Former I'm A Celeb winner Phil Tufnell reveals truth about gross task campmates don't actually have to do

If you've been watching I'm A Celebrity this year, you'll know there's a list of jobs that campmates must complete each day.

Celebs are allocated these jobs by the 'camp leaders' and they generally include stuff like cooking duties, collecting water and sourcing wood for the fire.

But there's one job that the celebs seem to constantly bang on about and that is cleaning the dunny - aka the camp toilet.

Obviously, there's not a fully functioning toilet in the jungle, so the campmates have to make do with the dunny, which is essentially a pit where the celebs do their business.

Of course, it has to be emptied and that job is allocated to different celebrities throughout the series.

Or is it?

Well, former I'm A Celeb winner Phil Tufnell has opened up on the gross experience of emptying the dreaded dunny.

“A little secret here – the contestants remove the dunny, but don’t actually empty it," he wrote in his memoir, The Tourist: What Happens on Tour Stays on Tour ... Until Now!.

"They carry it down to a camouflaged wooden hut, tap on the door, and clear off.

“It’s basically an extreme version of that old knock-and-run game where you wrap a bit of dog muck in newspaper, set it on fire, drop it by someone’s front door, ring the bell, and leg it.”

Still, it's a pretty grim task as you're having to come eerily close to everybody else's business.

Tufnell isn't the only celeb to open up about the experience.

During this year's spin-off show, I’m A Celebrity… Unpacked, host Kemi Rogers asked co-hosts and previous campmates Joel Dommett and Sam Thompson: “How gross is the dunny really, without grossing us out and everyone who's watching talk us through it."

Dommett confessed: “It’s quite gross, it really is.”

Meanwhile, the Made in Chelsea star added that while you do ‘get used to it’, plenty of people tend to ‘freeze up for the first few days’.

“But then when it all lets loose it gets real heavy real fast,” he quipped as Dommett joked: “You don’t want to be emptying the dunny on day four.”

Thompson then went into further detail, adding: “Well, you have 12 campmates in there at one point and you have to unscrew the lid so you have to look, I'm sorry this is a bit graphic, but you have to look Kemi at everything in there, and you wouldn't believe the waste that come out.

“... The wild thing is you know who went last as well because they'll come back from the dunny.”

How lovely.
