Truth about the I'm A Celeb shower after Ant and Dec make confession over 'fake' jungle

The I'm A Celeb jungle may not be as real as it looks...

I'm A Celeb is considered to be one of the UK's toughest reality shows as celebrities go from luxury-living and central heating to caveman fires and showering with cold water.

Add in some creepy crawlies from the Bushtucker Trials and you've got ITV's most popular show.

Back in the day though, the creepiest thing on I'm A Celeb were the shower scenes, first made famous by Myleene Klass in her white bikini in 2006.

Although she was wearing a swimming costume, some rather thirsty sections of the nation were keen to watch.

For this year's competition, various celebs have shared their thoughts on the show's 'cringe' shower scenes, and producer Olly Nash has acknowledged that I'm A Celeb is a different programme to what it used to be.

He said: "It's funny, they have all asked about that this year, but most people just cover themselves up. And it's absolutely changed.

"I think the whole world has changed, hasn't it A lot over the years, and people are less likely to get in there and want to flaunt themselves."

That being said, it turns out that the waterfall shower isn't as 'authentic' as you thought.

In 2006, former contestant Lauren Booth told the Daily Mail: "The waterfall, like the pool beneath it, was not part of the jungle at all, but a man-made creation.

"Unless, of course, 'real' rainforest waterfalls get turned off between three and six every afternoon."

Hosts Ant and Dec also made a confession about the jungle, as Ant said in a TikTok video: "They don’t cover the camp."

Dec added: "There’s like a canopy."

"There’s a canopy in the middle so all the beds are here," Ant continued, before using Dec’s breakfast beans to demonstrate viewers at home.

While the canopy might cover the beds, it won’t be much use if the rain is coming sideways, Ant said.

To protect celebs from the weather, Nash added to The Mirror in 2016: "Quite obviously this is the shower. Next door is a secret cave which will be hidden behind a locked door."

“It will be used a number of times through out the series for our celebrities.

“Inside it is just a plain cave with a bench but we will be using it through out the series for various events.

“The floors a bit hard - but it can be used for romance.”
