The I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! bosses have confirmed the punishment after one of the campmates was caught breaking a major rule on the show.
Ant and Dec called out Alex Scott at the end of last night’s (23 November) episode as they warned: “Watch this space.”
Surely beating out previous years' records, it seems the celebrities made it a whole week in the jungle before the former England footballer got caught with contraband.
With the likes of makeup, extra clothing and tea bags banned from camp, Scott was caught using little sachets of salt when cooking dinner.

And fans of the show will know that there’s no tolerance on I’m A Celeb for contraband, with stars always facing the consequences for sneaking it in.
Alex Scott’s rule break
The sports broadcaster was on cooking duties with Jack Osbourne, when the pair were whipping up crocodile feet for tea.
And as the reality star told the camp it would just taste ‘like chicken’, Scott brazenly echoed: “Like, salt all over that, you’d just think it was chicken.”

She was even caught on the camera seeming to tip the sachets on the food, barely even hiding it.
“Jack, you have fun with the crocodile toes and just give me the mushrooms, the potatoes, the kale, the veg, the rice,” the star added. “I can get a little stir fry thing going on and add some flavours in. I know people are going to be happy with that.”
But while she added ‘some flavours in’, viewers joked: “Alex not even tryna hide she has contraband is sending me, could of at least tried to hide in a bush or smth girl.”
As another added: “I thought the meals seemed to be better than in previous years! Everyone was enjoying them way too much!! But it’s contraband again!”
And at the end of the episode, Ant said: “Was that a little bit of seasoning, Alex?”

“I think it was,” Dec added, “I think it was contraband, what’s going to happen? Watch this space.”
Contraband punishment confirmed
I’m A Celeb bosses told LADbible that there will in fact be punishment for the contraband and there could be more if anything else isn’t fessed up.
“IAC bosses will deliver a shocker to the campmates in tonight’s show as they’ll be told there’s contraband in camp and they've lost a star won by Aitch in today's Bushtucker Trial,” an ITV spokesperson told LADbible.

“Campmates will then be told there’s a contraband amnesty and they have an opportunity to surrender all contraband without further punishment. Once the camp owns up, dinner will then be delivered.
“What will they do and is there more than one contraband culprit?”
I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! is available to watch daily at 9pm on ITV1 & ITVX.
