I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! has only just begun but even before the hit reality show made it onto our screens the show’s secrets were swirling.
An unprecedented season of the show, COVID travel restrictions have seen the series set up camp in our own backyard rather than the African jungle.
The scenery may have changed but the behind-the-scenes drama remains.
We’re unpacking the biggest set secrets, below.
1 Everything is Australiana themed
In a nod to our sunburnt country, this year’s show is heavily themed around Australia and our gorgeous fauna and flora! And yes, that theme will of course be extended to the much-loved tucker trials!
We hear the contestants will be digging into a delicious menu full of Australian exotic animals and their usually discarded body parts. Yum!
2 A love affair CAUSES chaos!
With limited showers, most of the contestants kept their distance, but Woman’s Day hears two genetically blessed campers get very cosy!
“A romance definitely heats up,” the source tells.
Their union not only throws other campers off, but a significant other at home may also be in for a rude shock!
3 A celeb was caught with contraband!
One strict rule on the show is that all luxury items must be left at the door, yet we’re told one contestant, who loved their creature comforts, was caught with contraband in their luggage.
“Producers discovered it early on and swiftly confiscated it, much to the celeb’s dismay!” our source says.
4 Peter & Katie show up!
Peter Andre and Katie Price met while filming the British version of I’m A Celeb in Australia in 2004 and had two children, before splitting in 2009.
Rumours are that producers commemorate their legacy with appearances and some very special Katie and Peter-themed challenges taking place, too!
5 No one got any sleep!
Ahh, the Aussie landscape! It’s full of wondrous plants and peculiar animals, and it’s also full of blood-sucking insects – so much so that many of the campers were left without getting much shut-eye.
“A lot of the celebrities had trouble sleeping,” our source reveals. “If it wasn’t the humid, wet weather, it was the insects constantly buzzing around their heads!”
