Hide AdRebecca was chosen by her camp mates to do the solo trial after they all agreed she was the most ‘at ease’ in water.
It proved to be a good choice after the two time Olympic gold medallist brought home ten meals for camp.
During the ten minute challenge, the tank slowly filled with water, not to mention a few water spiders, crocs, crabs and more grizzly critters.
Rebecca powered through all nine stars until she was stopped in her tracks when a determined crab decided to get between her and the last star.
