UPDATE: I’m A Celebrity bosses are in an uproar after contestants were caught smuggling banned items into the jungle once again. Reports confirm that one contestant has successfully sneaked butter into the camp, raising eyebrows and concerns among production.
The illegal item was discovered in a small plastic sachet, but the identity of the smuggler remains a mystery. Insiders suggest that the show’s producers are preparing to present the rule-breaker with “two options” to address the situation, though details of these options have not been disclosed. Sources indicate that both choices could lead to significant changes within the camp dynamic.
“It’s been a day of twists and turns with more contraband discovered, and the fallout from this rule breach has shaken the entire camp,” a source revealed. Contestants had previously participated in a contraband amnesty, surrendering items like salt and air freshener.
Former footballer Alex Scott, who has since been voted out, was previously caught using confiscated salt during a meal preparation, much to the astonishment of viewers. During last Sunday’s episode, hosts Ant and Dec confirmed that the salt was indeed contraband, leaving the audience on edge about potential consequences for Scott.
Additionally, contestant Shona McGarty confessed to sneaking a bottle of air freshener into the camp, hidden in the dunny. The ongoing rule violations echo past seasons, where celebrities have faced backlash for similar infractions. Last year, radio presenter Dean McCullough successfully smuggled tea bags into camp, which sparked concern among fellow contestants over the unusual color of their morning drink.
Past incidents include Gillian McKeith sneaking banned goods, such as salt and herbs, during her 2010 appearance, and Hugo Taylor hiding salt and pepper sachets in 2012. In a notable case from 2013, model Amy Willerton managed to keep an entire makeup bag hidden for 10 days, while TV chef Gino D’Acampo stuffed his pillow with contraband, including tea and coffee.
This latest contraband scandal raises serious questions about security protocols on the show, prompting fans to wonder how these items are making their way into the jungle. With tensions rising and uncertainty among contestants, viewers are left anticipating the fallout from this violation.
