I'm A Celebrity: first look inside the jungle camp

Nigel Farage, Josie Gibson and co are getting ready for the I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! jungle, with the new series just around the corner.

The celebs have jetted Down Under ahead of the ITV show’s launch and will no doubt be enjoying their last little luxuries for a while.

In just a few days they will be heading into the camp, where they will be saying goodbye to their plush lives and bedding down in the open with just the basics to keep them comfy.

Pictures of this year’s camp have been released, so we take a little look at where this year’s crop of contestants will be living.

Camp fire

The camp fire is always a favourite with both the campers and viewers – the campers as it keeps them warm as the sun goes down in the jungle, and the viewers because it’s where the stars unwind and start to dish a little gossip.

This year’s fire isn’t much different to past series, but does feature a nicely placed log for the likes of Jamie Lynn Spears and Grace Dent to perch as they eat their rice and beans of an evening.

Waterfall shower

No camp would be complete without the waterfall shower, where celebs looking to clean up after a hard day of being covered in creepy crawlies can take a refreshing wash.

The rocky area is not particularly well shielded so the stars tend to wash in their swimsuits.

The camp shower provided one of I’m A Celebrity’s most talked about moments, where Myleene Klass washed in a white bikini.

It happened in 2006 and still comes up today, and Klass has said it gave her career quite the boost.

She was quoted as saying in an interview with BUILD LDN in 2017: “If it works for another girl, I say jump in the shower - it's freezing but jump in!"

Bunk beds and hammocks

Sleep is always an issue in the camp, with not enough comfortable beds to go around.

This year will be the same, with some stars having to share bunk beds. Luckily, as picking a place to sleep happens early, everyone is on their best behaviour and there shouldn't be much in the way of rows when it comes to who gets the top bunk..

Other less fortunate celebs will have to make do with hammocks, which frequently trigger grumbling about aches and pains as the days roll on.

Red phone box

The phone box has become an important element as it’s used in the Dingo Dollars challenges.

Two stars usually visit the Kiosk where they are challenged to answer a question that could see them rewarded with a tasty treat.

They dial the main camp to mull over the answer, which the contestants rushing to the red phone box to take the call.

In fact, it is such an important part of the show that when I’m A Celeb moved to Gwrych Castle in Wales because of the coronavirus pandemic, bosses made sure there was a red phone box there too.

Bath

The bath looks like as much hard work as always, with the stars having to rely on their strength to crank out water.

Bright white for now, the clawfoot tub is perched on a little wooden deck and surrounded by trees and plants.

A wooden wheel nearby is connected to a little funnel that, when turned, should help fill the bath. Good luck with that!

Bush Telegraph

One thing that's hard to come by in the jungle is the chance for a private chat.

Between their fellow celebs and all of the cameras, the stars really have to pick their moments when it comes to letting off steam or talking about someone.

Luckily they have the Bush Telegraph when they need a private vent. But it has been reported that this year there will also be an extra little nook that will be perfect for a secret gossiping session.

The new series starts at 9pm on ITV on 19 November.
