I’m A Celebrity 2022 stars have been issued a stark warning just days before the show’s launch on ITV.
The stars are set to face a horrifying mix of creepy crawlies – including giant spiders – after the camp was hit by torrential rain recently.
I’m A Celebrity 2022 stars warned
The celebrities are reportedly going to be in for a horrific surprise when they arrive at the camp in Australia this week.
It has been reported that following torrential rain, creepy critters, including giant spiders, are rife in the camp.
This is because they thrive in wet and humid conditions, making the camp the perfect place for them to live.
Speaking to the Mirror recently, Professor Dieter Hochuli – who leads the Integrative Ecology Group at the University of Sydney – warned that mosquitos could be a big issue for the celebrities this year.
“The big one that is causing lots of concerns for this upcoming summer is mosquitoes,” he said.
“Their biology is driven by available water and higher temperatures means they will be able to reproduce quickly once the weather heats up.”
He continued, saying: “The public health risks are significant and it will be an important summer for covering up and wearing repellent. This moist environment is really helping insects deal with one of the greatest threats which is drying out.”
Camp closed after bad weather
The bad weather led to the camp closing temporarily recently after floods hit the area.
Crew were reportedly forced off-site just days before the celebrities arrive.
“The camp was closed yesterday due to the extreme rain. No staff were allowed on site because it was too dangerous,” a source told The Sun.
“They were told to get out of the area and totally downed tools,” they continued.
“It meant a precious day of preparation was lost as crew faced a race against time to get the site ready.”
An ITV spokesperson confirmed to the publication that they had been forced to close the camp for 24 hours.
They blamed this hitch on the weather.
