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.
Alan Halsall
Coronation Street star Alan Halsall has been in the rumour mill for a number of years now and it's understood he was due to appear in 2023, before picking up a nasty ACL injury which resulted in him needing major surgery. It's now being reported that bosses are keen to sign Alan for the 2024 show.
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.
However, after Olivia didn't appear in the 2023 series, could she feature on the 2024 line-up?
Phillip Schofield
After leaving his presenting role on This Morning in 2023, rumours were rife that Phillip Schofield could take part in the 2023 series. As fans will know, Phillip wasn't on the line-up, but with reports suggesting he's about to make a comeback to TV, could I'm A Celeb be the platform he needs to re-launch his career?
Alex Beresford
Good Morning Britain weather reporter Alex Beresford has recently expressed interest in appearing on I'm A Celeb. He told the Mirror: "Out of all the shows I would love to do, I would love to do the jungle."
Alex recently appeared on BBC One's Celebrity Race Across The World.
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 will 2024 be her year?
Sam Aston
Coronation Street legend Sam Aston hinted he'd love to take part in the show in 2021.
Speaking to OK! Magazine at the time, he said: "I've always said no to all of those shows, but then recently for some reason I've been more open to the idea. Jennie McAlpine and Andy Whyment did the jungle and both of them said it's the experience of a lifetime.
"If I was offered it I would be open to the idea and open to the extra pennies!"
The Vivienne
RuPaul's Drag Race UK winner The Vivienne recently admitted she would love to appear on I'm A Celeb during a chat with Lorraine.
She said: "Do you know what, I've never thought about it but what an absolutely amazing opportunity that would be."
Phil Taylor
Ever since he admitted he'd 'love' to appear on the show a number of years ago, darts legend Phil Taylor has been heavily rumoured every year. As he's not yet entered the jungle, could 2024 be his year?
Will Mellor
Following his stint on Strictly Come Dancing in 2022, it seems actor Will Mellor has the reality TV bug, as he's admitted to his friend and former co-star Ralf Little he'd fancy appearing on I'm A Celeb. Could 2024 be his year?
Richard Arnold
Good Morning Britain's entertainment presenter Richard Arnold is usually the one travelling over to Australia to report on the cast, but if rumours are to be believed, he could be taking part this year!
When does I'm A Celeb start?
The new series starts on 6th November on ITV at 9pm.
