledon. Kirsten Dunst played tennis in Wimbledon.

Bushtucker Trial: Dunst has to go out on a date with all four members of the Total Film team. To spur her on, they pay for dinner. Actually, that's just cruel.
