<p dir="auto">In one of this year's challenges, one celebrity (Giovanna Fletcher, eventual winner) was blindfolded by a visored helmet while another celebrity (Shane Richie) gave her directions. The aim was for her to break dragon piñatas with a sword.</p>
<p dir="auto">Vernon Kay, another of this year's I'm A Celebrity contestants, is vaguely associated with Knightmare in that he referred to it as narrator of the 30 Years of CITV documentary in 2012.</p>

<p dir="auto">We may have come close to having Knightmare mentioned on The Last Leg this year. There was an episode where they were due to cover the Prince Philip Australian knighthood fiasco, known as the #Knightmare on social media, but Nick Clegg was on and they must have extended his segment as the show (which, for those who don't know, is live) was in progress.</p>
<p dir="auto">I'm hoping that Josh Widdicombe may still bring up Knightmare on The Last Leg at some point. He's <a href="https://twitter.com/joshwiddicombe/status/491677151633371137" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">tweeted about it</a>, done Knightmare Live (05/08/2013) and, if <a href="https://twitter.com/LiamABCallaghan/status/512181398837686272" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">this tweet</a> from a fellow forum member is anything to go by, made reference to it on <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04g8q5c" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">another (radio) programme</a> last year.</p>

In other parts of their quest, though, they could have done with some T. Vine inspiration.</p>
