I’m a Celebrity Australia star Skye Wheatley makes shocking hygiene confession – and it makes host Julia Morris dry retch: ‘That’s revolting’
I’m A Celebrity Australia star Skye Wheatley left Julia Morris dry-gagged on the show as she revealed ‘it’s been a week’ since she last showered.
The former Big Brother star, 30, made the shocking admission while training during Thursday night’s episode, leaving the presenter, 55, disgusted.
However, Skye was not ashamed of her unhygienic habit, saying the shower was just too ‘cold’ for bathing every day and ‘you’ll be dirty soon anyway’.
“I could have gone on longer because my underwear smells nice because I washed them, but it’s my hair,” Skye told her fellow contestants.
‘My hair feels dirty. My scalp stinks. I’m in bed and going like this [smelling her hair]. My hair looks like a bird’s nest.’

She continued, “I don’t even have cold showers in the summer. It’s been a while, but I’d say it’s been a week since I showered.”
At this point the footage cut to presenters Robert Irwin and Julia Morris, with the latter dry-gagging over Skye’s confession.
“Okay, Julia?” Robert, 20, said, to which his co-host, 55, replied: “I’m sorry. Wow, that’s very difficult. That’s quite disgusting.’

The shocking admission comes after Skye was praised by fans for the way she handled an ‘insane’ challenge on the show.
The social media star, who rose to fame on Big Brother in 2014, was chosen to take part in the infamous ‘Viper Room’ challenge during Sunday night’s episode.
Skye collapsed when she arrived at the site and was ordered to lie in a dark box underground filled with snakes for twelve minutes while she answered a series of questions about her fellow campmates in an attempt to win twelve stars.

After initially closing her eyes in the room to keep calm, Robert encouraged the mother-of-two to ‘open her eyes’ and enjoy the ‘incredible spectacle’.
“It’s actually pretty cool,” she admitted. After completing the challenge, Skye confessed that she “loved” the experience.
Fans quickly took to social media to praise the influencer for her bravery.
‘Skye is a real Tomb Raider! I’ve been following her for years! What an epic woman! Inspiring, kind, funny, full of energy!’ wrote one person.
