Shame, I wonder how the snake is holding up.

Warney has been in the news quite a bit of late, slating former captain Steve Waugh and just generally being a prick during his time on I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here! 

Thanks to the latest little teaser released by the show we know that the leggie took a bite to the face, with aunews describing it as follows:

After bravely facing boxes filled with African clawed frogs, scorpions, Madagascan hissing cockroaches and rats in search of stars, Shane is presented with a box of snakes. Host Dr Chris Brown warns the legendary spinner that with the scent of rat on his skin, the snakes could easily think he is their next meal. As Shane — who once cried because his daughter would not let him watch the Vince Vaughn comedy Dodgeball — lowers his head into the box, an aggressive anaconda strikes.

Million dollar question – but did he feel it through all that Botox? Some more on the bite:

…medics treated the strike area with antiseptic and will monitor Warne for any signs of infection.

“The box contained anacondas, rat snakes and corn snakes. The juvenile anaconda is the one that actually struck Shane. It’s non-venomous but very aggressive. Anacondas have 100 rear-facing teeth. Being bitten by one is like getting 100 hypodermic needles at once,” a Network Ten spokesperson [said].

Well he is used to having needles stuck in his face so it shouldn’t come as that much of a shock to the system.

It’s kind of sad to see the man who was once the golden boy of the cricketing world reduced to such antics. Stick to commentating old boy, it’s far more becoming.
