    Impending Storm Threatens to Inundate I’m A Celeb Camp with Flesh-Eating Leeches Before Filming Begins

    Ant and Dec are set to welcome a new batch of contestants into the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! 2023 jungle this weekend. 

    But celebrities might not be the only campmates in this year’s jungle, with rain set to beat down on the set a whole host of creepy crawlies and ‘flesh-eating leeches’ will make an appearance. 

    The unexpected New South Wales weather has left workers desperately scrambling to get the site ready. 

    Last year, bosses had no choice but to close the camp for a whole day, when they were hit by a storm, with Joe Swash saying it had ‘leeches everywhere in the water’.

    At the time, downpours also swept in parasitic worms, which typically live in creeks and in bushlands, into suburban streets, so this year’s wild weather could spell trouble. 

    Coming soon: Ant and Dec are set to welcome a new batch of contestants into the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! 2023 jungle this weekend

    Oh no: But celebrities might not be the only campmates in this year's jungle, with rain set to beat down on the set a whole host of creepy crawlies and 'flesh-eating leeches' (last year's camp pictured)

    Oh no: But celebrities might not be the only campmates in this year’s jungle, with rain set to beat down on the set a whole host of creepy crawlies and ‘flesh-eating leeches’ (last year’s camp pictured)

    According to The Sun, construction had no choice but to stop on the site earlier this week, when the heavy rain and strong wind made it impossible.

    The storm could not have come at a worse time as there is still so much to do before I’m A Celeb… returns to our screens on Sunday, 19th October. 

    Workers still need to put in place the new trial areas which will include an Aztec temple and an outdoor pool with six sunken cages.

    The Bureau of Meteorology were forced to issue a warning for Murwillumbah, the town in New South Wales where the ITV camp is based.

    A source said: ‘Every minute counts at this stage of production, so even an hour stolen from the schedule is frustrating.

    ‘The rain and wind has been strong – definitely not what people think of for the Gold Coast.’

    On the weather, a show source said: ‘The production team are the best in the business and are used to working in all weather conditions. 

    ‘There’s contingencies in place for all weather scenarios. Thankfully the weather forecast is looking dry and hot for the celebrities’ arrivals.’

    Good luck! Last year, bosses had no choice but to close the camp for a whole day , when they were hit by a storm, with Joe Swash saying it had 'leeches everywhere in the water'

    The full lineup for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! 2023 has been unveiled and it features some of the show’s most outspoken characters ever. 

    Leading this year’s campmates are Fred Sirieix, Grace Dent, Danielle Harold, Marvin Humes and Josie Gibson, with the stars seen in their jungle garb for the first time in new photographs. 

    Also preparing for a stint in the Australian outback are Jamie Lynn Spears, Sam Thompson, Nella Rose, Nigel Farage and Nick Pickard.

    The 10 celebrities will be seen for the first time on Sunday night’s launch show when they meet Ant and Dec and prepare to kick off three weeks of living with creepy crawlies and Bushtucker Trials. 

    I’m A Celebrity 2023: Meet the campmates

    NIGEL FARAGE

    NIGEL FARAGE

    Claim to fame: Former leader of the UK Independence Party  and leader of the Brexit Party.

    Phobias: Nobody likes rats, snakes and I am dreading anything to do with heights.

    Biggest misconception you want to dispel?: I have been demonised over the years and so it will be nice to show people I am not nasty. 

    Role in camp: Lead on starting up plenty of campfire discussions. 

    Aside from your family, what will you miss the most whilst in camp?: A pint in the pub and the news. 

    Best & worst attributes: I hope to cheer people up when they are down. Worst? I am impatient and I do snore. 

    Dream camper: As a controversial political media figure, I never name names… But I am looking forward to meeting interesting people from all different fields 

    DANIELLE HAROLD

    DANIELLE HAROLD

    Claim to fame: EastEnders actress.

    Phobias: Rats. I hate them! 

    Biggest misconception you want to dispel in the jungle?: I can be a little ditzy at times but I am definitely not a ‘dumb blonde’. I want to show I can do the trials, challenges and get stuck in. 

    Role in camp: Shoulder to cry on, help others if they are feeling low in camp. 

    Aside from family, what will you miss most whilst in camp?: Snacking. I am a little muncher and I am going to miss my morning cup of tea, too! 

    Best & worst attributes: I’d like to think I will be good if people are really struggling. I am not, however, very good at being bored, nor am I a morning person either. 

    Dream camper: Ed Sheeran. If he brings his guitar into camp, he can sing for us.

    FRED SIRIEIX

    FRED SIRIEIX

    Claim to fame: First Dates star.

    Phobias: I am scared of everything. I am dying to find out how vile the food will be! 

    Biggest misconception you want to dispel in the jungle?: I don’t think there is anything but I am looking forward to learning more about myself during my time in the camp. 

    Role in camp: I will definitely muck in with all the jobs. I don’t mind cooking or cleaning the toilets. 

    Aside from your family, what will you miss the most whilst in camp? My bed. It’s super comfy. I will also miss a cup of coffee in the morning. 

    Best & worst attributes: I like to have fun but I do snore and I am impatient! 

    Dream camper: It’s going to be nice to meet everyone but I’d love to see Dolly Parton, The Rock or Snoop Dog in there.

    NELLA ROSE

    NELLA ROSE

    Claim to fame: YouTuber and Catfish UK star. 

    Phobias: I am fearful of everything! 

    Biggest misconception you want to dispel in the jungle? I am a pretty open book. 

    Role in camp: Keep the morale and humour high.

     Aside from your family, what will you miss the most whilst in camp? My phone… I am always on it! 

    Dream camper: Alison Hammond or Adele. 

    NICK PICKARD

    NICK PICKARD

    Claim to fame: Hollyoaks star. 

    Phobias: I am a bit scared of the dark. When you go to the House of Horrors at Halloween and things jump out at you, I am not very good when I can’t see! 

    Biggest misconception you want to dispel in the jungle: It will be nice to go in as me and not as my Hollyoaks character. 

    Role in camp: Grafter or chef, I am quite good at cooking. But I’ve never cooked on a fire before. Aside from family, what will you miss most whilst in camp: Football and my creature comforts. 

    Best & worst attributes: I’d like to think I am a nice person and a good team player. I am not lazy but I do have a few bad habits like picking my nose. My girlfriend has been trying to train me to stop! 

    Dream camper: Sir Alex Ferguson or Neil Warnock. 

    JAMIE LYNN SPEARS

    JAMIE LYNN SPEARS

    Claim to fame: Zoey 101 and Sweet Magnolias star.

     Phobias: I am scared of everything.

    Biggest misconception you want to dispel in the jungle?: I think this is a nice chance to show who I really am.

    Role in camp: Hopefully I will be the one who can support everyone. 

    Aside from family, what will you miss the most whilst in camp? A normal bathroom, air conditioning and my bed. 

    Best & worst attributes: I think my best quality is it takes a lot to hurt my feelings; but I am impatient and my family would say I get in a bad mood a lot. 

    Dream camper: Nicole Kidman, she is my favourite actress in the whole wide world, or Reece Witherspoon.

    SAM THOMPSON

    SAM THOMPSON

    Claim to fame: Made In Chelsea star and radio presenter. 

    Phobias: I am not a creepy crawly guy and I hate anyone or anything touching my neck. 

    Biggest misconception you want to dispel in the jungle?: Since the age of 21, I’ve spent my whole life on TV and so I feel whether people have a good or bad opinion of me, it’s probably warranted!

    Role in camp: I’m a ‘yes’ man so cooking, cleaning I will do whatever they want me to do. 

    Aside from family, what will you miss most whilst in camp?: I know this sounds lame but gaming. 

    Best & worst attributes: I’d like to think I am the court jester and I don’t take things too seriously, so if anyone is having a bad day I would like to put a smile on their face. Worst? I am quite forgetful and I am bad at focusing on things. 

    Dream camper: Stephen Fry. I think I would self-combust if he was going in the jungle! 

    JOSIE GIBSON

    JOSIE GIBSON

    Claim to fame: This Morning presenter.

    Phobias: Insects and I freeze every time I see a spider and I am not sure what I am going to do if I am in a trial with them! 

    Biggest misconception you want to dispel in the jungle?: I would like people to know I am very clever at knowing useless information! 

    Role in camp: Mum. I am very motherly and I also love chatting to people. 

    Aside from family, what will you miss most whilst in camp?: Getting up to blow dry my hair and putting a bit of make-up on! 

    Best & worst attributes: I am an optimist and I love meeting people from all walks of life. Worst? I can be quite nosey and I am worried about my temper if I am too hungry. 

    Dream camper: Dawn French, I love her. 

    MARVIN HUMES

    MARVIN HUMES

    Claim to fame: JLS star.

    Phobias: Heights. I have pulled out of a skydive with JLS in the past because I was too scared! 

    Biggest misconception you want to dispel in the jungle: To show I am not just a member of a boy band. It will be nice for people to learn more about me. 

    Role in camp: I’d like to think I will be a shoulder to cry on and a mediator. 

    Aside from family, what will you miss most whilst in camp?: My fantasy football app! I am obsessed with it! Four weeks without music is a long time, too. 

    Best & worst attributes: I’ve got three children under the age of ten and you definitely need a lot of patience for that! Worst? Rochelle would probably say I get ‘hangry’ if I don’t have enough food. 

    Dream camper: Paddy McGuinness – I’ve done Soccer Aid with him before and I know he’s funny, he gets stuck in and he is hands on.

    GRACE DENT

    GRACE DENT

    Claim to fame: MasterChef star and food critic. 

    Phobias: Horrible people. 

    Biggest misconception you want to dispel in the jungle: People think I am quite forthright and scary but I don’t think I am scary! Hopefully people will see this. 

    Role in camp: Shoulder to cry on and I am a practical cook so I can help out. 

    Aside from your family, what will you miss the most whilst in camp? My three cats and my make-up bag. I love a bit of glamour. 

    Best & worst attributes: I would like to think I am funny! My worst quality is lack of sleep. I like my sleep. 

    Dream camper: Queen Camilla. She would be very practical. And Madonna – she could perform tracks from her Greatest Hits tour!
