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!
