I'm A Celebrity 2017: Fears mount as stars 'could be EVACUATED from camp'
THE I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! contestants could face evacuation from their jungle camp if the weather worsens in Australia, according to reports.
Revealed: Meet 2017's I'm A Celebrity camp mates
Just one day after the I'm A Celebrity 2017 line-up was confirmed, sources claim that the forecasted downpours could leave the stars having to be moved from their original camp Croc Creek to another location on higher ground.
The celebrities are set to head into the jungle on Sunday after being confirmed for the ITV show, but insiders told The Sun: "We are preparing for all eventualities.
"Provisions are in place for soggy conditions and campmates are equipped with waterproofs to wear should it rain heavily," the source said.
They revealed that I'm A Celebrity producers are putting contingency plans in place should the camp become flooded, adding: "It's just a shame for viewers back home in the UK who like to see the celebs enjoying the warm weather."
Another side effect of the weather conditions could leave some fans of the show even more disappointed, as the insider confessed that it could dampen down the sexiness.
"There is also more chance of the women donning their bikinis for the waterfall shower scenes when it's warm, so they're hoping it will brighten up as soon as possible," they said.
ITV declined to comment on the reports.
The line-up could heat up screens this year as five singletons have opened up about the possibility of finding love Down Under.
YouTube star Jack Maynard, 22, is the youngest celebrity taking part and has revealed that, although striking up a romance wouldn't be the best idea, he is open to the idea of a jungle fling, saying: "Anything can happen."
Comedian Shappi Khorsaddi, 44, also confessed that she's not against finding love, while 28-year-old former Saturdays star Vanessa White is also newly single, teasing: "Who knows? I am keeping my options open."
Hollyoaks hunk Jamie Lomas, 42, didn't rule out getting close to one of his new campmates either, saying: "That's the whole enjoyment of life and the element of surprise.
I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! returns Sunday at 9pm on ITV.
