I'm A Celebrity 2024 camp has 'fake' jungle and roof over it

I'm a Celeb is back...but apparently, the show's camp isn't actually in a jungle

Get ready to be shocked, I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! fans, as the famous camp is reported to be filmed in a 'fake' jungle that features a roof over the top.

The famous ITV reality show returned to our screens last night, with new celebs taking their place, ready to subject themselves to a number of disgusting and challenging trials, all for the British public's pleasure.

In the first episode alone, we had a number of talking points, from Coleen Rooney taking a Wagatha Christie joke on the chin, to Danny Jones' horror when he felt a snake in his shorts.

With Geordie duo Ant and Dec returning once again to present I'm a Celeb and huge names like Tulisa, Coleen Rooney, GK Barry and Danny Jones among those in the jungle, there's plenty for fans to look forward to.

Sorry to burst your bubble though - because it looks like the 'jungle' that the stars are living is said to be 'fake' and covered by a roof.

They did indeed jet off down under for the new season, even though a couple of contestants are running late, so what about the infamous location is fake?

Before you get your pitchforks out though, the reasoning behind it makes a fair bit of sense.

Without safety precautions, some torrential rain could ruin the show for all of us.

Located in the Springbrook National Park in Murwillumbah, New South Wales, Australia, the I'm a Celeb camp has a secret roof, which allows campmates to shield themselves from a potential downpour.

This is also used to protect the very expensive (and important) recording equipment used for the show.

As well as this, it is also used to lower down what the campmates win after their Bushtucker trials.

However, an insider told the MailOnline: “A lot of the camp is not under shelter – it’s not like the roof at Wimbledon,” they said, adding that the roof doesn't even cover the beds that they sleep in.

Sorry to shatter even more of your beliefs, but it turns out that the National Park where it is held isn't even classified as a jungle, it's actually a 'lowland subtropical rainforest'.

It is a close shave between the two, but if we're being pedantic, there is a difference.

Alison Hammond has previously confirmed there is some shelter at the camp, meaning that stars can’t just catch a tan while they’re lying around counting the zeros on their payslips.

The This Morning presenter, who took part in the show in 2010, spoke on the Saving Grace podcast, telling this year's contestant, GK Barry: "No, you can't [sunbathe].

“There's trees everywhere and also they've got this canopy for lighting.

“You feel like you're on a camping film set but you can't see the cameras."

LADbible has contacted ITV for comment.
