Im A Celeb star admits miracle we didnt beat each | UK News

Former I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! star GK Barry revealed just how powerful circumstances had been in the Australian jungle, admitting it was a “miracle” the campmates didn’t lose their tempers with each other. The TikToker, 26, entered the jungle during the 2024 collection, ending in fifth place. While celebrities normally anticipate gruelling bushtucker trials and bouts of boredom, they will at least depend on Australia’s sunny climate to elevate their spirits.

However, last yr’s collection was hit by some of the worst climate in the show’s historical past. Torrential rain and flash floods made it unimaginable for hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly to attain camp, and producers had been even pressured to draw up emergency plans to evacuate the celebrities from camp. Despite the intense circumstances, the campmates managed to keep away from major tensions or arguments throughout the three weeks in the jungle. Speaking about the gruelling climate on her podcast Saving Grace, the social media star said: “If it was thunder and lightning which, by the best way, was the entire f**king time I used to be in there, it was deemed unsafe.

“So at some point we would all as a collective group get called into the Bush Telegraph and we would have to stay in there until the lightening and the storm had gone.”

“Each night you were getting woken up one or two times to sit in the Bush Telegraph and then you’re up at 5:30am.

“So it’s a miracle we didn’t all beat each other up to be honest with you. Because the lack of sleep and the hunger is no joke.”

This yr’s campmates are no doubt hoping to keep away from a repeat of those difficult circumstances. The new batch of stars entered the Australian jungle during Sunday night time’s launch show, including EastEnders star Shona McGarty, model Kelly Brook and Spandau Ballet singer Martin Kemp.

They had been joined by comic Eddie Kadi, former footballer Alex Scott, TV presenter Ruby Wax and Emmerdale‘s Lisa Riley. Making up this yr’s campmates is actuality star Jack Osbourne, rapper Aitch and social media star Angry Ginge.

The 10 campmates are settling into jungle life before they’re joined by reported late arrivals Vogue Williams and Tom Read Wilson.

Back in 2018, Kelly admitted there can be “a million” other issues she would slightly do than seem in the jungle.

“I don’t want to eat eyeballs or sheep testicles and all the things they have to eat on there,” she said on her Heart radio show. “Even if I had a huge tax bill and I had to pay it really urgently, I still wouldn’t do it.”
