Shane Warne Bitten on the Head by a Snake While Taking Part in 'I'm a Celebrity'

There were few challenges across Shane Warne's hugely successful cricket career that he couldn't handle.

But the legendary leg-spinner was faced with an altogether different task on Thursday while taking part in Australia's version of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!

Warne had already successfully negotiated his way through a box of rats when he was asked to dive headfirst into another container full of snakes in search of the stars he needed to earn his camp a meal.

Unsurprisingly, one anaconda in particular didn't take kindly to his intrusion, lashing out and biting the former cricketer on the head.

Despite a previously acknowledged fear of snakes, Warne fought through admirably, completing the challenge before receiving first aid from a medic.

G'warn, Warnie!
