I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! contestants are reportedly facing dangerous conditions in camp.
Medics on I’m A Celebrity are reportedly on high alert due to hazardous conditions in the camp.
The ITV reality show has just kicked off, with a star-studded line-up including Emmerdale’s Lisa Riley, Loose Women’s Kelly Brook, Aitch, Jack Osbourne, AngryGinge, and Alex Scott venturing into the jungle.
They’re bracing themselves for Ant and Dec’s gruelling bushtucker trials, aiming to bag stars and secure their spot on the show, with producers hinting that this year is set to be the “toughest” yet.
However, mere hours after the show’s launch, it’s reported that the camp is grappling with soaring humidity levels.

There are particular concerns for Jack Obsourne, as the sweltering conditions could exacerbate his multiple sclerosis symptoms.
The NHS describes multiple sclerosis as an incurable condition impacting the brain and spinal cord, leading to extreme fatigue, muscle cramps, numbness, and vision issues, reports the Express.
Humidity is reported to have increased at a rate of 20 percent higher than average for this time of year, while temperatures are exceeding 30 degrees.
A source told The Sun: “The celebs have been hit with some of the worst Australia has to offer this year from the word go.
“They’ve been taken from lovely air-conditioned hotels to the humidity of the Aussie jungle with no time to adjust to the humidity.
“When it’s like this, it’s seriously uncomfortable just to breathe in – let alone do any form of physical activity like they’ll have to do to keep camp moving. It’s been a baptism of fire.”
The publication claims that the medical team has measures in place to protect the celebrities as much as possible, such as special water-activated cooling towels that are said to prevent fainting.
Another source also said, “they are well prepared for situations like this”.
Reach PLC has approached ITV for comment.
Dad-of-four Jack was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2012 after experiencing numbness in his legs and vision loss in one eye.
He appeared on Dancing with the Stars the year after, making it all the way to the final, and raising awareness of how he could be active despite his diagnosis.
He said at the time: “One of the first questions I was asked was ‘How will having MS affect your ability to perform throughout the season?’ The truthful answer is… I had no idea.”
He added before the final: “Although since being diagnosed in May of 2012 with relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) I’ve been able to maintain a very active, and somewhat healthy lifestyle, I hadn’t had the opportunity to really figure out my limitations.”
He was also forced to withdraw from Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, the US version of SAS: Who Dares Wins, on medical grounds in 2023 after his elevated heart rate sparked concern.
At the time, he told Entertainment Weekly: “The show’s doctors were more concerned than I was. I’m pretty healthy considering I’m living with MS, but it doesn’t present itself daily for me. I’ve been, touch wood, going pretty strong, and I don’t have any issues with it right now. So that wasn’t a concern.”
I’m A Celebrity continues tonight at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX
