I’m A Celeb SPOILER: Campmates suffer sinking rafts, marauding rats and terrifying ravines
Shaun Ryder endures a not-so-lucky Monday as he faces a series of grueling trials in the upcoming I’m A Celebrity… South Africa.
The 60-year-old Happy Mondays singer and his fellow campmates suffer from sinking rafts, marauding rats and terrifying ravines in the first installment of the All Stars series.
Famous faces like Carol Vorderman, Helen Flanagan and Paul Burrell will return to the jungle on April 24.
The celebs who are used to lavish lifestyles can be quite shocked when they first look around the camp during the show hosted by Ant and Dec.
Their very basic camp has nothing more than a few wooden benches around a fire, some uncomfortable looking camp beds and hammocks and an outdoor shower.

Other features of the setup – which is six times larger than Australia’s – include a chore board with activities such as cooking and collecting wood that need to be pointed out.
In this camp, the wash water does not fall over a natural cliff, but falls from a shower head hanging from a tree.
The entrance to the camp also has a leafy walkway that leads down to a covered tree archway that enters the camp.
The beds are raised off the ground on wooden stilts to protect the stars from sharp creepy critters, but don’t offer a plush mattress.
A source told The sun of the new camp: “Everything is bigger, scarier and bolder. If the celebrities think they know what to expect, they’re wrong.
“All they can count on is rice and beans!”
The publication reports that the celebrities will be stranded in seclusion surrounded by wildlife about five miles away from the nearest road and 40 minutes’ drive from a village.

Ant said, “It’s a question we’re always asked… who would you take back to the jungle? So to get this chance to make a brand new show in South Africa and put some of our previous camp mates back to the test was the dream.”
Dec added, “It’s bigger and wilder than we hoped, so viewers are in for a real treat!”

That’s what a source said earlier The sun: ‘It’s a different format than Australia, who knows when and where celebrities will enter the camp, literally anything could happen.
“It’s not clear how many will start in the camp or how many will be at the end when someone is crowned king or queen of the jungle, possibly for a second time.
“It’s literally the best of I’m A Celebrity, but there are some twists and surprises along the way for viewers and campers, so it won’t be as easy as they might think.”
I’m A Celebrity… South Africa starts Monday at 9pm on ITV.
