The 'Good Morning Britain' host's co-star is heading into the jungle for the new series of the ITV reality favourite, and he said he saw the breakfast show's stylist modifying a bikini with a secret pocket which could be used to store banned items.

Appearing on 'GMB' on Thursday (14.11.19), he said: "When I left on Friday, Debbie who does everybody's wardrobe was perfecting a little pocket for something into the bikini."

Fellow presenter Charlotte Hawkins sounded shocked and told him to stay quiet in case it was for "contraband".

Ben added: "Exactly, I think she was smuggling... well, I don't know exactly what it is.

"A bit of make-up maybe, or some spices, because someone said if you look after the cooking... a little seasoning?"

Kate, 53, actually had a run-in at customs on her way to Australia for the reality show when she was stopped after buying too many tanning products during a stopover in the United Arab Emirates.

She recently said: "I bought some fake tan in Abu Dhabi as I thought best to get that tan all over every part of my body, and they wouldn't let me through customs.

"I had to put it in its own special box. I was held up by my fake tan.

"I've got a lot of swimming costumes. It's quite hard as I've got bits of my body that I'm trying to cover up. In fact, a lot of my body I'm trying to cover up. I was looking for one that starts up here and goes down to my ankles."

Kate will be living in Oz alongside singer Nadine Coyle, former footballer Ian Wright, Rak-Su singer Myles Stephenson, Radio 1 DJ Adele Roberts, comedian Andrew Maxwell, ex-'EastEnders' actress Jacqueline Jossa, Capital Radio DJ Roman Kemp, Olympian and TV personality Caitlyn Jenner, and former England rugby player James Haskell.
