Ant and Dec have revealed what happens when it rains on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! camp when it was hit by terrible storms.
A storm accompanied by heavy rain hit the Jungle this week in what will be the first spell of bad weather that the characters in this series will face.
And while they sleep under the trees, the presenting duo explained how the contestants will be protected.
In a clip shared on TikTok, Ant used a plate of baked beans and a paper plate to demonstrate.
‘They don’t cover the camp, there is a canopy in the middle. So all the beds are here and there’s the canopy,’ he said.
Ant and Dec have revealed what happens when it rains on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! camp that was hit by terrible storms
A storm accompanied by heavy rain hit the Jungle this week in what will be the first bad streak that the characters in this series will face.
‘Let’s say these beans are the beds, and then there is a canopy, if it rains from the side, it comes in from the sides.’
The rain that celebrities often complain about is less of a problem than it seems.
There is actually a retractable canopy 50 feet in the air above the campsite, which keeps the stars from getting drenched and keeps the campfire going.
Over the course of the year it has been decided that it would be dangerous to leave celebrities in a rainy jungle without any shelter, not to mention it would make for bad television.
However, it is not completely weatherproof nor does it cover the entire campsite, although it is said to leak if it rains too much.
A source insisted to The Daily Mail: “Much of the camp is not indoors – it’s not like the roof at Wimbledon!”
It comes after warnings were issued last week for extreme weather and freak storms that were predicted to cause chaos at this year’s show.
ITV insiders revealed concerns ahead of last night’s show launch that incessant rain would “dampen and ultimately ruin” the series.

Despite the sunny weather over the weekend, wet weather is forecast to continue to plague Australia’s Gold Coast.
During heavy rain, a source close to the show told MailOnline last week: “If the celebrities were there right now, they would be drowning.”
“That jungle camp can’t handle this level of rain, everyone keeps checking the weather and it’s really not looking good for this series.
‘And the thing is, when it rains like that it’s not fun for anyone involved. That dampens the mood and ultimately ruins the show.
