I’m A Celeb’s Naughty Boy smuggles spices into camp – and risks punishment
I’M A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here’s Naughty Boy has risked punishment already after sneaking contraband into the castle.
The chart-topper, 36, was seen tonight admitting that he had brought spices into the camp despite them being strictly banned.
In the past, celebrities have been punished for covertly entering the show with luxury items, including cooking ingredients such as salt.
But speaking in the Telegraph, Naughty Boy – who has found himself on basic rations in the Castle Clink – said he had hidden lots of different seasonings in a SOCK.
He said: “Before I left, I grinded some spices that could make rice and beans actually taste a bit nice, so what I did, I put it in my sock.
“There’s cumin seeds, cloves, turmeric, coriander seeds. If you could smell this. Wow. And black peppercorns.”
Incredibly, Naughty Boy asked show bosses if he could use his homemade seasoning to make rice and beans taste better.
He was then forced to hand his contraband, which he’d wrapped in cling film, over.
Richard Madeley was impressed, however. He told him: “That was really good of you to think of us. It is a real mark of your character, actually.”
NAUGHTY BEHAVIOUR
In 2019, former EastEnders star Cliff Parisi admitted he had sneaked salt and pepper into the Australian jungle in his pants.
But producers were none the wiser and the actor only confessed to his wrongdoing during his exit interview with show presenters Ant and Dec.
Others have not been so lucky, however.
In 2010, Gillian McKeith managed to enter the jungle with a huge haul of cooking ingredients to spice up rice and beans.

But she was rumbled when fellow contestant Stacey Solomon asked for some “special stuff” to go in her lunch.
Show bosses spotted the Scottish telly star rummaging around in her bag so demanded to see the contents.
Incredibly, Gillian was found to have five pouches Japanese miso soup powder, eight stock cubes and assorted bags of cumin, celery and garlic, rock salt and herbs.
She was then stripped of her jungle privileges as a result of her bad behaviour.
Naughty Boy was one of 10 contestants to enter Abergele’s Gwrych Castle in Wales tonight.

Naughty Boy admitted: “I’ve camped at music festivals.
“Glastonbury they’ve got sick ‘glamping’. I don’t think the Castle is going to be like ‘glamping’. No. Is this like camping? I didn’t think this part through did I?”
