I’m a Celeb contestants could face a CREEPY new challenge in camp this series
Following the huge storm that hit Australia
Fans were thrilled with the news that I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here would be returning to Australia in the next season, after filming took place in Wales for the past two years. As we get closer to the start date for the upcoming series, more details are coming out about what we can expect from the ITV show.
As well as several of the new campers being revealed, including footballer Jill Scott, there has been an update on a new challenge that campers could be facing this time around.
It's been said that this year could see even more creepy crawlies in the campsite because of the huge storm that took place in Australia last week. The torrential rain has created a breeding ground for mosquitos, giant spiders and cockroaches who thrive in the damp environment.
Last week, the country experienced a week's worth of rain over three days, which forced the camp to close for 24 hours, but it seems like the effect of the storm isn't over yet.

We all know that creepy crawlies are part of the challenges, with many celebs being covered in insects over the years, but they might have to deal with the insects before even starting the show.
According to the Mirror, news reports from Australia have shown an increase in cockroaches, spiders and rats on the Gold Coast, which is where the contestants will be staying before the show begins.
Good luck to all the campers!

Although the cast for this year's line-up is being kept under wraps, there are plenty of rumours surrounding who will appear on the show. On 28th October, Ant and Dec further fuelled this by reacting to the line-up in a Twitter video.
Su-Elise Nash
Mis-Teeq singer Su-Elise Nash is reportedly set to follow in the footsteps of her band mate Sabrina Washington, who appeared in 2009. A source said: "Su was incredibly supportive of Sabrina's jungle experience and now she could get her own shot. There have been early talks for her to be considered. The reunion has reminded everyone just how much love there still is for Mis-Teeq."
Jeremy Clarkson
Thanks to the success of Clarkson's Farm, rumours were rife that Jeremy Clarkson is in demand with reality TV shows, with I'm A Celeb reportedly top of the list!
Jools Oliver
When hosts Ant and Dec invited TV chef Jamie Oliver to appear on the show, he quickly declined, saying: "Thanks for the offer boys, I would love to come on I'm A Celeb. "I think it's an amazing show, but honestly, you couldn't give me enough olive oil in the world to make me eat a witchetty grub or a kangaroo's a--e, no way."
However, he did nominate his wife Jools, adding: "But what I can give you is my wife Jools, she would love to be on the show. Go on Jools."
Nick Ferrari
Reports suggested bosses were determined to get TV and Radio host Nick Ferrari on the line-up in 2025, but he didn't appear. Maybe they'll go back with a new offer in 2026.
Olivia Attwood
As fans will know, reality star Olivia Attwood was forced to quit the 2022 series due to medical reasons, leaving her gutted. Olivia later hinted she could return for the 2023 series, admitting she'd had chats with bosses during an appearance on Loose Women.
Although she's in demand right now and very busy with radio and TV jobs, we have to admit we'd love to see Liv back in the jungle at some point!
Danny Dyer
Since Danny Dyer left his iconic role as Queen Vic landlord Mick Carter on EastEnders last year, he's been heavily rumoured for I'm A Celeb.
Of course, his family are no strangers to reality TV, with Danny's daughter Dani winning Love Island back in 2018.
Denise van Outen
The lovely Denise van Outen is no stranger to reality shows, having appeared on the likes of Strictly Come Dancing and Celebrity Gogglebox in recent years. Denise has previously admitted she turned down the offer in 2021, so could she appear in 2026?
When does I'm A Celeb start?
The new series starts on 6th November on ITV at 9pm.
