VENUS Williams screamed as she was surprised with a giant snake after losing a game show challenge. The tennis star looked terrified as she was faced with the enormous reptile with filming CBS’s Game On on Wednesday night.
Venus was left shaking as she had the creature draped around her shoulders and told to dance like Britney Spears by other celebrities on the show.
She could not contain her fear as the snake wrapped itself around her and started to hiss its way into her hair.
But the five-time Wimbledon champ managed to keep her composure enough to move her body and legs, mimicking Britney’s I’m a Slave 4 U video.
The incident took place as Venus led a team on Wednesday’s episode of Game On!, airing on CBS and hosted by Keegan-Michael Key.
As the snake was carried out, Keegan-Michael encouraged Venus to “face your fears!”
Trying to get out of the forfeit, she said: “I’d rather not.”

“I’m gonna send in my representatives!”
The tennis star was joined by comedian Ian Karmel and actor Tony Hale, while the other team consisted of football player Rob Gronkowski, SNL’s Bobby Moynihan and comedian Bobby Lee.
But the host insisted: “Venus has to do it.
“The team captain has to do it. Those are the arbitrary rules that we’ve made up for our show.”
Unfortunately after a series of challenges, which included jump roping and doing sit-ups while hanging from the studio ceiling, Venus and her team lost out.
Additionally at the start of the show, both Venus and Rob, 31, admitted to their fear of heights – and snakes.
Seeing what he’d so narrowly avoided having to do, Ian said repeatedly: “I’m so glad we won!”
