Some of the stars of ITV’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! have been seen laughing and joking after parachuting onto a beach on Australia’s Gold Coast.
Kelly Brook, Shona McGarty, Eddie Kadi, Martin Kemp and Aitch were seen after skydiving, laughing and joking as I’m A Celeb hosts Ant and Dec looked on as they stood atop what appeared to be a castle. A source told The Mirror: “They all seemed to be getting on really well with each other despite presumably having only just met. They are clearly all bonding all very quickly this year.”
The stars only arrived in Australia in the last few days, as the hit jungle show prepares to return this Sunday. There was no sign of the remaining other stars in the line-up: Alex Scott, Lisa Riley, Ginge, Jack Osbourne and Ruby Wax.
The Mirror spoke to several of the stars as they landed at Brisbane Airport, with singer Martin saying he would miss his family. “What am I going to miss….my family, but it’s going to be an adventure,” he said as he touched down. He added: “I don’t want to take things too seriously and just enjoy it.”
He follows in the footsteps of his son Roman who previously appeared on the show, finishing in third place in the 19th series in 2019.
Earlier, Alex Scott arrived and said of girlfriend, singer Jess Glynne: “I already miss her, this will be the longest we’ve been apart since we’ve been together. We are certainly not used to it, it’s going to be hard. I am going to miss her show in Birmingham too. I am gutted she is not going to be here but I know she is going to be my biggest cheer leader. I am getting emotional now. I am trying to not even think about it. Hopefully I will see her on that bridge.”
Comic Eddie Kadi also said he would miss his eight-year-old daughter, as he arrived in the country. Ant and Dec are returning to host the hit series, which is in its 25th year. A source close to the show said: “Producers are expected to pull out the stops to ensure the 25th series is the most memorable yet.”
Meanwhile it’s been announced that I’m A Celebrity viewers will no longer be able to vote for a contestant to do three or more Bushtucker Trials in a row.
Show bosses have implemented a new rule change for the upcoming series, in which stars can only do a maximum of two Trials consecutively. If they are voted for two challenges in a row, they will then be exempt from the next vote.
