I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! stars Carol Vorderman and Christopher Biggins shared details of how the ITV reality show camp copes with creepy crawlies from the surrounding jungle.
The cast and crew of I'm a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! have headed to Springbook National Park in Queensland, New South Wales to film the show, which this year returned to Australia after two years in Wales during the coronavirus pandemic.
I’m A Celebrity alums Carol Vorderman and Christopher Biggins appeared on This Morning to chat about the 2022 series ahead of the final this weekend.
Sitting down with co-hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary, the pair were quizzed on the realities of living in the jungle, surrounded by spiders, snakes and other creepy crawlies.
Dermot asked if the celebrity campmates were ever at risk of being bitten by the critters strolling into camp unannounced.
Smiling, Biggins replied: “Obviously ITV don’t want anybody to die. So they’re very careful what they put in with you.”
Looking back on his own stint in the I’m A Celebrity camp, which saw him crowned King of the Jungle in 2007, he said: “But I remember one day we were playing with a spider that came into camp and there was a terrible rush of people that came in because the spider was poisonous. We could have died.”
Nodding, Carol added: “Snakes come into camp and you have to put your hand up, shout snake and point.”
Biggins noted his camp also saw a 70ft python slither in from the jungle, as Carol said the ITV wranglers then come in to handle the creatures.
This comes after Babatúndé Aléshé shared his extreme weight loss earlier in the programme, after exiting the I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! Camp
The comedian appeared on Friday morning’s instalment of This Morning with hosts Alison and Dermot from his hotel on the Golden Coast in Australia.
After surviving over two weeks in the ITV jungle camp, Babatúndé told hosts Alison and Dermot he had lost a whopping stone and a half on the gruelling I’m A Celebrity diet.
The ITV contestants are forced to eat little but meagre portions of rice and beans – as well as the occasional course of blended cockroaches or kangaroo anus.
Babatúndé opened up about the heavily restricted diet, which he said was one of the hardest aspects of appearing on the show.
