I’m A Celeb camp invaded by poisonous TOADS days before stars arrive to film first trial
I’m A Celebrity’s Australian jungle camp has been invaded by poisonous toads – just days before this year’s stars arrive.
Traditionally airing at the end of each year, I’m A Celeb has become a much-loved ITV staple.
However, the familiar camp is under attack from poisonous cane toads.
If disturbed by a human, a cane toad could squirt toxin into the eyes – resulting in pain and disrupted vision.
Meanwhile, ingesting or swallowing the toxin could affect heart function, breathing and blood pressure.
The amphibians possess swellings on each shoulder, where poison is released when threatened.
A source told The Mirror: “As if there weren’t enough things for the campers to worry about like spiders, snakes and ticks, now it looks like they’ll have to keep an eye out for armies of these poisonous pests.
“They love ponds so the jungle creek and even the famous shower area will need to be monitored closely.”
It would mean rumoured names such as Coleen Rooney, Ally McCoist and Alan Halsall will be on high alert in camp.
Meanwhile, it was recently revealed a key part of I’m A Celeb would be returning.
The popular spin-off show – which has gone by different names over the years – will be making a comeback.
It will now be known as I’m A Celebrity Unpacked, while this update confirmed The Sun’s exclusive story revealing its return.
2016 runner-up and The Masked Singer host Joel Dommett, 39, is set come back.
The popular star previously presented the show under its former name, Extra Camp.
Joining him will be 2023 King of the Jungle, Sam Thompson, as well as radio DJ Kemi Rodgers.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain, Joel said: “I feel like it’s the right time to bring it back.
I’m A Celeb’s rumoured line-up so far
I'M A Celeb is due to start airing on November 17, and speculation about the participants has been rife.
