However, despite all the 'fun' in the I'm A Celebrity jungle, reports have recently emerged that not everything is as it seems! After The Chase star was seen eating a wichety grub and washing it down with a fish-eye smoothie last weekend, some have claimed that her 'tasty' drink was actually swapped with a fizzy drink!
Anne Hegerty
One fan tweeted, 'Well done Anne Hegerty, but I’m sure you got a glass of Coca Cola!!!', with another commenting, 'That was definitely coffee or cola that @anne_hegerty was drinking on #imaceleb the other night. She’s been so uncomfortable about everything else and did that no problem... very suspicious.'
The Mirror are now quoting an ITV spokesman as saying, "It's complete nonsense to suggest that I'm A Celebrity is fixed, and we strongly refute any claims that suggest otherwise."
However, there are other aspects of the show that viewers and some publications have been questioning. Two years ago Women's Own magazine claimed the rocks that the celebrities sit on are actually made out of papier-mâché, whilst last year it was also reported that some celebrities were given Lucozade after fainting due to lack of food.
Now take a look at 10 things you probably didn't know about I'm A Celebrity:
Celebrities are only allowed one phone call
Celebrities are only allowed one phone call before technology is confiscated. Usually the celebrities are chaperoned from the UK to Australia on their way to the camp, however when they get to where they stay before the show, they are given ONE phone call before their phone and other technology is removed from their possessions.

The presenters are on site super early
Because of the time difference between the UK and Australia the presenters - this year Dec Donnelly and Holly Willoughby - have to be on site incredibly early! Starting at 2.30am to do any voiceover work, they then have to go through the day's script and have their make-up done before being in the studio for 7am - which is when we see them on the live TV show in the UK.
The technology involved is huge
As we all know the I'm A Celebrity set is covered with cameras, recording all of the ins and outs of the celebs lives, however of course to make a TV programme out of it all, it needs to be edited. There are 13 edit suites used throughout the series. The 'nerve centre' of the production is in use 24 hours a day where the crew are logging the celebs actions and also speaking to any celebs who enter the Bush Telegraph.
The I'm A Celebrity set ISN'T in the middle of nowhere
From the looks of it, the I'm A Celebrity set is in the middle of nowhere, however it's actually in Springbrook National Park in a town called Murwillumbah in Queensland. Whilst the friends and family of the celebrities reportedly stay in the luxurious Palazzo Versace Hotel, the crew are based in the holiday resort of Coolangatta.
Celebrities are sent a DVD to prepare themselves
The book I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! The Inside Story has revealed that, 'every celebrity who is considering taking part is sent a pack including a DVD so they know precisely what they're letting themselves in for.'
There are many more crew involved than you probably imagine
I'm A Celebrity is a huge production with around 150 crew working on the show each day who need to be fed. No widgety grub for them!
The medical team are kept on their toes
Over the years, the medical team have been kept busy. Back in 2013, one of the members of the crew got a tick bite resulting in severe anaphylactic shock. Other medical concerns over the years have included over 100 ticks removed from both the celebs and crew and 22 carpet pythons relocated! Once a celeb is voted off the show they also have to see the show's psychiatrist, before checking in with Medic Bob to get their weight and blood pressure taken.
The waterfall shower is FAKE!
We've all seen the waterfall scenes, BUT it turns out that it was actually created for the show! Lauren Booth, a contestant in 2006 revealed it was 'turned off' when campmates weren't using it to shower, and it runs 'hot water'.
The are A LOT of bugs!
It's a good job that Holly Willoughby isn't a participant on I'm A Celebrity. Reports suggest that in each series of the show 250,000 cockroaches, 153,000 crickets, 2.5 million mealworms, 400 spiders, 500 rats and 30 snakes are bred.

This comes just a week after Rebekah Vardy revealed exclusively to us that I'm a Celebrity is 'ALL FAKE'! The former contestant told us, "If you’re stood where the phone box is and look straight out, it’s all fake. 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."
However, Rebekah did reveal that when it came to food, "You literally have to be on your last legs to get anything. That was the bit that I was really quite stupidly naïve about."

Rebekah later revealed how she was happy to be watching the current series from the comfort of her own home saying, "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."
I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! continues tonight at 9pm on ITV.
