I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! is expected to feature even more bugs
The hotly anticipated ITV reality show will need to give its star-studded lineup- which is rumoured to include Boy George, radio DJ Chris Moyles and ex ‘Love Island’ star Olivia Attwood- lots of mosquito spray as the show's return to the Australian jungle is expected to see a natural increase in bugs, prompting experts to warn about the "public health risks" and the need for protection.
The University of Sydney’s Professor Dieter Hochuli told the Daily Star newspaper: “This big one that is causing a lot of concerns for its upcoming summer is mosquitos.
“Their biology is driven by available water, and higher temperatures mean they will be able to reproduce quickly. The public health risks are significant and it will be an important summer for covering up and wearing repellent.
“This moist environment is really helping insects to deal with one of their greatest threats, which is drying out.”
The previous two series - which were won by author Giovanna Fletcher and ex ‘Emmerdale’ star Danny Miller respectively - were a lot less tropical as due to COVID-19 restrictions filming for the Ant and Dec-fronted show took place in Gwrych Castle in North Wales.
An insider commented that this series - which is set to start on Sunday (06.11.2022) due to the Qatar World Cup - has scored a "massive coup" with the reported inclusion of former rugby star, who is the husband of the late Queen Elizabeth's granddaughter Zara.
The insider said: “It’s a massive coup. Mike has had a box seat for some of the most important moments in royal history for generations. “He is sure to be discreet, but his sheer presence means this series will be an absolute must-watch.”
