The jungle site which ITV plans to use for the new series of I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here! has been hit by a poison scare.
Dungay Creek in New South Wales, which runs through the stars' jungle camp, has been contaminated by a toxic insecticide. Department of Environment and Climate Change officials have warned locals to stay away from the water and banned fishing and swimming.
A source told the Daily Star Sunday: "It's a nightmare. No one saw this kind of problem coming our way."
An ITV spokeswoman said: "Dungay Creek runs through the land where I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here! is filmed. Investigations are still ongoing. The show will be going ahead as planned. We cannot comment further until the outcome of these investigations is available."
depending on who else is in there she'll get voted for every challenge
I'd not thought about that, but it would be a real laugh if it happened. Additionally of course people would have to vote to keep her in the game week after week.
It would be interesting to see how the show would handle targeted voting like that, especially in view of the recent scandals around phone voting in the UK.
Probably they would come up with a rule that says you are only allowed a certain number of challenges and then you are excluded from the voting.

i'm sure there was someone on the last series who was targeted pretty bad by the public for all the challenges, i can't remember who was on it though - the only person i can really remember from all the ones i've seen is princess dianas butler, paul burrell!

Gemma Atkinson is among the celebrities confirmed for this year's I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here lineup.

The celebrities began arriving in Australia last night during torrential rain, which according to The Sun is threatening to turn their campsite into a swamp.
Last year's winner Matt Willis commented: "The camp has been absolutely soaked. I don’t envy this year’s contestants - I hope they they’ve brought their waterproofs."
I'm A Celebrity... begins on ITV1 this Monday. (Nov 12th)
Can't wait.....
Face, is this something you'll be capping? A huge investment in time I know....If not, I'll be grabbing it elsewhere and can upload here, but if you can upload it at Couchiferous speeds, it would be much appreciated. I would constantly be a day behind.
I'll see what I can do about capping it maycm - with things uploading in a coucherific fashion these days it should be ok for the first while at least.
I've not heard either of those names before pirty - I'll need to brush up on my Hello magazines! haha
Here's a blog I just saw - if he's going to keep it up throughout the show it could be very good. It's written by a guy who often has jokes and letters published in Viz - not that that's any signifier of quality!
