I’m a Celebrity makes history by specially adapting entire camp for one contestant

This year’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! kicks off in a few days time with a brand-new batch of stars and a completely revamped camp.

ITV has confirmed the celebrities who will be heading into the I'm A Celeb camp as: Wayne Rooney, Claire Sweeney, AJ Odudu, Ricky Wilson, Chloe Burrows, Ade Adepitan, Mariella Frostrup, Sharky, Joanna Page, Jack Skipper and Leomie Anderson.

As ever, the show is promising plenty of twists, turns and surprises - as well as the chance to see some of the famous faces taking part tucking into kangaroo anus and the like.

And for the first time this year, campmates will be headed into a completely redesigned camp that has been specially adapted for former Paralympian Adepitan, who is a wheelchair user.

ITV has said it worked closely with Adepitan, even flying him out to Australia earlier this year to take a look around the old camp to see what would need to be adapted.

Pathways in the camp have been modified so they’re deeper and parking bays for Adepitan’s

wheelchairs have been created so he can transfer between his crutches and wheelchair, as he would outside of camp.

Other changes include, new areas set up for resting along the path from camp to the creek and a stairlift to access to the jungle shower.

Throughout this year’s series, Adepitan will use three wheelchairs in and around camp along with three pairs of crutches when required. There will also be another wheelchair for the Trials and an electric wheelchair that can handle more difficult terrain, for example on the beach.

The adaptations mean that Adepitan will be able to take part in the majority of this year’s Bushtucker Trials, including the legendary Celebrity Cyclone.

One of the show’s executive producers told The Mirror: “There are about 23 trials, and he can do the majority of them, which I think is a real achievement.

“It would be really easy just to go, ‘Here’s the trial,’ and then say, ‘Well, he can’t do it. Medically exempt,’ or whatever it might be.

“There are lots of people every year who are exempt for various reasons, but we really wanted to set him up to succeed.”

The exec producer added: “All I will say is that if he makes it that far…he will be doing the Celebrity Cyclone. Without giving anything away, from the moment you see him on screen, you will be impressed.”

There’s also been some changes for Kiosk Kev who will be ‘working from home’ with this year’s celebrities having to give him a call when they’re taking part in challenges, with Deals on Wheels replaced by the Jungle Hotline.

“The centrepiece of every Jungle Hotline challenge – which still takes place out of camp – is the golden phone box,” ITV explained.

“Each time, it’s locked shut in a different way, and the challenge is to figure out how to get inside it. If the campmates manage to open it, they will be able to call Kiosk Kev to order a treat on his brand new Jungle Hotline.

“Kev will then call the famous red phone box and for the first time ever the treat will be revealed in camp, locked inside the brand new British red post box.”

I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! returns this Monday 16 November at 9pm on ITV1, STV and ITVX.
