I’m A Celebrity Medics ‘On Red Alert’ Over Humidity Concerns for One Star

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! medics are reportedly ‘on red alert’ over dangerous levels of humidity in the jungle this week. 

Sunday night saw the return of the ITV show in Australia, with Ruby Wax, Martin Kemp, Kelly Brook, Aitch, Alex Scott, Angry Ginge, Shona McGarty, Eddie Kadi, Lisa Riley and Jack Osbourne in the firing line this year.

But the weather conditions are expected to be brutal in the coming days, reports The Sun, with bosses said to be particularly concerned about Jack who suffers from multiple sclerosis.

Humidity reached 90 per cent in the area on Sunday, which is 20 per cent higher than the average for this time of year, it has been claimed.

Temperatures will soar to 33C on Monday too following thunderstorms, making conditions in the camp tough for their first week. 

A source told the publication: ‘The celebs have been hit with some of the worst Australia has to offer this year from the word go.

‘They’ve been taken from lovely air-conditioned hotels to the humidity of the Aussie jungle with no time to adjust to the humidity.

‘When it’s like this, it’s seriously uncomfortable just to breathe in – let alone do any form of physical activity like they’ll have to do to keep camp moving. It’s been a baptism of fire.’

Humidity can make the symptoms of MS worse, but the crew will reportedly be on hand to protect the celebrities with the help of water-activated cooling towels.

This happens because high temperatures and humidity make it harder for the body to cool down, which interferes with the ability of damaged nerves to conduct electrical impulses, leading to a temporary worsening of symptoms. 

Common symptoms that may be exacerbated include fatigue, blurred vision, muscle weakness, and cognitive difficulties. 

Jack was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2012, at age 26, just three weeks after the birth of his oldest daughter, Pearl. 

ITV has been contacted by the Daily Mail for comment.

Jack proved he was already a strong contender for camp leader as he triumphed in the first challenge before cooking up a delicious steak dinner on the launch episode.

The episode began with Aitch, Kelly, Eddie, Shona and Martin all skydiving while Ruby, Lisa, Angry Ginge, Alex and Jack met at a luxury villa where they faced their fears head on. 

Both groups were trying to win two coveted seats in the Getaway car.

They had to face a challenge with their heads in a box of snakes and their hands in a box of green ants.

The first to successfully unscrew their Getaway car key fob was Jack, who had his game face on and was in the zone. As soon as he finished, he exclaimed: ‘Get me out!’

With one more seat up for grabs it was a final fight to the finish, with Alex and Ginge neck and neck.

Meanwhile, it appeared Ruby was taking a more relaxed approach, with her eyes closed. A concerned Ant and Dec joked: ‘Is she dozing? Is Ruby still awake? Ruby, are you still with us?!’

A bemused Ruby told Ant and Dec she couldn’t figure out which way to unscrew the wing nuts, as she added: ‘An Ant is up my nose.’

Ginge reigned victorious, taking the fourth and final seat in the Getaway car.

Arriving to pick them up, Aitch and Eddie met their fellow winners from their skydive for the first time, as Jack and Angry Ginge entered the Getaway car and joined them.

All four celebrities cheersed their drinks and began their luxurious route into camp, with steak on the menu for dinner and the comfiest beds in camp awaiting them.

This meant, Alex, Lisa and Ruby were left to await their fate – the dreaded Cockie van as they climbed on board to meet fellow losing celebrities Kelly, Martin and Shona to begin a terrifying journey into the jungle.

Kelly urged Ruby to flirt with driver Kiosk Kev in order to bribe him into giving them treats, as Ruby joked back: ‘I’ll straddle him!’

First to enter the 2025 jungle camp were Aitch, Eddie, Jack and Ginge as they excitedly claimed their comfy camp beds and kicked off their jungle experience in luxury.

As Jack and Eddie attempted to start the fire in camp, Aitch joked: ‘Hey lads, I’m not being funny, how’ve we not got this started yet?! It’s nearly the end of the episode! Match of the Day starts in a minute!’

Finally with Jack starting the fire, they made a start on cooking their delicious steak dinner with mushrooms and avocado.

Jack was quick to reference his culinary skills, as he guided the celebrities on how to know the steak was done, as he said: ‘Just so everyone knows, second place on Cooking With The Stars this year.’

Speaking in the Bush Telegraph, he revealed of his family: ‘I don’t mind cooking, you know I have a really big family and so I’m used to people kind of nagging me!’

The four tucked in to their dinner, a glowing Eddie admitted: ‘I couldn’t have started this experience with a better set of guys, I’ve got a family in here already.’

As night fell, the remaining six celebrities were faced with a very different fate. 

As the Cockie van pulled into the midst of the jungle, Kiosk Kev exited the van and locked them in to face their fears.

On the intercom, Ant and Dec revealed before they could exit the Cockie Van they’d have to win their dinner for the night, unlocking six keys from the grate above their heads to release six boxes which equated to six stars for camp.

However in true I’m A Celebrity… style, they of course weren’t alone as they were joined by a heap of festering critters dropping onto their heads.

And the critters weren’t shy in getting absolutely everywhere, as Alex squealed: ‘They’re all down my bloody bra!’, whilst Lisa got one in her mouth, and Shona exclaimed: ‘It’s in my pants!’

Kelly screamed and added: ‘Oh my god, they’re biting my tits!’

Whilst Ruby said: ‘Every crevice, every crevice has been filled.’

Working together as a team, with screams and frights galore, the celebrities successfully unlocked all six boxes, meaning it was a full house of meals for camp.

It was time for all ten celebrities to reunite, as the six losing celebrities joined the four winning celebrities in camp.

Arriving from the sky, the six celebrities discovered they’d won emu neck for their dinner.

An unimpressed Lisa said of her dinner: ‘I won’t be having that. They look like three phallic things!’

With Shona volunteering to cook up a storm, it was time for the celebrities to give their verdict. 

An impressed Martin said: ‘That is good!’ However, a less than impressed Ruby said: ‘It was repulsive. 

‘I think for those six stars we should’ve had a burger and not one of those penis things…’
