I'm A Celebrity bosses have had to step up security at their camp because there's a murderer on the loose.

ITV have reportedly now had to take extra measures to protect contestants following a "shocking" incident which took place in Murwillumbah, New South Wales, just five miles away from where the show's filmed.

Because of the location, police are now worried their suspect is hiding in the jungle.

A source said: "We have a security team on site. The safety and security of our celebrities and crew is of the utmost importance."

During a raid on a man's home, a man in his 40s was stabbed in the eye, and the day after he returned from hospital the same attacker is said to have killed him and injured his 25-year-old son.

Speaking to The Sun newspaper a local resident explained: "It's a sleepy place and we're not used to this sort of thing happening.

"It was a shocking thing to happen and we're still reeling from it."

A New South Wales police spokesman added: "The investigation into this case continues."
