Viewers of I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! have been loving this series so far, with Harry Redknapp's stories and Anne Hegerty's bluntness being stand-out memories of I'm A Celebrity 2018 already.
With Deal Or No Deal's Noel Edmonds set to join the camp later on as the highest-paid campmate ever, the series is set to be one of the biggest since it began back in 2002. But one of last year's contestants, Rebekah Vardy, has now opened up about the show - revealing it's FAKE.
The WAG opened up to heat magazine, revealing all in an interview about her stint in the Australian jungle last year. Saying that she'd been "stupidly naïve" about the amount of food available on the show, Rebekah admitted that although that was real, there was plenty about the show that is not.
"If you’re stood where the phone box is and look straight out, it’s all fake," she confessed. "I lost count of how many cameras there are. Above your head, the cameras are on zipwires, so they follow you everywhere! It is crazy, it’s like Big Brother – you’re watched and listened to 24 hours a day."

But she didn't stop there - when asked what surprised her most about appearing on the show, Rebekah confessed, "How edited it is, even down to us walking to the trials. We had to do that walk three or four times.
"Any time that you see people sat around there, usually someone’s been called into the Bush Telegraph and comes out with a bit of paper and says, 'We all need to discuss this topic'."
Despite all that, Rebekah looked back on her time in the jungle with fondness, "I’m really excited to be on the other end this time – to look at it from a completely different perspective.
"I think that for someone to do well on the show, they’ve got to have the experience of being on TV. I didn’t have that experience – I went in there thinking, 'Oh, I’ll just be normal myself and I’ll be absolutely fine'. I don’t think I’m made for reality TV – I’m a bit too honest."
